Talk:2005–06 FA Premier League

Untitled

Sad as it may be, we may as well already write "the 2005/06 Premiership will be won by Chelsea by a margin of at least 15 points, and probably nearer 25".

Yeah, thats why MUFC are 7 points adrift. 202.72.156.52 03:59, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Follow the Scottish league then. :)

Liverpool have won 18 games, not 17

Colour coding

I have restored colour coding and tried to address points raised by Green Tentacle. The CL qualification spots are now in lighter green. I'd like to point out that West Ham's UEFA Cup spot has at least something to do with the league standings, as it's dependent on Liverpool's position (well, at least until the FA Cup final :).

I have included a colour code for Newcastle's Intertoto Cup place, this also has something to do with the league too because usually "the highest ranked team in the FA Premier League who have not qualified for Europe already will usually compete in the Intertoto Cup to try and qualify for the UEFA Cup next season."

Remarks column

Hi guys! I am interested in coming up with another column in the league table to highlight the rewards of each club. Such as "UEFA Champions League group stage" or "UEFA Cup as the FA Cup winner", etc. This is to be done without the colour coding. Can anyone teach me? Thanks. Kiwi8 11:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments on each team

This section is needs to be NPOV'd before it can go up: ed g2s • talk 09:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

1. CHELSEA: Another brilliant season from Jose Mourinho's expensively assembled squad sealed Chelsea's second successive Premiership title, blowing away a late challenge from Manchester United in the process.

2. MANCHESTER UNITED: A late run of strong form suggested that United could pip Chelsea in the Premiership title race, but in the end it was a bridge too far for Sir Alex Ferguson's men. Compensation came in the form of a League Cup triumph.

3. LIVERPOOL: The reds showed their style late on during the season but it never showed evident as they failed to secure 2nd place, losing out by just one point. Congratulations has to go for their emphatic victory in the FA CUP and their ticket to the 3rd round stages of the champions league next season.

4. ARSENAL: Arsenal's 93rd and final season at Highbury saw them fall well behind in the Premiership title race but on the final day of the season they pipped neighbours Tottenham to a Champions League place.

5. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: Martin Jol's side were pipped by Arsenal to a Champions League place on the final day of the season, but fifth place in the final table was the club's highest Premiership finish and guaranteed their first European place for seven years.

6. BLACKBURN ROVERS: After two precarious seasons, Blackburn pulled together and achieved qualification for the UEFA Cup for the third time in five years.

7. NEWCASTLE UNITED: Newcastle's dismal first half of the season cost manager Graeme Souness his job, but their fortunes improved dramatically under caretaker Glenn Roeder and they just missed out on a UEFA Cup place.

8. BOLTON WANDERERS: Another strong showing for Sam Allardyce's Trotters, but this time they couldn't quite finish high enough to achieve European qualification.

9. WEST HAM UNITED: A great Premiership comeback for West Ham saw a ninth-place finish and an F.A Cup final appearence in which they eventually lost to Liverpool, but still qualified for the UEFA Cup as consolation.

10. WIGAN ATHLETIC: In the end Wigan couldn't make it into Europe, but tenth place was still a tremendous Premiership debut for a side who had started the season as most people's favourites for the drop.

11. EVERTON: Erratic form and a shortage of goals counted against Everton and they were unable to get anywhere near last-season's fourth-place finish.

12. FULHAM: Chris Coleman continued to defy the odds as he kept Fulham clear of the drop zone and steered them to a respectable mid table finish.

13. CHARLTON ATHLETIC: Alan Curbishley bowed out after 15 years as Charlton manager with another secure Premiership finish, but left his employers looking for a new man to maintain the club's stability.

14. MIDDLESBROUGH: Dismal mid season form kept Middlesbrough in the bottom half of the table, and a UEFA Cup final defeat against Sevilla denied Steve McClaren the chance of going out on a high after he accepted the England job.

15. MANCHESTER CITY: Stuart Pearce's men had a promising start to the season and looked decent bets for a place in Europe, but a slump in form during the second half of the season left them just three places above the drop zone.

16. ASTON VILLA: David O'Leary's third season at Villa was looking likely to be his last after Villa slipped further down the Premiership table and fans made continued calls for him to be sacked.

17. PORTSMOUTH: Harry Redknapp's return appeared to have been too little too late to save Portsmouth's Premiership status, but a turnaround in fortunes during the final weeks of the season saw them beat the drop and maintain their place in the top flight for the fourth season running.

18. BIRMINGHAM CITY: After four years in the Premiership, Birmingham's luck finally ran out as they went down to the Championship along with neighbours West Bromwich Albion.

19. WEST BROMWICH ALBION: Albion were unable to match last season's great escape and were relegated to the Championship along with neighbours Birmingham.

20. SUNDERLAND: Kevin Ball replaced Mick McCarthy for the final 10 games of the season but was unable to stop Sunderland from going down with a record Premiership low of 15 points, which broke their own record from three seasons earlier.
