Football powers

The traditional North-West/South East axis of domination in the top division of English football seems even more pronounced than ever this season, with nine out of the twenty teams from London & the South, and seven from the North West. All but one of the Midlands' top clubs are in the Championship, or worse, (Forest, whose purgatory may come to an end this season) and all but one of Yorkshire's bigger clubs are currently vying with each other for relegation from the Championship.
