That's when I get the playing dates from the Premier League. The whole thing is built up putting in the international dates from FIFA, then the European club competitions, then the Football Association adds in the dates for its competitions and what you are left with are the dates when you can play league and League Cup matches.
What is "sequencing"? That's the methodology we use which is all about breaking the season down into a number of constituent parts, which are called sets. We break it down into five sets, which are reversed in the second half of the season. Are there any rules you have to adhere to? There are the "golden rules" of sequencing. In any five matches there should be a split of three home fixtures, two away, or the other way around. Wherever possible a club will not have more than two home or away matches in a row, and will be home and away around FA Cup ties.
If two teams have the same number of points AND the same goal difference, it will come down to who has scored the most goals. If that is the same, the teams will be awarded the same position in the table. Just as the team with the most points becomes the winner of the Premier League, the teams with the least points find themselves at the bottom of the table.
At the end of each football season, three Premier League teams who haven't done well enough will be dropped down into the competition below, which is called the Championship.
This is called being relegated. They will be replaced by three Championship teams who did really well that season, who will get to move up to the Premier League. This is called being promoted. If a team is relegated, it will play in the competition below for the next season. It will have to spend that season fighting to win promotion to get back up into the Premier League for the following year, which isn't easy. Of course, the ultimate goal is to win the Premier League, but for the teams who finish second, third and fourth, all is not lost.
That's because the teams who finish the season in the top four spots earn themselves a place in another competition called the Champions League not to be confused with the Championship, which is the competition beneath the Premier League!
The Champions League is a competition for the best football teams in Europe, so coming in the top four of the Premier League gives the team a chance to play in the most important competition in European football. This means teams playing in both competitions have to play lots more games than some other clubs. The Premier League is the best of the best.
As mentioned earlier, beneath the Premier League is the Championship. Beneath that is League 1, then League 2, then the National League. There are many, many more leagues that continue down from there but it would take a long time to list them all, as there are hundreds of leagues and divisions in the English football league system.
That's the methodology we use which is all about breaking the season down into a number of constituent parts, which are called sets.
We break it down into five sets, which are reversed in the second half of the season. There are the "golden rules" of sequencing. In any five matches there should be a split of three home fixtures, two away or the other way around. A team will never have more than two home or away matches in a row, and, wherever possible, you will be home and away around FA Cup ties.
A club will never start or finish the season with two home or two away matches because it would be unfair for a team to finish with two aways, especially if they are looking for points. Around the Christmas period, if you are at home on Boxing Day you will be away on New Year's Day or the equivalent date and we will also try to maintain a Saturday home-away sequence throughout the season wherever possible.
Most clubs will have a partner club that they cannot clash with. There are the obvious ones - Manchester United and Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton - and then when you get into London it gets a bit more complex and less obvious. Around March, the Premier League sends to each of its member clubs a form asking them to fill in three things: Are there any dates they wish not to be at home?
That is answered in conjunction with the local police. This article was written completely independently, see more details here. What happens if Premier League teams finish level on points? This season, a new head-to-rule was introduced to separate clubs that finished on equal points. Premier League table rules: What happens if teams are level?
