For the second time, last summer, the three masters of the football at TON laid their predictions down for the following season. For the second time, we showed just how little we knew about what was going to happen.

The predictions can be seen here.

The Results:

1. Jay - 82 Points **
2. Kent - 70 Points *
3. Randy - 52 Points *

For the second season in a row we can see that I have in fact won. Kent has pulled back from last season's 3rd position to 2nd with Randy dropping to last. The scoring is much more spread out this year, probably down to my hastily constructed points system which is quite the tricky beast to tame.

In conclusion, everybody thought Leeds's bad season was a one off and never expected them to go down, oh how wrong were we. Also overestimated were: Everton, Man City and Blackburn, whilst Birmingham, Fulham and Aston Villa did much better than expected.

Breakdown of Scoring:
Red=10 Points (Exact Position), Blue=5 Points (Within 1 place, First Manager), Navy=3 Points (Within 3 places)
Green=Double Points (Joker), Bronze=15 Points (Correct goals for goalscorer),
