2014/15 Southampton defensive record

[Matthew Le God]

Since football began in 1992 and the Premier League started, only six teams had conceded 33 goals or less in a Premier League season.

 

Saints can now join that list...

 

Chelsea x11

Man Utd x10

Arsenal x8

Liverpool x6

Man C x2

Everton x1

Southampton x1

Proud that we maintained that over the season, the defense has really been the basis of our season. Outstanding organisation and a great shield in Morgan and Wanyama, but there will likely be 1 or 2 big voids to fill in that group for next season. So I hope we focus on working out how to score a fair few more goals as well..!

Do you think any other top division side has scored over a quarter of its season's goals in 2 games, or 1/3 of them in 3?

Or you could say we failed to get on the equally arbitrary list of teams who have conceded 32 goals or less.

MLG at his irrelevant best.

Could say similar of people using the number of 50's or 100's in cricket as a gauge of how well someone has done. Why 50 and not 49, why 100 and not 99?

 

So why not 33 goals conceded?

Unnecessary attempt to bash MLG, I thought it was an interesting statistic. Let's be proud of our excellent defensive record and overall superb season instead of pointlessly having a go at one another.

I think you've come to the wrong forum.
