I can't go along with that, sounds like an accountants view of how a football season should be played out. How boring would that be?I think there are lot of cliches that get used without being challenged in footy, and that's one of them.
So much depends on when you play teams, whether you, or your opponents have "the big mo" as a mate of mine calls it.
When we played Pools they looked like they would be putting a sustained promo bid in... now they can't buy a win.
Also, injuries, suspensions, changes of managers, points deductions, bad officiating calls etc etc all go towards my theory.. the league table doesn't "lie" in that it that the numbers are there in black and white at the end of the season, but it can certainly "mislead".
F7 reckons our record last year should show that were played a 45 season game, because the 0-3 d*cking away at Orient was a game played when everyone knew we didn't have much of a prayer of getting anything from that game.
Lucky we didn't play Tranny a month ago.
