They are amazing, I agree.

 

But they're also a bit a Spursy. Like when Spurs fans recall the stat they picked up more PL points than any other team over a three year period - but that did not result in any PL titles.

 

It's great to be top 4, but ultimately it's about where you finish after 38 games.

 

You can't really roll out the top 4 stat above if we finish outside the top 4 again this season. 

I think you're comparing apples and oranges here to an extent.

Spurs have been part of the "big six" or "rich six" for some time and therefore should be pushing right at the top end.

We're a smaller club and more of a "work in progress" if you like.

If we finish fifth or sixth (for example) it's still not a dreadful season and shows us being a regular competitor at the right end.

The stats indicate how well we've moved forward.

I'm just grateful to be enjoying the best spell in our history - and that's very different to Spurs.

agreed, its ok for us to be spursy (as long as we stay in the top six and at times qualify for CL)  because we aren't one of the big six - them being spursy is because despite them being in that group, they never win anything !

Punching above your weight so consistently that people start to question if you're in the right category isn't spursy though?

Exactly, Spursy is falling short of what you should be achieving and doing so in somewhat dramatic fashion. Like when they finished 3rd when we won the title and arsenal got above them. That is Spursy. We aren’t doing a Spursy even if we drop out the top four because no one really believed we would be there in the first place. Doing a Spursy would be dropping to like 8/9th for us IMO.

We were 26 points down on our title winning season. 47 points to 21.

Just shows how useless stats are more than anything. It just shows how good Liverpool were last season more than anything else. I mean we were defending champions sat on 21 points at this stage of the season Liverpool have almost double that on 40. You can't say in all sincerity that they are worse defending champions that we were. (or Chelsea for that matter)

Oh yeah the stat is bollocks, but you can use stats to say anything. It doesnt take into account Liverpool ridiculously high total at this stage last year and our relatively low total at the same stage in 2016.

We were terrible champions, we had fallen into what everyone believed would happen back to being relegation fodder. Thankfully things turned around, and we are starting to prove people wrong by continuing to fight at the top end of the table.

If all the final points totals are tallied up for the years since Leicester returned to the Premier League in 2014, they rank seventh (behind 'the big six') with an average of 55 points.

 

As The Athletic showed in September, Leicester’s social media following across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram was the seventh highest in the Premier League, at just over 12.5 million.

Is there a copy of that table? How far behind 6th are we?

Everton are SO boringly consistent.  They've threatened each end of the table, what, once in the last 20 years?

 

The kiddie coaster of football clubs.  Wheeeeeeey!

Reminds me of Ipswich for much of the past 20 years. Mid table obscurity. It must be so boring.
