    I’m thinking maybe it’s proper old school teams.

    Yes, 4th.

    And yes, 6th.

    I was surprised, even with wins in the lower league I thought losses at the top level would balance them out.

    I'd go with Wolves and Sheffield United for the same reasons.

    Saw a stat today that there are 20 players who've scored 30+ in all competitions in a season when they were playing for a Premier League club in England.  

    Arsenal have had nearly twice as many seasons where a player achieved it as Manchester United, and Tottenham have had a player do it more often than than Chelsea.

    Anyway: Can you name them?

    I'll start with some of the obvious.

    Shearer, Henry, Ronaldo, Suarez, Kane, Salah, Rooney, Van Persie, van Nistelrooy, Andy Cole, Drogba, Torres.
