Four 20-team Football League divisions

How the proposed new 20-team Football League divisions would look if we started today.

Wednesday, 18 May 2016

Hot+Cold Form Premier League 2015-16

Hot/Cold Rolling 5-match form Premier League table 2015-16 season.

Leicester and Arsenal only dipped below 7/15 points twice all season, the only two teams to do so.

Spurs third dip came at the end of the season, and combined with Arsenal's strong finish meant they lost second place.

Arsenal had a traditional cold spell in Feb/Mar, Man City had an even worse run at the same time. Both teams' title hopes ended at that point.

Everton didn't have a consistently good run all season, never exceeding 9 point in any 5-match sequence. The only other teams not to exceed 9 points were Newcastle and Villa, both relegated.

Watford had a great 13/15 run in Nov/Dec that helped them to avoid being dragged into the relegation fight. The only other teams to achieve a 13/15 run were the top 4 and Southampton.

Villa were the only team who never got more than 8/15 points.

Bolton v FOREST

A resurgent Forest are 2.5 to win away at unfancied Bolton.

Friday, 8 August 2014

Millwall Beat Leeds

Odds of 2.37 for Millwaw to beat unknown quantity Leeds is good enough for me.

Thursday, 12 June 2014

Brazil Croatia

The draw at 5.5 looks very appealing. Opening match of the World Cup, pressure on the hosts, both teams ultimately satisfied with a draw on the night?

Friday, 2 May 2014

Bolton Birmingham

Battling Brum to beat Bolton. Needing a win to avoid relegation, odds of 3.0, I'm in.

Friday, 25 April 2014

Saints v Toffees

Champ league wannabees Everton are 2.6 to win at a beach-ready Southampton.

Cottagers v Tigers

Scrapping Fulham are 2.3 to beat a Hull side with minds on the cup final.

Friday, 18 April 2014

Aston Villa Southampton

Villa 3.75 at home to Southampton. Even though Villa home record awful, but Soton in last game looked like their season might be now fading (a la Newcastle).

Port Vale Crawley Town

Banking on the home advantage to tip this match in Port Vale's favour. Odds of 3.0 v Crawley.
