A very interesting read HB. Thanks and well done for compiling.

Over the first few matches of the season it looked as if we were the ones who were getting the late goals and points, but it didn’t take long for us to fall back to oh so familiar bad habits.

Personally I view Everton away as the real nadir of the season, the one moment out of many where things really started to nosedive.

I believe we’ve had more first-half goals in our matches than any other side this season, and I could be wrong but I think we’ve had more in the last 15 minutes too than anybody else.

Points are points of course against everybody, but this season has also been characterised by our failings against the lower sides, whereas the last two seasons we generally achieved our staying up by beating teams near the bottom. This year we’ve taken just one point and failed to score against Stoke, ditto Brighton, 0 points v Huddersfield, lost at home to Swansea, failed to beat Saints at home, lost at West Ham and got just one point from Palace. Happily at least we played Brom before Darren Moore took over and revitalised them.

Yet for the second season in a row we’ve beaten both the defending champions and defending FA cup holders and not lost at home to three sides who’ve been competing in the Champions League this season.

Funny old game.

Now is the time to combine both our recent attributes and become CHAMPIONS.

I’m calling it.

Season was epitomised by Newcastle at home plus the away games to spurs and man utd.
