Lies, damned lies and statistics! But they can be quite revealing, can't they?

I saw a Premier League table today for each team's last 19 games, compiled on the basis that over a 19 game spell it is fair to judge true form.

The table, using only the last 19 games for each team, is as follows:

1 Manchester Utd
P-19 W-13 D-2 L-4 Pts-41

2 Chelsea
P-19 W-12 D-4 L-3 Pts-40

3 Arsenal
P-19 W-12 D-3 L-4 Pts-39

4 Birmingham City
P-19 W-10 D-6 L-3 Pts-36

5= Manchester City
P-19 W-8 D-8 L-3 Pts-32
5= Aston Villa
P-19 W-8 D-8 L-3 Pts-32
