The alternative table

Thought it might be interesting to see how the Premiership would have worked out under the handicap system I talked about the other day, so here it is -

Manchester United - 93 points (goal difference 56)
Reading - 93 (5)
Portsmouth - 88
Chelsea - 83
Aston Villa - 82
Everton - 80
Arsenal - 76 (28)
Sheffield United - 76 (-23)
Liverpool - 74 (30)
Middlesbrough - 74(-5)
Bolton - 72 (-5)
Manchester City - 72 (-15)
Tottenham Hotspur - 70
Watford - 66
Blackburn - 64
Fulham - 63
Charlton - 60
West Ham - 59
Wigan - 58
Newcastle - 57

Of course, this supposes that the results would have all been the same - Man U and Reading for example might have put a bit more into Sunday's matches had the title really been up for grabs.
