Was sick of hearing the stat about us being 8 points better than this point last season so I had a look at the current gameweek (week 24) table
As it stands with Burnley, West Ham (2 games in hand) and Norwich still to play we are..
5 points better off (29 this year, 24 last year)
1 place higher in the table (currently 13th, 14th last year)
1 point further away from bottom 3 (currently 6 points, 5 points last year)
3 goals worse goal difference (Currently -14, -11 last year)
Hardly the amazing difference that the media portray unless you look at the only stat which actually has no relevance when comparing
