How many different teams have Saints played in the top division?

[Tom8558]

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

Wigan?

 

And there's nothing wrong with turning this into a Sporcle - fantastic website!

Swansea?

Swansea?

 

Beat them in 81/82 and 82/83.

[Tom8558]

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.

Sure there must be a few, Fleetwood, Burton, Crawley, Accrington (might have played the old version, I guess, but they re-formed), Morecambe...

[Miltonroader07]

Waterlooville

[Danish Saint]

Grimsby?

[Danish Saint]

Never mind... played them 29 times

[Danish Saint]

We played Accrington 4 times.

 

Havn't played Burton, Crawley, Fleetwood and Waterlooville

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).
