In seriousness, I'm sure it might also be interesting to compare those 12 matches and determine the relative strengths of the teams played.

If I had the data[1] (and I am looking for them for a separate project) that's what I'd look at. I'd add an extra column to the table for the total points obtained by the opposition in their first 12 games. That would go some way to working out the relative ease or difficulty of a team's first 12 games. I could then do similar tables for Liverpoo, Manyoo, Citeh and Arsenal.
1. Date, kickoff time, teams, FT result is a minimum. Ideally scorers and goal times too, cards even better. Prem minimum, more leagues the better (including Scotchland). I'd prefer to buy it (£10 or so, I used to have access to something similar from a betting site years ago) but I am prepared to write HTML scrapers to get it from somewhere else (e.g. what was soccerbase).

Well that was a decent result. We've playe dBayern 6 times in the last 4 years, and have won 3 and lost 3.

That Aguero lad looks promising, though he finished a distant second to the mighty Kyle Walker in Young Player of the Year voting a few years back.

Not that the British are parochial or anything.....
