Wasn't sure where to post this but this seems as good a place as any.

Are Liverpool going to set a new points record for the English top division?

I’ve used FiveThirtyEight’s data to figure out what the chances are.

Roughly a one in three chance that we get 101-or-more. It’s like Bullseye…

A one in 10 shot that we exactly equal the record, and 75% chance of setting a new club record of 98-or-more (though that won’t feel particularly significant to be honest).

The thing I like most though is that the most likely individual sequence of results from the 243 possible combinations is win-win-win-win-win!

Excellent, that, Andy, but may I remind you and everyone else here of the law of mockers...we prefer talk such as:

97 points? We'll never do that again
Probably not win again this year
Etc etc

Haha, well it's more likely that we won't do it than we will, so there we are. Not going to happen!

Think your graph is wrong mate, united should be rocketing upwards with their recent run of results.

Blimey...

Now I see it, they’ve had a really easy run,,,

Only 1 frikken other team can even get more than 80pts!!!!!!

Wow.

farawayred · « **Reply #1499 on:** July 10, 2020, 12:28:02 am »

We would have been champions without playing after the break!

Wow!

Prof · « **Reply #1500 on:** July 10, 2020, 09:02:46 am »

Even if we had to go into administration, we'd be champions

Yep, as it stands the 2-1 win over Bournemouth confirmed us as champions, we just didn't know it at the time...

Just wanted to say a huge thanks again to Prof for this brilliant thread, which has been great to follow every season - especially this one.

Also some great contributions this season from other posters, and I will never tire of seeing how good we are in every possible type of graph, table or chart available.

Sorry lads, I've not been doing the mockers. I hold myself personally responsible for the last two games.

I think as much as the players tell themselves they want to keep pushing and getting results their bodies have absolutely gone on holiday. And you can't really blame them. But in hindsight he probably should have played the kids.

Recent results save this and the results comparison thread next season

Had we got 105+ points we’d have always been behind next year

Least now we have results we can improve on!

Prof · « **Reply #1516 on:** July 15, 2020, 10:22:22 pm »

That's the post-Burnley round update I was a bit slow with.

We're just luring them all into a false sense of security for next season.

Only a slight blip today!

I’d love us to go back to back 97 points

The red in Spurs and Arsenal away rows is grim for them. Not that the home rows are that much better.

So you should apologise you disgrace.
