The Premier League 2009/10 Thread

1. If there was a playoff in place, Roy Hodgson would not be resting his players with 2 months still left in the season. And, as I'm sure you remember, last season's second half surge from Fulham made the title fight much more interesting......and pulled them in closer to where they eventually finished. And they were only chasing a Europa League spot......imagine the excitement around Craven Cottage if they were STILL in the hunt for a Champions League spot. Many other chasing teams would also be pushing for it. Who's to say that the top 7-8 would be settled with a "few" games to go? There's absolutely no guarantee of it happening consistently.
2. It even works in the lower divisions.
The gap between #1 and #7 (based on 2009-2010 figures) in terms of EPL TV money is not that big.
1. United....£52.996 million from broadcast rights was £167,000 more than Chelsea
2. Chelsea
3. Arsenal....£51.712 million.
4. Manchester City...£49.627 million
5. Tottenham = Man City minus £167,000
6. Liverpool...£48 million
7. Aston Villa...£45.9 million
This season, clubs like Birmingham City, Fulham, Everton or even Blackburn would have this as further impetus to push for that last spot. There's no assurances that the top 7 would be locked up with a "few" games to go. None!
