EPL: Revising the Preseason Predictions (Part One)

Before the 2008-2009 Premier League campaign kicked off, Jeff Harbert and I co-wrote a set of predictions for the season.

Now that the new year is upon us, it's time to take a look at my predictions and see how they're faring.

Here's how I thought the table would look at the end of the season:

1. Arsenal
2. Man United
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool
5. Aston Villa
6. Portsmouth
7. Everton
8. Tottenham
9. Newcastle
10. West Ham
11. Sunderland
12. Blackburn
13. Man City
14. Wigan
15. Fulham
16. Boro
17. West Brom
18. Bolton
19. Hull City
20. Stoke

And here's how the table actually looks halfway through the season:

1. Liverpool
2. Chelsea
3. Man United
4. Aston Villa
5. Arsenal
6. Everton
7. Wigan
8. Hull City
9. Fulham
10. West Ham
11. Bolton
12. Portsmouth
13. Man City
14. Newcastle
15. Sunderland
16. Tottenham
17. Boro
18. Stoke
19. Blackburn
20. West Brom

At this point in the season, only Man City and West Ham occupy the exact slots I predicted them to be in at the end of the season. I was fairly close on the Chelsea, Man United and Aston Villa picks.

And I appear to have been completely off on my assessment of Hull City, Fulham, Tottenham...pretty much everybody but Stoke.
