There is a gap of over 200 points between the top 4 and the rest.
 
Now this is an interesting post! I am surprised at how low Liverpool is - I would have thought they would be higher than Chelsea and possibly Arsenal.

Ditto... just goes to show that Chelsea kicked it up a gear long before Abramovich... :D
 
Was about to point that out. Most guys say that Chelsea were nothing without Roman.

Not true.
 
It's not surprising at all. Man U. Arsenal and Chelsea have all won the premiership more than once whereas Liverpool has not won it since the premiership began. It obviously makes sense.

Chelsea have gone past Liverpool due to the last few years ever since Roman took over Chelsea.

Well actually, do some research and you'll find that it's true. Chelsea were nowhere near winning it until Roman came in.
 
Chelsea have actually been on a steady progression up the table before Roman bought them, even winning the fa cup a few years before.

There is actually a pretty good table showing this...

They would be, but the "Premiership" (now called Premier League) has only been around since 1992
 
Great thread.

Note how many teams in the top 20 have dropped to the 3rd tier of English Football since '92. Leeds in 10th have been out the Prem for 5 years IIRC, Leicester City are also there. Man City, Bolton(IIRC), Sheffield Wednesday, Wimbledon have all been down there. Southampton and Charlton are on the brink of going down this season too. Just shows how it fluctuates

See... that's where you're wrong. I have no need for research - been following Chelsea since 97. We were capable of winning it from 2000 onwards... the managers just weren't right. Gullit & Vialli were great cup managers but had trouble in the league. Ranieri... well... as much as I loved the guy as manager - he wasn't called the Tinkerman for nothing. Don't expect Juve to win the league while he's in charge.

Chelsea were successful before Abramovich. Go and check who Chelsea's second most trophied manager is and you'll see that he has nothing to do with the Roman Era.
 
I think that log is a bit incorrect... if I'm remember correctly Everton is the ONLY EVER team in the premiership to have never been relagated to division 1...
 
Correct. Everton is the longest top flight team apart from Arsenal. The Gunners were relegated in 1913 but reinstated after WW1 without playing in the old 2nd division.
