You only bottle it against teams worse than you.

Losing to a team better than you is just you know losing.

my point exactly really, 1 nill up with 5 minutes to go, to then lose

i guess we did it to spuds earlier in the season tho
 

I thought about doing something like this, with one big change. Don't guess results.

Here's how I think it could work:

Everton v Man City at Etihad.

Expected Points for Everton = Average of (average away points for Everton this season) and (average points earned by Man City opponents at Etihad)

I think that might be more accurate than just guessing, by accepting the probabilities of many outcomes.

Another point: You could do the same with goals to estimate goal differential.

Just to update you good people, I had the RS down for a home win yesterday in my predictor spreadsheet.

It's still on*








*though hopefully with Moyes a million miles away from the club
 

Just to update this I think it's going to be incredibly close. Since I first did this the RS and Spurs now look increasingly ropey whereas Arsenal and Chelsea have picked up solid wins.

In short I now have us finishing 6th on goal difference but only a point off 4th.

I could be wrong mate so still keep the faith and all that

Things are so hard to call mate aren't they , how many would have predicted a spurs defeat ?

Personally I think we'll be sixth or seventh (probably sixth ) & I have for a bit but I'd be delighted to be completely wrong
