Teams That Can't Catch Us 16/17

[Motogull]

It doesn't seem that long ago that Rowett left Brum. What a shower of shit that call was.

 

[GT49er]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Believe! Look at the table; do your sums. It's a STAT after all..............

In that case, so you think you could write them in an orange font to reflect this and satisfy my OCD?

I'm sure if Gary was still in charge of the Brum then they would still be pushing for playoffs, shows how important good owners are who can see the sense of sticking with good managers!

QPR have to face Villa, so one of them will finish below us.

Now that we're past the 'can't be relegated' stage there's not much to see until the 7th placed team can't catch us. The way we're going this should be early April.

 

[sparkie]

At least 3 more of them this weekend...

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

Guaranteed to finish in the top half now

 

[Insel affe]

The guarantee of promotion at this point in the day is 8 wins and that includes our healthy goal difference so actually 8 wins and a draw from 9.

 

[GT49er]

QPR, Villa and Ipswich already!

 

[sparkie]

Target down to 28 points.

Target now 25 more points.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Amazing Villa are added to that list with a victory on Friday!

For the first time since we were founded as a club

Nonsense! It's all about [MENTION=12595]Acker79[/MENTION]'s table progressively turning a lovely shade of red

Is there a list somewhere of teams we have never finished above? I'm sure there is!

Off-hand, I can think only of: Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs (maybe?). Are these right? - I'm only going on living/recent memory. Anyone else?

Was thinking maybe Everton, but we finished 3 places above them in Division 1 season 79/80 They were 19th, we were 16th (and one place above Man City!). Looking at the table from that season, only 11 of the 22 teams are still in the top tier now.

Yep, you're right, just them. In fact, although we've never finished above Spurs in the league proper, we did finish above them when we were both in the Southern League

Didn't we beat them in the Charity Shield in 1910? That counts.

 

[Bodian]

Next year then!

City came down with us as well in 1983. Then came back up a few years, with Oxford United! Football's bizarre really.
