So here we are, on the brink of 2010 and at the half-way point of the 2009-10 football season!

The scores in the Premiership Position Predictor 2009-10 at this point are:

1st – Karl (0.890)
2nd -  Steve (0.845)
3rd – Colin (0.836)
4th – Tom (0.830)
5th – Carmine (0.794)
6th – Laura (0.770)
7th – Gay (0.746)
8th – Alex (0.741)
9th – Murph (0.723)
10th – Hannah (0.281)
11th – Louise (0.089)
12th – Mark (0.045)

So (nearly) all very close and with much to play for…especially as tomorrow sees the start of “Swap January”!

“Swap January”? It’s all very simple.

Take a look at the Premiership Position Predictor 09-10 Rolling Score Chart and look for teams you misjudged. You might have been caught out by Tottenham & Birmingham’s great positions or by Liverpool & West Ham’s struggles – now’s your chance to put it right.

You have until January 31st to e-mail me or leave a comment below stating which two team positions you’d like to swap. I’ll then swap them and the new prediction will stand until the end of the season. You can only swap 2 teams and once you’ve swapped you can’t swap back!

To clarify, if you originally predicted that Portsmouth would finish mid-table, say 11th, and Sunderland would end up in 19th place you can swap them and your new prediction will be for Sunderland to finish 11th and Portsmouth 20th. All other positions will stay the same.

You may think it’s not much but Murph won last time largely because of a clever swap in January – it can make all the difference.

Take your time (I swapped on January 3rd last time and regretted it!) as you’ve got until the 31st January, and good luck in “Swap January”!

PS: Any questions about “Swap January” – just ask!
