Greasy Herring
Despite the recent upturn in form and the team showing some fight, escaping relegation is still looking highly unlikely, and so inspired by the recent Athletic article I thought it would be good to track the small steps to some sort of redemption and positioning ourselves as best as possible for next season regardless of the league we're in. Below is a little mini-league of the 'dire dozen' aka the worst points totals in the Premier League. Last night was the first milestone, avoiding being the sole worst team by drawing level with Derby. Next target is eclipsing that, followed by the 15 points Sunderland obtained in 05-06. Ultimately the target (and the only one that really matters) is avoiding relegation, but with that being such a herculean task (and unlikely) thought it would be nice to tick off some small victories by hopefully moving up this list!
