Pennant Fever

We haven't done a Pennant Fever entry in a while, because there just hasn't been much drama in England. The 2010-11 Champions of Man Utd are cruising to a surprisingly easy title. The only drama left is whether Spurs can catch Man City or Chelsea for fourth place:

1. Man Utd: 19-3-9 (66 pts)
2. Arsenal: 17-5-8 (59 pts)
3. Man City: 16-7-8 (56 pts)
4. Chelsea: 16-7-7 (55 pts)
5. Spurs: 13-6-11 (50 pts)

The real drama is at the other end of the table, where there is a desperate scramble to avoid being one of the three bottom teams that is relegated to the second division. No less than 7 teams are at risk:

14. Blackburn Rovers: 9-15-7 (34 pts) (goal difference of -12) (39 goals scored)
15. Birmingham: 7-10-13 (34 pts) (goal difference of -12) (30 goals scored)
16. Aston Villa: 8-13-10 (34 pts) (goal difference of -14)
17. Blackpool: 9-16-6 (33 pts)
18. West Ham Utd: 7-13-11 (32 pts) (goal difference of -15)
19. Wolverhampton Wanderers: 9-17-5 (32 pts) (goal difference of -17)
20. Wigan Athletic: 6-12-13 (31 pts)
