10 year Premier League table

[Ad@m]

Out of all the teams who have been in the prem for all those 10 years, we are, with the exception of Fulham, the worst team.

Is your cup half empty by any chance?

We were very good at home for all my youth through to the mid 80s, particularly under Ron Saunders. In fact, under Saunders, Villa Park was pretty much a fortress. I grew up watching Villa being strong at home so find our home form of the past few years really galling.
 

The facts say otherwise. From getting promoted to Saunders leaving we lost by my reckoning 25 home league games in just over 6 1/2 seasons. It's a good record but it's not a fortress.

In 1976/77  that great season where we had our most exciting team, trouncing Arsenal and Liverpool 5-1 we only lost one home match in league and cups.

What's that got to do with pessimism?  The facts are all to plain to see.

The exception that proves the rule.

It's taking a table where we're 8th out of 35th and saying, yeah, well we're almost the worst if you exclude the bottom 26!!!

So we are not the worst team then!

We're one from bottom of the 9 ever presents. That just about sums up the last 10 years, am it's not a good stat.

It's taking one group of clubs from one specific period. It's a completely irrelevant stat.

Not really. Other than the O'Neill years we've been on a steady decline this last decade. That table sums it up really. It's not good.

So to sum up - if we take out all the good years, and take away all the teams who are worse than us, we're at the bottom.

So we're one of only 9 ever presents in the top flight since 2003 out of a total of 35 teams.  I'd say that is a good stat and one at least 26 other clubs are jealous of.

If you took out the 3 or so good years we'd be bottom of the ever present table and not 2nd bottom.
Now matter how you try, Dave, you'll struggle to find a positive with this topic.

Is this more of your trademark 'balance'?

Let's hope we stay one of the ever presents.

Except for the ones that have been found by myself and others, which you'll ignore because all you want to look for is the worst possible outcome in everything.
