How about (to the Christmas song):
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
When you’re scoring for fun
And you beat everyone
And you’re thirteen points clear.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Re: The 100 point club
Since we drew with Stoke, game 12 we have averaged 2.48. That gives us 22.32 over the next 9 games if we keep it up. Cheers for that. Our average over the season is just under 2.25 but as you say if you look from game 13 when we really started to click it is higher. This would take us to a point or...

Re: The 100 point club
Statistically 100+ points is actually likely. If we continue with our average points per game for the season we will make 103 or thereabouts. Although I haven’t worked it out our average since all those early draws must actually be higher meaning the record is possible. In fact it would mean a colla...
