Fortunately for Carlo Ancelotti, his boys finished it in style and he won't need to go cap in hand to Arsene Wenger to keep the trophy! Well, what a season. Should Bridge have shaken Terry's hand? Pompey been docked 9 pts? United have sold Tevez? (a huge mistake for me!) Roy Hodgson become Sir Roy?, Phil Brown have been sacked? or David Sulivan keep hi mouth shut? In the end I think the best team won. It was only a point, but the way in which Chelsea crushed teams at times (103 goals, including 6 or more 6 times) was pretty awesome
Below are all the usual stats + I have listed all of the Weekly and Minileague winners. Well done to you all. I'll be in touch with you all re prize money soon, but congratulations are mainly due to the new champion whose name is added to the (virtual!) trophy. He has led the field since Week 25, and fended off a brave late challenge by Hailey Ackrill...so take a bow Derby County fan, JASON NICHOLAS - the 2009/10 Premiership Predictions Champion! The rest of the top 8 (See below) have all won some prize money, so well done on a great season and hard luck to those who just missed out, such as Marc Trainis and Phil Williams.
It just remains to say thankyou to all of those that helped sort out their minileagues, and especially to Dave Rakison who has constantly updated this excellent blog, and put up with my last minute changes, all the way from the US! Great job - thanks Dave!
Thanks to you all for playing and I hope you all have a great summer. I'll be in touch with all of those who are playing World Cup Predictions soon, and with the rest of you after Brazil have won it to see if you fancy another season of Prem Predicting!
It's been emotional. Atb, Ciro
Thanks to Ciro for making it another great year of predictions. The website will be back next year. I'm open to suggestions for changes so feel free to email ideas to me. Cheers, David R.
