The1970–71 season was the 72nd completed season ofThe Football League.

Arsenal won the league championship at the home of theirNorth London rivals,Tottenham Hotspur, with Ray Kennedy scoring the winner. This would soon be followed by theirFA Cup final tie withLiverpool. They narrowly overcame Leeds to win the league, with a 12-point gap separatingLeeds United from third-placed Tottenham. Wolves and Liverpool joined these two teams in theUEFA Cup.Chelsea missed out on the top five on goal average but compensated for this shortcoming by beatingReal Madrid in theEuropean Cup Winners' Cup.

Burnley andBlackpool (who won this year'sAnglo-Italian Cup) were relegated to the Second Division. Burnley returned from 1973/74 to 1975/76 but it took Blackpool until the2009–10 season to regain their top flight status after a 3–2 victory overCardiff City in the Playoff Final (only to be relegated back after the2010–11 season).

Wilf McGuinness was sacked after 18 unsuccessful months as manager ofManchester United. SirMatt Busby was re-appointed as manager on a temporary basis, but never considered returning to his old job on a permanent basis.Leicester City managerFrank O'Farrell was appointed at the end of the season.

Leicester City andSheffield United were promoted to the First Division.Blackburn Rovers andBolton Wanderers, two of the most famous and historic names inEnglish football, were relegated to the Third Division.

Preston North End andFulham finally had something to shout about by getting promoted to the Second Division.Halifax Town achieved its best ever league position, missing out on the Second Division by one place.Reading,Bury,Doncaster Rovers andGillingham slid into the Fourth Division.

Notts County,Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic,Oldham Athletic andYork City were promoted to the Third Division. The Football League voted for the league's four bottom clubs to maintain their status.

Final league tables and results

[edit]

Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season.[1]

Since theFourth Division was established in the1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply forre-election.[2]
