Points Progress 19/20

Interesting that Swansea and West Brom have the same number of points as Norwich and Bournemouth currently have (albeit teams this year have a game in hand, if you know what I mean).

We've Just got to keep chipping away. That season we were 10th with 26 points after 23 games. That would leave us 15th this year

 

So we need at least a draw from the Brighton game.

 

Unfortunately now this is our 15th must win game

 

It may be depressing but an update after Sunday would be good to see.

 

It will happen! Just been really busy last few weeks with work and life.

 

I had to do an update after that...

The current position is:

• 13 points worse than this time last year (27 vs 40). This is 3 points better than after the last game.
• 6 points worse than the comparable fixtures last year (27 vs 33). This is 3 points better than after the last game.
• 2 points worse than the '40 point' line (27 vs 29). This is 2 points better than after the last game.

 

Somehow in touching distance of the 40 point line

 

Excellent work as usual Sir.

Points in top flight graph sums it up, in the danger zone. More points than relegation seasons but less than any survival season, still in the woods.

As Carlos has said, remarkably close on the 40 point line which is encouraging, sometimes looking at the numbers without the subjective emotion is better, we are close.

Hadn't paid much attention to the Derby line previously, did they really only win 1 game all season? Tough watch that after week 6 (Sept?)

 

Derby won 1, drew 8, lost 29. Ouch! You would know the true fans by the end of that season!

 

Ha yes, each of them, personally by name I would think.

 

Great work.

Matching last seasons return over the next 4 games will be tough.

 

We have to be safe before the last two games, 50/50 chance at this point.

 

Whilst its a disappointing, relegation threatened end to the season its useful to consider just where we were more than a third of the way into the season. The lack of spirit as we let the game slide at Southampton was truly awful. Would we better Derby's worst ever Premier League season was the question of the day.

Lots need to change at the club but for now its one game at a time and getting something from Newcastle to further cement 16/17 place.

 

Dear David,

I had forgotten how much anticipation and joy these updates gave to my life.....

Hoping for updates soon
It would help with my "new normal" journey

 

I missed these updates.

 

Ditto to the above

and any birthday cake updates too

 

No postings since 8th March but was on here yesterday so not a CV19 victim

 

could do with a copy of this graph with Muff & Vile max available points lines....

 

Hi all. I’ll do an updated graph. But I will not be posting on here as much as I used to due to a variety of reasons.

 

Hope all is OK...
And thank you.

 

I can do my bit in the meantime - I don't have David's statistical skills but can post what the table looked like after game 35 in previous seasons:

Here you go:

• We have never stayed up with so few points at this stage
• We have never gone down with so many points at this stage

The current position is:

• 16 points worse than this time last year (34 vs 50). This is 2 points better than after the last game.
• 13 points worse than the comparable fixtures last year (34 vs 47). This is 2 points better than after the last game.
• 3 points worse than the '40 point' line (34 vs 37). This is 2 points better than after the last game.

 

I feel very conflicted.

 

The best of times, the worst of times, as that celebrated Hammer Alan ****ens once wrote.

 

I’d completely forgotten about him: Trevor Brooking lite.

 

We can still reach the magic 40 points this season.

And if we do I'll eat my Watford beanie hat.

 

So is Schrodinger’s cat dead or alive then?

 

Schrodinger’s cat doesn't exist. Schrodinger just said there was a cat in the box and even if there was one, it belonged to the little girl who lived next door. It wasn't his cat.

 

So are we getting relegated or not?

 

Weeeeell! it depends on your belief in symbolism. Gertrude, the little girl who lived next door to Schrodinger, called her cat Mojo but it's real name was Spot. Schrodinger's house was a villa and Schrodinger didn't like the cat because he once found it in his villa ******* on one of his hammers. It was with that hammer that Schrodinger allegedly nailed down the lid of the box that he put the cat in. The man from the RSPCA arrived too late to stop the event so he gave Gertrude a muff to cheer her up because it was cold. The muff was yellow. Gertrude's top was red and black and her skirt was deep red and sky blue. She only had one piece of clothing with those colours. Oh! and the cat's urine was yellow, there was a lot of it and it smelled. Schrodinger couldn't get the smell out of his villa so he moved to Brighton - on a Tuesday.

 

We’ll I’m glad you cleared that up.

 

Wanted Villa so much to go down today, Premier league looks juicy next season with Leeds coming up.

Unlucky chaps.

 

Simply not good enough after the restart, simple as that - table of 'PL restart':
