Not quite so boring?

After posting yesterday's effort, I was thinking about what I said, and came up with this idea - how about running the Premiership on a handicap basis? Every team, other than the champions, gets a start based on where they finished last season - the three new promoted teams get 38 points each, and the other teams, up to the runner-up, get points equivalent to double the position they finished in.....or something like that. Or alternatively, but rather more complicated, instead of a standard three points for a win and one for a draw, teams are awarded more or less points based on who they beat or draw with - so for example one of the bottom clubs beating one of the top clubs would be worth more points than them beating a fellow struggler. And I'm struggling here - just anything to add a little interest to what has become, for me at least, a rather dreary oh-God-not-them-again business.
