    Not sure if it’s 100% accurate but we’ll go with it anyway.



    I think it means we’re ‘kind of not bad at being pretty good’? Maybe. Whatever it means, it’s a lot of games at this level.

    Why arent we using this table to sort out positions if curtailment. Gives along term view of the club's position rather than a snapshot.

    but we have played over 600 games than the nearet team. Also the GD is a bit worrying too. I blame BoJo for that.

    Statistics! You only chose the ones you want to use. See that daily at the Covid press briefings.

    Top of the table with the worst goal difference in the league. I love it.

    We have points in the bag though, they still have to go and win their games!

    Exactly!

    Although I’m not sure for our PPG hopes with this table.

    So we're not punching above our weight then.

    Exactly. we have most points by playing the most games - by a million miles. But, again by a million miles, we're certainly not the most successful club :)

    Exactly my thoughts, those teams could easily “do a Portsmouth” or “do a Sunderland”!

    I think the massive shift in finances in this league means we’re no longer as competitive. Just have to look at our yo-yoing in recent years.

    Hopefully, some sort of salary cap would help even the playing field but I won’t hold my breath on that happening anytime soon.
