The Final Premiership League Tables for 2009-10
FootballCynic is proud to be the first to publish the final league tables for the 2009-10 season. How has this been achieved? Well, as we all know Google rules the world, so our crack team of researchers has checked the number of Google hits for each team. There are not too many surprises and it saves everyone the bother of paying good money to see this season's fixture. So, here's the final table with millions of hits in brackets.
Chelsea 85
Liverpool 82
Manchester United 64.3
Arsenal 60
Manchester City 37.9
Portsmouth 28
Everton 22
Birmingham City 21.1
Sunderland 15.2
Hull City 11.2
Aston Villa 10.4
Fulham 9.4
Stoke City 6.1
Burnley 5.2
West Ham United 4.9
Tottenham Hotspurs 4.1
Blackburn Rovers 2.7
Bolton Wanderers 1.9
Wigan Athletic 1.8
Wolverhampton Wanderers 0.9
So, it looks like Manchester United will suffer following Ronaldo's departure and Chelsea will reclaim the title. Meanwhile, Portsmouth will perform better than expected. At the bottom, it will be a tough year for newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Hull City and Burnley keep well above the danger zone. It may be time for Harry Redknapp to move on as Tottenham Hotspurs struggle to keep out of the bottom three.

This is fine research, of course. However, the more refined way of settling results is to use the Duckworth Knobhead method. This works out scores for every game based on highly tuned statistical formulae for every game and then randomly allocates dubious penalties for certain teams. Interestingly, it automatically deducts random points from teams like Luton Town. I think you will find that this will put Manchester United at the top of the pile. (FootballCynic writes: Of course, the DK formula is widely accepted as the gold standard. It is fully accepted that the Google method is just a quick alternative to the carefully thought out formulae that you and Duckworth put together.)

Actually, FootballCynic, Duckworth didnt really pull his weight on this one as a matter of fact. Most of the calculations were devised whilst I was sitting in a nice warm bath poured by Lady Knobhead. As usual she brought me a large campari and soda which unfortunately caused me to doze off just as I was considering Grimsby Town's fixtures. Of course, keep this to your self, FootballCynic, this is quite sensitive information.
