The greatest turnaround in football history?

[Fez of Mahrez]

Each Premier League team has now played a full season's worth of games since 22nd November 2014.

 

If you split these into two halves (the first 19 games played between 22nd November 2014 and 22nd March 2015, then the second 19 played between 4th April 2015 and last weekend, moving our re-arranged game with Chelsea back into the first half as this is the only game to make it uneven), you get the following two tables:

 

First half

 

Manchester United 43

Arsenal 43

Chelsea 41

Manchester City 40

Liverpool 40

Tottenham 39

Southampton 28

Crystal Palace 27

Stoke 27

Swansea 25

West Ham 24

Everton 20

WBA 20

Newcastle 19

Aston Villa 17

Sunderland 14

Leicester 10

 

Second half

 

Leicester 41

Manchester City 40

Arsenal 37

Manchester United 31

Chelsea 28

Tottenham 28

Crystal Palace 27

Swansea 26

Everton 26

West Ham 25

WBA 25

Stoke 24

Liverpool 22

Southampton 21

Sunderland 18

Aston Villa 14

Newcastle 10

Wowsers. Herculean.

In that 2nd set of games we haven't played either Manchester club, Liverpool, or Everton, so whilst in terms of games played its a season is it a true reflection of a whol season.

That's not to say our turnaround hasn't been great, I just think that's slightly skewed.

That's true, although we only lost half of our games against those teams last season anyway.

[RonnieTodger]

It's incredible, but we won't be the only team when you can manipulate the stats. 

[Finnegan]

That's true, although we only lost half of our games against those teams last season anyway.

Yeah easy to forget that before out awful run we took five points off Everton, Arsenal and United and ran Chelsea close at the bridge.

[AKCJ]

Saw somewhere that if you count the last 19 games where we've earnt 41 points, extrapolate that to a season and we'd get 82 points.

 

Which would have been enough to finish 2nd last season.

 

 

Fully aware that this isn't in any way accurate it's just neat.

I think we don't need to worry ourselves with 'false' tables and favourably skewed statistics.

 

What we do know is that we're: P19 W12 D5 L2 since the end of the 'bad run'

 

That was coming from the previous 'bad run' of: P24 W2 D5 L17. 

 

We went from rock bottom, losing games week in week out and to not only miraculously winning almost every match but also to battering teams and getting clean sheets. It's definitely one of the most remarkable turnarounds. Definitely in terms of the disparity between how bad we were doing to how well we're doing now. 

 

The question is, at what point does this stop being a 'good run' and start just being the way LCFC plays?

Leicester City top-6 = the new normal impho

[Guest ttfn]

Our last 20 games have yielded 45 points, which is title winning form.

This is not a 5 or even 10 game streak, but over half a season when we have shown title-winning form. This is a side which was bottom of the league before that. It's easy to just take it for granted as we go game-to-game but when you step back from it it's absolutely staggering, like nothing else I've ever seen.

How many sides outside of the top 6 have taken 45 points from 20 games in the last 20 years? We're in the (hopefully) middle of an absolutely unprecedented run of form.

[gerrytaggart]

Sunderland and Villa very consistant.

Consistantly shit. Amirightlads??
