Premier League Predictor

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm

Takes a while, but close enough to the end of the season to make it worth it. Here's what I came up with, based mainly on Man. Utd. drawing away to Chelsea and at home to Arsenal. The latter is probably the swing game.

Arsenal - 87
Man. Utd. - 83
Chelsea - 77
Liverpool - 72
Everton - 70
Aston Villa - 68
Blackburn - 62
Portsmouth - 61
Man. City - 55
Spurs - 52
West Ham - 50
Boro - 41
Wigan - 40
Sunderland - 39
Newcastle - 37
Bolton - 36
Reading - 36
-----------
Birmingham - 31
Fulham - 31
Derby - 12

Realistically though, I don't really expect Everton to get as many as 70 points, or Birmingham to go down, or Man. City to tail off that badly. And of course things will change if Portsmouth reach the Cup final (they won't care about the league), and in individual matches for the relegation battling clubs depending on their particular situation leading up to that match. The top 4 will also have to deal with CL fixtures, which I don't know the dates of and hence haven't considered for example, that Arsenal always drop points after European games.

Yeh, I was about to comment on Brum being in the relegation zone. They seem to slowly but surely be turning it around.

Thanks Kas, that has just brought a smile to my face.

You are right in regard to our league form after European games, it has always been a concern. Hopefully we can address our league form this week against Middlesbrough, six points dropped in the last three games is no way near championship winning stuff.

I don't know Birmingham's remaining fixtures, but their form in recent weeks has picked up. I would back them over Bolton and Reading to stay up.
