Swans Premiership Points

Just a summary of where our points came from this season. It throws up one or two surprises!

6 – Fulham, West Brom

4 – Wigan, Bolton, Aston Villa, Liverpool

3 – Man City, Arsenal, Blackburn, Stoke

2 – Wolves

1 – Newcastle, Spurs, Chelsea, QPR, Sunderland

0 – Everton, Norwich, Man Utd

 

lost 4ts v wolves.
lost 1pt v arsenal....imo

 

PGF i know you are going to shout at me now, but we did not get any points against Man Utd, Norwich or Everton have i missed something here

 

"lost 4pts v wolves".

I still have nightmares over those two results.

"Unbelievable, Jeff".

 

..and 2 against Chelsea?

 

Agreed. But i think we gained 1 v Newcastle, 1 v Sunderland (think they hit the bar twice?) and 1 v wigan (late penalty save and they hit the bar)... Could also argue we gained 2 v Fulham with vorm saving another late pen that would have made it 1-1... But then id say we dropped 2 v Chelsea aswell with the late og.

Id probably say they evened themselves out throughout the course of the season and where we are now is where we belong... For now

 

MABON, I WOULDN'T SHOUT AT YOU

 

It's swings and roundabouts. For each point 'lost' we will have 'won' points elsewhere through good fortune.

 

An important stat is how many points we gained out of clean sheets, I counted I think 30 points from them

 

Lets look at this methodically ... What did the two games against Everton , Norwich , Manchester United , Newcastle , Tottenham , Chelsea , QPR ,& Sunderland have in common that we could only get a point or less from ? . And what did the rest of the teams have in common that we could get more ?

 

Total points taken from each club where they have either kept a clean sheet or when both teams have scored:

Norwich clean sheets - 7 points
Swansea clean sheets - 32 points

Norwich both scored - 40 points
Swansea both scored - 15 points


Not really to sure why this is relevant but i thought id compare both teams as we are similar in terms of size and spending etc.
Makes for an interesting reading though. Personally i feel we have the upper hand here (of course i would) because we are not constantly trying to outscore teams in order to pick up points and even if we fail to score, we are still more likely to pick up a point, whereas you always feel Norwich HAVE to score in order to get anything. Thats my take on it anyway.

 

...and it's correct.

 

What these stats show is a bit worrying because if we did not have Vorm and siggs in the side we would have been relegated...
