Predict the Top 6 in order
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
A lot of posters did, but I'm not sure if they were all before the season started.
Just looking at the first page which was day or two before season started and no one did.
Everton featured in 3-4 selections in 6th place although with how crazy the league is they could yet have a late run at that with the bounce Ancelotti has given them.
I had them 6th yes
Pochettino really failed to live up to expectations this season.
Arsenal, consider me surprised.
I was scrolling through the first few pages trying to find you....ah October 8th when you made that prediction. Cheat.
Blimey
Given how the Spurs players are not performing for Mourinho I'd definitely say it's more on them than Poch
We will finish in 3rd just behind City. Leicester and Chelsea will start to drop more points. We may even catch City if they don't sign a defender in January. Unfortunately, there is no catching Liverpool...ugh
Still finishing 6th for me. Hope I am wrong.
Not in this thread, but I had:
Liverpool
City
Spurs
Leicester
Arsenal
Chelsea
United
At the start of the season.
I posted a top 4 elsewhere, you'll have to take my word for it and considering I'm going to be way off it's not like I'm cheating!
City
Liverpool
Arsenal
United
Had these as my top 5 goalscorers:
Sterling
Aubameyang
Mane
Rashford
Kane
If Vardy wasn't around I'd have a chance still.

Spurs being predicted as guaranteed 3rd or even in some cases title dark horses were the most laziest predictions I've seen for some time.
People rate those players based on what they use to be, not what they currently are.
I mentioned in the summer that Wolves and Leicester would be hunting for that 4th spot. Not sure I did it in list format.
I predicted City, Spurs, Liverpool. I was on hard drugs.
Only team I'd be surprised if we caught is Liverpool, especially given their FA stimulus package...
The actual top 6
Oh dear.
In my defence, I'm one of the only people who got top 4 right, just all in the wrong positions!
I did have a quick scan through, don't think anyone got it right
Meh prediction, but at least I had United at top 4.
Feck me.Damn, so good
So no one got it right at all even the ones that posted their prediction late months 2019.Even the so-called more knowledgeable football pundits.
Biggest reasons?
1. Over-estimate Spurs and Arsenal.
2. Under-estimate Leicester.
3. Under-estimate United.
Ha it’s quite fun to see posters revisit their own predictions
Interesting to see Arsenal feature so highly in everyone’s predictions.

Wow
This thread shows how big an impact Bruno had, and the credit Ole and the team deserve.
Was it the best league ever? No. Were we as good as the table suggests? In patches.
But the table never lies, feeling rather chuffed this morning.

Very good prediction, this.
Well done, this was brilliant considering we didn't sign Bruno at that time and we were way behind 3rd place.
Please, good sir.Wow
What on earth were you basing Chelsea winning the league on? Liverpool outside the top 4? By why?
I think when playing at your best, it's between yourself and Chelsea for 3th best team in the league, with Utd maybe edging it because you have more difference makers in your side imo. Liverpool and City would be a lot closer to each other if we go by that metric.
People have short memories but Leicester also played some lovely stuff before Christmas, just couldn't keep it up.
I've seen people saying that Leicester were 'unlucky' because of injuries.
I'd just like to point out that at the same time injured we had;
Shaw, McTominay, Pogba, Martial, Rashford. It's called making the most of your opportunities, plenty of which Leicester had.

For 36% of the season we were the best team in the league. I'll take that as a building block, all things considered.
You got next weeks lottery numbers too, mate?
A lot of people overrated Arsenal at the start of the season it seems.
I'll go one better this is how i think the top 10 will finish up.

Revisiting this thread shows how good a job Ole has done by finishing 3rd. More than 70% predicted us to be out of top 4. And in September/October there were moments when we were without Pogba Martial Shaw Awb and Greenwood/Williams did not have a break through then.
Credit to Ole. Also credit to Lampard for exceeding the expectations. Feck Arsenal. It's like TY himself was posting from multiple accounts.

United outside top 6? yes feck you!!!
Absolute pants I was way off.
Looks like the general view was that Arsenal & Tottenham had more experienced managers and were expected to steer their sides to the top four somehow, even if unconvincingly. In the end, they were both sacked. I think you have to give huge praise to Ole & Frank. Brendan also did incredibly well taking everything into account, even if they'll still be so disappointed to lose out at the last hurdle.
