Tabling Tables
By: timmyg | November 2nd, 2009Rich over at CCN has been having some fun with tables from days gone by to prove points about Phil Brown and Fulham’s salvation.
Although we’re not yet at third-way, Roy often says it takes 10 matches to see where a club is going. Although I agree with him on premise, there are some notable exceptions. Lets also have fun with tables, no?
Lets begin with my maiden season, 2006-07:
Liverpool, erm, Rafa has been getting plenty of guff recently for bungling the title away again, but three seasons ago they were already 11 points off the pace. And Bolton and Portsmouth were both 3-4. Us? Well we were in the top half of the table at 9th despite a -3 GD.
In 2007-08, things were starting to go downhill in a hurry for us. Let’s take a peak:
Sven’s City and Hughes’ Blackburn were punching above their weight while Tottenham were on their second (of three) straight poor start to the season.
What’s the point to all this? Well, besides the exceptions I pointed out most other clubs finished about where they are listed above. So Roy is completely correct in his assertion. Yet again it proves we have a manager who knows what he’s doing. But more importantly, who knows what he’s saying and is correct. All the hoopla with Rafa has brought the (seemingly) obvious difference home.
The question remaining though is that who of the following clubs will rise, drop, or stay put this season?

This is where my friend goal difference comes in!
West Ham and Portsmouth up, Burnley down, liverpool up, Wigan I think are better than GD says but may be wrong.

Dunno about West Ham. Their record and GD look eerily similar to ours in 2007-08.
And with all the finance issues plaguing several teams, I wonder if this will be the first EPL season where clubs go down not over merit (or lack thereof) but because they went broke.
