The Daily Telegraph today publishes in its sports section a Premiership table which would result  on matches played in 2013. We know that our good run was before Christmas, and that recently we have done less well. It seems that we are not the worst, only nearly so:

 

 

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	For	Against	GD	Points
Aston Villa	12	4	3	5	20	20	0	15
QPR	12	3	5	4	13	16	-3	14
West Ham	12	4	2	6	13	21	-8	14
Swansea	12	3	4	5	14	18	-4	13
Wigan	11	3	4	4	15	22	-7	13
West Brom	12	3	2	7	14	18	-4	11
Norwich	12	1	7	4	7	17	-10	11
Reading	12	3	1	8	14	26	-12	10
Sunderland	12	2	3	7	13	19	-6	9
Stoke City	12	1	2	9	7	22	-15	5

 

I would comment only that every other team except Stoke has won more matches, and they with Reading are the only team to have worsened their GD more than us.                                                                                                                                                                                                 

More positively, of the teams in the bottom half of the Premiership since January, i.e. those in the table, we have to play Reading (H), Stoke (A),

Villa (H) and WBA (H). That is, on current form form of our six games four will be against these lower teams, with three of them at home. I can''t see us beating Villa, but we must be in for points against the other three. It''s all in our own hands.

I''m sure someone on here will be able to find a league table where we are actually in the bottom three...

Yep - for all those Prem teams that are geographically, furthest east from the home of the Champions elect

I think we knew as much already OP.

 

Stoke''s form is staggeringly bad, I hadn''t realised that. They must now be favourites for the drop, followed closely by Sunderland. 

 

P.S. You gave us an extra point.
