Title: Your Current Premier League Champion: Aston Villa

If the Premier League title was literally a title belt and worked in the same way as wrestling and changed hands upon a win against the holder, we'd be the current holders after recently winning the title off Sunderland.

Records of all title holders dating back to 1993 here. (http://imgur.com/a/da4fg)

I'll organise the open-top bus parade.

All a bit 'Scotland' isn't it?

Looking at this year's scores, I might put money on Arsenal winning 1-0

Completely pointless but quite entertaining. I can't believe someone worked all that out.

It's very sad and utterly worthless but I actually really like this meaningless trophy. It's something that the big teams can't buy.

Though saying that Arsenal may well win it off us a week today.

I'd imagine Arsenal are already making arrangements for the civic reception.

Does that mean if Arsenal are winning, then Lamberts allowed to sneak up behind Wenger and smash him on the head with a steel chair?

Say if a team gain the Premier belt on the last day of season but are relegated anyway would they hold it until they return to the top division and lose a game?

They take it with them to the second division and defend it there. I think it actually happened.

Only if the fourth official isn't looking or has been conveniently knocked out by being lightly bumped into.

Hmm, but why did it all start with Man United?

Because proper football started in 1992-3, apparently.

I think it should have started with the defending champions going into the first Premier League season, 1992-3, which would have been Leeds United.

I see Blues are the team that brought the belt back into the Premier League. And they carry the name of the city as well, damn them!
