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
- Hull City A.F.C. Historical
- Hull City A.F.C. Recent
- 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.
- 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:
Preston North EndAston VillaWolverhampton WanderersBlackburn RoversBolton WanderersWest Bromwich AlbionAccringtonEvertonBurnleyDerby CountyNotts CountyStoke City F.C.
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.
These pages should be prioritised:
- History of Arsenal F.C. (1886–1966)
- History of Aston Villa F.C. (1961–present) - needs graph adapted from Image:Aston Villa FC League Performance 1889-2008.PNG
- History of Bradford City A.F.C.
- History of Gillingham F.C.
- History of Ipswich Town F.C.
- History of Norwich City F.C.
History of Stoke City F.C.
