Top 6 mini league 17/18

[Silva_Spell]

Utd's wins vs Chelsea, Arsenal and us are pretty misleading

CFC: wrongly ruled out Morata goal
AFC: played against a reserve/youth team
Us: should have been 5 at HT, was so easy even with a rotated side we took our eyes off the game thinking of LFC and ref stole 2 pens from us and failed to send off shiteater. Their 3rd was offside as well

Here’s something I found interesting that is indirectly relevant to this thread but not interesting enough to warrant a thread of its own

I’m just watching a review of the first title winning season. At the end of a January 2012, the top 6 is the same top 6 as this year. Below them, the rest of the table is as follows.

Newcastle, Stoke, Everton, Norwich, Sunderland, Villa, Swansea, Fulham, West Brom, QPR, Bolton, Blackburn, Wolves, Wigan.

Bar Everton, every single one of the teams outside the then and current top 6 has been relegated since. Newcastle are back, Wolves and either Fulham or Villa are back next season, West Brom Stoke and Swansea are only just down, and Sunderland Wigan and Blackburn have gone into freefall. Nonetheless, at some point in a six year cycle every team bar one outside the top 6 has gone down.

Seems as though if you are not in the top 6, sooner or later you will be relegated. Sobering thought for any team that is not.

Unless, maybe, you’re Everton.

Just goes to show the media do say it's always a poor league when we win it ;)

Great work over the season Chris.
