Aston Villa earned the most points from losing positions in the Premier League this season (23).

Huzzah!

Also have the most outside the box goals.

Also have the most outside the box goals.

There was a period when it seemed that we could only score from outside the box.

[cdbearsfan]

It was still quite fun.

Top of the Other 14 Table too. The one they all want to win.

Also I believe the most fouled team. And yet, no penalties. Watkins scored more goals than Thiago excluding penalties because he alone took 9 and scored 8. We got all those fouls and no penalties? Really? What??

The officials probably knew that we'd miss them anyway and figured it was better to keep the game flowing.

We had a penalty for a bit. Then it was taken away from us. So much sadness, like all those Donald Trump assassination attempts that keep failing.

Can you pass backwards from a penalty? If so, can just do that if we get one, seeing as we always score from outside the box.

[Dave]

Good point. Get McPhee on that for next season.

QI looking at the points totals

[eamonn]

Joint most points against other top five teams. We were just a bit shit against the shit teams

[OCD]

Shame Spurs didn't match last season's total.

[Somniloquism]

I was just thinking the same thing.
