How will it be a weaker base than anyone? We're 2nd in GD and 2nd in goals against. Historically teams with this goal difference have made top 4. That's the whole point of the first set of stats you posted.

But not ppg from 13 games if I understand it, which I probably don't.

No, it says 13 games right at the top. Unless I'M completely misunderstanding it, which I very well could be?
I saw that, that's what I think it means. Our ppg from 13 games is not enough historically. Ahgggh!

But yes, Joe is right (in both senses). The tweets I reposted basically are a counter argument to our excellent underlying numbers. We play like one of the 3 best teams in England. But our current raw points total/points per game and our current goal difference are lower than most top 4 finishers in the Opta era (the era in which detailed Opta data is publically available). If you want to go further back, only 2 teams since 2000 have finished in the top 4 from a similar position. The heartening thing is that one of them (2001-02 Woolwich) actually won the title.

Quite good company to be in:
And we're having one of the toughest schedules yet with Watford and Woolwich having tougher.

I'd give this a funny but for all I can make out that could be what it says
Maybe not your best work but I work odd hours so have been able to follow your work (and bans) for almost a year before signing up lol
Must be tough walking through asda and seeing a litre for 20 quid, wish I was strong enough to resist
I'm not a peasant either but after a 12/14/16 hour shift and the missus says she needs nappies/wipes/food for the 1 year old asda saves me over 20 mins of extra driving
