The English Premership Explained

With all the rumours circulating the English press lately about all of Europe’s top teams all joining together to make a European Super League I thought it would be ideal to write about the current best league in the world, The Premier League.

The old format of the English divisions were simply called Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4. Whether the FA wanted to just change things or wanted to market it differently to appeal to more people I don’t know but for the 1992/1993 season would be the first season the top flight in English football would be known as The Premier League (The Premiership as it’s also known).

The Premiership has continued to grow and grow across the world with its millions of followers and in the 17 seasons it has been going for we have seen only four different winners, Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Chelsea, Manchester United being the most successful of the four winning the title no less than ten times, and look on course to win it again this season.

Before the season starts the FA randomly do a fixture list to run from the start of the season in August, through to the end of the season in May, every team then plays each other twice throughout the season, once at home, and once away, the obviously the team with the most points at the end wins the league. Three teams from the 20 competing in the league will then also be relegated into the Coca Cola Championship.
