Pundits Predictions.

[argyle]

Can we make a list/links of pundit predictions, top 4, relegation places etc. I'm guessing Allison Rudd has us down for Europa League spot?

I just read that lawrenson hasn’t predicted a defeat for cult fc since the final game of the 15/16 season.... what’s the point !?!?

I just read that lawrenson hasn’t predicted a defeat for cult fc since the final game of the 15/16 season.... what’s the point !?!?

Every season Lawrenson's predictions are rated against the guest guesses, and every year he comes in behind Zippy, Bungle and George.

I just read that lawrenson hasn’t predicted a defeat for cult fc since the final game of the 15/16 season.... what’s the point !?!?

But he also had us down for 108 points and unbeaten last season, and Liverpool on 92. It’s hard to predict either side to lose a game right now.

I am pretty sure that Lawro has been dropped by the bbc (now I know why!)

Premier League predictions 2019-20: BBC Sport pundits pick top four
By Chris Bevan

Manchester City successfully defended their Premier League title last season - will anyone stop them from completing a hat-trick?

No team has been champions of England for three successive years since Manchester United reigned from 2006-07 to 2008-09, but that is the next target for City boss Pep Guardiola, who has already achieved the feat in Spain (Barcelona, 2008-11) and Germany (Bayern Munich, 2013-16).

Liverpool, who finished a point back, came closest to stopping the City juggernaut last time out, but who will challenge them in 2019-20?

Will the Reds repeat the run of results that led to that near-miss? How will Chelsea fare with Frank Lampard in charge, but without Eden Hazard and under a transfer embargo?

Will Tottenham, who lost 13 league games last season, maintain their challenge this time? Is this when Arsenal get back in the Champions League places after a three-year absence, and are Manchester United serious contenders again after going six years without coming close to the title?

We asked 24 BBC TV and radio pundits to pick their top four with explanations for their selections.

The predictions were made on the basis of how each squad shaped up on Thursday, 8 August, after the deadline for incoming transfers but with the potential for players to leave up until the transfer window shuts in the rest of Europe at the end of August.

I read that BBC piece before.

You can sum it up really as:

"I think City will win because they're the best team with the best players and the best manager"

vs

"I think Liverpool will win because I've got a feeling or summat, they're good aren't they hey? Remember Kevin Keegan? When I was a lad walking down the Anfield Road......"
