Why Tottenham haven’t won the U21 Premier League despite finishing top of the table

In a situation that could only have happened to Spurs, Tottenham finished top of the Under-21 Premier League but failed to become champions
Spurs last won an official trophy in 2008 in the League Cup against Chelsea
‘s last championship was in his 1961, when the reserve team technically won the Top U21 League
The team led by Wayne Barnett in his 20 matches he collected 46 points, won 14 and lost only 2
They were originally supposed to lift the Under-21 Premier League trophy, but unfortunately this was Spurs’ first season with a completely different format
As YouTuber and Spurs podcaster Chris Cowlin pointed out, there is currently no promotion or relegation in Premier League 2
In contrast to his 2 leagues last season, 26 teams will be divided into the same division, with each team playing his 20 games
What is noteworthy is that the championship will be decided through a playoff in which the top 16 teams will compete
As the top seed, Spurs will face 16th-placed Aston Villa in the Round of 16
All playoff duels are one-sided, with the top team in the league having the luxury of playing at home

The final will be held from May 24th to 27th, with the winner receiving the trophy won by Manchester City last season
The top 12 teams in Premier League 2 also qualify for the Premier League International Cup, where they will face other leading teams from Europe
But fans just think it’s typical that Spurs won’t be guaranteed a trophy even if they win the league
One person commented: “This is literally the worst thing in Spurs history
It’s a rule change that prevents them from winning the league
” Another said: “A team that finished last can win the league and it’s a punishment
” “It’s a system that rewards good teams and rewards bad teams
” A third joked: “As often happens, we win the league, but we can’t win the league at the same time
Only Spurs can do that
” Another added: “I wouldn’t be surprised if they get eliminated in the first round, lol” A fifth person tweeted: “Even if the Spurs win something, they won’t win anything (at least not necessarily)
” “
