Bored of a Sunday Morning, so started looking back at old Premier League Tables since 1996 for comparisons - that was when the League went to a 20 team/38 game season:
Teams since 1996 with less than 20pts at home in a season:
Bolton 95-96 19pts BOTTOM
Forest 96-97 18pts BOTTOM
Palace 97-98 11pts BOTTOM
Forest 98-99 16pts BOTTOM
Watford 99-00 19pts BOTTOM
Man City 00-01 15pts 18th Relegated
Coventry 00-01 19pts 19th Relegated
Bradford 00-01 19pts BOTTOM
Derby 01-02 19pts 19th Relegated
Leicester 01-02 16pts BOTTOM
West Brom 14pts 02-03 19th Relegated
Sunderland 11pts 02-03 BOTTOM
Blackburn 19pts 03-04 15th
Leicester 19pts 03-04 18th Relegated
Sunderland 7pts 05-06 BOTTOM
Wigan 19pts 06-07 17th
Watford 18pts 06-07 BOTTOM
Derby 8pts 07-08 BOTTOM
Hull City 14pts 08-09 17th
Portsmouth 18pts 09-10 20th BOTTOM
Villa 19pts 11-12 16th
Bolton 16pts 11-12 18th Relegated
Blackburn 19pts 11-12 19th Relegated
Wolves 12pts 11-12 BOTTOM
Wigan 18pts 12-13 18th Relegated
QPR 14pts 12-13 BOTTOM
Sunderland 18pts 13-14 14th
Fulham 18pts 13-14 19th Relegated
Burnley 19pts 14-15 19th Relegated
This Season:
Everton 16pts 15-16 (3 homes left)
Palace 12pts 15-16 (2 homes left)
Sunderland 17pts 15-16 (4 home games left)
Newcastle 18pts 15-16 (4 home games left)
Villa 10pts 15-16 (2 home games left)
So from those stats:
Everton on 16pts currently stand 9th for WORST home Record in a 38 game Prem season with 3 to go.
Since 1996, 29 teams have failed to reach 20pts at home in a season. 24 were relegated, only 5 have survived.
Only 1 team since 1996 with less than 18pts at home has ever survived relegation: Hull City with 14pts in 08-09.
Thank God we've had '15 or 16 individuals that have had impressive campaigns, probably the best campaigns in their young careers in some of the cases.' Otherwise we really would be up the creek without a paddle eh!!??
