Each week Kjetil Vold is keeping track of predictions regarding the English Premiership title race
These are his comments...
Final English Premiership match of the season
ALVELEY WOLVES vs BAREFOOT BARBARIANS
An easy game for Alveley at the end of the season. Spuddy is "clinging"
to a theory that IF Bears win the league and champions league, then
fifth place will qualify for Champions league. Althought Alveley could
beat Barefoot with their reserves they will probably field a decent side
just to be sure.

FIVE OAK PALACE vs MAKERFIELD
Five Oak are now unmanaged and is placed just above Makerfield on the
table. With much better goaldifference. Makerfield will have to win 9-0
to win this. Keep in mind that the predicions were made when people
thought Five Oak would be managed, cause now Makerfield has a really
good chance of winning I would say.

GUNNERS XI vs KINGSBURY
It's all in Gunners' hands now after their impressive away win to
Norwegian Vikings last week. If Gunners lose though - and Bears win -
the title will go to Bears on better goaldifference. So the pressure is
on Spuddy who HAS to deliver this week - and with a new-composed defence
it's enough to make people abit unsure wether he will make it or not.
I'd say that Gunners would win this in 3 out of 5 attempts. Gunners HAVE
lost one time at home earlier this season. Truman is in good form...
This will be very exciting, althought based on the predictions it doesnt
look too exciting...

IXWORTH IRONS vs. NORWEGIAN VIKINGS
What a poor end to the Vikings season. Rumours has it that players will
leave due the poor results the recent weeks. The team has performed well
but the results have not gone the right way. Rumours also has it that
the manager's position is up to evaluation. They will, and should, win
this game cause if other results go the right way they might climb to
5th - but realisticly they will end up 6th or 7th.

MIGHTY BEARS vs ARSENBALL
Easy game for Mighty Bears that they will win - probably by alots. It
wont help a thing if Gunners win. If Gunners lose though - Bears will be
champions. Bjornar and his men, could and should have settled this
earlier and not have to rely on other results. This is the situation
though - and it's probably very frustrating for Bjornar to not beeing
able to decide this on his own.

NORTHROAD LEGENDS vs. HARBOUR FC
Kim Tore wont be happy with his season as Northroad will end up in 14th
place. Harbour will have to settle for third place. So for both clubs
this game wont change their position on the table. I wont be surprised
if Northroad delivers a shocker here cause there is quality in the side.
They have just been too uneven this season.

Since it's the last week and Glorrwest, Trinity and Cohrigg have climbed
the table and now can fight for a solid placement - I'd thought I could
give some comments on their games aswell:
WEARVALLEY vs. GLORRWEST
Glorrwest may acctually climb to fifth this week. They have really found
form lately and Wearvalley shouldnt give them much trouble. Glorrwest
have an incredible defence with Masoto and Busk and they can continue
the recent run into the next season they will fight in the top. No
predictions here, but I can try to give some "odds" - the way I see it:
H: 10% D: 30% A: 60%
COHRRIG vs. TRINITY HEATH
Oohhh... I can promise you that there are a lot of managers that would
like to see the Kittens beat Trinity this week. First of all, Trinity
have really been a "pain in the ass" to all the top teams the last
months. The are acctually fifth (!) on the table now. Their climbing on
the table recently is really something we should take notice of. If it
werent for the home advantage in this game I wouldnt give mr. Light much
of a chance. What I hope for, however, is a draw in this game. This
would give the other teams on the table (Glorrwest, Alveley and Vikings)
a golden opportunity to climb. A trinity win would secure them a
spectacular fifth place.
