Excluding the top 6, Everton and Aston Villa, the mean average seems to be 4.3 seasons, the median 3 and the most common 1 (6 times). A few teams (including Blackburn, Coventry and Leeds) have been in the PL on average for 10 seasons each!
Cheers for that. So, going for something between average and median, we can look to push on for a couple of seasons, but start worrying about 2021!

Three stripes went up last season. Three to go down this.

See below. An easy ready to use "we are staying up" tracker.

In short we all know we are going to get hammered by the big teams, we therefore have to look at those as "just for fun".

Basically to stay up we need 40 points (probably less, but bare with it).

The easiest way is to beat all of the worst ten teams from last year at home and draw with them away.

If we do that we will have 40 points. I am including Newcastle and Huddersfield in the bottom 10 by the way.

If you lose all of the others you end up with the following results.

Bedwetting on NSC as we only get 9 points from our first 10 games.
Talk of Europe when we hit 23 points in mid December.
Talk of relegation gain by the end of January.
Then NSC goes crazy after we reach 38 point with five matches to go
NSC bedwets again as we take just 2 points from the final five matches, players on the beach, not trying etc etc etc etc etc.

As long as are close or ahead of this tracker, it will have been have a good season. Enjoy!!

Can we have this thread next season please.:rave::rave::bhasign::albion2::rave::clap:

In the words of the great Edwyn Collins, rip it up and start again.

Fantastic thread, and so many of the predictions were right about the highs and lows, when we thought we were world beaters and when we thought the wheels were off. I returned here a number of times for perspective. Thank you sir!

We are staying up.

What this really shows is how little we ever fell behind a steady progression through the year. And also, when we did get a bit far behind (4 points after Palace) how well we then performed when we really had to - which says huge things about Hughton and the team.
