Almost identical to the 20 wins, 6 draw of the 03/04 season.
So similarly we didn't really have weak efforts once infront last season against the weaker teams, it was our rivals that outplayed us, the two losess came at Old Trafford after going 1-0 up and at The Bridge. Had we held on here, we would have won the league last season even if Chelsea beat Bolton on the last day of the season
When we didn't score first which occured on 12 occasions in 03/04 and 14 occasions in 07/08, this includes 4 0-0's in 03/04 and 2 0-0's in 07/08. Never were we held to goaless defeat in either season. Cough Cough Villa on the weekend!
in 07/08 we came back for 5 wins, 4 draws and a single loss to borough = 19 points = 1.9 pts/game
in 03/04 we did much better claiming 6 wins and 2 draws = 20 points = 2.5 pts/game
Could be attributed to experience
In London we took 21 points last season compared to 18 in 03/04 in the same amount of games.
Thus after filtering we can see how we went against the northerners
15 games away and outside London in 07/08 produced 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses = 27 points
15 games away and outside London in 03/04 produced 9 wins, 6 draws and 0 losses = 33 points
Overall poor record against the more physical teams, one massive area to work on, 10 wins here would almost guaruntee a title shot if we don't play like tools at home.
