Tranmere Rovers against the Premiership

Tranmere's giant killing is legendary. And while their league form spluttered and died between 1999 and 2001, their performance against the top flight was amazing.

So, we take the two seasons' games we played well against Premiership opposition, translate the scores at the end of 90 minutes (no penalty shoot-outs or extra time) into points and compare it to the rest of the Premiership from the first 12 games of of 2000-2001 season!
