Premiership League Table

[alanclare]

Does anyone know the last time that a team in the top four of the Premiership had a negative goal difference?
We have.

[darren woolley]

No but i would take were we are now at the end of the season.

The league table never lies.

I remember when the did not publish the league tables until after the 3rd match of the season.  Now pressure is put on clubs through the media after only one game.

How many times have you heard 'worst start in 20 or 30 years' this season when the difference between drawing and losing or winning and drawing would make a massive difference to a teams position.

Had we drawn against Newcastle, we'd be......4th. So, made no difference then, except to piss everyone off.

If we had scored from the penalty and converted our early dominance into a win, it would have been crisis, what crisis.  How one result can change the perception of things.

To be fair when the result is a 6-0 vs a newly promoted team, its not hard to see why one result changes the perception of things

Everton finished the 2004/05 season in 4th place with a minus goal difference.

I remember Gregory ( who else) complaining after one game that the table was published with us as "VILLA" and given the obvious need for Alphabetical order he said it should be "Aston Villa".

"That could cost us a European place"  he moaned.

I knew that someone with time on their hands would find the answer. Well done! Up to the standards of good old Trent Poly.

weve already improved two places since MON left, and we havent even got a manager !!

[TheSandman]

I was somewhat surprised when I saw that our dire start to the season resulted in fourth. For all the talk of a crisis at VP there are still 16 clubs who have started worse. Cripes!

[Simba]

Just had a call from a whinging, petulant Blue nose.

 "How come?" he says, "That you have no bloody manager, you've lost 6-0, your forwards can't score, you sold your best player, you have signed no f..... players and you are in CRISIS and.. "

"Yes?" says I

"and, and we think we are having a good start but, but, but  you f...ers are STILL above us in the f...... league?!!!!".
