You should check out some of the stats they cobble together in the NBA. Fucking wild. Football definitely has room to get worse for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 3 hours ago, prefabtoon said: Newcastle are now the first team in top-flight history to win no more than one of their opening 20 league games of a season but then manage five victories in the next six matches. That underlines the scale of the improvement under Eddie Howe in even plainer terms. It is staggering how much Howe has given the club a facelift since coming in and they face Southampton full of confidence. Of course no one else has done that extremely specific stat before us man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 It's why that 'no team has failed to win X amount of games and stayed up' fact was daft when we were sat with more points via draws than teams who'd got fewer points than us via wins and stayed up.

Guest HTT II Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 If we stay up we will be the first team to ever do so having spent the most money in the January transfer window this season than any other club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Have to be honest, when people were saying 'no team has ever been in such a bad position and got out of it in PL history, i genuinely thought we were fucked. The turnaround needed seemed impossible. What EH, his backroom staff and the players have done is mind blowing really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Didn't we do something similar where we were the first in the champions league to lose our opening 3 and still qualify? Edited March 10, 2022 by Cf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 He absolutely deserves manager of the month. Our turn around has been absolutely insane. Maximum credit to him and the team - I didn't think he would but absolutely delighted to be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 He got a bit of criticism when he was at Bournemouth in the Premier League for still using players he had in League 1 and Championship but I think you can tell by how much he's improved our squad players how good he is at getting even higher performances out of players who maybe thought they'd already reached their ceiling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We will be the first top-flight team ever, if we stay up, to have done so under a manager who did so with a -17 point deduction outside of the top-flight for a different club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
