    Here is the first update for this season and unfortunately the progress has so far been limited to say the least!

    Interestingly for the comparable fixtures for last year we now have four losses in a row coming up. Hopefully history will not repeat itself!

    The current position is:
    • 6 points worse than this time last year (0 vs 6). This is 3 points worse than after the last game.
    • 4 points worse than the comparable fixtures last year (0 vs 4). This is 1 points worse than after the last game.
    • 2 points worse than the '40 point' line (0 vs 2). This is 1 points worse than after the last game.

    Cheers @Davidmsawyer

    So 20 years on we're aping 99/00? I knew there was a retro feel to things.

    Couldn't you have waited until we've picked up a few points? This might tip some people over the edge

    Correct. The risk of relegation and losing the ashes at home is just too much. Farewell cruel world.

    We had an exceptionally good start last year which effectively counteracted our end of season relegation form and served us up a mid table finishing position.

    The rot needs to be stopped quickly and whilst the performance at Everton was better, it's still a case of us not taking our chances and making mistakes at the back.

    This year we are on target for a zero points finish.

    :p

    Meisters' predictatron suggests 25 points at the end of the season.

    It also selected brown as the best colour to represent our performances.

    I've fed our initial two results and scorelines into a sophisticated, AI algorithm, which has predicted, after 38 games, we will sit on 0 points, 0 goals scored and 76 goals conceded. Have to hope that there are 3 worse teams than that, come May.

    Yes uncanny. Who's going to get the Mooney'esque season ending injury though? My money is on Welbeck, but it will probably be Sarr.

    Looking forward to our victory at Anfield though at least.

    Wow. I thought I was pessimistic. We'll get at least 27 points.

    My plan is to publish this post every Tuesday just after the pain of no points again disappears. I think this will escalate the pain on this forum.

    Is it supposed to be upsidedown? Lol.

    @Davidmsawyer thanks for the update. I only hope the team after Saturday"s game fills you with less gloom as you hesitate to not put nil again.

    Silly old HB1. Doh.
    It works ok if you turn your tablet upside down slowly, so no harm done.

    We can beat anyone at home on our day*

    Whilst preparing my points progress charts I decided to look at how we’d done against teams in different finishing positions over our last few years in The Best League In The World ™.

    As you’d expect we get more points from teams at the bottom (duh!), but there were some interesting patterns.

    1. We know don’t do well against the teams at the top. We’ve yet to take a point at home from a team finishing in the top 2 at home, or away against a team finishing in the top 4. No surprises there.

    2. Outside the top teams though, our home form is very similar. From positions 6 to 17 we tend to average the same points. Hence the name of the title of this thread. You’d think we’d do a lot better on average against the teams in places 11-17 (average 1.38 per game) than places 6-10 (average 1.8 points per game), but this isn’t the case. So when it comes to our home form apart from the very best and the very worst – we tend to get the same results

    3. Our away form is much more in line with what you would expect – with a more even spread of points in different groups.

    4. Number 13 is our unlucky number. We have yet to take a point against the team that finishes in 13th place away from home. Finally proof the 13 is an unlucky number.

    5. We always beat the bottom team when we play them at home. Good news for Brighton.

    * as long as they aren’t too good, and we don’t play them this season.

    We are bottom as such I deduce we will be beating ourselves.

    mmmm I need to find a better way to share images now. I was using tinypic but it says today it is shutting down. On the last post I used postimage but that shows a very small picture as you can tell.

    Anyone got another good option?

    Alas not as three teams will end up on at least 6 points in that situation. All we can pray for is 3 teams get kicked out of the league...

    Bit negative. I still think, even if we lose every game 2-0, we will still have enough to stay up.

    Are we going to continue to flatline today? Surely Javi got the shock pads working.

    Apart from the Newcastle & West Ham results trading places, Meisters's predication 2000 was worth the outlay as we remain on 1 point.

    Not sure we need a Y axis at all.

    • 3 points worse than the '40 point' line (1 vs 4). This is the same as after the last game
