Football - 20/10/12

My prediction and these were picked a few days ago, and I haven't had the time to publish it until this morning, so the Friday games have passed.
I should have avoided Barnet considering they have a new manager - they will probably win the majority of games due to his expertise.

The result and I did poorly. I think I picked all the games that did not have both teams to score! That is how bad I did.

The only good point is that Man City lead 1-0 at Half-time; Crystal Palace had two or more goals in second half; and Peterborough was 0-0 at half-time.

Oh well, better luck next time.

Table

Amazingly, we have Cardiff top of the Championship, although it is still early. I am bit doubtful that they will hold first spot.

 

I thought that Blackpool will make a better start, but they have been hit and miss, and Leicester and Cardiff have been the most consistent.

 

Normally there is a surprise team that hits form near the middle of the season, so we will see which of the teams it will be, or whether Cardiff are strong enough to hold the top spot throughout the season.

 





The Premiership has Chelsea in top spot, and I did hope that Arsenal will be able to challenge, and they have started better than last year, although they have started conceding one goal in each of their last games.
I thought that Man Utd will be in a better position, although they are leading 2-0 against Newcastle, so they will move to third spot.
