Randy grabs surprise victory in closest season yet!

Only Kent maintains his position this year collecting his third second place finish. It's all change between Randy and Jay however as Dave secures his first win, breaking the domination of Jay in the first three seasons.

The predictions can be seen here.

The Results:

1. Randy - 116 Points **
2. Kent - 113 Points ***
3. Jay - 107 Points ***

As mentioned, this year it was much closer than previous years with the high-scoring maintained by all three. Everybody got the top 3 wrong and only Randy correctly predicted the bottom two in the relegation zone. Particularly strange predictions include Kent's placing of Sunderland in 10th and predicting that Emile Heskey would score 18 goals. Similarly Randy's Joey Barton was way off the mark.

It is worth noting that Jay was only 1 goal away from correctly predicting Henry's goal talley, although this wouldn't have changed the end result. This year nobody got near Charlton, Wigan and Blackburn.

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),
