Losing the title on goal difference, heart breaking.

[RFUS]

17th.

And I probably would have won if I'd predicted more than 44 games.

The moral victor right here ladies and gents.

To be fair I think I had a score for every game, so 6th is actually a bit gash.

It's a bit like Liverpool spunking £100 mil on their shiny weapons, but still losing the gunfight to us and our Costco kitchen knife.

I finished 40th and didn't even participate!

 

[Woolly Blue]

76th, but that's partly because I took a stand against the decision to include the pre-season games in the league .... and also partly because I was overly optimistic about our results. Anyone finishing high up the league should hang their heads in shame because it probably means they correctly forecast many of our losses. I'm proud to be mid-table.

i didn't enter this year, but if i had, i'd have given the top 3 a run for their money!

163rd. I hang my head in shame.

 

[LoneStarToffee]

No kidding. I had Everton winning today, but I think Simon called the 3-1 scoreline which is mighty impressive...well done sir!

Unlucky Simon Andrews, but congratulations to LoneStarToffee - officially the most knowledgeable on GOT!

Where did you all finish?

Appreciate the shout out...made the season fun

 

[Philw]

I didnt even do it, thus meaning I am the ultimate winner.

You have to share with me lid....

Interesting that the top of the table is dominated by the 'less frequent' posters... gotta keep an eye on the quiet ones... but seems a bit odd that every one has played a different amount of 'games'???

[/TABLE]

Just for interest worked out the top 20 'American sports style'. Basically normalises for different amounts of games played and works out as a %. Ranked according to 3*W%+D%. This is basically the same as working out what everyone would have got from 50 'games' according to the points they actually got and doubling. As you can see Lao comes out on top in this table, a result that is backed up by his 'Goal Difference' of -71. Note that GOT's however was -62. In basketball analysis circles what they call 'point differential' is often considered a better harbinger for future results, so keep an eye on Danny for next season!

Is there gonna be a Euros version running??

I did all my predictions before the season so obviously i was let down by our utterly rubbish start to the season, i can only assume a lot of you expected us to be rubbish hence doing better than me, i think i would have won if we were good before feb, stitched up i reckon.
