Those of you who listen to Over the Bar will already be familiar with Peter Storey's league table, but it deserves it's own thread. It will be kept updated throughout the season.
The idea of the table is to adjust the points according to the difficulty of the fixtures already played, with the idea being the team at the top is best placed to win the league. The scoring system is as follows:
Win home fixtures (57 pts)
Win away fixtures v bottom 8 (24 pts)
Draw away fixtures v middle 8 (8 pts)
Lose away fixtures v other top 4 (0pts)
This gives you 89 points, and almost certainly the title. The current net points table is shown below (with 0 being on target for 89 points):
=1. United - 3
=1. Arsenal -3
3. Chelsea -6
4. Liverpool - 14
This is based on the following groupings of teams, which will now be fixed for the season:
Top Four: Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool
Middle Eight: Everton, Man City, Spurs, Aston Villa, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland, Stoke
Bottom Eight: Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, Hull, Portsmouth, Burnley, Wolves, Birmingham
