Burnley to finish 14th says SAM

Some supercomputer called SAM at the University of Salford (me neither) has predicted that we will finish 14th with Sunderland, Swansea and Hull being relegated. It's on the BBC sport website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38524102" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and it gives readers the chance to make their own predictions. I put in my predictions for all 20 clubs and - naturally - placed Burnley as Champions and submitted it.
Maybe all UTC readers should go on there and do the same to upset the BBC who are confidently expecting, thanks to the genius of SAM, for Chelsea to be champions at the end of the season (no sheet Sherlock!)

Would be absolutely buzzing if that happened!! Am I right in thinking we would get circa. 7 million bonus if that were to be true?
Would be a deposit on a top end Championship striker if true.... ;)
Probably a load of nonsense though!!!

Can't see Southampton finishing on 50pts, they're in free fall

14th seemed to be our most frequent position in the late 1960s when I started going on.

I'm sure there is no one (with maybe one or two exceptions) who posts on this board who wouldn't be delighted with 14th at the end of this season.

I should have added that I would be utterly delighted if things turn out this way...and I think the will too.

Too bad we don't have betting shops in Canada. I'd put a fiver on that.

I'm not fussed about the position. 42 pts would be a really good target to reach though
