Gav have a look at

I've pasted the league table below but the formatting is probably naff.

There's some amazing stuff on these pages if you're a Statto!

Ah, its a lot worse than I thought.

You'll have to look on football365.

Basically we've won 5 drawn 1 and lost 6 when the opposition scored first

Wow is that all....I figured it was much more! :))

Cheers....

Also interesting on that is that both Southampton and Bolton fair very badly indeed when the opposition scores first....so we know what we've got to do in these two games don't we :))

Another (sad?) statistic, just look how many home games we have got left compared to our rivals. Having said that our away form is better than our home ;-)

Off the top of me head, I know we've got two more homes and one less away that Manure.

Is the 1 draw the Sunderland home game or Chelsea away?

hmm you're saying the stats are a pile of shite then? :))

An interesting stat that shows how well we play in the second half, and come from behind to win is the spread of our goals.

1st half: scored 14, conceded 18 2nd half: scored 31, conceded 12
