10 from 17

Apologies for yesterday's radio silence. I was on the other side of the Pennines, and then, when I got home, I had to take time to savour the details of United's clinching of the Premiership title. Bolton's late equalizer against Chelsea was an especially pleasing aspect of the afternoon. This seems like a good time to update the following table - being, now, a tale of 17 seasons for the four top clubs:

Manchester United: 2/1/1/2/1/1/2/1/1/1/3/1/3/3/2/1/1 (= 1.6)

Arsenal: 4/10/4/12/5/3/1/2/2/2/1/2/1/2/4/4/3 (= 3.6)

Liverpool: 6/6/8/4/3/4/3/7/4/3/2/5/4/5/3/3/4 (= 4.4)

Chelsea: 14/11/14/11/11/6/4/3/5/6/6/4/2/1/1/2/2 (= 6.1)

See if you can spot the odd one out there. Yes, it's easy isn't it? Liverpool. In the last 17 seasons they haven't managed to finish top even once, occasional anticipations of impending greatness notwithstanding.
