Best of the Rest?

After something that was said a few days ago, I got to thinking: this has been a bizarre season with the top teams dropping more points than usual against the smaller clubs.

So I thought, what would the table look like without the top teams? Well, here's the answer (apologies for the poor formatting!).

Without the top 4:

Home Away Total

1 Tottenham 26 15 32 21 20 23 47 35 55
2 Fulham 25 15 28 17 14 17 42 29 45

10 Aston Villa 21 13 26 16 29 13 37 42 39
11 Newcastle 35 19 23 11 23 16 46 42 39
12 Blackpool 24 25 20 23 26 19 47 51 39

16 Wolverhampton 25 26 19 12 26 12 37 52 31

And without the top 6:

14 West Ham 16 17 14 18 27 12 34 44 26

Basically Fulham have suffered as the result of the erratic form of the "top clubs". We've had a conventional season whilst everyone else has been topsy turvy - considering the stats, I think we are entitled to claim we are the best of the (non-rich) rest!

Thoughts?

 

I like it, just goes to show what can happy with £££
(althought most say that £££ is the only reason we are where we are today...)

 

Thats some very well researched stats there surlyc. I'm personally delighted with the state of affairs at the club and think we're in a really strong position to push on for next season. Just a bit anxious about hearing the final fair play verdict now!

 

Thanks for producing that Surlyc.

I think those are amazing stats and really show what a good season we've had. Also, it shows what we could do if we only get a couple of wins against the top 4/6.

Finally, interesting to note who goes down in your tables. Wolves really did do very well against the top teams.
