The All- New Patentededederred "Nasie Anti-Tilt Table of Tilt" 2013/14

I'm a whole month later with my sooth-saying predictions this year, but thought it worth starting off with a reminder of my mystic predictions from last January.

Forget final totals as that's just a means to an end, BUT I called it right by saying Man U would win by a canter, and I got the regulated teams nailed too... in the right order!!!

So, with that success in mind, here comes the end of season table for 2013/2014 using my usual methodology of applying the exact number of points gained over the most recent games with the number of games left to play. For example, we have 11 games left. We have gained 10 points from our previous 11 games, so I add 10 points to our current league total of 28 to determine a final points tally of 38. Clear? Good-oh!

The table reads across with team placing, games to go, points from previous number of games (11 or 12), current league points, and end of season totals.

1. Chelsea 11 27 60 87
2. Man City 12 29 57 86
3. Arsenal 11 24 59 83
4. Liverpool 11 23 56 79
5. Spurs 11 23 50 73
6. Man U 11 20 45 65
7. Everton 12 18 45 63
8. Southampton 11 15 39 54
9. Newcastle 11 13 40 53
10. West Ham 11 17 31 48
11. Palace 12 16 26 42
12. Hull 11 11 30 41
13. Sunderland 12 16 24 40
14. Norwich 11 10 28 38
15. Aston Villa 11 9 28 37
16. Swansea 11 8 28 36
17. Stoke 11 9 27 36
18. WBA 11 10 25 35
19. Fulham 11 8 21 29
20. Cardiff 11 5 22 27

As I say, the points as such are only a means to an end. Of course there are going to be teams who have an up-lift in form, others will nose-dive, and Norwich will continue their model of season-long consistency to average exactly one point per game.

We are safe AGAIN!!!

Most people have called West Brom, Fulham and Cardiff as their three to go... but it is a lot lot tighter at the bottom this year, making my regulated trio more uncertain. However, the thing to remember is that games are running out and although there's still a lot to play for between teams at the bottom.. you won't have that many teams currently below us having a significant up-turn in their fortunes.

Bottom half teams still to play each other are:

Fulham: Cardiff (a), Villa (a), Norwich (h), Hull (h), Stoke (a), Palace (h)
Cardiff: Fulham (h), WBA (a), Palace (h), Stoke (h), Sunderland (a)
Sunderland: WBA (h), Hull (a), Palace (h), Norwich (a), West Ham (h), Cardiff (h), Swansea (h)
WBA: Sunderland (a), Swansea (a) Hull (a), Cardiff (h), Norwich (a), West Ham (h), Stoke (h)
Palace: Swansea (a), Sunderland (a), Cardiff (a), Villa (h), West Ham (a), Fulham (a)
Stoke: Norwich (a), West Ham (h), Villa (a), Hull (h), Cardiff (a), Fulham (h), WBA (a)
Norwich: Villa (a), Stoke (h), Sunderland (h), Swansea (a), WBA (h), Fulham (a)
Villa: Norwich (h), Stoke (h), Fulham (h) Palace (a), Swansea (a), Hull (h)
Swansea: Palace (h), WBA (h), Norwich (h), Hull (a), Villa (h), Sunderland (a)
Hull: Sunderland (h), WBA (h), West Ham (a), Stoke (a), Swansea (h), Fulham (a), Villa (a)
West Ham: Stoke (a), Hull (h), Sunderland (a), Palace (h), WBA (a)

Many observations from those matches left, but one thing strikes me more than any other. We have a huge chance to be home and hosed before the last four BIG games. That would/could put a lot of pressure on those lower rivals fighting it out over the last half dozen games of the season.

Too many words.
