Are we currently below Newcastle because of the alphabet?

Recommended Posts

Same points, same goal diff, same goals for and against.

If we were Bournemouth or Crystal Palace this wouldn''t happen.

And isn''t the difference per Premier League place something like £1.2 million?

I''m not sure how this works!? Maybe down to the matches played against each other and the goal difference in those matches? As said above there is a lot of money difference per league position

[quote user="JF"]I''m not sure how this works!? Maybe down to the matches played against each other and the goal difference in those matches?

If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position.If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank."

We are away to a manager-less Everton whilst Newcastle are at home to Spurs who will want revenge against their home loss. This Sunday will make a big difference to the difference between the two.

So we are equal 18th but the biased media are not showing that.

If we had a strong character at CEO he wouldn''t let them get away with this

This never would have happened if we''d signed someone with a decent grasp of the alphabet...

In the absence of a strong character at CEO I''ve filed an official complaint to the BBC telling them that their web site is incorrect.

It''s important that in these times of need we all step up to do our bit.

We should become AFC Norwich City, and sharpish!!

It is always a bit odd looking at the L2 fixtures, Wimbledon are invariably listed first even if their ''AFC'' is omitted.

Here''s my official response.

 

Dear REDACTED

Thanks for contacting the BBC. This is an automated email acknowledging that we’ve received the attached complaint sent in this name. We’ve attached the case reference and text of the complaint for your records (see below).

We’ll normally include the full text of your complaint to BBC staff in the overnight reports we compile for them about the complaints and other reaction we’ve received today (with all your personal details removed). This ensures it will reach the right people quickly tomorrow morning. We’ll then aim to reply to you within 10 working days, or around 2 weeks, but it also depends on the nature of your complaint and whether the relevant people can respond to us in time.

We aim to use your licence fee as efficiently as we can, so if you complained about the same issues as others we will send our response to you and everyone. For the same reason we may not investigate or reply in great detail if a complaint doesn’t suggest a potential breach of BBC standards, or a significant issue of general importance. You can read about our full complaints procedures and how we consider issues which people raise with us at www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/handle-complaint/.

This acknowledgment is automatically generated from an unmonitored address so please don’t reply. If you think you’ve received this in error please contact us using our webform at www.bbc.co.uk/complaints, quoting your case reference number.

Here are the details of your complaint:

----------

YOUR COMPLAINT:

Complaint Summary: The Premier League Table is wrong

Full Complaint: In the Premier League Table Newcastle and Norwich should both be listed as 18th as per the Premier League rules.

----------

Thank you again for contacting us,

BBC Complaints team

The BBC web site is still wrong, I might have to email Mr Whittingdale as this is a clear case of the BBC not being distinctive.

Should have sent the email to the BOD another to AN and the Pie Man and further emails to each of the £40000 plus players
