I am a Londoner who lives and works as Marketing Director for King's Group in Madrid, Spain. I haven't updated my football league charts recently. If you are interested in making your own graphs of football league positions and other obscure football charts you should leave a message below:
-
Cumulative Goal Difference for
Chelsea F.C. under their various managers and two owners
-
Love them or hate them no doubt
Manchester United's goal difference is very consistent.
-
Everton's Cumulative Goal Difference. Shows a significant change at the end of the 1998-1999 season accumulating a goal difference of nine in the last six matches; this seems to be just before chairman
Peter Johnson resigned and
Bill Kenwright's took over.
-
Spurs' managers get changed quite often
-
Arsenal's
Arsene Wenger's consistency shows quite clearly on this chart
-
Chart showing the cumulative goal difference of
Aston Villa F.C. from the inaugural season of
The Premiere League to October 25 2009
-
Chart showing the cumulative goal difference under different managers of
Liverpool FC from the inaugural season of
The Premiere League to October 22 2009
-
Huddersfield Town F.C. - first club to be updated to 2009
-
-
-
Manchester United F.C. - starts as Newton Heath F.C. in green and gold
-
-
-
Aston Villa F.C.; my first graph showing a club that has played in every season of the English football league system from 1888-89 to 2007-8
-
Preston North End F.C. another club with a long history nicely shown in the rollercoaster shaped graph.
-
Stoke City F.C. red and white striped line reflecting their shirts was a bit of a struggle to make, but worth it I think.
-
Everton F.C. only one trip into the second tier since WWII for The Toffees.
-
Graph showing the cumulative goal difference of
Stoke City F.C. in Football League competitions 1997-2008 under different managers.
-
Wolves F.C. graph shows the three consecutive relegations in 1984, 1985 and 1986 that took them into the fourth tier in the mid-80s.
-
Blackburn Rovers F.C. seem to have an generally upward trend since the early 1970s despite the yo-yo-ing and the impressive spike paid for by Jack Walker.
-
Using small blue dots on each node to reflect the dark blue trim on
Bolton Wanderers F.C.'s kit.
-
WBA's graph replaces
one made by
Jameboy about this time last year.
-
Surprisingly this isn't going to be the smallest graph that I make. The original
Bootle F.C. were in the league for just one season (1893) and an outfit from Essex called
Thames A.F.C. played in two seasons (1930-31 and 1931-32)
-
I had forgotten that
the magpies had almost made it into the Premier League. Sad to see their decline.
-
Burnley F.C.'s graph just leaves (
Derby County) to complete all 12 of the founding clubs in the football league.
-
Derby County F.C. - last graph of the founding league clubs!
-
Struway2 has pointed out the mistake in tier 4 numbers - which I need to correct.
-
Strange graph on the
S.S. Lazio page - Andrea 93 has asked me to help make a new one. :-)
I'll be adding a graph for every club in the top four tiers of the English and Scottish leagues - then I plan to make graphs for clubs in the top tier of the Spanish, French, Italian and German leagues.
The latest version of OpenOffice allows me to export anti-aliased images direct from the charting package - this will help my plans to automate the production of the graphs.
Next on my to-do list are:
Making a graph for your own team - or improving on one that I have made - isn't difficult. I use the charting package included with OpenOffice.org Calc to create the basic graph from a simple spreadsheet then I add labels with the OpenOffice.org drawing package. If you want help getting started or data then message me on my talk page or find me on Statnav.
