Was expecting this to be awful but it was actually quite interesting statistically....

Agreed.

Average score in my lifetime.. 1-1 seems about right.

Excellent stuff.
1-1 avg score; Tim's win record compares favourably to his predecessors; lifetime rating - 46%.

Lifetime rating of 47%, team we have beaten the most - Spurs, team we have lost to the most - Man Utd, there's a surprise. Oh and I share a birthday with Ryan Giggs which I knew already. 83% of matches in the top tier, 57% in the top ten which I guess explains why I still always think of us as a top six side and expect nothing less. My average result is 1-1 too and in the first match after I was born, we lost 2-0 away to Leicester. Interesting and an enjoyable read!

Lost 3-1 to Derby County on the day I was born. A sign of things to come.

After I was born, first match played, we beat Albion 2-0 on 19 Aug 1950 crowd 58k.

Interested to see we have had 10 Scottish managers in our history, which is a fair number considering the size of the country, compared with 17 English.

Including George Ramsay (who wasn't) and Scott Marshall, who's doubtful in the extreme.

First match after I was born was Athletic Bilbao at home 1977. Team most beaten in my lifetime - Sunderland. Team most lost to - Man United obviously.

Man United is the team most lost in any lifetime!

Gratifyingly the team Albion have lost most in my lifetime is us!
