teams not in the bottom 3 after 32 games who were subsequently relegated............

from this division in the 20 seasons since it went to 24 teams = 8 (including Barnsley in 2001/2)</p>

it has only happened twice in the last 10 seasons-36 pts is the most common one to go down as is 18th position which maybe should get Watford fans worrying !!!</p>

That's a profound statistic Paul.

</p>

Amazed at that.</p>

 

can i just ask (and i probably speak for most people here) how the hell do you come up with these stats?!!?

they're good to read btw.

 

It takes something amazing and out of the ordinary for us to get relegated then?

Something like your best defender and club captain being out injured for the rest of the season.....

Doh!
