Record Watch 21/22

[Franchise FC]

I need something to cheer me up after the Huddersfield debacle, so here goes.

The very first team to be eliminated from the 106 chase is … Arsenal

One record down, one to go

[Tony Le Mesmer]

should we start worrying about 2022/23 with Newcastle bottom of the Prem?

We may not have the points record to worry about by then

Well, my last comment hasn’t lasted that well

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Is everyone out of the running already?

Is everyone out of the running already?

No but most are well off the pace at this point, Forest Green in League Two currently have the best PPG in the Football League and would finish on 101pts at current rate.

[Franchise FC]

Fulham need 62 points from 23 games to beat 106, so dropping only 7 (they’ve dropped 21 so far)
Wigan need 61 from 25, so can still drop 14 (they’ve dropped 18 so far)
Forest Green need 62 from 26, so can still drop 18 (they’ve dropped 16 so far)

Not over by any means, but not yet anything to fret over

As tidus and franchise point out, nobody is ahead of the curve so form would have to improve over the second half of the season to get close.

From thread re Plymouth game in 1985/86 we'd all be seriously be wetting ourselves if a club had got 62 points by New Year

Not if it was us

[From Despair To Where?]

We had 66pts on New Year's Day 2006.

We picked up 40 pts in our remaining 19 fixtures. If we'd only averaged that through the whole season, we'd have still won the league by 2pts.

Out of interest is Reading’s worst league defeat the 8-1 stuffing at Burnley in 1930, if so then could this disaster be actually seen as worse than that as a) it was at home, b) it was in the league and c) the club failed at least to net a consolation in losing by seven.

Wigan were very ordinary today. Can’t see them doing it.
