Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/predictor/default.stm I know there have been discussions on other threads but I fancied having this in its own so we can see what we all think. After filling it all out, this is what I came out with: What do you get for the final table of the season?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 We've only won 3 games on the trot mate. Maybe a tad optimistic at this point? I'd love you to be right though.
Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 We've only won 3 games on the trot mate. Maybe a tad optimistic at this point? I'd love you to be right though. I honestly tried to put in what I thought the scores would be based on the current form and the first half of the season. I was rather shocked where we came out to be honest. Im thinking of asking a few chaps at work to do it for me to see what they come up with, I believe they are mainly Premierleague club fans, so shouldn't have too much bias.
saintstr1 Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Rose Tinted me thinks , Allthough I would be delighted with that Table.
Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 Rose Tinted me thinks , Allthough I would be delighted with that Table. But what do you come out with when you do it? Easy to comment if you havent done it yourself
SaintBobby Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Pancake, If you do honestly believe your predictions, I have a great money-making scheme for you. Saints are quoted at about 11/10 to be relegated, so you should be able to get not far off evens that we stay up, maybe 6/4 on. If you think we'll get 58 points, this is a fantastic bet.

Ive already got some cash on various ups and downs in the leagues but I dont ever bet on Saints.
SaintDonkey Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I reckon the bottom 8 will be Plymouth ----------53 Forest -------------52 Saints -------------51 Palace -------------50 Barnsley -----------49 Blackpool ----------45 Norwich -----------44 Charlton -----------38 Based purely on recent form
saintmatt Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 With a record of winning 6, drawing 2 and losing 4 of our remaining games,i had us finishing 16th and 7 points clear.. COYR!
SaintBobby Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Actually, have just done it myself - and I'm a pessimist - I came up with us finishing 15th on 55 points with Blackpool (45pts), Barnsley (43) and Charlton (36) going down. How do you post ur predictor table here by the way? A simpel cut and paste doesn't seem to work...
sfc6mufc3 Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Well I just filled this in and had us finishing 19th with Blackpool & Barnsley below us leaving Palace :shock:, Norwich & Charlton to be relegated. I based this on Palace's non- scoring run, but must have got a bit carried away.:smt017
St Landrew Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 (edited) It's not so much that Saints do well, but that there are at least 3 other teams who are going to struggle to put some significant points together for the rest of the season. Anyway, here's mine: Edited 5 March, 2009 by St Landrew
slickmick Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 (edited) Tried copy and pasteing and it came out wrong. Brum and Wolves play all the bottom teams each. I have been generous with our points Wolves 91pts Reading 88 Brum 88 Sheff Utd 79 Cardiff 79 Preston 79 Bristol 77 Swansea 67 Burnley 64 QPR 61 Ipswich 58 Plymouth 56 Doncaster 56 Palace 54 Derby 54 Watford 53 Saints 53 Norwich 52 Sheff Wed 52 Coventry 51 Forest 50 Barnsley 50 Blackpool 45 Charlton 39 Edited 5 March, 2009 by slickmick

I hit print screen, edited the image in Paint and uploaded it to photobucket (the least techy solution!)
St Landrew Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I used the website's own facility. Printed the final predictor screen. Cropped it in Paint Shop Pro, and saved it. Then uploaded to the site via the managed attachment facility.

saintstr1 Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I took your advice and just did it myself so here goes:- 1 Reading 92points 2 Wolves 92 3 Cardiff 89 4 Birmingham 81 5 Swansea 80 6 Sheff U 78 13 Saints 57 22 Norwich 46 23 Blackpool 42 24 Chalton 36 We will see but I will certainly take us with anywhere around 54-58 points. COYR

SuperMikey Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Hopefully this table is a reality - i'd sure take it!
Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 What happened to Barnsleys and Swanseas GD Mikey?
Scudamore Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Well i did it without looking at the table till the end...and apparently i'm predicting... Squeaky bumhole times ahead! But ultimately staying up...which would be nice...
del boy Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Actually, have just done it myself - and I'm a pessimist - I came up with us finishing 15th on 55 points with Blackpool (45pts), Barnsley (43) and Charlton (36) going down. How do you post ur predictor table here by the way? A simpel cut and paste doesn't seem to work... Mine worked out very similar, Saints in 16th on 54 points with the following relegated: Blackpool 45 Barnsley 42 Charlton 38 I'd settle for that. Its an interesting exercise, I think what we sometimes forget is how many points the teams around us are taking off each other while we just relentlessly grind out victory after victory (oh yeh)
Big Bad Bob Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Feck me this is long and tedious but despite being pessimistic I have us out of the bottom 3 for the first time when we beat QPR 2-1 at home!! I'll do the rest shortly but unfortunately work is getting in the way
Gingeletiss Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Well..........I ended up with 59 points, and half way up the table. If only;)
saintsdan Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I came out with a bottom 8 of :- QPR 53 Saints 53 Sheff Wed 53 Forest 52 Plymouth 52 Barnsley 52 Blackpool 44 Charlton 36 Our results were :- Birmingham(a) LOSE Derby(h) DRAW QPR(h) WIN Blackpool(a) WIN Charlton(h) WIN Watford(a) LOSE Wolves(a) LOSE Palace(h) WIN Wednesday(a) LOSE Burnley(h) WIN Forest(a) LOSE

Window Cleaner Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I came out with a bottom 8 of :- QPR 53 Saints 53 Sheff Wed 53 Forest 52 Plymouth 52 Barnsley 52 Blackpool 44 Charlton 36 Our results were :- Birmingham(a) LOSE Derby(h) DRAW QPR(h) WIN Blackpool(a) WIN Charlton(h) WIN Watford(a) LOSE Wolves(a) LOSE Palace(h) WIN Wednesday(a) LOSE Burnley(h) WIN Forest(a) LOSE And how exactly did Norwich get 17 or more points then??
saintjay77 Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 ima up to the 7th April and within a couple of matches we have jumped from 22nd to 12th!!!!! Its bloody tight in the bottom half of the table so we really could end up anywhere by the end of the season.

Big Bad Bob Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Here we go then And I was being fairly pessimistic about our score Brum 2 - 1 Saints Saints 2 - 2 Derby Saints 2 - 1 QPR Blackpool 2 - 2 Saints Saints 3 - 1 Charlton Watford 1 - 0 Saints Wolves 3 - 1 Saints (Teleivsed) Saints 2 - 2 Crystal Palace Sheff Weds 1 - 2 Saints Saints 2 - 2 Burnley Forest 1 - 1 Saints

Just logged in, in a similar [ah-hem] way, and you're right, there is no facility. Sorry about that. Perhaps we'll see if that can be amended.

Looks like he took a picture with his mobile and then sent it to his FaceBook profile!! BTW for those that want something small and less complicated than Paint Shop there is a free program called Paint.Net which I use, does all I want. http://www.getpaint.net/index.html
Scudamore Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I would have thought 'Stanley', myself. Stanley is Baj's ahem spare account. It's how he unleashes his pent up rage.
