How are we getting on points wise compared to this time last year. Sure there is something out there, I just can't be assed looking. It must be close.
after match day 20 we had 45 points, we currently have 36
but if you take the same 20 fixtures we've played this season compared to last season then we've taken 3 more points. i think this is a more accurate reflection for comparing results.
Shit, that much. Tho taking by who we have played, and where, which is probably more important, looks good. Man I love this team.after match day 20 we had 45 points, we currently have 36

Given both variations...I say second is most relevant...as poster said.Really? It doesn't take into account the variation in quality of opposition from one season to another, when the game was played whether midweek or Saturday morning for example. Actually think it's the least accurate of all.

why does the day it's played on matter? i think it's a fairer reflection because it takes away fixture bias, the 2nd half of last season we had to go to the etihad/emirates/goodison/stamford bridge/anfield but this season we've already got the first three out of the way. obviously it's never going to be water tight but it's better than just going by each match day as the table does lie at week 20 and will continue to lie until the final game basically.
Don't you think it makes a difference if you play on the Sunday after everyone else has played on the Saturday?
I really don't. Can see what you're saying but think more important who we are playing and how we are playing.Don't you think it makes a difference if you play on the Sunday after everyone else has played on the Saturday?
Ok, we'll use the other one as much more accurate because we're doing better. Forget I said anything.

Thats the one I would always use tbh. I dont really see the other one as being accurate at all - if we were top of the league after 4 games having played 4 poor teams at home i wouldnt be as optimistic as i would be if we had won 4 tough games.
That said - the stats men ie sky sports tend to compare to this time last year (ie who is bottom at xmas etc) as i guess momentum is equally important and with the 2nd one, form isnt taken into account.
As you said spursbear - none are really comparable tbh
