Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with some football data, specifically the Leeds United table. I’ve been following them on and off, and I figured it would be a fun little project to see if I could pull their current standing from somewhere and maybe even keep track of it over time.
First things first, I needed to find a place that actually shows the table. I just fired up my browser and did a quick search. There were a bunch of sites that popped up, but honestly, I didn’t want anything too fancy. No crazy graphics or in-depth analysis, just the raw table data. I found one.
So, now I have my data. The page displayed the full table I needed.
I copied the whole table and threw the data in.
It looked good! I could see Leeds United’s position, their points, wins, losses, draws, all that good stuff. It was right there.
The result.
- I was able to grab the table information for Leeds United.
- It took me a little time to pick through the results.
- I got what I need to look at!
It wasn’t the most complex project in the world, but it was a fun little exercise. It showed me how I can quickly grab some data and play around with it. Maybe next time, I’ll try to automate this and make it update automatically. But for now, I’m happy with my little manual data pull.
