The Title Race 2022/23

[Alfie Budd]

It wouldn't have been a playoff because we beat them home and away.

Head to head record was adopted as an additional tiebreaker by the PL in 2019.
Back in 2012 it was points, goal difference, goals scored and then a playoff.

It won't be easy. But I, unlike many on here, have faith in the team.

It’s not that I lack faith in our team, it’s that I lack faith in all the other teams Arsenal have to play.

I’ve always wondered why ‘Wins’ aren't considered in all of those tiebreakers n’all.

It seems away goals count double if it came down to head to head results now aswell, making a play off even more unlikely.

Would be fun though.

We should let Arsenal beat us 3-1 to keep it alive.

I agree, but honestly, if we win all our games, and they win all their games except the one they lose, then they will have played terrifically over the season and will be worthy champions.
I suspect it'll all be more complicated than that scenario, though.

Brilliant.
Bet he does a great “Manchester City versus Sheffield Wednesday”

Haha, loved to hear him say worstershire sauce.

I don't think 1 win and 2 loss should be rewarded more than 3 draws.

They'll say it's too late but 1 of our tbc games should have been in for Wednesday after the Dippers game, even if only provisionally dependant on cup runs etc.

They do this stuff all the time when it suits the authorities or tv companies.

The run in may derail a proper title challenge which makes a mockery of the competition.

Always thought postponed games should be played ASAP and not shunted to the end of the season!

Brighton and West Ham are both playing midweek that week so not possible unfortunately.

To be fair, our games that were postponed in the aftermath of the Queen’s death (Spurs at home and Arsenal away) were rearranged relatively quickly especially when the World Cup is taken into account and the also considering that both were TV games so the broadcasters had a say in things.
West Ham and Brighton are both playing games postponed following the Queen’s death in that midweek at the start of April. Had either of those clubs been a bit keener to play sooner, we might have been able to fit one of our games in then. But as it stands, neither will be happening until May.
