Being so high with negative goal difference shows how bad the bad seasons were
 
Points per game we are about 52nd just based on a quick go on a spreadsheet
 
Wait, so only Barnsley and Leicester (who, if we do survive, we'll overtake next season) have played more championship games than us?
 
The ones that surprised me were Barnsley and Bury; I don't think of them as one of life's natural second division teams.

Also a bit surprised at Grimsby. A long run either side of the war must have got them where they are.

The rest? Yep fair enough. We've probably played each of them a million times in Div 2 over the years.

Barnsley is the side City has played the most times since 1904.

To me it seems like Barnsley have been constantly bouncing between the top of League 1 and the bottom of the championship my entire life. Weird that they're so good at getting promoted yet can never get above 21st when they do.

It started to annoy me why I don't think of them as a 2nd tier side when they obviously are.

They've basically always been in whatever the second tier has been called (with the odd relegation and immediate promotion), except for the 60s and 70s.

That was when I was most football obsessed and cared about such things. During those formative years they never played in the old second division and consequently didn't play us much as we spent most of those years in the second division.

Syd "Skinner" Normanton - there was a tough one.
Michael Parkinson never stopped talking about him.
No chance Vinny Jones or Graeme Souness !
