Rant’s premier predictions 2010/11 revistited
In August Rant put its neck on the block to predict the season’s outcomes for the second year running. Revising the post nine months on we find that Rant correctly predicted nine of 29 variables reviewed in August. It’s four down from 13/29 a year ago, although with a number of Premier League placings very close.
Of course, we got some big ones wrong, like Manchester United winning the Premier League trophy in May and reaching the Champions League final!

Predicting 3rd to 7th is no mean feat. A lot of those positions were decided in the last week or so of the league.
I MISS WATCHING UNITED!
*cries*
Spurs finished above liverpol!
Except he didn’t, as he got Tottenham’s and Liverpool’s position wrong.
I’ve had quite a good one, better than usual!
1. United
2. Chelsea
3. City
4. Arsenal
5. Liverpool
6. Everton
7. Spurs
Relegated:
Wigan
Blackpool
West Brom
CL Final: United v Real
F.A. = Chelsea
Carling = Arsenal
Nice one copying my name there…
You got Tottenham and Liverpool the wrong way round.
Bloody pendants the lot of you
Man utd will win every cup next season
Oliver Gill won young player of the year? Really.
He won United’s young (well reserve) player of the year.
essien?
Yes, that was my guess, which was wrong!
I predicted United would win, as I do every season. We have won about 63% of the PL titles, so as far as I’m concerned it’s illogical to bet against United.
