How the fuck do you work that out?
I would assume that most teams have played Portsmouth at least once due to us being over half way through the season
So it would only be a three point gain to anyone who has not played them a second time yet
Providing spurs and villa had only played them once...worst case we would drop to 6th on better GD than Villa with spurs in 5th 2 points ahead...we would still have the game in hand...Birmingham currently in 8th would have no bearing whatsoever
You're right it would be 6th but the bottom line is we would then be 6 points behind Liverpool because they will not get any points deducted as they lost to Pompey. And we would be 5 points behind Arsenal who would fall down to 4th.
At the top the teams would lose:
Chelsea - 3 pts
Man United - 6 pts
Arsenal - 6 pts
Liverpool - 0 pts
Man City - 6 pts
Spurs - 3 pts
Villa - 3 pts
So the table would look like this:
1. Chelsea 55 pts
2. Man united 50 pts
3. Liverpool 44 pts
4. Arsenal 43 pts
5. Spurs 40 pts
6. Man City 38 pts
7. Villa 38 pts
Thinking about it some more... there is no way this will happen because look who would drop 5 points behind Chelsea. :)
Can you imagine the Nuclear Fallout from Baconface's explosion if this was to happen? And Arsenal would be hit relatively badly as well dropping from 3rd to 4th....
