And the numbers are in.....

- 6 teams have been bottom after 13 and survived (Everton - 94/95; Shef Wed 97/98; Soton - 98/99; Palace - 13/14, Palace - 17/18);
- BUT No teams has ever survived with just having 6 points;
- ONLY 2 teams have survived with a gap from 4th bottom of 5 or 6 points (6 - Palace - in 2013/14; 5 - Soton in 1998.98). The gap with Leeds is currently 5 with Leeds in play. Of the above teams the gap was 3, 3, 5, 2, 6, 3;

Mags need to break all kinds of records to come back from this.

Out of interest, all time Prem 4th bottom:

Average = 38.46
Max = 44.33 (actually Oldham had 49 over 42 games and deducted 1.17 ppg). Max in 20 team season is 44 - WBA in 02/03
Min = 34
Last 5 years = 37.2

Interestingly in the last 29 seasons when the gap has been 6 points after 13 games, the final 4th bottom points tally has been 36 twice (once also in the 22 club season also with pro-rata points of 38.33).

9 wins and 3 draws (or 8 wins and 6 draws or 7 wins and 9 draws ) from the remaining 24 will give them 36 points overall which would be enough to keep them up in 4 of the last 29 seasons.

Still.... good news about the chocolate oranges
 
Almost as if not everything was Steve Bruce’s fault after all

Jeez, that was quick even for them. I thought they’d give him more than three games.

I’m wondering how many points we had at this stage in the 02/03 and 05/06 seasons. They can’t have many more surely?

2002/03 - We had 13 points and ended on 1 :(
2005/06 - We had a whopping 5 and ended up with 15, adding 0.4 points per game for the rest of the season. Second worst after Derby who added 0.2 from this stage.
 
The next two games and the mags will be either back in the mix or in the crap. Look no different to under bruce but the mags have made their bed and now they have to lie in it. The locals will eventually turn on beheady 8th they always do but this time they only have themselves to blame. Deluded idiots the lot of them. Staveley will use the excuse of ashleigh and they will lap it up.
