Started at a completely arbitrary date. I'm sure Liverpool will still be on top or second no matter when it was started but it just looks very agenda driven to start in 1958

That's official then.
Man Utds 19th doesn't count
Its 1958 because thats when the north/south split in the bottom division was ended.
I guess the people who did the stats felt this was the fairest way of assessing all clubs (as lower league results would be skewed before then because they would all face different teams).

I'm sure the question will get brought up about which is better: average league position or average season points total...
The answer is obvious: average league position because you can collect all of those points in a season and another club could win the title.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And also it's a tenny bit easier to amass points in the lower divisions hence why league positions done on a 1 to 92 basis.

The only reason they have more points is due to the 2 point system when we were dominating.
So you gonna have an open top bus parade?
As if we needed that article to tell us that!!!

Isn't it generally worked out as though your points had been amassed as 3 points for a win, otherwise the points obviously mean nothing.
