Trivial thing that makes me Surly: Why do we segment the "Premier League" from the rest of 100 years of English football?

good question - i guess the brits distinguish the Prem era from everything that came before the same way we tend to think about College titles with the AP poll and Minnesota in '36

I look forward to comparing the Premier League stats with The Oil League stats.
