Stick to the topic please. I want proof of this 'top 12' phrase in the premier league league table as I've never heard of it used. If you can find a quote or a source then I'll accept it. I've only ever known a top half and bottom half of the table. In the case of the premier league, the top ten and bottom half.

where do you think phrases come from? Do you think they are born and released into the world by God who carves them in stone?

Phrases are created by people to accurately describe a situation. Many people have used top 12 in this thread and other threads before today hence the quote in the OP. so now, you have heard of it![]()

Many other examples of "top" being used to describe a position or number not in the "top 50%" of overall number too

It took seconds. Google "top 12 finish" and its on the first page.
The thrill of the chase is far more satisfying
So top 12 finish then, glad you agree.

I'm not wrong though am I. Both are perfectly accurate in describing swanseas position.
There we are then. Have a nice day Roathy. Enjoy your moral victory

I warned you to stop digging!
Made yourself look a proper spatula.
Like I said earlier, just enjoy being 20/96 for now. We don't need Jack sympathisers rubbing it in. For the record, Roathie was right all along, whether he produced proof or not and you should have realised that when Bluebirds agreed with him!!
