WTF's a "bowl" when it's at home? I mean when do the tops teams meet to determine who is EPL champion? It's a league. The team with the most points wins. |

No, there are things to play for. At the top end, qualification for europe, while teams at the bottom need to avoid the bottom three spots otherwise they get relegated to a lower league. Plus you get prize money that increases with each place. |

Its just a regular game, and maybe they beat some shitty team and the season is only 3/4ths done and now they're league champs, and maybe next week they go out and suck balls and get routed by some team that gets relegated and will play against middle schoolers next season. Has a team ever won the championship and been relegated the very next season? |

Has a team ever won the championship and been relegated the very next season? That's why we have something called the FA Cup. A tournament that runs alongside the league that is straight knock-out. The final is usually the last game of the domestic season. Chelsea beat Man United. And the league is rarely won that early. This season it was won by Man City with ease but even they weren't mathematical champions until close to the end. |

I thought the FA cup was one of the minor leagues that EPL teams get relegated to when they suck. Has a team ever secured the EPL championship then lost every game there after? And what do you call it when a team mathematically secures the championship (which I believe is called the premiership?) I'm interested in learning about Brit soccer so sorry for bombarding you with stupid questions. Just feel free not to answer if you find it tiresome. |

I'm interested in learning about Brit soccer so sorry for bombarding you with stupid questions. Just feel free not to answer if you find it tiresome. The FA Cup is competition every team in the country takes part in (including non-professionals). The big premiership teams don't enter until January (halfway through the season). Don't recall but if they have it would only be a handful of games at best. You're simply referred to as the Champions. Though you don't officially get the title or trophy until the last day. There are currently four professional leagues. 1. Premiership. 2. Championship. 3. League One. 4. League Two. |
