I make 973 before the season started. Shows how few we've scored over the years if Newcastle got there before us despite 2 seasons less in the PL.
977 according to this: http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/all-time-table/pl-yearsWhich is indicative of where we have struggled down the years considering we have had two full seasons more in the PL than Newcastle!!
Even TSM's team could get 27 goals, so hopefully we will get it before christmas.
