Because most games do still kick off at 3 pm and the FA reckon that attendances for awesome spectacles like Macclesfield v Grimsby might be even lower if there's a halfway decent match on TV at exactly the same time. Curiously the FA don't appear to believe that the same principle applies to midweek matches. Yeah, beats me as well.

The rules vary by countries, because only the best leagues in Europe have 4 Championship places while others only 2 or 1. But in the case of the Premiere league that you are asking, I quote the Premiere League Web Site:\n\n"The top two sides in the league qualify automatically for the UEFA Champions League. The teams that finish third and fourth qualify for the final qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. The fifth-placed team qualifies for the UEFA Cup, as do the FA Cup winners and the Carling Cup winners. If a club already in Europe wins the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup place goes to the runners-up. If the runners-up are also already in Europe, the place will go to the next highest-placed league team. If the winners of the Carling Cup are already in Europe the UEFA Cup place goes to the next highest-placed league team. \n\nEuropean Places are also available for English teams in the Inter-Toto Cup and via the Fair Play League, where the highest placed team in the Fair Play League that hasn't qualified for Europe by other means is entered into a UEFA draw. If a team is drawn out of the hat they enter the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Cup."\n\nIn summary,  first 2 places of the league directly to Champions League; 3rd and 4th place to the qualifying rounds of the Champions League; 5th place to UEFA cup, as well as the winners of FA Cup and Carling Cup (which are elimination type cups, like US playoffs), which also qualify for UEFA cup.
