How did my Football League Predictions go?


So now the Football League season is done with apart from the play offs here's a little look back at how my picks went.

In the Championship from the ante post picks I had Wolves to win it, they were nowhere near. I also had Derby and Middlesbrough to go up. For the drop in my ante post picks none of them hit. In January I had Derby, Hull and Ipswich to be promoted, of course only Derby or Hull can do it. I actually think Sheffield Wednesday will end up winning the play offs. For the drop I had Bolton, MK Dons and Rotherham so I hit on a couple of them.

In League One from the ante post I faired pretty badly having Shrewsbury to go up they nearly went down, and Doncaster to go up who did go down. Wigan to go down, they ended up as Champions. Who cares about League One anyways!? :)
In January I got Blackpool correct to go down. Some smarter picks came with Burton I had as second and Millwall to win the play offs. I also hit on Crewe and Colchester to go down.

In League Two nothing in the ante post hit, but in January, Oxford United did go up and Portsmouth or Plymouth could go up. I got York going down correct. So the lower leagues were a bit hit and miss.

In January I had Manchester United to win the FA Cup, which could hit. In the pre season I had Manchester City for the League Cup and Real Madrid for the Champions League. So not too bad with them picks look out for my Premier League review and Euro 2016 preview coming soon.

Where has as it all gone wrong for Chelsea?

After Chelsea’s defeat in Germany to Bayer Leverkusen manager Andre Villas-Boas is a man under serious pressure no matter what he thinks. As Chelsea sank to their third defeat from their last five games I look into where has it gone wrong? Well Chelsea was on a run of six unbeaten going in to their game at Loftus Road towards the end of October. A game where Chelsea thought they would walk all over their London rivals. This didn’t happen that day in West London Chelsea lost the game and lost the plot. The repercussions of that match have still left an effect. QPR won 1-0, but the game will also be remembered for John Terry’s racist slur, Chelsea’s ill-disciplined team (7 yellows and 2 reds). Plus AVB was fined £12,000 after the game for comments made about the referee. Since that match Chelsea have only beaten Blackburn Rovers & Everton on penalties. Their defence looks weak, Terry is getting exposed and David Luiz is not the best partner. Centre of midfield is a problem, Lampard ...

After this weekend’s events what have we learnt in the Premier League. Firstly its Man City’s title to lose, 11 wins and 1 draw in the league at this point they look unstoppable. Man United have a problem in centre midfield. Rooney is filling a gap there and Fergie knows he has a problem. There’s a lack of creative talent in the centre of the park, missing out on Nasri & Sneijder is showing plus the loss of Scholes showed how good he really was. Young could move into the centre where he did play for Aston Villa which could be an option. Tottenham look to be firing on all cylinders now, pace down both wings and they have the creative spark with Modric and Van Der Vaart. Now with Scott Parker doing the dirty work they look in good condition for top 4. Newcastle United’s first test against City was always going to be hard after an easy start to the season, but they do look solid at the back and have been exciting to watch. Chelsea look to have forgotten how to defend, lost th...

English sides in Champions League..

A look at the English sides in Champions League action this week. Real Madrid v Liverpool  Out of form Liverpool head to Madrid which was always going to be the toughest game of the group. They were given a footballing master class at Anfield by the current European Champions as they won 3-0. Madrid are on a 11 game winning streak in all competitions and I only see that continuing. Liverpool are struggling, Mario Balotelli hasn't lived up to the hype, while Gerrard is struggling this season and it looks like he will be rested, or in other words 'dropped'. There is a clear over reliance on Raheem Sterling, if you keep him quite you keep Liverpool quite. They still can't defend, which cost them their first ever Premier League title. I see Real Madrid winning this 4-0 with Ronaldo scoring the first. Arsenal v Anderlecht  Arsenal could practically seal their place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League with a win here. The Gooners snatched victory against Anderlech...
