There is something very humbling in trying to come to terms with the fact that you are a worse forecaster of Premier League results than Lawro. In fact I am becoming quite suspicious of the current standings to the extent that I believe that my predictions may have been compromised by Russian hackers. There is still a long way to go but I need to consider whether or not I will accept the results once the counting has finished.
In Week 8, Rich scored seven points, Geoff four points, and Lawro narrowed the gap at the top slightly with eight points. This week’s predictions are below and show unanimous certainty that the Hammers will be three points better off at the final whistle on Saturday..
