Trying out another new template: recalculating the league table after each minute of play to show when teams performed relatively well (and not so well). Each mini-chart highlights an interesting cut-off for a team. Full explanation via the link: experimental361.com/p/minute…

By my reckoning if @stokecity are still top of the @SkyBetChamp at the end of today, it'll be the first time since 27 April 2008 that they've ended a day top of a league table. At 17 years 3 months 12 days it's the longest such drought among any of the current PL and EFL teams.

Stoke weren't able to end their wait, although they'll get another chance if their game with Sheff Wed goes ahead. I've written something on the longest waits for a team to sit top and bottom of a table here, and the latter is even more interesting: experimental361.com/p/which-…

I've created squad retention charts at the top European leagues (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Netherlands & Portugal): experimental361.substack.com… I thought there was a bug when I saw Alverca's profile, but it turns out they have only one player left from last season.
