Oztoffee Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) God, I'm bored with all this ... 'what does the future hold with Mikel gone?'...'will Moyse walk?' stuff. Thought I'd pan out a few figures to see how we have fared over the past 10 years compared to the whole of the Prem since it started. Prem stats say that for the whole period we are 7th of the 7 teams that have been in since the start. We follow: Man. Utd Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Villa Spurs We have the 7th best 'goals for', 6th best 'goals against' (after Spurs) and 7th 'goal difference'. For the past 10 seasons, given 20pts for first, down to 1 for 20th place the placings are as follows: Man Utd - 210pts Chelsea - 186 Arsenal - 182 Liverpool - 169 Spurs - 130 Everton - 125 Villa - 116 Newcastle - 101 Blackburn -100 Man City - 99 Bolton - 91 Fulham -89 Those are the teams that were in the Prem last season. Of the rest, Middlesborough were next at 69pts, West Ham - 63pts then it goes rapidly down to Charlton - 50pts Birmingham - 48 etc. etc. 'What does all this mean?' I hear you ask. It means essentially that (i) longevity in the Prem is absolutely vital and (ii) compared to the previous 10 seasons we are going great! The previous 10 seasons netted us a total of 68pts! We got 125pts in the next 10 seasons, 6th overall! Make of this what you will....at least it prevented me from having a total malfunction of the cerebral cortex:) But please....no more whingeing!!!!

MTK Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 It means we have a great past Premiership record. Unfortunately it means sod all for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsy Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 It means we have a great past Premiership record. Unfortunately it means sod all for the future You could say that, but then if you looked at man utd's statistics over the last 10 years, would you still say the same about them, great record but means nothing for the future??!!

Utd's past record doesn't mean much for the future. However, in the present, they are a massive cash generating monster with the most successful manager in the country & a great squad of players - even the Glazers stealing £500m of their cash flow hasn't slowed them down. This is why they'll be successful in the future, not their past record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 it says we are pretty much average. or if we want to be positive it says "we are premier league, say we are premier league" in a just promoted/happy just to be here kind of attitude.
