I had us first and Portsmouth 2nd

At the start of the season you predicted City would finish top and Portsmouth 2nd?
Really?

Favoured teams on the left hand side and the results shown.

A very good week all round for results.

Almost 100 points separating Coventry from the second placed team but still a number of games to play until the party-poppers can safely be put on order.

Not them as they’ve been restricted by the wage bill

In the end this “rivalry” is nothing more than a childish social media generation spat

Sunderland area team with huge heritage an obsessive fan base and this mocking is tiring. When we were relegated from the premier league we were up to our eyes in debt and still paid £18,000 a week and £5 million on a striker and continued to pay nearly half his wages when he left us.

It’s childish and boring

I believe the main prediction which was shared by MR in the Cov Tel was 6th place at the start of the season.

That’s last month isn’t it?

I believe I had us finishing 5th at the start of the season (if somebody finds it) I never dreamt we would be doing what we are

I would like to put a note in here that this system has been predicting the top place finish since the 22nd January.

Why? The season is a long way from being over.
We aren't guaranteed to finish top, nor Portsmouth second.

The one that was pre season predictions

I predicted playoffs but I wasn't on here at the start of the season so you will have to believe me guv.

This is what annoys me. They started it a but we should have just treated them as they are - nothing to us, that in itself winds up fans more. But we took the bait and here we are debating about what each other said on their respective forums

I really couldn’t give a fuck about Sunderland. I just find it funny how angry they get about us.

They can have 2nd place.

If we get promoted, does Robins get a boost in salary? Otherwise, I can see some other club trying to poach him away.

Went un-noticed as nobody could work out what on earth it all meant. Excellent work, though. You obviously don't have complete faith in your own system!

I can see that happening regardless and we'd struggle to compete. Hopefully he believes there's more to achieve still and stays at least a season more!

You're not wrong there. It's there to be argued with.

I am really waiting till the end of season to count everything up. It's just an experiment like anything else.

If it's close to the league table then this will the second year it has been tested, and be ready to share.

How many of you had us 10th/mid table? There were a lot of you I recall....
Perhaps we can have a name call.

someone drag up the thread and let’s see what we all said

I said Automatic Promotion.

I don't recall the last time i expected city to win pretty much every game they went into, probably when i was about 6 years old. I like the fact we are keeping so many clean sheets, if we can be hard to beat in the Championship (assuming promotion) then this defence is a very good starting point to that and potentially staying up

Just watched the highlights...

The quality in that cross from Dabo which Godden put over the bar is exceptional, what a player!

There's only 10 whole games left to play. We should get the open top bus booked.
