    I've done similar in Italy once. Catching a train to Florence and ending up in the opposite direction being Pisa.

    In my defence it was a one track station I got on at and the train was perfect timing for the one to Florence but turned out to be the Pisa train which was running 10 minutes or so late.

    Nice touch of pedantry if I can say so myself.

    Apparently based on goals for and against and our points per game average, we should have been relegated this season. We were the 2nd worst this season.

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    You finished 10 points off the relegation places.

    it's just some weird stat that shows how **** we've been , but someone raped enough teams.

    dubravka was the reason those stats were overcome

    What he actually posted was nonsensical and demonstrably incorrect....see the actual league table for details.

    It's known as the xg process, based on averages.

    Goals for - 1.07
    Goals against - 1.85

    Puts us at around 35 points.

    I saw the report.. don't think you explained it well.. the thing is everyone already knows we've been utterly crap, but there's a reason we stayed up and it's Dubravka. Dubravka is the mystery behind the misconception that the football's been good or better.

    Only you actually posted this;

    Apparently based on goals for and against and our points per game average, we should have been relegated this season. We were the 2nd worst this season.

    Anyway, XG is utterly meaningless and just catnip for nerds and armchairs.

    Fact of the matter is we won 4 games in the 2nd half of the season. That's relegation form.

    We very nearly lost to both Rochdale and Oxford in our Cup run. Would the press be so favourable to Bruce if that had happened.

    The fact is we stayed up.. Good goalkeeping counts towards performances.

    I know it's hard but he's moved on and you've to let go son...
