    You need to do it on the original list, with the commas kept in. Then I'll let you play...

    I love the way when people have to correct something, they change other teams' positions <laugh>

    I got Sunderland in 20th spot on. After that it goes downhill somewhat!

    The results are in. The good news is that at a couple of quid a go, various charities have benefited to the tune of £58.

    Waffle first:

    Worst individual prediction of all was Beddytare with his predicting Middlesbrough in 7th

    The furthest out for Saints were Davecg69 and Liebherr Legacy, both of whom were rather pessimistically expecting us to be14th!

    The average best prediction was Arsenal, where the mean guess was just one place out.

    The average worst prediction was Bournemouth where the mean guess was nearly six places out.

    However, it's time for the results:


    In a position of great honour comes Le Tissier's Laces who takes the wooden spoon with a total error of 82 places.

    In joint third place, with a total error of 52 places come Garysfc and Hotbovril.

    In joint first place with an error of 50 places are Fran and... er... me.

    So it goes to a tie break, which is how far out we were on the top ten.

    And, can you feel the tension?

    Fran's top ten error is 30 places.

    My top ten error is...































    29 places.

    So, as the returning officer for the annual finishing positions competition, I am proud to present myself with a bottle of gin. Wonderful effort.

    Cue the accusations.

    In the spirit of things, I might also reward myself with some gin. For not appearing in the bottom three, or because it's warm, or something. Congrats on your scandalous victory vin, you irredeemable self-dealing gin-cheater!
