At the moment we are in a 3 team mini league with west ham and Stoke .
I would love it, love it, if we beat those two. |  |

10 points against the top teams is great — certainly much better than the 2 points won by MLs lie down and surrender tactics last season.
8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat against those bottom teams is exceptional. I would imagine that stacks up very well even if you added all the top teams results v those bottom teams. |  |

Yup, we're top of the middle, not bottom of the top.
Finishing 8th this season would be equivalent to winning the Prem. |  | | |

It’s not about where we are on the PL table, but the results against each set/group (or mini-league) of teams
Finishing 8th would not be equivalent to winning the PL - you'd say Southampton would have run away with that. | |

Not too much to say this time around.
Firstly, we've now completed our fixtures against the Bottom League teams and ended up with a thumping 28 points, i.e. 7 points better than last year. The win against Newcastle makes our Middle League position slightly more respectable.
Secondly, I'd like to make a point about how competitive or otherwise the Premier League is. I grouped the teams into the three mini-leagues based on their finishing places last season, which A Fans Dad and others pointed out didn't allow for teams improving or getting worse this time around. However, it's surprising to me how consistent these tables are. Yes, anyone can beat anyone but overall, it tends to even out.
In real life, only four clubs have moved out of the table that they were in last year. Southampton have gone up and Everton have gone down. West Brom have gone up (almost certainly thanks to Tony Pulis) and Sunderland have gone down. And that's it. If you're a middle-ranking team then you're unlikely to be sucked into a relegation dogfight next season, which I guess we should find comforting. [Post edited 27 Apr 2015 14:34]

Very comforting. We now need to be consistent in our demolition of lower sides and get a few more draws or better against teams like Spurs, City and Chelsea, which is possible, of course. I'm happy about sharing the 6 points with Saints, Everton and even West Ham and Stoke because that keeps us ticking over. We need to teach the upcoming clubs a bit of a lesson too, as we did v Burnley and QPR this year. |  | | |

And here's the final, completed mini-league table.

There's not too much for me to say about it. Overall, if you compare these tables with real life then teams that have done better than expected at the start of the season are Southampton (who were exceptional), West Brom (the Tony Pulis effect) and Leicester (simply for avoiding relegation). Teams who have done worse than expected are Everton, Sunderland, and of course Newcastle who were absolutely atrocious.
With regard to Swansea, we've scored and conceded fewer goals than last season, and also have a worse goal difference but nevertheless have ended up with 14 more points, which is amazing. Despite the disappointing performance yesterday against Palace this has been a fantastic season for us, so thank you Swansea! [Post edited 25 May 2015 15:50]
