Record breaking Premier League home form

Post by Braindead » Sat Apr 01, 2017 1:14 pm

According to BBC Sport: ◾Burnley have won 83% of their home games in the Premier League, the highest percentage of any side in the history of the competition.

Not bad

I suspect they mean 83% of Premier League points.

Whilst an interesting stat, it's hardly amazing, considering we're almost done with just our 3rd season in the PL.

If we stay up this year, it'll be interesting to see how that stat reads at the end of next season.

Confused - We've won 9 out of 14. That's 64%.

Yeah I think you're right. And if so, it's not impressive really, as it relies on us being bonk away from home to make that 83% so high.

Presumably all the points won at home over all the points available. Bit of an unsurprising stat.

isn't it obvious
36 x 12/4.3 x 82-16/12x82 = 83% :lol: :lol: :lol:
