How I Started Messing Around with Iran Premier League Predictions
So today I got all hyped thinking about next season’s Iran Premier League teams. Sitting at my laptop with cold coffee thinking “man, I could probably predict this stuff”. Grabbed my notebook first – the one with coffee stains on page three. Started scribbling last season’s top six teams cause hey, they usually stay strong, right? Wanted to see how messed up my guesses could get.
The Data Grab Was Pure Chaos
- Opened like 12 browser tabs hunting for last season’s stats, promotions, relegations – total nightmare finding reliable stuff
- Found this local football forum (don’t remember name) where fans argued about club finances. Honestly, half was rumors but jotted down anyway
- Tried checking some club Twitter accounts – useless! Three team pages hadn’t posted since last August
- My head almost exploded tracking down which second-division teams got promoted – one website said Team A, another said Team B
Realized I needed structure so I drew this ugly table in my notebook. Separated confirmed teams vs total question marks. Messed up twice – wrote Persepolis twice like an idiot before crossing it out. Pen smudges everywhere.
The Prediction Disaster Zone
Started actually trying to predict who’d finish where next season. Assumed Esteghlal would dominate again – then remembered hearing about possible new foreign coach drama? Scrubbed that. Looked at my messy notes about promoted teams and went “nah, they’ll all probably relegate”. Just threw them at the bottom slots. Felt lazy.
Stared at my list realizing half these teams had rumors about ownership changing or players leaving for Turkey. Couldn’t find proof anywhere so just shrugged and added question marks beside five clubs. Total cop-out. Kept moving teams up and down the list like playing musical chairs. Got so confused switched Esteghlal and Sepahan’s positions three times.
Why Final Predictions Are Mostly Guesses
- Injuries could wipe out key players tomorrow – who knows?
- New coaches love changing everything mid-season
- Promoted teams sometimes shock everyone (or crash hard)
- Political nonsense messing with schedules happens every year
Wrote down my “final” list knowing it’s probably junk. Took a photo for my blog where half the words are cut off by shadow. Posted it anyway saying “don’t bet money on this, just me killing Sunday”. Honestly just relieved the research part was over. Whole thing took four hours including staring at my washing machine spinning once. Worth it? Maybe next year I’ll just flip coins.
