The Round Ball Game

A few years ago the Conference League was all amateur but now at least 12 of the teams have full time players. Its more like a 5th pro league.

I was about to go on another rant about the breakdown of society - think I'll save that for later!

This was a bit of fun

With my predictions Arsenal win the title by 3 points, Everton take 4th ahead of Liverpool. City finish 9th

Bolton and Newcastle get relegated, Fulham survive on goal difference.

Thinking about it maybe I have been harsh on Newcastle as it means they wouldn't pick up another point between now and the end of the season, with Bolton, Newcastle and Fulham all finishing with 29 points.

I do think City will finish 9th as well.

Those predictions now look stupid as United are 3 points clear of Arsenal and Liverpool have edged ahead of Everton.
