(assuming chelsea beat villa)

Chris, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:54 (thirteen years ago)

Full top four stats for the past eleven seasons (NBS rules):

- 72 home defeats
- of which 35 were to each other
- 37 were to sides finishing outside the top four that year
- Blackburn and West Ham won 4 each
- Villa won 3
- City, Spurs, Leeds, Bolton and Liverpool each won 2
- Everton and fifteen others have won 1 each

In conclusion, Moyes' top four away record is slightly below average, but the values are so low for that to be meaningless.

Arsenal haven't actually lost since the Spurs game though, they've been on almost impeccably competent form.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 20:56 (thirteen years ago)

they are still shit though

Nice research, IK. But do those stats include some defeats inflicted on Everton the season they finished fourth?

No, I included Liverpool for that year

am of the extremely strong conviction that the relegation battle will hinge on whether paul lambert wants to save norwich, suspect that he doesn't

Arrgh, lost my post.

Everton haven't won at Liverpool since Sep '99, at Arsenal since Jan '96, at Chelsea since Nov '94, at Man Utd since Aug '92. We've won at Spurs three times in the Moyes era, at Man City four times, at Newcastle twice, not going to look up Leeds. Yeah, probably not top four at the time.

The accumulated filth of [their profligacy in front of goal] will foam up about their waists and all the [supporters of Norwich City Football Club] will look up and shout "save us!"... and I'll look down and [shrug and] whisper ["you go again."]

I think we've established that teams not at the top of the table don't tend to win away often at teams at the top of the table.

Maybe next we can show how top teams often beat the bottom teams and that will prove just as much about David Moyes' ability to manage Man Utd.

Arsenal on hot form, no doubt. They deserve fourth if they get it, im just surprised we performed tonight when we havent for months.

You only saw half the game, we were dreadful in the first half.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 8 May 2013 22:14 (thirteen years ago)

well that tallies with everything since ?january?

gotta give avb lots of love an patience until he gets a squad, but he has let things drift p badly this past several weeks without ever addressing things like marking from corners or the tracking of the full backs, let alone the forward movement and positioning of the players
