The Spiteful Nine

[JASR]

I think someone mentioned results of the Hateful 8/9
I thought about this, and decided to create a spreadsheet:

So what does this show...
1. Wolves were consistently crap against the hateful 8, winning only one game out of 16.

2. Generally the clubs got more PPG against the 'Others' than the rest of the hateful 8, except United, which was basically the same.
But this would generally be correct as the teams in the 8 are generally in the top half of the table. Though the differences between the PPG's for Burnley, Leicester, Newcastle and Tottenham are quite large... and possibly bear further analysis.

3. Livarpool were consistently good against the 8 and others

Conclusion:
No smoking gun on potential collusions, other than Wolves were not good against the 8

If anyone wants the spreadsheet, PM me.

Are we? Presumably it's the incumbent lot who wrote to CAS, but even if it was PIF who told them to, I would rather have someone else going after the top 6 spots and old big 4.

Frankly in 5 years I'd like to see a table thats

1) City
2) Wolves
3) Leicester
4) Newcastle

Would they not be up against a lot of FFP restrictions that we have already gotten past (and some gates which weren't slammed in our faces quickly enough to stop us)?

I do think that we need not focus on the ‘hateful 8’ or ‘nauseous 9‘ anymore, as all they were really doing was what many of us do, and acting mainly out of self interest.
The one exception to that is, of course, Liverpool FC, the only team guaranteed not to benefit, in terms of qualification for 20/21, and so the only team who signed that letter out of nothing but spite.
I really would rather have the rags win the PL next season than them, which says it all really.

[BTH]

The line in the sand between ourselves and the rags was drawn decades ago, but there's barely a playing card's width between our oldest enemy and the Scousers these days.
