And drawing games with fellow top 6 sides doesn't just earn a few extra points/show a mark of quality, it also denies them a 3 point victory.The more games you lose the fewer points you have. The team with the most points wins the league.
It’s almost as if the two, together, have some sort of correlation on our total points and position?!I think we've lost 19 games this season.
We lost 20 games combined through 2016/2017 and 2017/2018.
And we still have potentially 3 games left.
We are 3rd because we've won more games than anyone not named Man City and Liverpool. But we haven't sealed top four because we've lost more games than anyone in the top 7.
We would still be quite a way off the top of the league if we had drawn all 13 actually.I get that mate, just people have lost the plot, you could say ...
If we had not lost those 13 games we would be top of the league, we can't say that, think we deserve credit for where we are currently in a testing year for the club, we are still in charge of our own destiny at the end of the day.
Whats the fascination with the amount of games we have lost?
Winning is the name of the game, last time I looked we had won 23 in the league, that puts us 3rd in the league on wins, draws and losses are not what we should be judged on.
Granted 13 defeats isn’t great, but anything over 70pts normally puts any club in with a chance of top 4, and that’s where we are, doesn’t really matter how many WDL you have to get there.13 defeats is a poor stat for a team chasing a top four spot and allegedly a title at one point you can hope to win a title losing that amount, we have got lucky because utd and Woolwich have been off their game otherwise this would have seen us probably in 6th spot.
Did someone just say losses don’t mean anything?
