Coventry - now 3 points off us by GlasgowBlue 20 Sep 14:27They were always going to win a game at some point. But the facts are that after 5 games we have won twice as many games as they have. Over the course of a season that would see us on 43 points and Coventry on 21.

I'm sure BBC Sport used to hold themselves to a higher standard than this. Their level of journalism in there is descending towards Buzzfeed. | | | |

i've literally just seen that. Im not one for throwing a fit at this type of stuff, but how on earth can you come to that conclusion, i would really like to understand that rating.
As a fellow promoted team, we have 6 points, they have 3 points. How does that correlate to a 6 for them and a 5 for us? Maybe because they've played Brighton, Arsenal and City?
We've scored 7 to their 1 and conceded 11 to their 10. It doesn't make much sense! |  | | |

The only way you could possibly begin to justify it is by arguing that their expectations were much lower than our's - but this justification does not work since most pundits were tipping them to perform the best of the promoted teams. It's bizarre, but unsurprising and symptomatic of how little insight these outlets have on clubs outside the big 5/6 | | | |

1. Lampard bias
2. 'Fairytale story' bias.
3. Recency bias. Had Cov won their first game, then lost the rest, their score would likely have been lower but maybe not given reasons 1 and 2.
Or....
4. Maybe just look at the league table instead and work it out. |  |

Actually, it took 10 seconds based on the prompt I used here: Based on the first 5 games of the EPL this season, give me a rating and a single sentence on how each team has performed against expectations
Team Rating Verdict
Man City A+ Perfect record, +8 goal difference — imperious, exactly the level they're supposed to set.
Arsenal A Ticking along right where a title challenger should be.
Brighton A- Punching well above their usual solid mid-table weight, with a ridiculous +11 goal difference.
Leeds A- Unbeaten in five as a promoted side is miles better than anyone expected.
Brentford B+ Unbeaten and steady, outperforming their "solid but unspectacular" tag.
Hull City B+ Playoff winners already banking more points than a newly-promoted side usually manages.
Everton B Comfortably ahead of preseason expectations.
Ipswich B- Doing better than feared given last season's relegation.
Newcastle C Treading water — below what's expected of a top-six hopeful.
Sunderland C Scrapping, but roughly in line with expectations for a promoted club.
Liverpool C+ Too many draws for a side meant to be leading the title race.
Chelsea C- Inconsistent, underdelivering on their top-four ambitions.
Nottingham Forest D+ A clear step down from last season's European push.
Crystal Palace D Below their usual mid-table solidity.
Aston Villa D Well short of expectations for a club chasing Europe.
Bournemouth D Winless and underperforming.
Man United D Drawing and losing more than a club of their stature should tolerate.
Coventry City D- Struggling worse than hoped as a promoted side, -9 goal difference.
Fulham D- Winless, misfiring badly.
Tottenham F Winless, toothless in front of goal — the biggest underachievers of the lot.
It's interesting that Claude gets confused over who has been recently promoted / relegated. [Post edited 21 Sep 11:00]

BBC Sport is pretty low-rent these days.
The fact they employ professional rage-baiters like Chris Sutton, makes it even more of an affront we have to pay TV tax. [Post edited 21 Sep 11:07]

So, Leeds and Sunderland are still classed as 'a promoted side' in that version? | |

As per my edit - that is a typical issue with AI models where there is confusion over timing - that is why you have to be careful with the prompt and the output before publishing.
So added: "Check recent promoted teams as this is the 2026/2027 season and amend accordingly."

Arsenal A Ticking along right where a title challenger should be.
Brighton A- Punching well above their usual solid mid-table weight, with a ridiculous +11 goal difference.
Leeds A- Second season back and unbeaten in five — second-season-syndrome fears look well wide of the mark.
Brentford B+ Unbeaten and steady, outperforming their "solid but unspectacular" tag.
Hull City B+ Playoff winners already banking more points than a newly-promoted side usually manages.
Everton B Comfortably ahead of preseason expectations.
Ipswich B- Doing better than feared for a side straight back up after relegation.
Newcastle C Treading water — below what's expected of a top-six hopeful.
Liverpool C+ Too many draws for a side meant to be leading the title race.
Chelsea C- Inconsistent, underdelivering on their top-four ambitions.
Sunderland D+ Into their second season up but already leaking goals — a shakier start than hoped for.
Nottingham Forest D+ A clear step down from last season's European push.
Crystal Palace D Below their usual mid-table solidity.
Aston Villa D Well short of expectations for a club chasing Europe.

They've also had Hull at home.
Sunderland (H), Man United (A), Liverpool (H), Palace (A), Everton (A) is a pretty decent cross section of PL life I would say. 2 x in the Champions League, 2 x in other European competitions and 1 x very established PL side in Everton. 3 away, 2 home. If anything our start is slightly on the tougher side than easier, Fulham (H) probably balances that back to neutral. We've not had City or Arsenal, equally we've not had a fellow promoted side. Not saying theirs isn't tougher, but with half the points we have and 1 goal scored I'm not sure how anyone can say they've started better.
Doesn't matter though innit. I'll happily go under the radar with 'boring' GON while they get the attention. |  | | |

We seem to be pretty invisible outside Ipswich regardless of what we do at the moment. Quite odd. But it may help in the long run. | |
