The Premiership ends

With Manchester United and Chelsea in the top two. The chart shows the points obtained by various league positions, and I think supports the idea that it is getting more polarised. The top 2 (the blue lines) now get 5 more than they did - the break seems to come around 2003, though it's not consistent (the maximum points a team can get is 114). The 3rd and 4th place teams (yellow) have gained slightly, whilst 5th to 10th have held steady. The trends at the bottom end are less clear - basically the bottom 10 or so teams have lost a tiny amount of points each. The variation is quite large, however, the 100 points the bottom 3 got this year was the highest since 1999.
