California. Duh.
Yeah, when he's not screwing his teammate's girlfriend, parking his Bentley in handicapped spaces, or racially abusing people, Terry's a swell guy.

Spots 8-17 in the premier league all finished with 11 or 12 wins.
Their points totals ranged from 46-40.
Only two teams had GD greater than -10 (-7 Southampton and -8 West Brom)

Since the start of April:

- Man City lost 1 (at Chelsea), drew 3 (at Arsenal, vs MU, at Boro), and won 6, including the last 4 in a row. 70% of possible points.
- Liverpool lost 1 (vs Palace), drew 2 (vs Bournemouth, vs Southampton), and won 6, including 3 of the last 4. 74% of possible points.
- Arsenal lost 2 (at Palace, at Spurs), drew 1 (vs City), and won 8, including the last 5 in a row. 76% of possible points - and all for naught.

All the games count, the ones at the start of the season no less than the ones at the end, but man, that's some stepping up from all of them against some incredibly competition. And United might well have done similarly, if they didn't have the backdoor into the UCL open to them.

Here's a good trivia question for you. Name the 7 managers who have recorded at least 150 wins in the Premier League.

Not Pulis? Really? He's been in the PL since the 08-09 season, hasn't he? Not sure about the math but he's got to be really close to 150.

(...just did the math, he's at 129 I believe if you're only counting PL, not Europe or Cups)

Correct. Okay, last questions. Among non-goalkeepers, who has the most premier league appearances without ever having scored?

Also, there are 12 players who have made more than 500 premier league appearances, 3 of which are not English, who are the 3?

Only got the obvious one without looking it up.

Two of the three are Brits. The third is a non-American goalkeeper.
I also got the obvious one easily but struggled with the other two. One I should have thought of quickly, the other I would never have guessed.

Peter Schmeichel with those great Man United teams? He's my guess for the non-American keeper.

HA! Wow not even close. Didn't get to just barely over 300 in the Prem and only 252 of those with ManU.

Something interesting to me that Zomp probably knows cold but that I just found out on Peter's Wiki page. He never lost a Manchester Derby. Even his last season when he was the keeper at Man City he won at Maine Road and drew at Old Trafford. Nice to always have that in your back pocket.
