I believe it was Kev who wondered what the table would look like if the matches stopped at 80 minutes. I spent a long while last night doing all these calculations as I sifted through each match to find the results and here is what I have,

Formatting wise, apologies that it looks odd, something with the upload, the first points column is how many points they have now, the second one is how many points they would have if matches end at 80 minutes and the last column shows the points change, red being a loss of points in total.

If many people want me to do that, I will, It takes a lot of time but I'm happy to do that.

I did as well mate, was quite shocked by it. Thought we would be mid table with the amount of last minutes goals we have let in.

Also, the reason we aren't higher is mainly down to the fact that the teams above us have made the same amount or more points as a result of the new change.
