  1. I’ll be honest this one has surprised me quite a bit. Not bad for us at all, considering.

    I remember the 34 days Everton spent on top when Ancelotti was their manager and were talking about winning the league in 20/21 season. It all came crumbling down after the international break 😂

    City are absolute scam artists with their late season charges.

    Knowing what they’ve done the last decade+ you’d think they’d be absolutely clear on this table.

    Conveniently it’s the manc clubs that overachieve relative to their days on top of the table overall. Nothing to see there.

  4. Yet people want City winning over Arsenal.

    Lost the 13/14, 18/19, 21/22 and 23/24 title races to City.

    Annoying af.

  5. No point in being top until the second week of May.

    City are like the best distance runners, sat on your shoulder. You know what they’re going to do in the last 400 metres but you can’t do anything to stop it!

    It’s insane that City have won more titles than Chelsea in that timeframe and yet haven’t spent more days at the top than the latter

  7. A bit misleading with regards to City, given it was 7 years into that sample that they ever sat top, while Chelsea obviously kicked off two decades 04 onwards of having a very strong side.

    That said: evidence that Guardiola is just a master of pacing the season, where Arteta is the rank opposite.

    Interesting that we’re more or less neck and neck with United in that period too, given Roy Keane was still playing for them when this sample size kicked off.

    Man City: 150 days top per title
    Leicester: 175 days top per title
    Man Utd: 207.8 days top per title
    Chelsea: 308.6 days top per title
    Liverpool: 517 days top per title
    Arsenal: No title

  9. There’s been a few times that city have had 2-3 games in hand while only a couple points off the top, unsure if this factors matches played or literal days top based on days.

  10. Leicester with less than 200 days won a title, and now they’re pretty much going to league one next season. A miracle of modern football
