This is genius stuff from Ben Mayhew @experimental361. The Football League blogger has worked out what the Championship league table would look like if every match this season had been suddenly ended at the same specific minute.
As he explains: "For example, if every game had finished on 85 minutes, would your team be sitting higher in the table having not conceded all those last-minute equalisers and winners?" You'll need to watch this full screen to work out what's going on:
"Burnley certainly start well, don’t they?" says Ben "It’s also interesting how many crucial goals Birmingham score late on. You’ll notice that I’ve split out home and away records so that you can see where each team’s goals are going in, and also that I haven’t taken Portsmouth’s points deduction into account (given that it isn’t a reflection of their on-field performance).
"I’m aware that I could have done a better job of the video, so just in case it looks horrible I have prepared a backup plan. The following graphic (which clicking will enlarge) shows how the table would look after each 5 minute interval: HERE"
