Premier League 2015-16

[J_Stewart]

The same amount as Lionel Messi, 0.

If Messi was signed by an EPL team, it would only be a "big 4" side that could afford him and that team would win the league for as long as he played for them. If Scott Brown was signed by an EPL club, they'd be fighting relegation. Only a Sunderland or Newcastle type omnishambles would sign him, as he's not good enough to play for anyone else, and without the protection he gets from Scottish referees, after 6 months he'd be viewed as the Scottish Lee Cattermole, which is basically what he is.

Darren Fletcher was, is, and always will be a vastly superior player to Scott Brown.

Am I the only one who still just doesn't quite believe Leicester will pull it off?

Almost everything is now in their favour - five point cushion, form, easiest run-in, only the league to focus on, rivals throwing points away like Skittles.

But still.

Would love it, Kevin Keegan style, if they do it though.

I think they will win it now, I was bored at work last week and did a run in with the top 4 and it came out with Spurs taking it by a point over Leicester, however I had both the weekend games to end a draw.

So going by my fannying about its now Leicester's title to throw away.

Don't disagree with the 1st bit at all.

2nd bit has definitely not shone through for Scotland the last few years anyway. Which is why Fletcher can't get a game over, captain, leader and legend, Broony.

Love to see your working, specifically with regards to Sunderland picking up 14 points from the last 9 games

I never saved the results I had put in. I didn't overthink it tbh, just really went on instinct. I'm pretty sure Sunderland will make it, they're like a limpit. there's really only 2 relegation spots this season now anyway.

[ScotSquid]

No danger West Ham are finishing as low as 9th

[54_and_counting]

Keep up. It's 1872 now.

oofftt the "yer club died" brigade wont like that one it

Captain Fantastic

[Glenn Medeiros]

Arsenal 4th

We'll be after the treble.

[paul-r-cfc]

Rumours that Garde is in line for the sack but he may beat them to the punch and resign. Why would he do that, would surely mean he forgoes any compensation he'd be due if he was sacked?

[Bully Wee Villa]

Not if he subsequently claimed constructive dismissal, like O'Neill.

[The Grass Is Greener.]

I'd also rated McArthur over Brown, he's been consistently good for Palace and it's no shock to see them struggling while he's injured.

Very underrated player.

[SlipperyP]

quality fishing by 1888kkk there.

For some reason this made me think of that predictor thing that used to be on the BBC Scottish football site on a Friday.  You'd get dicks like Chick Young, Billy Dodds and Murdo McLeod giving score predictions.

 

It turned out that if you took all the results of Billy Dodds and created the final league table, both Celtic and Rangers won 34, drew 4, obviously against each other, and lost 0.

 

ICT I think had about 5 points or something.
