Breaking records/stats thread

[BlueAnorak]

My whole point is that it isn’t comparing apples with apples because one is a 42 game season and the other is a 38 game season. Converting out 3 points for a win into 2 points doesn’t address that difference it just replicates it.

How can that possibly be a like for like comparison? Wouldnt the true like for like comparison be to multiply Liverpool’s 1978 points total by 38/42? Or to multiply our points total by 42/38? A points percentage doesn’t really give a like for like comparison.

That's why they tend to use points % and win % to equalise things.
We can claim the latter by winning at Southampton.
We can't surpass Preston for the first - by losing to Utd and drawing with Hudderfield that boat sailed.

Obviously arsenal invincibles went unbeaten but I would assume 2 losses is the next best?

I think Chelsea did just one under Mourinho once, and it was against us?

I might be wrong though

Chelsea 2004/5 only lost 1 game , against us

Have a vague memory chelsea lost one, and it was against us (think Anelka penalty 1-0)

 

[johnmc]

Ah right. That was the points record we just beat.

And we draw, 0-0 at Chelsea

Invincibles got 90 points

We could get 100 and 2 trophies

 

[Blueknows]

already beat the prem wins record but a win on sunday would see us surpass spurs (60/61) record of 31 wins but that was over a 42 game season

The 04-05 Chelsea team that used to hold the points record (95) only lost once, but drew 8.

Record for winning margin on, thanks Gollum.

Yes, they used to hold the points record.

 

[NorCalBlue]

Yes, they used to hold the points record.

Not sure who beat that record.

Liverpool or United, I assume.

There’s a long list of records we’ve beaten, equalled and could beat this season. Incredible and only strengthens Pep’s case for manager of the year.

If we get to 100 points and then the winning margin as well, we've embarrassed the Premier League this season. I don't know if Scotlandised is a word but that's pretty much what we've done to this league.

And we drew against them away
Fowler missed a sitter in the final minutes

 

[Fame Monster]

Difficult to compare apples to oranges but if you compare the first 22 games of our season to the first 22 games of the Preston invincibles, we'd won 20, drawn 2, whereas they'd drawn 4 and won 18.

Is my mem playing tricks or did Mourinho say we parked the bus after one of them games?

 

[cleavers]

Done that already for me, and we've had lots go against us still.

I’ve been going through the possible permutations for the final points margin, depending on our respective results on Sunday:

16 - City lose, rags win
17 - City draw, rags win
18 - City lose, rags draw
19 - results same
20 - City draw, rags lose
21 - City win, rags draw
22 - City win, rags lose

20+ would be nice.
