Let's not get too carried away.

Teams that get tonked once a season very very rarely get relegated.


It's an odd stat that came up the last time Southampton had their arses handed to them.
The 7+ club don't go down.

Fingers crossed The Leeds Utd can buck the trend or back up this result with a similar one.

Hopefully Leeds will do a Sheffield United

Do really well on the first season then lose key players through injury and get relegated the next

Need Burnley to get their shit together

Not sure it's second season syndrome. Not even sure that exists statistically.

But second season for yorkshire clubs syndrome? Now that exists!

Huddersfield (didn;t they think they were special that first season up)
Sheffield United (Europe 'ere we coom)
Leeds Disunited

Love to see it.

It exists in some ways but if you survive the first PL season you also statistically have a 75% chance of surviving the second season.

However the teams ending up in the top 12 (I checked this a few years ago so may be slightly different now) in their first season up on average take 15 points less in their second season.

Match of the Day is looking a bit thin for Saturday night.

Leeds v Arsenal
Aston Villa v Burnley

BT commentator on Chelsea match has just said “absolutely no backlift on that shot”. How is that possible with a shot from outside the box that cleared the bar?
