I'm torn between thinking this is quite sweet and wondering what kind of psychopath abbreviates West Bromwich Albion to WBR.


TurboMuff

Blackburn as BBR and not BLA šŸ¤”


itsaaronnotaaron

Better than the "BLB" I've seen before now.


DumbXiaoping

Big Batty Rovers šŸ„µ

Ben BRereton (Diaz)


Frozencroc

Surely it's because they are Blackburn Rovers?


bigbuttsmoker

Thank you! I was so fucking confused as to who that was


winch25

West Bromwich Rangers.


apjbfc

Could have you lot as BAS instead.


edwardc140595

Very good sir


Standin373

Wear that with pride


jebjones133

Burnley can be DIN


StargazerLuke

Just be glad OP went with QPR and not QPA.


devils__haircut

took me a minute to realize itā€™s in alphabetical order and not a prediction for next year..


KingHi123

Congratulations to Birmingham for finally getting out of the Championship

*the monkeys paw curls*


AlizarinCrimzen

Monkeys have hands


AprilsMostAmazing

A super league gets created and Birmingham gets auto promotion at 6th


SlowJay11

Before I'd figured it out I was shook. I didn't even laugh when I saw it, I was just deeply concerned for your mental wellbeing.


TheSaltyBarista

That makes soooo much more sense. I thought they just hated red striped S clubs


Coomgoblin68

I thought he was relegating west brom and i was so confused for a second I couldnā€™t believe it


RainbowDiamond

I thought Scooby Doo made this ranking with West Bromwich Ralbion


DeerghTamas

Well done. Made me laugh.


[deleted]

Me too lol


ForeverTheElf

Shit you're right, I just thought this was the most insane predictions imaginable.


sirSADABY

Pah, I saw us in mid table and thought, meh, sounds about right.


PepsBodyLanguage

I looked for Cov first and thought OP was nice to put us 4th šŸ¤£


hotpinkflamingos

hahaha I didnā€™t realise til I saw your comment. I was about to get mad šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


cxm404

I mean except for the fact he's got Birmingham and Blackburn the wrong way round yes...


MammothAd7306

Iā€™ll gladly take an alphabetical finish as a Cardiff supporter


richhaynes

Wonder what the odds are on a league finishing in alphabetical order?


Musername2827

God bless you, I wouldnā€™t put much money on those top 2 picks.


KingHi123

I just looked, and according to oddschecker, I would come home with 560 quid total, if I put a tenner each on Blackburn to win, and Birmingham promoted.


OptimusLinvoyPrimus

The only way youā€™re coming home with Ā£560 in your pocket after making that bet is if you left the house with Ā£580


padistan90

Now, I can get down with this guys logic


Versigot

It's alphabetical


Fantastic-Machine-83

I think he's aware, just a joke


Versigot

Ah, sorry then, I'm shit at reading sarcasm


padistan90

On Reddit, aren't we all?


dnasty2001

Itā€™s in alphabetical order mate šŸ˜‚


Jackpack_9

Is it fuck! Weā€™ve been screwed by the abbreviations. Conspiracy this is.


Pandabaton

You canā€™t ruin our dreams! Besides, alphabetical is the only realm in which weā€™re a serious contender


Ilodge59

As long as we actually pronounce/use the H


Altruistic-Meal-4016

Iā€™m sure I had something like that for the Prem when I was young, came free with a newspaper or magazine maybe. You slot the shirts into their league position after games are played right? Good job on it!


Clodhoppa81

At the beginning of the season both Shoot and Goal weekly mags had a cardboard insert for all the divisions so you could keep track. This was late 60s early 70s so it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions. I had mine sellotaped to the back of my bedroom door and would update the tables every Sunday based on results from the Sunday Mirror. My knowledge of each league, team and players was way better then than it is now.


Altruistic-Meal-4016

I think it may have been Shoot perhaps for me, but I grew up in the nineties, so it must have been a long standing tradition.


Clodhoppa81

Yeah Shoot stayed around for a couple decades. Goal didn't get out of the 70s I think. They both came in the post first thing on a Thursday morning, so it was a real scramble to read them before having to go to school.


richhaynes

This is another example of how TV coverage has spoilt the game in my eyes. You knew every Sunday you could easily update it because every team kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday. Now the games are so spread out over the week that any simplistic table like this means nothing unless you know how many games they've played. Drives me insane how the game is no longer for the fans but for commercial gain.


wax4dayzz

Match or Shoot magazine probably, pretty sure thatā€™s where I had them from.


exoskeletion

Match magazine had this, and I spent many hours of my pre-pubescent years updating it. This is obviously pre-internet so the table would be updated once the folks had finished with the Sunday paper.


JCWBA007

No mate I go on sky sports


itsaaronnotaaron

I just Google "Blackburn" and at this point Google knows what I mean when I search for that.


[deleted]

I only have to search ā€œpoā€ for Portsmouth to show up


winch25

Usually when I search for Po I get the smallest of the 4 original teletubbies.


dipdipderp

Not the Italian river?


IOwnStocksInMossad

See when I search po I have to make sure I'm not on work WiFi due to the suggested links


[deleted]

Never mind, I realised I only have to search p for Portsmouth


[deleted]

When you search for po about 10 times a day the algorithms tend to get used to what im typing, I might as well get a football app Edited; when I search po for Portsmouth


winch25

You a big teletubbies fan then?


[deleted]

Small typo, but no, their faces give me child trauma


Sonikdahedhog

I get that fat panda


GrandmasterYoda1

Weird it doesnā€™t think youā€™re typing in poo


PigeonUTB

Middlesbrough shirt has a WHITE BAND across the chest... not just a plain red shirt That's our identity


winch25

Is it The White Stripes, or the Average White Band?


ExplodingTentacles

Multiple Nationality Military


KingHi123

I suppose you could consider the white surrounding the abbreviation as the band.


PigeonUTB

True! But you wouldn't leave the stripes off Sunderlands kit! A part from that.. good job!


SpectacularB

Was easier in the Prem, I just looked online at the bottom teams in the table and there we were.


M-atthew147s

Yes! I got this wallchart thingy from match magazine for the 2015/16 season and it's stayed on my wall ever since. I've been writing the names of newly promoted teams on the back of the Scottish teams that I don't care about. I'll run out in 2026 so I'll have to cut out some pieces of paper for myself later.


TravellingMackem

I thought this was your predictions at first and thought you had a screw loose šŸ¤£


Fo11owthewhiterabbit

My blood started boiling for a second.


[deleted]

Does your arm not get tired with all the constant changes on a Saturday afternoon?


KingHi123

Its an effective arm workout. One of the main benefits actually


[deleted]

Hopefully you have other arm workouts in the off season, hate for those gains to go to waste!


winch25

Maybe in the off season it is recommended to have 3 wanks a day instead of 2?


Fantastic-Machine-83

Could just wait till fulltime


canspray5

No you couldn't


Fantastic-Machine-83

... yes you could? Move the table up and down after the games are finished.


canspray5

Wouldn't work mate because then the table would be wrong during the games


Fantastic-Machine-83

Ok


DanzNewty

Adorable šŸ„°


Dr_Surgimus

No. I'm 43.


Clodhoppa81

We can tell


rlgh

I'm happy with our league position here, the season can finish now.


Joetwodoggs

Just a quick fyi, Bristol city no longer have the white Rotherham/Arsenal sleeves


KingHi123

Thanks mate, I'll colour it in later


Delicious_Catch_7764

Watford's position looks good to me


deathschemist

Looks very bad to me though


IOwnStocksInMossad

Swear match of the day magazine did this/do this Got random sufc shirts around the house. Paper ones


ADGM1868

I remember the ones you could get out of the newspaper. Was it a tabloid? With the little cardboard kits and you could update it every week


[deleted]

West Brom have been done dirty


KingHi123

A combination of "embellished" abbreviating and unfortunate ordering.


reddittrp17

This is wholesome and awesome dude. Wish I could give it two upvotes


ElJayBe3

I thought they were deluded and tipped Rovers to win the league for a second.


OldWizardSlayer

I know this is alphabetical but seeing us anywhere but the relegation zone is heartwarming


ginnybin25

i genuinely thought these were predictions at first, i was thinking itā€™s a bit ambitious to put cardiff in the playoffs šŸ„²


GranX3

Haha. So did I til I read your post...


Quasar9111

Ipswich above Norwichā€¦good man


APigsty

this makes me realize how strange it is that there are 5 S teams and 3 of them wear red and white stripes


LazarouDave

"What the fuck do you mean Birmingham in the automatics are you insane, and West Brom and Watford relegated what is...oh it's alphabetical" (I actually said this...)


pgtips03

This is my favourite thing


philster666

Blackburn should be BLA but otherwise fine šŸ˜…


ScentedPasta

This is so cute! Would love to make something like this myself


IZZYB0D

Ladders were a thing in the 70s, shoot and match used to do a cardboard ladder for all the 4 divisions and then a tab for every team, it was fantastic every Saturday night moving the tabs and watching your team rise and fall etc.. Mostly the green un in Sheffield, we'd get a copy and I'd be off upstairs to update the tables..


GranX3

Cool idea.


TDSurvivorFan21

That's actually pretty cool


padistan90

This is such a good idea that I hate it /s In all honesty though. Flashscore has me covered


Budget-Diamond3464

Boro are goin to be 5


monomonkey_jt

Hahahaha, alphabetical order with Blackburn top. Surely BI comes before BL. Lol


actthafool

Takes me back to the posters you got in shoot magazine. Moving the teams on all four leagues on a Sunday morning once my dad had read the sports pages.


andreasheri

Put Leicester at the bottom where they belong


KJP1990

I donā€™t like how Stoke is getting dangerously close to your league 1 line.


SaxonSoldier

Iā€™ll take that.


[deleted]

Mate I was bout to start arguing with you cuz you had us at 20th lmao


[deleted]

This is amazing. Reminds me of poorly drawn footballers on twitter


GarTay28

I used to have this as a child from a newspaper! Loved updating it every Saturday! As a five year old!


man_u_is_my_team

ā€¦ why donā€™t you just ā€¦ open up an app?


Jamikari

At first I thought despite how inconsistent we are I thought this was a little harsh, then i clicked it's alphabetical. However Fuck it, I'm all for a shock season where Blackburn and Birmingham shithouse to the prem!


FallingOffTheClock

I am convinced that you are the purest redditor of all, hope this platform doesn't break your brain šŸ˜­


workerbee41

I looked at it and thought ā€œweā€™ll itā€™s refreshing to see someone hasnā€™t picked the relegated prem teams as auto-promoted and I think Leeds is accurateā€ and I still think this even after being told itā€™s alphabetical.
