I don’t think anybody who watched Swansea in 2014-15 and then this season would think they’re a noticeably worse team now, yet they came 8th last season and look like finishing around 15th this year. If you play shit regularly, on the whole you won’t win – but 38 games is often nowhere near enough to remove those statistical anomalies. I’m more confident than ever that the League table is a terrible way of accurately ranking the genuine quality of teams.įor all the media tells us that the ‘hallmark of champions’ is playing badly and winning, this doesn’t tend to be true.
Amidst all the nonsense cliches which are peddled about football, by far the single biggest myth is that the league table ‘never lies’.
