POMPEY-LESS PREMIER LEAGUE
In a story featured on Sky Sports regarding Portsmouth, it states "any teams that had taken points off Portsmouth would lose them, leaving the table with a new look and reducing the relegation places to two." Please could you show how the Premier League table will look if Portsmouth cease to exist and the Premier League table is rearranged? Thanks, Karl
MARTIN SAYS: At this stage, all of this is hypothetical, but we have calculated how the table would look if all of Portsmouth's results were removed. At the bottom end of the table, West Ham would drop from 14th to 16th but still outside the relegation zone, while Wigan - who were beaten 4-0 by Pompey - would rise from 16th to 15th.

At the top, Manchester United would lose six points (and a goal difference of eight) and go four points behind Chelsea while Arsenal would also lose six points and end up nine points behind the leaders. Liverpool, who lost to Portsmouth at Fratton Park, would close the gap on Arsenal to two points, while Man City would lose six points and fall from fourth to sixth.

Premier League table with Portsmouth's points removed:

The bookies now have City as slight favourites for fourth with us at 7/4 and them at 13/8.

For the 1st time this season i think we may not finish in the top 4. Beating Chelsea away will give them massive confidence going into every remaining match.

Hopefully their inconsistency will return soon!

Unless Portsmouth get out of business.

I can't see that happening anyway and the outrage it will cause. The Premier League just don't have the balls to do something like this.
