Regarding play offs and league structures in general, I think that in England perhaps a playoff between 3rd and 4th would be better than giving 6th a chance of promotion. Although the current system gives lower teams something to play for in the latter parts of the season. Relegation playoffs shouldn't exist, it's unfair on the team that finishes just above the relegation zone and to potentially be relegated.
The Scottish Football league is really silly, 12 teams each play each other three times initially, meaning that some teams have the advantage of playing more home games than others. Then after 33 games they split the league into two halves, meaning that the team in 6th could potentially struggle, whilst the team in 7th could end up getting more points than the one in 6th but because the two halves are split, the 7th team cannot overtake the 6th team. It also means that there could be an imbalance in some teams home and away game percentages, which it should be 50-50. I don't know much about Scottish football, but perhaps making it simpler like by having each team play the others 4 times a season, twice at home and twice away. Although a 44 game season could be a bit too much.

Sad to see Leicester city get relegated, should have been Everton. Everton Will get relegated next season... you heard it here first They seem to have never been relegated, so maybe, just maybe they would always avoid it.

It is literally one result going against them that would have sent them down. Not scoring against Bournemouth last week would have been enough to relegate themselves. The fact that they were partying on the final day after winning like they won the league was laughable. They only just scraped over the line, for the second consecutive season I believe!

I agree that Everton fans celebrating avoiding relegation was embarrassing, I think any self respecting fan would just breath a sigh of relief and go home quietly and hope for better next season. I would expect some improvement next season under Sean Dyche.

Interesting to see how West Ham will do in the Europa Conference Final tonight, a loss will see Moyes sacked, conveniently so he can go to Celtic

He is quite unique as he's not turning up at Spurs like So Solid Crew with a huge entourage (younger readers, ask your parents ), Conte's crew did a fat lot of good, even when bizarrely some like Stellini were retained when Conte left. The "World Class Managers" are even more higher maintenance than ENR1 on the 318 Conte and co expect to change the squad to their liking with huge wads of cash (good luck making Daniel Levy spend his money ) so it would have never worked at Spurs. Postecoglou is more of an "Existing Bus" manager and can get something out of the knackered stock at Tottenham He's already planning a clearout of at least 9, perhaps even letting Kane go as we've relied on him too much, would like to see some of the younger players like Abbott get a look-in, he did well in the Leeds game. Finally Eric Dier might be sent to Edmonton Garage, iBus equipment and blinds removed Would like to see a Captain who isn't in goal, I never thought this worked for Spurs Really hope that Levy doesn't get impatient and sends him packing before Christmas, like he did to Nuno Nuno was like a nervy Supply Teacher in an Academy, so it was never going to be the right fit The fact Ange Postecoglou signed a 4 year contract, compared to Conte's 12 month rolling (where he always threatened to leave when things started going t*ts up, like at Burnley), and he realizes the state Spurs are in and it will take time... a bit like the task Dartford Garage had to put all the ex Tottenham DW's right before going on the 99 I think Levy won't like the humiliation and teasing by the Press and what's left of his fanbase if he sent this manager packing. I think no Europe might be a blessing in disguise as we've been spread too thin like too little marmalade over too much toast I want to see a manager who doesn't rely on Kane so much and if he can get Richarlison to score an Onside goal without taking his shirt off and doing his 'pigeon' dance, I'll be very impressed

West Ham have won the Europa Conference League www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65826820This means that they are in Europe for the third season in a row. A cup win makes a successful season for West Ham. There were rumours that he could have been sacked had West Ham lost. I do wish that Moyes was given more time at Man Utd, I don't know what they were expecting him to achieve in his first year. Shame about the fans behavior though

I think that some clubs should take note of this win for West Ham, had they sacked Moyes I feel that they would have been dragged closer to the relegation zone. Leeds, Leicester, Spurs and Chelsea all performed worse under new managers and the first two were relegated whilst Spurs and Chelsea had a very below par season

That manager probably would've done really well
