ricardo 7,395 Posted November 25, 2012 [quote user="Grant Holts 3 year contract"][quote user="ricardo"]You will be glad to hear Nigel, that after much analysis and discussion with Snowy the Cat, Ricardo is now prepared to call it that City will not be relegated this season.In 20 seasons of the Premier League 61 teams have been relegated (4 in 94/95 due to reduction in number of clubs). Of those 61 subsequently relegated clubs 51, ( 84%) had averaged a point a game or less after 12 matches played.In half of those 20 seasons all 3 subsequently relegated clubs had averaged less than a point a game after 12 matches and in the other 10 seasons, 2 out of 3 were relegated.The only teams with more than a point a game average after 12 games but were subsequently relegated were:-92/93 Middsboro 16 points94/95 Norwich 19 points96/97 Middsboro 13 points97/98 Palace 15 points98/99 Charlton 15 points00/01 Man City 14 points07/08 Reading 13 points08/09 Middsboro 17 points09/10 Hull City 16 points10/11 Blackpool 14 pointsPoints to consider:-1. People often say that there is always a team that drops into the relegation positions late on. This is not born out by the facts. 84% of relegated teams have accumulated only 12 points or less after 12 games. 2. The bookies are offering 7/4 City will be relegated but the true odds are better than 8-1.3. History says that it is a statistical certainty that 2 teams from Wigan, Villa, Southampton, Reading, QPR. will be relegated and that it is an even money shot that all three relegated teams will come from this five.[/quote]So basically you messed your pants far too early and now you''re changing your mind? [8] Are you First Wiz, are you First Wiz, ARE YOU FIRST WIZ IN DISGUISE [8][:P] [;)][Y][/quote]Er No, since my BBC predictor results has us finishing on 44 points and 14th position.

dpit 1 Posted November 25, 2012 Now a wiser ( or less honest) person may have considered ''tweaking'' their Swans Pool prediction, given that they posted 5 minutes before the end of the match with the score 0-0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonetheless without additional algorithm tweaking, I predict tomorrows results will be -Chelsea 3 - 0 FulhamEverton 2 - 1 Arsenal Man Utd 3 - 1 West Ham -- Soton 0 - 2 City ---Stoke 2 - 1 NewcastleSwansea 1 - West Brom 0 Totenham 2 - 0 LiverpoolWigan 1 - 3 Man City Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
