Why does the season go on so long

now. The top division used to end somewhere aroundabouts the end of April, and the cup final used to be about May 6 give or take a day or two, and that was allowing for playing four more matches than the current top division players do in the league now.

Spurs finish their league programme this season 24th May, with the cup final at the end of May. At this rate the seasons will soon start to overlap, especially if all the clubs decide they want a mid-season break.

Let`s get on with the cricket season now. I like to keep things traditional.

Joking aside, imagine how late it's going to finish when there's a world cup in December in a few years!

The league ended in April for about 100 years, only the modern fans would not know that.

Ledley's knee surgeon: Football Manager legend - The Barca MSN...... 48-0


The league season hasn't ended around the end of April for about as long as I can remember. Just to check that I wasn't going bonkers, 20 years ago the season ended on 14th May.




Not the 28th May though is it?

Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal. The title decider from all those years ago....

Date? 26th May 1989


Not the 28th clearly, but later than the 'late' finish you're complaining about this season.

Circumstances dictated that game was played late. Cannot remember why, but it was a very unusual season.
