So who plays where... (Leagues)

They say its not what you know, its who you know. So before we discuss the nitty gritty of the rules, including covering the oh so dreaded offside rule, lets get the basic’s out of the way.
There are four divisions in the English football League:

  • The Premiership - The best league in English football, home to the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Think of these like your designer clothes, your Jimmy Choo’s and Alexander Wang’s of the world. This is the league that every team wants to be in, and just like your top fashion designers, teams can make a fortune from being there. This is the league most likely to be shown on TV, with Sky Sports showing matches every week.
  • The Championship - The league just below the Premiership. Its still got some of the class of your top designers, but isn't worth as much. Think of it as your designer section in your department store. 
  • Then there’s League One -This league is your highstreet stores. Your Topshop's and New Look's. Its not too expensive, but its not cheap as chips 
  • And finally League Two - the bottom professional league in England. It is your Primark, from here the only way teams want to go is up. Its not bad for a season or two, like the buttons on your new Primark duffle coat.
