a) For this stat to have any relevance, you need to prove whether the team that has the best defensive record after nine games is typically the same team that finishes the season with the best defensive record.
b) Also, the defensive stat doesn't tell the whole picture. I would hazard a guess that the top two teams every season will have almost always scored the most goals out of everyone also. We certainly have not done that.
Stats are like records, there to be broken. I remember last season Stoke had the best home defensive record leading up until Xmas, and then we went and smashed three past them in the first half at the Britannia.
However, if the original post was just tongue in cheek and nothing more, then fair enough, I will add my own silly stat: the Premier League has been won by a team wearing red on 15 out of 20 occasions. Wahey!

No wonder Nicola got rid of the stripes...obviously thought they were reducing our chances. God, that man is good!
