Robbie Savages Brum's Promroiship Hopes

Arsenal may have returned to the top of the Premiership, but the gap between Manchester United and Arsenal widened in Round 6 of the Promroiship (formerly the PRoBrum MOTD Running Order Index). Despite being first on MOTD, Arsenal's match had two more goals which left the Red Devils with more Promroiship points than their Premiership title rival.

When Robbie Savage first left Birmingham, the Blues were relegated that season from the Premiership (does anyone know if Derby is closer to Wales?). His return to St. Andrews yesterday saw Birmingham return to the bottom three in the Premiership, and drop another two places in the Promroiship after leading the competition for much of January. Playing Derby is a curse on MOTD as it seems to be a no-brainer amongst the programme's producers to put them on last, despite a nil-nil bore draw yesterday between Blackburn and Everton yesterday; indeed Derby are romping the Gubbometer. However, amazingly Villa prop up the Promroiship after missing yet another Saturday kick-off. I am starting to wonder if the entire north half of the city have become Seventh Day Adventists.

A reminder, Promroiship points are calculated as follows:

Last weeks points + (Points for position in the MOTD Running Order - Number of Goals in Match)*number of matches on MOTD.
