GPs Beard 0 Posted May 5, 2016 That looks like a complicated way of restating the actual league table. I assume someone gets paid for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted May 5, 2016 It will be a comfort to Man Utd fans that despite Leicesters efforts to win the league they can point to this table to prove that they were the best team this season.A presentation will take place at the end of the last game of the season where LVG will announce that UEFA has granted their application to enter the Champions League on the back of this success.

unique 435 Posted May 5, 2016 Ok, a table produced with a little tongue-in- cheek, but a table, if one was needed, that exonerates AN and lays the blame for Norwich''s predicament firmly at the feet of the players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 5, 2016 Much of it is tongue in cheek but there are a few things here that actually matter.Conceding goals in stoppage time, which to me is down to lack of fitness and/or lack of concentration. We''re the highest offenders here which is disappointing - when you''re one of the weaker teams you need to work hard and concentrate for the full 96 or however many minutes are played. Not happy with this one. I see we don''t get marked down for missing penalties, probably getting awarded just the one helps with that. They also point out that they don''t give negative marks for conceding penalties, because that is "often down to refereeing incompetence". Never were truer words said !

Nuff Said 5,129 Posted May 5, 2016 Just goes to show that stats often prove nothing. Would you rather our position in the Guardian table reflected our actual League position , or be like Sunderland, who, according to the stats, should be well clear of delegation ?

Katie Borkins 1 Posted May 5, 2016 Typical Guardian. The Daily Mail has us seventeenth, and a nice china plate of Princess Katherine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Renoir 1 Posted May 6, 2016 I''m shocked we''re not top of the table by miles for throw ins straight to the opposition. That drives me up the bloody wall! The ball is hard enough to win back and keep in this league without us messing up our throw ins.I''m really surprised WBA lead that table though. When you think of Pulis teams you think boring but efficient and well drilled. I''m surprised at how loose some of their stats are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
