Two questions.. about the PL.

[okstate99]

First I tried looking it up, but has the top division ever have a a table end with top two teams level on points? (pre PL included)

Second with promotion of Reading and possible Southampton,, and with QPR staying up could there be a record number of southern clubs in the PL era? Just seemed two years ago there was only 4 southern teams.

Thank you for all your help, for this stupid yank.

Arsenal pipped Liverpool on goals scored in 1989 (the famous decider at Anfield) and the rags won it from Leeds on goal average in 1965. You can check other years on that site.

I remember in 06/07 there were quite alot....
arsenal
chelsea
spurs
fulham
westham
charlton
reading
portsmouth
watford

...9 in all

If QPR stay up and southampton/reading go up and then even if west ham win the play offs, that would only bring the total to 8.


don't know what the record is, but i remember 9 being quite a large amount!
