BBC Predictor

It's that time of year.

I had us ending on 45 points.

[Thedelldays]

45 points

 

 

massive LOL

 

i reckon 37 at best

[Saint Garrett]

I'd be happy with 37...

[Scummer]

41 points, and I'd like to think I was being pretty realistic.

[DG]

41 too.

[pingwing]

I like my bottom 3, QPR 24 points, Villa 28, Reading on 28 and Wigan staying up on 33...

You're an optimist that's for sure. When I did it it came down to a nailbiting last day and we stayed up on 39 points. I hope this is wrong!

 

In this scenario we beat W Ham, QPR, W Brom and Stoke at home, managed a point at Norwich and Sunderland (v optimistic) and at home to Liverpool, lost home games against Man City and Chelsea, and away games at Swansea and Reading, Spurs and newcastle.

 

Newcastle 42 (-13)

W. Ham 40 (-16)

Norwich 40 (-19)

Saints 39 (-13)

Wigan 39 (-18)

Fulham 38 (-13)

Reading 38 (16)

Villa 32 (-33)

QPR 28 (-24)

[Saint Scott]

Finished up with Saints in 13th! This was my genuine neutral estimating too, im genuinely quite shocked by the outcome.

[Leicestersaint]

We will do well to reach 40 points, especially if we keep giving away late goals.

[Suhari]

Wigan and Villa cut adrift come the last day on 26 and 24 pts.

 

Us (35), QPR (33) Reading (32) go into the last match with massively squeaky arses. Our better goal difference might be the thing that keeps us up.

How do you upload the table matey?

[Avenue Saint]

43 points!

 

Where does that normally get you?

[Crouchie Crouchie]

39 points for me

[Saint Scott]

How do you upload the table matey?

 

http://www.tinypic.com and copy in the link you get with the tags around it into your post.

 

Obviously making sure you've cropped the image to just the table.

[SNSUN]

I did it the other day, it's all nonsense as otherwise we'd all win the pools every week, but the experiment was to see how Saints could do if we win our winable games, control the controllables as it were.

 

We finished on 41 points iirc. I do think we'll be in the relegation battle though, we've dropped too many points over the course of the season and may regret not strengthening more in January. I'll take going into the last game with our fate in our own hands.

 

I notice people have started tipping Reading to survive. I still don't see it. McDermott said "we've got lots of quality in this team". I don't see that either. Reading will still go down IMO, but at least for the time being they're showing balls. QPR are, I finally admit, going down too. They're just too far adrift, they need near title winning form for the rest of the season to escape now IMO. Then it's a 3 ways tie between us, Wigan and Villa. Villa have looked shocking this season - it could well be them, prompting our survival and Wigan's great escape.

Reading or anyone staying up on 30 points, is never going to happen! Lol

[aintforever]

I had us staying up easy on 43 points but these predictor things are completely pointless at this stage.

[saints_is_the_south]

41 points and 13th place finish. 9th downwards to be very close together IMO. West Brom and Stoke in poor form, the latter always seems to tail off towards the end. Think Newcastle will climb the table into the top half. Sooner or later I think we are going to become level with Norwich/Fulham/West Ham and then the bottom half will be a bit of a yo yo until the end of the season. Bottom 3 as it currently stands.

[redder freak]

39 points

Saints 39 (-13)

Wigan 39 (-18)

Fulham 38 (-13)

Villa 32 (-33)

QPR 28 (-24)

 

Oddly enough, this is almost exactly how I had it finishing, even goal difference. Literally the only difference I had was Fulham slipped into the bottom three and Reading clawed out of it.

[Crazy Diamond]

40 and I was a bit generous with one or two games.

[Winnersaint]

39 points 13th place. been objective and got;

14th West Ham36

15th Norwich 35

16th Reading 34

17th Villa 34

18th Fulham 33

19th QPR 32

20th Wigan 31

Neutral with a moniker like Saint Scott? Do us a favour!

[Wade Garrett]

41points, and thought I was quite pessimistic with the scores.

 

Had Reading, QPR and Villa going down.

 

20 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

[Restark19]

Had us staying up in 16 with 35 then Reading QPR and Villa all on 31 (latter 2 going down on GD) Wigan dead last with 29. West Ham only 2 points clear of us. Although Newcastle ended up 8th and United won the league with 99 points to City's 87

28 points to stay up will never be enough. More likely that we'll manage 45 point imo ;-)

[Saint Charlie]

Have us to stay up despite being pessimistic and only getting two more wins (WH home and Norwich away)

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Are we yet at the stage where someone calculates how many points should be good enough based points totals achieved by teams in the last ten years, and then people argue about interpreting it properly?

Why do you think QPR will be so much better than us?

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Why do you think QPR will be so much better than us?

 

Can't see that personally. Isn't Remy out for like 2 months?

[tajjuk]

Have us 13th with 40 points.

 

Draws at Newcastle, Norwich, Reading, and at home Liverpool.

 

Wins at home to Stoke, West Ham, West Brom and QPR.

[St Lej]

Lol worst table ever! Pure comedy. As if anyone on 30 points will stay up! You must have based pretty much all your predictions on a "top half beats bottom half" basis, then gave saints a few bonus points to ensure we stayed up. Great work

[CWD]

Wow mine ended up close at the bottom!

 

13th Norwich p38 -22 39

14th Fulham p38 -16 38

15th Saints p38 -16 38

16th WHam p38 -23 38

17th Reading p38 -24 33

18th Wigan p38 -26 33

19th Aston Villa p38 -41 33

20th QPR p38 -22 30

 

Reading to stay up on GD it is then!

this is hilarious... a Redknapp hater in numbers.. I think you need to re-visit the 22/25/27 estimates

[Bearsy]

I got the predictions from other club's forum... can you guess which clubs?

 

 

Predictions 1

 

Predictions 2

Edited 7 February, 2013 by Bearsy

[Thedelldays]

although I think we are going down...

 

here is how my predictor turned out....

 

14th - Norwich - 39

15th - Saints - 38

16th - Fulham - 38

17th - Reading - 36

18th - Villa - 35

19th - QPR - 33

20th - Wigan - 33

 

 

ffs

 

that also had us back in the bottom 3 after getting well beat at home to chelsea....then coming good

First QPR, second Wigan?

[Saint Garrett]

Whats the chances eh ?! haha Maybe a tad too bias!

11th

 

 

sorry, but yeah, WAY too biased lol

 

we have won 1 in 9..cant see us all of a sudden turning teams over on a more regular basis

also, you honestly think man united, with van persie etc will let a 9 point lead slip this season...?

Edited 7 February, 2013 by Thedelldays

[Saint Garrett]

Only had us beating QPR, West Ham, Swansea, WBA, Stoke, and drawing against Norwich, Liverpool, Chelsea, Sunderland. Losses against Spurs, Reading, City, Newcastle and

[Charlie Wayman]

So not one person has scored it with us going down. This alone makes the whole thing a mockery. Impartial scoring by 30 people or more would statistically result in us going down in at least one table yet not a sign of it here.

 

I'm afraid the old adage still applies - rubbish in / garbage out

We're Saints fans.....maybe only TDD, Dalek and Alpine would put us to be relegated. Only human to big up your own side isn't it? You have confidence that you're team is going to do well. My predictions don't take into account w4nky individual errors which no doubt we'll still have a couple but we're capable of getting a result against anyone in the league IMO.

Au contraire Charlie I was googling round other fans forums and hardly anyone has got us going down there either! Maybe we're quite good football team?

you are right..but when I do these predictor thingies...I try to be realistic and not big up one team because I support them..or dumb down another because I dont like them..

 

try to do it on form and the odd shock result (which will always happen)

[Tokyo-Saint]

Lols - dumb bear!

Not a dig at you mate,

 

but I did this and had us lower (16th) with less points than you had us on 37 points.

 

Considering our two usual stances, this did make me chuckle.

[Wade Garrett]

I'm going to give it another go. I'll let you all know if it pans out.

[70's Mike]

Had us staying up by a point, but did not really need the predictor to know it would go to last Sunday of season

[Black Sea Saint]

too many away games. I'm predicting we finish on 34 points. Can't be bothered to predict the other teams's scores. I hadn't really paid enough attention to the number of away fixtures before doing this. I've from being very optimistic to very pessimistic.

[Wade Garrett]

12th on 44 points, thought I was being realistic with the scores as well.Probably why I don't gamble much. I'm a bookies dream.
