Predicting the Premiership

THE NOISY NEIGHBOURS ARE ABOUT TO GET LOUDER. The 2011/12 season was a good one for the blue half of Manchester. 89 points, a superior goal difference, and a frantic spell of injury time on the final day gave City fans a rare opportunity to laud it over their United rivals. And Sporting Index are predicting a repeat of that championship-winning season for Man City, albeit with a winning total of 83pts and the relative comfort of a 3pts cushion. As for the rest, Sporting Index think they'll finish the 2012/13 Premier League season a bit like this.. MAN CITY 83pts MAN UTD 80 CHELSEA 75 ARSENAL 69 TOTTENHAM 65 LIVERPOOL 65 NEWCASTLE 55 EVERTON 54 SUNDERLAND 47 FULHAM 46 STOKE 45 ASTON VILLA 45 QPR 44 WEST BROM 42 WEST HAM 40 SWANSEA 40 WIGAN 38 38 SOUTHAMPTON 37 NORWICH 37 READING 35 It was a good time to be a Man City supporter last season. Apart from the obvious the Citizens were in the top two for all 38 weeks. 14 The Carling Cup was a rare bright spot for Liverpool fans. In the League, they witnessed their lowest number of victories- just 14. 10 Forget 'Fergie time. City's prayers were answered on no fewer than 10 occasions in stoppage time. 3 Life was never dull for a Norwich supporter last term. They kept only 3 clean sheets all season. SPORTINGINDEX
