After38 website. Is this a wind-up?

Thu Jul 31, 2014 6:18 pm

I got talking to a mate of mine online earlier. He is an Everton fan (nobody's perfect!!). He said he follows a site called after38.com which uses a points system to predict the outcome of each league by combining data and a spreadsheet prediction machine (yawn yawn). He said it's remarkably accurate, especially after some games have been played.

I had a look but can't believe what I'm seeing (screenshot attached). Not only does this suggest we are going to finish mid-table, but it shows our season as having only 4 games as comfortable wins. This is way out IMO. :shock:

Have any of you used this site before and if so, how did you find it as a prediction resource? :?:

Of course it is. It doesn't include injuries, suspensions, the consistency of some teams in the league etc. It's more or less a randomizer

So the bookies are all wrong and this random website is correct, no chance bookmark it and we can check it's accuracy throughout the season....

What does it say for the Premier League ????

That's what I'm doing. If after 10 games we are in the same position, I'll eat my scarf! :bluescarf:

Now I get what Bluebina was on about! Simon you rascal!! It looked like icing to me anyway (just saying).

I tell you what it won't be: A bloody red one. I would find that impossible to swallow. :laughing6:

yes it might have just been icing.........but i have actually seen biscuits that shape in both swansea and cardiff colours in a bakery.........so maybe i jumped to the biscuit idea...........anyway getting back to brass tacks..will this scarf be of the woolen variety,and the normal size you see sold in club shops?

Right now Sinon, let's get this straight, what I said was a figure of speech, but if I genuinely had promised to eat a scarf, I would eat a full size one made of wool and of the blue and white variety. ;-)

However, I think we will easily prove after38 wrong within the first month. Or I'll eat my.... Oh hang on, that's what just got me into this. :bluescarf: munch munch :bluescarf: munch munch :thumbup:

........Anyway, back to the football.

I think it's a great idea to keep an eye on this site as suggested. It will prove to be a great morale booster when the predictions are blown out of the water or suddenly start to show us in a positive light. 15th? No way!!! :lol: :lol:

Derailed. Thanks. This was meant to stimulate conversation about football.

With that in mind, where do you think we will finish at the end of the season? Or is that taking the Mickey too? My prediction is top 2.

I apologise if I misinterpreted your post.

I have never thought different, I fully expect Ole to come up with the goods. He certainly shouldnt be judged on last season, we all know that he was thrown into a furnace last season. One thing he did prove is that he has the Balls to give it his best shot.

Agreed. He took on a hell of a difficult task last season. He has proved he can get business done and his links with Man U are going to prove very useful in future. :thumbup:
