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 →
Barcley’s Premier League Week 25 in Review and Week 26 Outlook
There appear to be seven teams in the real run-up to who makes Europe next year with the top four going for the major prize and the fifth team relegated, if you will, to the Europa League. I'm sure that isn't ideal for the likes of Arsenal, Southampton, Man City, Man United, Tottenham, or... Continue Reading →
The losers keep losing – Barcley’s Premier League
The bottom six teams, after Week 23, all lost this week with a combined total of 19 Goals Against and 2 Goals For... Pretty clear that defense simply wasn't a key topic of interest for those in the relegation battle. If you follow my efforts I try to stay away from Goals Scored and Goals... 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 →

Before digging in, a diagram and to put things into perspective about Southampton and their 'team' concept of... Continue Reading →
Chelsea sits atop… Saints continue to March…

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...

EPL – Charting progress after 12 Weeks
It's been a couple of weeks since I checked in with the English Premier League so here's a quick fly-by on who's leading the league in team performance, exclusive of the League Table. 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 →
Hammers hurdle forward and Villa vanquishes backwards
A tale of two teams! The last time I dug into the English Premier League (Week 6) the League Table had Chelsea 1st (16 points), Southampton (13 points), followed by Man City (11 points), then Aston Villa, Swansea City, and Arsenal all tied for fifth on (10 points). And here's how the Composite PWP Index... Continue Reading →
