106 watch

[LUX]

I've just read through this thread and can't believe how defensive Reading fans are over what is an irrelevant and completely flawed 'record'.

First up, 'records' should only stand in the top flight. Otherwise where do you draw the line? The record should be what you produce against the top sides, bullying a load of crap may make you feel good, but will ultimately just lead to a promotion.

Secondly it's flawed because of the number of games that you play. 106 / 46 = 2.304. It's a good point per game ratio but a very quick search suggests that United and Chelsea have both won the league with 91 points. 91 / 38 = 2.395.

There is nothing to suggest that United or Chelsea would have continues their form for another 8 games but what the stat does tell us is that the higher point per game ratio in a better division is a better stat.

Reading fans can cling onto their 'record' if they so wish, but ultimately deep down they will know that it's quite irrelevant.

***FACT Manchester United have sold more duvet covers in Surrey than any other team in the world FACT******

Don't tell me you're knocking that record?

I bet the sticky bits are all on Tevez's face.

Er, our 106 points is a record for the SECOND TIER.....

No, its a Football League record.

It's a record for any of the top 4 divisions....

Isn't it just like having a World, European and British record for the 100m ? They can all be the same, or they can all be different.

[The whole year inn]

I've just read through this thread.

LOL

[Platypuss]

Another draw for Leicester.

[The 17 Bus]

as good as over now.

[RoyalChicagoFC]

Yup. Won one of their last six and drawn the rest I think it is.

Panic wit' ya next year.

[Rawlie19]

It's not over until they can't beat it. Currently they can get 108 points with 11 to play. Sure, it's a tough ask. We'll shut this thread when they next lose or draw more than 1 game.

Interestingly, this is how the Championship would look if everyone got their maximums (I know this isn't strictly possible because both us and Brum can't get max, but it's a guide):

Reading 98
Wolves 97
Cardiff 95
Brum 94
Sheff U 91
Bristol 87

This is how it would look on season form:

Wolves 85
Reading 83
Brum 80
Cardiff 77
Sheff U 74
Preston 71

And this is how it would look on recent form:

Cardiff 79
Bristol 79
Reading 78
Wolves 77
Sheff U 75
Brum 73

(I know this isn't strictly possible because both us and Brum can't get max

Nor can Brum and Wolves, Brum and Brizzol City, Us and Sheff Utd, Cardiff and Sheff Utd......

I know. I meant to add a "for instance" as I knew that but couldn't be bothered to work it out or type them all out. It was a guide.

[The 17 Bus]

a full list of possible maximums starts to be of interest as slowly teams are unable to catch us up. Last night Charlton becam the first team that cannot catch us, Yay

Thats a relief.

11/03/09: Tranmere 2-0 Leicester

Nice 'n' easy, then:

Leicester, on 78 points, have played 37 matches and have 9 remaining, from which they could claim a maximum of 27 points

78 + 27 = 105

Sleep well.

[Horsham Royal]

And Bas Savage got the assist for the 2nd Tranmere goal

[Arch]

I'll start worrying in March.

But only if it's appropriate. Wake me up March 2010.

[Jackson Corner]

:D And Bas Savage got the assist for the 2nd Tranmere goal

Ian Dowie on Sky tonight qoute "Leicester could not handle Bas Savage". Always said it was a mistake to let him go!

That's why Ian Dowie is a shit manager. He thinks things like that.

He 'won' the penalty for the first goal as well, didn't he? Decent player, didn't he nutmeg Desailly once? Bet he still dreams about that.
