Performance in the English football league, 1888-2009
A club's points in any specific year represents the average performance of that club over the preceding 5 seasons. 50 points corresponds to the performance of an average club at the highest level of the
league (eg, the Premier League). The points in lower levels of the league are adjusted to take account of how well recently promoted and relegated clubs did at their new level. The coloured shading indicates
a club's lead over the other. Comparisons begin after each club had played 5 seasons. There was no league competition during and just after the two world wars.
