"All Five of their league wins have been against lower placed clubs."

Did I dream the Burnley game?

Ignore

Wigan were also above us before we beat them. And Brum come to that. Apart from us v Burnley, there's only one other club in the top 10 whose wins haven't ALL been against lower placed clubs(Forest v Leicester being the exception). Blackpool v Reading is only temporary as they'll probably go back above Reading today.

Surprise surprise, it also holds true for Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Celtic. On the other hand, all of Yeovil, Barnsley and Palace's wins have come against higher placed clubs. Amazing, huh?

Given the Wigan/Brum anomalies we probably have the best record for beating higher placed clubs. Which is exactly what you'd expect of a club just above mid-table.

Or, as footychick said, ignore!

Is that all 5 of our 6 wins?
