intresting site that statto.com like

just looking through and i'm now expecting a 0-0 given that everton draw 50% away games and we draw 50% home games coupled with everton having the best away defence this season and us having the 2nd best home defence.

add to that everton are 20th when it comes to total goals scored in a game when away from home and it looks like they'll turn up and try to contain us.

could be the worst game of the season but hopefully we'll carry on from the chelsea game and flog em 5-0 :p
 
Just click the dropdown on the same link, lets you choose the year.

For last year:

1. Chelsea
2. Man Utd


Oh, and all the top 5 in the table actually finished in the top 5 as well.

Beat the top sides and you end up amongst them at the end of the season, its as simple as that. Our current record against the top sides is actually better than Chelsea's was across last season, and they ended up topping both tables.

Told you'd that it would give you as stiffy! ;)

Keep check back through the years and you'll see the champions are always in the top 2 and the top 5 all end up at least qualifying for Europe. We'd have to take a pretty big dip in form against these sides to not finish in the top 5 in this table and judging by the historical precedent, well..........guess I better get me passport found. ;)

By the same token if you get beat by the bottom sides you end up at the bottom. The worst 5 teams against teams in the bottom half finished in the bottom 5 last season. At present we could finish anywhere based on those two snippets and it also goes to show it means bugger all as yet. We play a team in the bottom half tomorrow but I have a feeling they won't be in the bottom half at the end of the season.
 
makes decent reading that. many clean sheets against them too. extend the lead tomorrow night ;)
