Promroiship Scoring System Vindicated

We have had to wait 27 rounds, but finally we get a week where it is justified to show the top four in the first four matches on the BBC's flagship footie programme - according to the Promroiship scoring system that is.

With the big four being involved in matches containing 4 to 5 goals each, and the rest being goalless draws, all the teams involved in the Promroiship this week got a comparable number of points and the highest scoring match was the first no score draw shown between Fulham and Sunderland. I have said previously that if the big four were as entertaining as the hype that surrounds them (by the objective measurement of number of goals in matches they are involved in), the Promroiship would take this into account and they would be fighting it out with the rest in an open competition (unlike the Premier League). Manchester United dropped a place after their four goal match only featured fourth on MOTD, with Arsenal and Chelsea also losing ground. Wigan managed to get themselves of the bottom leaving West Ham nearly four points adrift. Liverpool continue to lead the table justifiably given their rather exciting comebacks this season. Will this be the year Liverpool win their first Premier League (and Promroiship) title?
