Ben Assirati’s team-by-team Premier League season review
As we come to the end of a historic league season, it is worth taking a look back at each individual team to rate their season as a whole, complete with the ups and downs. These are my personal ratings, sorry if you disagree! Leicester – 10 – The fairytale champions, and their success was not […]
Rob Cross’ PL Predictions: Week 38
Name: Oli Davis Role: Ex-Online Sport Editor In their own words: It would have been brilliant to spend a few more weeks in charge of the Online Sport section so as to cover the Chiefs’ powerful surge into a home semi-final, but I guess BT Sport’s mediocre coverage will have to suffice.

Rob Cross’ PL Predictions: Week 32
Name: Lara Hopkins Role: Exeposé Sport Print Editor In their own words: Let’s just say I’ll be sticking to rugby and avoiding football as editor, and may have used some dubioius betting sites to help with predictions.
