eunmac Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Not trying to tempt fate but thought I'd post a quick side by side (based on league position) vs WBA's famous escape in 2005. LCFC = BLUE DOTSWBA = RED You can view the final table from that 2005 here: http://www.statto.com/football/teams/west-bromwich-albion/2004-2005/table The actual points tallys are quite similar although Leicesters gap to 17th place was generally more.
NewquayFox Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Bryan Robson was a hero after the last days victory, could be done and i hope we do it.....
SamL Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 If we're looking for similarities, Chelsea also won the title that season and appear on course to repeat the same feat this year.
Spudulike Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Wasn't Pearson on the WBA coaching staff that season ??
cc_star Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 So we were bottom for 6 games longer than West Brom, with the upturn in results coming 4 games later, while our gap to 17th was generally more? If West Brom's was called the Great Escape, I don't think there's words in the English language for how herculean our achievement would be, IF we could pull it off
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 let's have this gloating thread when we've actually stayed up yeah lads? NP was warning about people thinking the job was already done, we are still in the bottom 3 by the way.
Xen Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Would be interesting to see the points difference between the team in 17th in each gameweek and wba/lcfc respectively, to see just how far off safety each team was at any one point... Perhaps as a ppg as well... I'd do it myself but I don't have my laptop arm :-/

Why was it displaying a table in the editor but not in the post?

Stevosevic Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Difference being they actually got out of it, we've not even got out of the relegation zone.
Fox Ulike Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 So we were bottom for 6 games longer than West Brom, with the upturn in results coming 4 games later, while our gap to 17th was generally more? If West Brom's was called the Great Escape, I don't think there's words in the English language for how herculean our achievement would be, IF we could pull it off The greatest escape.
RedSoxUK Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Feel bad for Norwich there, won 3 and drew 1 of their last 6 games, then getting dicked 6 - 0 by Fulham.
Manwell Pablo Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 let's have this gloating thread when we've actually stayed up yeah lads? NP was warning about people thinking the job was already done, we are still in the bottom 3 by the way. About to say, can we do this when we've actually stayed up
Fox Ulike Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 About to say, can we do this when we've actually stayed up * If
Dan Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 West Brom in fairness went into the last game bottom. To stay up from there is miraculous.
promised land Posted 22 April 2015 Posted 22 April 2015 Some final day that was,3 out of 4 going down.
