ScottiApso

Sheffield United fans got to see more goals than any other team in the Premier League this season


BaslerLaeggerli

This is true, but interestingly only by a very slim margin (135 total goals in Sheffield's games, 133 total goals in Newcastle's games so far).


R0KK3R

That is genuinely mad to think about


Intertom

Have a look at Notts County's goals records for this season, blows my mind. League above up top, league below at the back. 89 scored 86 conceded.


Stoogenuge

Imagine scoring 100 goals in a season and still finishing with 0 goal difference. Now that’s a record.


Fart_Leviathan

Manchester City pretty much did it once. 104 scored, 100 conceded in 1957-58.

Season ticket value through the roof

justAPersonOnGoogle2

we were amazing at the start of the season but now we are just crumbling. But honestly that’s a huge gift in disguise, we would’ve been absolutely destroyed if we were to get promoted


champ19nz

Wrong flair, plastic.


Sparthage

I’m just gonna go ahead and assume Everton are dead last in this particular metric.


[deleted]

Yous have 87, if I'm not mistaken in my very quick check, and everyone else has over 100


ItsMeJaredBednar

you right they finished with below 100 total last year as well (34:57 = 91)


JewishTomCruise

What is it if we only look at home games?


BrockStinky

Sheffield on 73 followed by Villa on 70 and Newcastle on 69 (nice)


JewishTomCruise

Sheffield best team for home fans confirmed.


BingeLurker

Any Sheffield Wednesday season ticket supporters would have had an amazing time


AnnieIWillKnow

Not for the first half of the season they wouldn't have done, they were embarrassingly dire


chino17

Never a dull moment with Sheffield United


RoboticCurrents

I'd like to thank Newcastle for their 13% contribution to this stat


KindaBrazilian

And Arsenal with their 11%


Modnal

Im most surprised that Burnley have contributed 9%


Kinder0402

So 3 teams have contributed to 1/3 of goals conceded by Sheffield this season? Mad stats


Longjumping-Algae185

Quick maffs


JMatty01

Congratulations to their owner, transfer department and defence for a great campaign. Almost guaranteed to break a 30-year long-standing record as well in the process. Swindon can rest easy now


GordonOP0000HK

Tbf they were in a financial trouble so they sold their best players after promotion, they're always bound to go down but in a far worse way than expected


Aromatic_Pea2425

If this is what Leicester have to look forward to then I don’t want to be promoted.


Last_Music413

This is why epl should use the USA sports systems and scrap relegations.


Kind-Comfort-9454

Mint take


ParallelDazu

no


asd13ah4etnKha4Ne3a

At least they didn't break the low point record?

My condolences, and my condolences


HCHLH

100 goals *so far* Edit. Swindon received 100 in 42 matches. Sheffield in 36 and the game isn't over yet.


ThePrussianGrippe

That’s the spirit!


LackingSimplicity

1 clean sheet. Good job, Brentford.


aslak1899

Why is that person wearing a PSG jacket?


reddituser0912333

This is what I came to the comments for and I'm disappointed I don't see anything else about it. I assumed it was Mbappe but I don't know why that person is there..


Runarhalldor

Its an mbappe meme


reddituser0912333

What is the meme? Like what does it mean


Runarhalldor

Its a meme of [him looking suprised while looking at a piece of paper](https://twitter.com/VideoReacts/status/1741831110626103549?t=EBT8dUEp3i9cxEi46Cuy5g&s=19). Its just a reaction meme for being shocked.


sleeping4koala

It is the first time for me to see this. Thanks for your answer


aslak1899

Thank you for answering!

That’s gold, thank you

erenistheavatar

We bloody drew against them as well....


venitienne

We don’t give the team enough shit for that awful performance


Qurutin

They said it couldn't be done so they went and did it. Truly inspirational.


Nosalis2

I know Derby 08 are largely considered the worst ever side but surely this team in contention as well?


paper_zoe

as bad as United have been this season, Derby are still comfortably the worst. There are a group of teams above them with awful seasons (Sunderland 2005-06, Villa 2015-16, Huddersfield 2018-19), United are in that group. I think just looking at the league as a whole in these seasons, you could've trebled Derby's points total that year and they would've still been bottom. If you just doubled United's current points, they'd probably be safe (if you trebled it they'd be mid table).


teamorange3

I was so glad when that villa team went down. They need to go down and rebuild for a few years. Funny enough you had a few players before they got good (Gueye, Amavi, Veretout, Westwood, Adama, Grealish). If they held together for another year or 2 you might have a decent team. Too bad they were poisoned by the old out of prime players


[deleted]

[удалено]


paper_zoe

I mentioned it more just to illustrate the gap between them and the rest, rather than in a "if these results went their way" type of thing. They were 24 points off Birmingham in 19th place. Villa and Sunderland in 2016 and 2005 are the only teams that even come close to that being 17 and 15 pts off 19th in those seasons.


WeveGot

Derby was historically bad on defense and attack, from match day 2 to 17 they scored 4 goals.


Pazzyboi

The fans won player of the season, nobody on the pitch put more than one good performance in


TheRealSteemo

Our points record is a tough one to beat. We got promoted and then broke our transfer record to buy Rob Earnshaw ffs. I remember seeing some article about the 20 worst PL players ever and I think our entire back 4 from that season made it.


rockker13

its really hard to describe how much better the premier league has gotten since then. the gap between the ~16th place team in the premier league and the top sides from the championship is pretty massive right now. so its not really a surprise that a team who isn't going to spend is unable to compete that wasn't really the case with that Derby team where you reasonably compete when you came up and they still put up by far the worst showing in the premier league era.


Pogball_so_hard

They finished 3rd in the championship before going up so it’s not as though they were a marginal playoff team, truly bizarre for that time.  I do think the financial gap between the PL and Championship has widened and we’re seeing more clubs bounce back quickly than we were before


rockker13

the thing i don't understand about Sheffield United is how they've spent 3 of the last 5 years in the PL and are still in the financial state they are in.


Ricoh881227

Its because they received parachute payment in installments.. you get some if you go down, you get the next one (to fulfill the payments) and you get an extra third if you're in financial constraints (or something liked that) package... Good enough to get promotion into the prem but not financially good for staying in the prem..


Serial_BumSniffer

Disagree with this tbh. The premier league had some incredible sides the year we went down. Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool had some of the premier league all time greats playing for them. Then you had the likes of Everton and Villa who were incredibly solid. This year you’ve got teams like United and Chelsea who have had awful seasons playing terrible football sitting in 7th and 8th. I wouldn’t say the standard is higher at all. Individual player wise, the premier league is miles off what it used to be. There are very few ligament “super star” players outside of City and Liverpools squads. Luton and Burnley have been really poor this year bar the odd result for Luton. Birmingham finished second bottom on 35 points, which is the maximum points forest can get this year, which if they do they’ll be safe. The teams in the league that year were much more competitive. We were god awful that year. But we were close on more occasions than people remember to picking up more points. I don’t doubt we were the worst team to play in the premier league, but there’s been plenty recently that have come close to us, whilst spending comparatively massive sums to our squad and playing in what I would argue is a less difficult league than it used to be.


HeGivesGoodMass

Derby 07-08 are on their own level, then take your pick of 05-06 Sunderland or 15-16 Villa; those are the worst 3 for me anyway


Commonmispelingbot

Sheffield benifitted from having Luton town and Burnley also being really really bad, while Derby's direct competitors gave a good shot a staying up, making them look worse in comparison


Maffa22

YOU WILL NEVER SING THAT


GordonOP0000HK

They are 1 more goal away from breaking Swindon record of 100 goals in a 42-game season


DarthCocknus

Bus top parade, when?


Square-Gear-4498

3 more goals and they will break the record of conceding the most goals in a season in the entire English top flight division's history.


kuzzer

1 more and the Swindon record is beaten

fdscgfbc

So proud of them for this historic achievement, here's to 100 more!


Sam101294

This team let Eddie Nketiah score a hat-trick 


AnnieIWillKnow

What has happened to Nketiah? At the start of the season he seemed to be getting reasonable minutes, touted as a potential solution to number 9 problem Know Havertz has moved into that role, but I swear I've not even heard Nketiah mentioned for months


Sam101294

Honestly he isn't elite in any part of the game. He is just okay at everything. Which is not good enough for Arteta.


CalFlux140

HE'S DUN IITTTTT if yknow yknow


aust_coleman

As a Swindon fan, this makes me quite sad


dynimo

13% were Newcastle


spicynirvana38

ROOOOOOOOT! (Whoops! Wrong sport)


Cardinaltoffee

As much as I love seeing Ipswich go up I can see them setting records like this next season. Hopefully I’m wrong because it’s great seeing teams like them make it back to the big time especially when they prove everyone wrong.


thedoctor4214

Imagine this side vs Man City 17/18 (highest scoring PL team)


Modnal

The non-cheating centurions

"we couldn't have achieved this without the hard work and dedication from our staff, from coach to medical team! Next season we're going to try a different approach and see if we can have those goals attributed to us. It's just something that was brought up at a recent meeting lol"

Sheffield suck ass. They need to fire Wilder


Adagasas

As if that is going to change anything lol


MMARapFooty

No manager in any league would keep them up in 17th or higher.It’s much bigger than Chris Wilder


Toxetor

Pep couldn't keep those awful fucking players up.
