is this the worst Premiership ever ?

watching MOTD2 and hearing that before today Wigan had lost their 7 on the bounce &  Wolves lost 6 out of the last 8 got me thinking................is this the worst Premiership season ?  We only got relegated in 1998/99 because we lost 6 on the trot (which was then a record), but now that seems common place.

 It used to be said that you needed  around 40 points to survive  (or a point a game & then win your last one)  - but looking at the current table about half the teams have only got a point a game and this season you could stay up on less than 30 points !

Actually think it would be a lot harder for us to get out of the championship than to stay in in the premiership.

They said on Sky yesterday that Bolton had lost 13 of their last 15 league games...

If a club like Spurs can be 5th with a game in hand and only behind 4th on GD then yes it must be crap!

There do seem to be a lot of very bad runs going on lately. I reckon anyone in the bottom 12 is a candidate for relegation and 40 points will be more than enough to keep you up.

If it's rubbish it also seems to be more entertaining so why complain?

Unfortunately it was 8 games we lost on the trot, not 6.

In a 13 game stretch we took 4pts from 39. They fought back after that, but that was a killer run.
