Title: Villa in 5th place overall
Post by: PeterWithesShin on May 23, 2012, 07:06:52 PM: Here is the league table for the 20 years since football was invented. We'll probably be down to 6th after next season. We do however top the league in draws.

Just about sums up Sky TV doesn't it?

Post by: montague on May 23, 2012, 09:29:18 PM: How dare we think we should be a top 6 club!!

Goalscoring has been our problem for most of the EPL era.

Our goal difference is pretty dire.

Better than Evertons.

With John Gregory and Alex McLeish as your manager for about 4 seasons, anyones GD would take a battering.

Post by: Vegas on May 23, 2012, 09:30:27 PM: Interesting that our ranking Since Football Began is the same as our ranking since football actually began. I would have thought with our history we'd be higher in the genuine all time table.

Also I would be interested to see where we would have been in the Doug era compared to the Randy era in the post 92 table.
