All time Premier League table

[Risso]

Yes, I know that football existed prior to 1992, but I though the following table was interesting:
 

 
44 different teams have been in the Premier League, suprised it's that many to be honest.
 
Top 7 pretty much as you'd expect.

So, all those journalists that said we over-achieved by finishing 6th under O'Neill were wrong?  What a surprise!

Does this mean we have to give some credit to Doug?

and the Baggies are in 33rd place, beneath the likes of Sheffield United.  Wolves are worse than Oldham!

[Somniloquism]

So out of  6 other clubs who have been in the prem since it started, we have done better then 2 of them?

Hardly suprising that is it?

The unfortunate thing is they really believe it.

Yes, but it isn't a level playing field if you take it on total points. Points per game is a better guide where we are actually behind Leeds, Newcastle and surprisingly Blackburn. So 8th altogether. No surprise we were above Tottenham as they have only finished above us about 4 or 5 times post 92.

we would have easily been top 4 , If it had not been for chelskis money...

[The Situation]

Man City @ 13 lol. Small club with money.

Chelsea Arsenel and Liverpool were just lucky! If CL had gone to the top Four from the begining of the PL we could have been MASSIVE!

I'm surprised Spurs were above Everton.

Of course it's a 'level playing field'. If they aren't good enough to be in the Premier League that's not our fault. In the past 18 seasons the only clubs better than us are two with worldwide support, one with a multi-billionaire owner and one who made the most inspired managerial appointment in modern history. You can find fault with that if you like but I think it's something to be proud of.
