It can't be Fulham....? They were good back in the Moussa Dembele, Scott Parker days

dogmeat

Bloody work getting in the way of a quiz. The Arsenal question was easy

Coventry?

Bovidae

@dogmeat You should have stopped with your guesses. 😉

NARRICH

Yes we have a winner. 3rd in 92/93 then went on to knock Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Cup. Glory days. Ruel Fox went on to star at Newcastle and Chris Sutton won the title with Blackburn and is all over the radio these days.

And ironically back in the EPL next season

If the top 6 each season were given the points 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 for positions 1-6, list the top 10 clubs in order. (The top club has 218 points and the 10th has 20 points)

  1. Manchester United 218
  2. Manchester City 92

Complete the rest.

@kiwipie

Arsenal presumably 2 and Chelsea 3. Maybe Liverpool 4, Everton 6? Spurs 7? Leicester sneaking in at 10.

@kiwipie Spurs at 6, Everton 7

  4. Liverpool 113
  5. Manchester City 92
  6. Spurs 44

And so you don't guess every position for them, Everton are in 12th - they don't call the battle for 7th place The Everton Cup for nothing.

canefan

@kiwipie How about Leicester at 7 then? They've had a number of great or good years, and the drop off will be steep from here I reckon

11th with 14 points - one title and 2 5th place finishes.

Cyclops

What about rovers at 10? Won in the early years of the EPL and maybe a few other decent finishes before they got dropped out.

They are in the top 10 but higher than 10th.

@kiwipie

Okay let's try 7 Rovers, 8 Aston Villa, 9 Leeds and 10 Newcastle

You have the other 3, just the wrong positions.

@kiwipie Rovers in 8. They've been away for some time now. Villa at 10, Newcastle in 7

i followed rovers for ages, no way they can be higher than 8th

Cyclops

@kiwipie

Must be 7 Newcastle, 8 Rovers, 10 Villas.

Out of interest, where do West Ham come in this? Newcastle have a better record than I realised.

Kiwiwomble

@cyclops i was just going to suggest that same order

  5. Manchester City 92
  6. Spurs 44
  7. Newcastle 37
  8. Blackburn 25
  9. Leeds 22
  10. Aston Villa 20

West Ham have the 6th they just achieved and a 5th back in 1998/99. So their rank is 15th below Forest and Norwich. Newcastle were runners-up to United for 2 consecutive seasons and also have 2 third finishes.

Final question for the day!

If the European Super League "Big Six" were decided using this scoring method after the first 10 seasons of EPL, who would be in the 6?

Cyclops

@kiwipie

Hmm I can't remember when Abramovich bought Chelsea.

So Man u and Arsenal the obvious options. Rovers, Leeds, Villa and Newcastle my pick for the others.

Nope, 8th behind Villa in 7th.

Can't be Spurs. Too many dire years

Not a single top 6 finish in the first 10 years of EPL.

Manchester United
Arsenal
Newcastle
Leeds
Blackburn

Yes Liverpool it is - but nobody had said it until then.

That's all for today - but who is interested in entering my Euros competition? Should be launched towards the end of the week. For Euro 2016, @dogmeat was 3rd out of 28 so it is pretty easy to do well (I was 2nd).
