Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 7, 2013 Just so we can be 17th above Fulham!Seriously though, what would happen if we ended up level pegging with Fulham? What are the criteria it''s decided on? A 39th game show down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted October 7, 2013 I know in the World Cup if two teams have the exact same record at the end of the group stage they will just pull a name out of the hat to choose who goes through. Not sure about Premier League - doubt the situation will ever arise though/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted October 7, 2013 At the top it is a case of goal difference, then goals scoredif the same there is a play offcuriously (or not)mumbo jumbo such as ''assists'' and who ran the quickest in their own half on the left side in the first ten minutes of the second half ,play no part in deciding the winnerso I presume that in the event of similar goal difference, goals scored it would be a play off ... Wembley, perhaps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted October 7, 2013 [quote user="TCCANARY"] I had a friend who called his company Aardvark because he wanted to be first in the ''phone book! [/quote]There are lots of examples of this type of thing, however with the use of search engines more than phone books, things like this are less important.It''s more important these days to have a distinctive mnemonic that is memorable and can be easily found. Classic example "Go Daddy", a name completely irrelevant to what the business does, but easily remembered, searchable and marketable.Anyway, sorry for my little tangent.
