Tom8558 Posted 17 April, 2013 Share Posted 17 April, 2013 Cardiff's promotion to the Premier League got me thinking, as we have never played them before in either the Premier League or old First Division. At the risk of this turning into a Sporcle. How many different teams have we played in the top Division? Having checked, it's more than I expected. It will go up next season with Cardiff's promotion and with Hull likely to go up. And of these teams, which two have we never beaten in a top flight game? (one is obvious) I must get out more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's nothing wrong with turning this into a Sporcle - fantastic website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeovil Saint Posted 17 April, 2013 Share Posted 17 April, 2013 And of these teams, which two have we never beaten in a top flight game? (one is obvious) I got the less obvious one and completely forgot the more obvious one. Most wins in the top flight v Tottenham 23 v Man City 21 v West Ham 20 v Everton 20 v Aston Villa 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom8558 Posted 19 April, 2013 Author Share Posted 19 April, 2013 Saints have played 50 different teams in the top division. Cardiff will be number 51, and presumably Hull number 52. Of those 50 teams, the only two that we have never beaten in a top division match are Wigan and Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeovil Saint Posted 20 April, 2013 Share Posted 20 April, 2013 Looking at the top division stats it's odd how similar our records are against the teams we have played most often, our worst winning percentage out of teams that we've played 30 times or more is Sheffield Wednesday (7 wins out of 38 ), ahead of Arsenal (16 wins out of 72), Man Utd (15/72) and Derby (7/34). Also how few teams we beat the majority of times, only Bradford (4/4), Bristol City (3/4), Reading (2/2) and oddly Sunderland (16/31). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
