BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Good pre-season results for City are followed by a poor league season.And conversely, poor pre-season results are followed by a good league season.Anybody have the data to test this hypothesis?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CiderkiddCanary 0 Posted July 19, 2008 I should imagine one of the those websites that keep the past data on results might have them. Try googling it [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 19, 2008 Well at least you''re asking for evidence of your assumption for a change... you''re learning, Bly... with that kind of attitude, you could go to Uni.... [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 19, 2008 Oh, and in sensible response (mustn''t forget to do that from time to time), I don''t currently have any data as the official site only includes league and cup results/fixtures. Hopefully someone else will find the necessary data... I don''t really have an idea one way or another, I rarely pay attention to friendlies and couldn''t really tell you any results over the last few pre-season, they mean very little in my eyes.

I seem to remember us having some terrible pre season results during our Prem years which were followed by good seasons.Don''t know if it''s true anymore though.

ncfc90 0 Posted July 19, 2008 well we lost to WHU last pre season and had a shit season lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 19, 2008 I think this is reading into things too much, if this was anywhere near true we would only play rubbish teams pre-season!We nearly always have a premiership team which we duely loose to - I can''t remember the headlining pre-season game where we won?!!! But then I wouldn''t say we have done that poorly up until last season and actually against Wet Sham it was the unlikely who I thought performed. Chris Brown really rocked in that game and scored from a left footed cross by Croft right in front of me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
