Don't drag me into your shitehouseary.

This season there are 7 teams on less than 1 point per game.

Not sure if this signifies that they are unusually crap or that the top teams have become so dominant, there's less points to go around for the rest. 2015 and 2016 for example had a much more even spread across the league.

It's not binary - one is function of the other. The bottom teams appear more crap because the top 5.5 (let's include 0.5 Man U for the moment) beat them nearly all the time; leaves 26 fixtures to get points from.

That’s 72 points to take off every team that’s not in the “top 6”.

Finishing on 72 points in the last 5 seasons would position where?

Just shows how quickly Stoke dropped from being an established mid table side to relegation. A warning of any complacency perhaps?

It's 78 isn't it?

It is indeed. Thanks

Since 2014 finishing on 78 would put a team around 3rd:

2014 5th
2015 3rd
2016 2nd
2017 4th
2018 3rd

Where would we be positioned if we finished on 78 points?

Champions League. But rather artificial to think that any team will win all 26 games against non top 6 while losing all 12 against them. The point is really a simple one: the widening disparity of the top teams against the bottom makes the bottom teams look more crap than they might have done when the gap was narrower.

It would be naïve to assume that, of course. Just playing devils advocate.

It still means that there are plenty of points up for grabs to cement another season in the Premier league, we need to make sure that we keep evolving and not become complacent.

We took 7 points from the top 6 last season...

....and stayed up by....


......7 points.
