‘Liverpool will struggle’ and ‘Ipswich will be cushty’ – revisiting our 24/25 Premier League predictions
The Premier League season is over and that can mean only one thing: going back to our pre-season predictions and laughing our heads clean off at the hilariously confident wrongness containe within.
Mocking our ridiculous and frequent inaccuracies in this fashion makes แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ us realise why you lot enjoy it so much in the comments.
Anyway. Let’s crack on. Upcoming highlights include ‘Liverpool will struggle’, Ipswich to stay up ‘comfortably’, Forest to get relegate and Nuno to be the first manager out of a job. Yeah, it’s a vintage year all right.
A large and at the time pretty understandable consensus for a Man City five-peat here, with plenty of chat about them doing it easily. ‘I think the gap will be bigger’ said big boss Sarah Winterburn; ’12 points to spare’ chirpe Dave Tickner.
There were Arsenal shouts from Matt Stead and Jason Soutar, and absolutely no Liverpool talk whatsoever. No shame in that at the time, really – the Liverpool-base shame arrives with the next question.
And the rest of the top four, in order. Which nobody ever gets right. In keeping with tradition, absolutely nobody got this right. But boy did some get it wrong.
The points in this round go to John Nicholson for at least managing to Eric Morecambe his way to the right four clubs, if not necessarily in the right order, following up his City title prediction with: ‘Arsenal, a long way behind. Chelsea, despite being a joke. Liverpool, despite losing a manager.’
Tickner and Jason Soutar got all their four into the Champions League at least having name Newcastle among their picks and – crucially – not left out Liverpool. Bonus points here for Soutar also saying Villa wouldn’t be as good and that Spurs would prioritise cup competitions. And how.
