What are the results that will 'drop off' so to speak for Spurs and City this weekend? Will a win see us jump to 77 points or simply tread water?
So.... now that everybody's calmed down after our run of poor results we can look back and see that we actually gained a point on last year over those five games (Beat Hull, Drew with Eve & Utd)It appears we're entering what is historically a tricky run of games where we don't normally do too well (4pts last year, 6pts in 11/12 and 4pts in 10/11)
Hull (H) - Two defeats and one win (3pts from the 9 available) - Replacing Wigan who were relegated
Everton (A) - Lost three years running (0/9)
Newcastle (H) - Won three years running (9/9)
Man City (A) - Lost three years running (0/9)
Man Utd (H) - Two draws and one defeat (2/9)
If we can keep up this momentum and bring in some good points over those four games then we'll be well positioned to push on with both the Manchester clubs out of the way and can look forward to a strong finish to the season.
Cheers, it's a tricky one to work out. Guess it's partly because our style over the first half of the season has been a bit soul destroying and mechanical (but still picking up 1-0 wins). We haven't had too many big performances but our standard form has been enough to edge games and the low points have been very low...The graph is quite staggering... essentially showing that for the entire season we have been doing better than last season even though it really hasn't felt like that at times.
Good work mate.
Esp when you look at the goal difference... we have to start putting teams away by scoring more if we want to compete at the business end of the seasonI'm amazed how close to Liverpool we are.

i like this comparison, so have updated through to match 25. Shows that we're not a long way off the top four over the last year. I'm amazed how close to Liverpool we are.
