loAf Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 Interesting reading on sky sports, good to see us above the trees, direby and brum, but wtf are chaventry doin above us?! Sky Sports News HD has taken a look at the overall table from all 20 seasons to find out. Manchester United are unsurprisingly top of the pile ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea, but would you have predicted Aston Villa to rank above Tottenham? Did you expect to see the likes of Coventry, Sheffield Wednesday and Wimbledon inside the top 20? Other interesting highlights from the table include: MOST WINS: Man Utd (500) FEWEST WINS: Swindon (5) MOST DRAWS: Aston Villa (240) FEWEST DRAWS: Barnsley (5) MOST DEFEATS: Everton (282) FEWEST DEFEATS: Swansea (15) MOST GOALS SCORED: Man Utd (1541) FEWEST GOALS SCORED: Barnsley (37) MOST GOALS CONCEDED: Tottenham (1020) FEWEST GOALS CONCEDED: Swansea (51) 20 Year Premier League table: Club P W D L F A GD PTS 1.

Ashley Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 How the **** are we below Cov?! Cant be right surely!!! They were in the top flight for 33 years or something similar. This would include around 11 premier league seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 How the **** are we below Cov?! Cant be right surely!!! Well, think about it. It depends on how long the club have been in the Premier League. For example, Swansea have conceded the fewest goals, but they've only been in one season, where as Tottenham have been in since the start and have had the opportunity to concede more goals, as they have. I believe, off the top of my head, Coventry were a founding member of the Premier League (when it started, in 1992) and were eventually relegated to the second tier, Championship, in 2001. So, this means they have been in the division more seasons than us, and therefore have gained more points and scored more goals than us, or whatever the table reads.

Corky Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 How the **** are we below Cov?! Cant be right surely!!! They had a couple of good seasons mixed in with the relegation battles. We also had two appalling seasons with few points accumulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise they'd been in the prem from the start right up until they went down. Suppose that explains it then. Wouldn't have expected the points gap to be as wide though due to our succsess under MON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voll Blau Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 Yet another irrelevant stat. Football began before 1992 people, it is an arbitrary year in a statistical context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_LCFC Posted 23 May 2012 Share Posted 23 May 2012 Yet another irrelevant stat. Football began before 1992 people, it is an arbitrary year in a statistical context. I totally agree I hate all this top premier league team / scorer etc as if football only started in 92, it is disrespecting the other 100 years plus of top flight football pre sky.

Oxfordfox83 Posted 24 May 2012 Share Posted 24 May 2012 I totally agree I hate all this top premier league team / scorer etc as if football only started in 92, it is disrespecting the other 100 years plus of top flight football pre sky. No, it's a stat based on 20 years of Premier League football. Personally, the football played in the Championship is more appealing to me, and the rubbish that goes around the Sky machine annoys me, but this table is still interesting, and documents our recent successful showings in the top flight in quite a favourable light. No more or less interesting than a similar table postwar, or pre Prem or anything else, but this is timely at a significant anniversary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
