| 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!
