Talking of ineptitude - I don't see a link!

It was interesting. Leicester only made one mistake all season that led to them conceding.

That struck me as remarkable.

It's on the Guardian website somewhere, read it yesterday.

As Axi says very postmodern ironic type post though OP.

Woohoo, United are at the right end of a table!

That is normal, @Skarloey is (obviously) a Premier League player

Ah there we go. A while since I'd posted a link so obviously forgot to do it properly.

All fixed now folks. Read it and weep if you're a Baggie or VIlla fan....

This Villa team is one of the worst I've seen in the Premiership. Bloody awful.

Baggies also the Premiership side with least shots on target this season. That article might suggest a half decent goalie has been their saving grace.

Man U would be the opposite end if the Manager was included in the stats

VAN GAAL OUT!!!!!!!!!

Were we in any doubt that a team relying on Off-Saido Berahino, James "more right wing than left" McClean and Craig "answer to life the universe and everything" Gardner would be inept?! Though I'm the same way that United's apparent competence is not necessarily true in reality, we seemed to do quite well to finish where we are with such a dross squad?

Likewise that stat often gets rolled out, but what they don't show is our shot to goal ratio which is actually pretty high! Plus we've only had a half decent keeper for some of the season, had Myhill for the first half of it

Yep - it's good job that's not the way the league is decided eh? I'll stick with the universally accepted Wins+Draws=Points model, cheers. 

Albion have been safe for a number of weeks yet Aston Villa have effectively been relegated since October. I know what I'd rather have. Boing Boing, see you next season for an Indian mixed grill Pep Guardiola

I shall be frequenting the Vine 3 times in three weeks for various reasons, the 2nd of which shall be the Liverpool game. Yum Yum Yum. Who needs a non-inept team when you have balti bbq?

mudslide73

Indoor bbq ftw. I've been trying to convince Master Mudslide to go for a grill but he's not so sure. He had a balti pie at half time v Norwich and it blew his mind! (more than the Albion did anyway).

Trip one is tomorrow night, when I shall probably have my favourite hot rajasthani. Oh and a curry Next Sunday is the Liverpool game, where I shall have the bbq. Then the following Friday night shall be whichever of the two I enjoy most

For this season they only needed a table for two places:

Chelsea
Aston Villa
