Here's a nice stat.
If we beat the Nomads on Sunday we'll have 77 points, our second higest EVER total if you adjust for (a) 3pts a win and (b) 38 games, thus beating the 1950-51 league winning team:
1960-61 - 87.8 pts
1950-51 - 76.9 pts
2016-17 - 74 pts (after 33 games)
2012-13 - 72 pts
1956-57 - 70.6 pts
2015-15 - 70 pts
2009-10 - 70 pts
1984-85 - 69.7 pts
Winning our 5 remaining games would see us pass the 1960-61 season, with 89 points
Not sure how you calculated it, but if points per game then multiply by 38 then:Here's a nice stat.

Yes, but their potential points would also drop due to the 2 point loss they'd take too. The maths are there, I saw it posted on some facebook group last night and did the math and it was quite right. I can't be arsed to do the math right now, but it's there unless i am very much mistaken.If we draw we would be on 75 points. They have a game in hand so could reach 76 if they won their remaining games while we lost all of ours. They may play for a point to try and avoid the shame of it happening mathematically at our place.
3 pts a win, divided by 42, multiplied by 38...Not sure how you calculated it, but if points per game then multiply by 38 then:
66\67 - 72.4 pts
62\63 - 70.6 pts
Anyway it was a harder league back then. longer season, smaller squads, and more equal hence teams didn't kill off a league like in the PL with the huge gaps. our 1961 side actually holds the record for most wins in a top flight season with 31, and points wise I think only 1979 liverpool passed them, and their adjusted result is 88.7...
If they play 3 at the back, they'll get demolished.
Oh dear,

So 23 years of 'St Totteringham's Day' have all been your fault!!!Already feeling quite emotional about this... Started going in 94 when we were fucking shit....
What better way to close that chapter than by sealing out first finish above those pricks since the first year I supported the club.
Mate..... We've been doing that shit for years.Lol we know they will do that if it happens, that is because they are that shit that its all they have to cling on to!
