Champions

It's actually 2.4 points

Ha yes. Doh.

 

[PhilM]

At what point are we meant to take the table seriously? I've normally given up by about now.

I'd be much happier if we kept plodding along and going under the radar, so I'm not looking too much into the table.

 

[PITA]

They're rated as highly as they are because those squads have proven themselves better than ours for the last 3 years tbf.

In the last three seasons Leicester have only finished above Everton once. Before this one Wolves have only been in the Premiership for two seasons.

It’s on

We never got higher than 4th in Roberto's season. It's places that matter, not points totals

Nonsense, If Martinez continued to get that sort of total in the years that followed we would have made top 4 most years, it’s not Martinez fault 4 other teams got over 72 points as in the history of the premier league that is rare. If we match that total this year top 4 is nailed on and it a no bigger achievement

 

[blue61]

Cant wait to see us get 0.8 points.

We just need to win a game 4/5 to nil.

Awards in this league arent given for points, they are given for places.

Moyes got 4th with 61 points and ain't nobody beaten that yet, in the Premier League era.

Tbh the math is pointing to around 68pts currently so you're probably on the money. Would say that could swing either way, with a bit of luck around 70 odd but prob 65pts factoring in injuries and some players being meh. Should still get us 4th to 6th.

It is a massive feat for even Ancelotti to try and match. Carlo must scratch his head and wonder how 72 points were achieved by Martinez's team - especially when for half the games they had 40,000 people on their backs screaming "Hoooof it!!"

 

[davek]

I would take 10th and 73 points if offered.

Moyes got a maximum of 65 points
Martinez got 72 points

I see Carlo getting in the middle of that - beating Moyes' record but falling short of Roberto's.

Getting over 72 points with a team that has Pickford in goal would be the greatest achievement of Ancelotti's career; greater than a CL win.

4th is better than 5th, 3rd is better than 4th etc etc. You could get relegated with 73, would that be better or worse than that season?

One game at a time...

Don't get beat by Man city next game then move on to the next game...

Moyes’ team

Martyn
Hibbert
Weir
Stubbs
Pistone
Kilbane
Carsley
Cahill
Osman
Gravesen
Bent


Martinez’s team

Howard
Coleman
Coleman
Baines
Jagielka
Distin
Barry
Mccarthy
Mirallas
Osman
Barkley
Lukaku

We all thought we were getting relegated after Rooney left. No way was 5th a bigger achievement than 4th that year.

4th that year was a golf shot.

You definitely couldn't.

61 points was a freak tally to get a CL spot.

And that Moyes team was a decent team - they just weren't allowed to play by Moyes.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

You definitely couldn't.

It's hypothetical. Extract the larger point. 5th places doesn't get champions league.
