Crazy Stat Time!

Can't remember where I saw this; may have been on this thread, but it still blows my mind:
Fun fact 1:
Leicester City have not had to play any team who were above them in the Premier League table before that match kicked off.
Fun fact 2:
For the remainder of the season, they won't have to.

 

Wow. You might get some people pointing out that we still have to play Man U and Chelsea, and it's not mathematically certain we'll be above them etc, but, still - it really is a mind-blower.

Found this on the Arsenal forum. It's outdated and I'm not sure if it's been posted before, but interesting and amusing none-the-less.

I'm glad to see you haven't had to go too far back to find a time this occurred

100% of our losses have come to teams playing in red!

66% to one team!

Not sure if it's been mentioned already but our last game win over 90 mins v the Arse still remains 32 and half years ago - November 1983's 3-0 romp at Filbert after a disastrous start to that season under Milne in top flight - who else on the score sheet but : Lineker, Lynex and Gooner 'to be' Alan Smith! A massive shame about today's game not bucking the old trend

How many times have we lost 2-1 at their place in the league in the last 20 years? In amongst the thrashings we seem to narrowly be edged out.

Interesting stat... Of the 11 players who started on Sunday for us, only 2 have played top flight football in a major European league (England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy) prior to this season.

Am I missing something. Most of our 11 played in the premier league last season.

Even if he meant before that, Albrighton, Huth, Simpson, Schmeichel had all played in the PL before joining us, Okazaki and Fuchs were in the German top flight.

My mistake guys, I heard someone say something along these lines after the game on Sunday, must have misheard!

 

Apologies!

Let us hope we keep up our form...
