Do not like Arsenal. Do not like Manchester City. Although both are excellent teams and congratulations to them.
How do I find out who will be part of Barclay’s next time around? For example, I understand Blackburn Rovers will not be. Also, when will the season start again?
Love soccer. Simply do not understand why it is not more popular.
Bolton, Blackburn and Wolverhampton are all relegated, while Reading and Southampton have already been promoted.
However, the playoff between West Ham and Blackpool will determine which will be the next team to join them in the EPL next season. The season normally begins in August.
Hope this helps
Thanks so much for your reply. That was very helpful.
Hope you have a pleasant evening.
Do not let foreign ownership get rid of promotion relegation. It would take the fun out of a wonderful league.
