Agree - I prefer goal diff and goals scored as that is somthing that marks out a quality team over the course of the season. Does this apply in relegation? That is a bigger issue.
Would we have gone down in 1996 if this rule was in place.
Just had to check this. The table finished:-
Southampton -18 38pts
Coventry -18 38pts
MCFC -25 38pts
Looking at those games, Coventry beat us and one was a draw but against Southampton it was a draw and a 2-1 home win for us that would have kept us up.
