Final league tables

The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at website and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79, with home and away statistics separated.
Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average, or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season. From the 1922–23 season, re-election was required of the bottom two teams of both Third Division North and Third Division South.
Eight teams, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, Everton, Chesterfield, Lincoln City, Tranmere Rovers and Crystal Palace all scored over 100 goals. This is the most in Football League history.
Arsenal scored 60 away goals, the most to this day, while the 128 goals scored by Aston Villa remains a top flight record, and a record for any 42 game season.
