Bit of a trivia thread...

Do we know which prem team got the most points in the calendar year? I assume its us?

Anything else of note? Most goals scored? fewest conceded?

Discuss...

Was on radio today. Won't spoil it with answer just yet.

Arsenal for most points I'd say, they made up ground on us between New Year and May. We've scored most goals, conceded will be someone strange like stoke.

Utd have most possession #1#1#1#1

63% of beautiful Barca-esque possession football... well maybe not.

Nope, went on a decent run last year to stay up but they weren't posting top 4 points between January and May, we'll have more than them.

Ever been in Mary D's before (or, indeed, after) a game?

Which one is you Jim?

No no no; I'm more of a cocktails and canapes type of fella. Mary D's is a good few levels below my social circle.

You took that picture at Stoke away didn't you? Still better looking than the average rag though.

Deadly, I was right :)

Although undoubtedly interesting, I find these sort of stats a bit pointless TBH. There are plenty of reasons why performances in the latter half of one season are worlds away from performances in the first half of the next. Time after time Arsenal have started the season like a train only to peter out in the new year. The rags used to say they only got going in the second half of the season although that was a bit of a myth when you analysed it properly.

The bottom line is that what counts are the stats at the end of the season in May, not the stats at the end of a calendar year.

Pretty sure the Star Wars Cantina was directly inspired after George Lucas took a detour and ended up in Mary D's

That "bloke" (?) that taps Luke on the shoulder as he's standing at the bar and says "I don't like you"; I've seen dead ringers for him in the back bar at Mary's. And no; I don't have any mirrors in my house!

Happy new year Damo, and thanks for all your hard work on here in 2015.

I bet the pens have dried up now Howie Redshirt and Old Mother Riley have hung up their whistles!
