Wow is there that much difference between the top two teams and everyone else? Congrats on finishing second though!
 
Yes there is a gap of 15 points between Rushden and Arsenal XD

League table is on the previous page mate.
 
Sorry I went for the top two teams coming into this year. From second at 2:1 to 10:1 is a big drop. That is just crazy especially for the EPL.
