Call our final position in the PL table

On February 26th I posted "6th at the very best, but the way we go from OK to crap in a single match I wont be surprised, or disappointed given how we've been, if we finish 7th or 8th."
Covered all bases there :lol:

Not really as, just a couple of weeks ago, we were looking at a possible 10th. 8th is a poor finish, but by March was the best we could have expected, if not accepted.
 
I’ve just realised we were never higher than 6th at any point this season. A true mid-table season.
 
Worlds most expensive squad ….8th with a minus goal difference
 
Joint 5th place best defensive record in the EPL, based on goals conceded.

Considering the very poor defensive midfield cover, the devastation of our back line due to injuries and the amount of shots on and off target we conceded, that’s a feckin’ miracle.

Here's out lists of worsts in the Premier League era, and where I think we'll end up

Worst points total: 58 points - think we'll end on 60 after scraping by Brighton on the final day
Worst finish in the table: 7th - we'll end up 8th for a new all-time worst
Fewest goals scored: 49 - even we can't manage this kind of ineptitude this season. We'll wind up around 55 goals scored
Most goals conceded: 57 - Arsenal and Newcastle will give us a right rogering and it'll be very close. I'm gonna call 56 goals conceded total
Fewest wins: 16 - think we'll scrape by and end up on 18 wins
Most losses: 12 - we're definitely setting a new record for most losses with at least 14
Worst goal differential: 0 - we'll end up with a negative GD for the first time ever at -1 or worse
Coming back to this post:
  1. Worst points total - salvaged. We got 60.
  2. Worst finish in the table: congrats to Erik ten Hag for guiding us to 8th, our new lowest position ever.
  3. Fewest goals scored: we also salvaged this - we got 57. Comfortable work.
  4. Most goals conceded: congrats again to Erik - we conceded 58.
  5. Fewest wins: we beat the allegations here. 18 wins.
  6. Most losses: did someone say recordbreaker? 14 losses.
  7. Worst goal differential: Ccccombo. -1 GD.
Ten hag broke four of seven of our worst records in the PL. Some doing.
