The CPWP Predictability Index has been on a pretty good run since starting it up about 3 weeks ago; so if things go well I'd expect about five/six out of eight games being spot on after this weekends games. For now here's what I offered last week followed by the outcome: Aston Villa v Stoke... Continue Reading →
Tough Time for the Toffies
I didn't watch the entire game against West Bromwich Albion today but I did get to see the critical part - the build up to Mirallas missing the Penalty Kick. I'm not sure what a good definition of a teammate is but I'm pretty sure what he showed, in that game, is what a good... Continue Reading →
Chelsea sits atop… Saints continue to March…
For most, the stunning team this year continues to be Southampton - worthy view as the Saints continue to march towards Europe. I'm not on their bandwagon yet as nearly half the season remains - but if they keep up their team performances, as they have the first 21 games, it is likely they squeeze... Continue Reading →
Chelsea and Man City Lead the Pack
The headline is Capt. Obvious; especially when the League Table sees both these teams beginning to separate themselves from the others. The question for most is who qualifies for Europe in positions three and four while Man City and Chelsea go toe-to-toe for the League Championship. Too early you say? Not for me. By Week...

UEFA Champions League – Some great games coming!!!
The greatest professional team soccer competition continues... But before digging into the Possession with Purpose Family of Indices some general news for consideration. As the PWP Indices have shown such a strong correlation/relationship to the league tables without using points earned, in ALL competitions measured, I want to try a create a quantifiable way to...

That's not to say I'll ignore the League Table - in summary here's the top six and the bottom six respectively: Chelsea,... Continue Reading →
UEFA Champions League – Bundesliga Throws down the Guantlet
FC Bayern Munchen and Borussia Dortmund take a big leap in working towards the knockout stages as each sit on six points, along with Real Madrid. Others falling in line for a push into the knockout stages include Roma, Chelsea, Monaco, Paris Saint Germain (stunner that was), Zenit St. Petersburg and FC Porto. In seeing... Continue Reading →
English Premier League – Top Totties – Week 5 in Review
For most Manchester United, AGAIN, probably made most of the Headlines - and AGAIN - I'll blow them off in my weekly update - kinda like Leicester City did! Imagine dropping four goals in the second half against Leicester City - can you Adam and Eve it??? What on earth is going on at Man United?... Continue Reading →
English Premier League – Week 4 – Relegation battle begins…
I've no doubt many of the headlines on the English Premier League this week dig into Manchester United's convincing win over Crystal Palace... That's probably appropriate for most but I, often times, like to write about the un-obvious. So even though Angel Di Maria looked great - I'd offer he was a stud playing amongst English school...

La Liga – Week 2 – Who’s going to keep up with Barcelona?
Even when it's early days there are just some things that already make themselves clear - Barcelona are the team to beat in La Liga. I'm sure FC Bayern would like that simplicity in the Bundesliga but not so... How many pretenders are contenders in the English Premier League is also another story... but Chelsea...
