Most countries these days use Head to Head to decide teams on level points, only using Goal Difference as a secondary factor in case of a tie. We have done the double over Chesterfield (and potentially Barnet too) yet could get relegated with an inferior goal difference. Do you think England should move into line with the rest of the world? Regardless of our situation this season it does seem a fairer system.

I disagree, a league is played over 46 games and goal difference is a better and fairer indicator of performance over the entire season.

I agree , it's a much fairer system. It's also a lot better than the previous system which was " goal average " and I seem to recall we were once relegated because we had an inferior "goal average" of 0.008 of a goal !

I'm with you on this one LCL.  After all, we invented the bloody game.

Oh yeah, and we won the world cup in 66  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Goal difference, if it ain't broke don't fix it, like with penos go back to taking one after another none of this I take two you take two bull crap


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

GD is fairer in that it represents a larger spread of games.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yeah... last day of the 1967-8 season when we beat Swindon 3-2 ( and Mansfield I think it was, escaped the drop from Division 3 to Division 4 )
