Hey everyone, so, the other day I got this itch to look back at some old football stats, you know, just for the fun of it. I decided to dig into the Barclays Premier League table from 2014. Yeah, that’s right, 2014 – a whole decade ago! Time flies, doesn’t it?
First off, I fired up my trusty old computer and started poking around the internet. I wasn’t really sure where to begin, honestly. I mean, it’s not like I do this every day. After a bit of searching, I stumbled upon a few websites that seemed promising. They were talking about the 2013/2014 Premier League season, so I thought, “Bingo! That’s the one.”
I started scrolling through pages and pages of information, trying to find the final table. It took me a while, but I finally found what I was looking for. And guess what? Manchester City were the champions! They finished the season with 86 points after winning their last game 2-0 against West Ham United. I saw some other familiar names too, like Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal – they were all up there in the top spots. It was a close competition for the top 4 at the end of the season.
As I kept browsing, I noticed a bunch of other stuff too – fixtures, results, team stats, you name it. I even found out that the 2013-2014 season was the 22nd in Premier League history. I also found that the Premier League started way back in 1992, and since then, a total of 51 clubs have competed – 49 from England and 2 from Wales. I learned that only 7 teams have ever won the title: Manchester United with a whopping 13 wins, Manchester City with 8, Chelsea with 5, Arsenal with 3, and Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City, and Liverpool each with 1 win. It’s crazy to think about all the history behind this league.
Then I got to thinking, what about the season after that, the 2014-2015 one? So, I did a little more digging. It turns out that was the 23rd season, and it was also called the Barclays Premier League because of some sponsorship deal.
Anyway, I spent a good chunk of my afternoon immersed in all this football nostalgia. It was quite the trip down memory lane. After getting what I wanted I closed all the websites and turned off the computer.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure into the past of the Barclays Premier League. Hope you enjoyed hearing about it!
