Although three points have been awarded for a win since the 1981/82

season, here the old 2-1-0 system has been used throughout, because

in an all-time table it would be unfair to consider a win during the

3-1-0 system worth more points than a win during the 2-1-0 system.

Possible penalty points not counted.

Former names of clubs (first level appearances only):

Arsenal: Woolwich Arsenal

Birmingham City: Small Heath, Birmingham
