Well apart from overestimating how Boro would do, I'm quite happy with my predictions for this season, particularly in the lower leagues... Replace Boro with the prem in general which has caught us all out at least somewhere and the same is true for me. In fact with the exception of QPR in the Championship and Ebbsfleet in Blue Sq Prem i got those leagues pretty much spot on! Well, assuming Brum don't finish 4th anyway. Massively underpredicted how Hearts would do, but its been a good season for Gillingham. Irrespective of whether they go up or not reaching the playoffs counts as an achievement, and they finally sorted out their away form in the 2nd half of the season, something which has dogged them in recent years.

I worked out how well we predicted. A spot on prediction = 0 points, 1 point given for each position (either side) a team finished from where you predicted.
1 Earl Purple 62 pts (Arsenal & Aston Villa correct) 2 Maximo Mark 66 pts (Arsenal & Bolton correct) 3 Misterhamster 68pts (Manchester United, Arsenal & Aston Villa correct) 4 Frag 70 pts (Manchester United & Chelsea correct)
Close then, not much in it at all! Arsenal and Manchester United the best predicted teams, just 2 points out each. Fulham the worst predicted team (with predictions of 15th, 16th, 16th & 16th) followed by Stoke, Portsmouth and Newcastle.

Probably because we all made the same mistakes.
The maximum number of points is 200 (if you get each team out by 10 places, you can't do any worse); you can only get an even number of points.

Predictions for other divisions: CHAMPIONSHIP Promoted: Birmingham, Reading Playoffs: QPR, Crystal Palace, Sheff Utd, Wolves Relegated: Barnsley, Blackpool, Coventry LEAGUE ONE Promoted: Leeds, Leicester Playoffs: Carlisle, Southend, Huddersfield, Colchester Relegated: Cheltenham, Walsall, Bristol Rovers, Hereford LEAGUE TWO Promoted: Rochdale, Bradford, Gillingham Playoffs: Darlington, Shrewsbury, Wycombe, Port Vale Relegated: Luton, Chester CONFERENCE: Promoted: Torquay Playoffs: Stevenage, York, Ebbsfleet, Wrexham Relegated: Altrincham, Lewes, Weymouth, Northwich SPL: Champions: Celtic Relegated: Hamilton How did I do? 2 points for a correct prediction. 1 for an almost right (automatic promotion and playoffs wrong way round). CHAMPIONSHIP: We'll say 2 points for Birmingham, 1 for Reading. 2 for Sheff Utd, 1 for Wolves. 0 for the relegated teams. 6 points. LEAGUE ONE: 2 for Leicester, 1 for Leeds. A blank for the playoffs. 2 each for Cheltenham and Hereford going down. 7 points. LEAGUE TWO: 1 point each for Rochdale and Gillingham. 2 points for Shrewsbury, 1 for Wycombe. 2 points each for Luton and Chester. 9 points. CONFERENCE: 1 point for Torquay. 2 points for Stevenage. 2 points each for Lewes, Northwich and Weymouth. 9 points. SPL: 0 points. A grand total of 31 points...
