You obviously don't know us well. Also I hear if that playoff game is needed they're going to play it at WHL.
I reckon the playoff is stupid. Why the FA don't just decide by the head-to-head and then, if that's even, go to a playoff is beyond me, because that seems the most logical way to go about it.
C.5.

C.6. If any 2 or more Clubs have scored the same number of points and have the samegoal difference the higher or highest placed Club shall be the Club having scored the most goals in League Matches in that Season. C.7. Subject to Rule C.14, if any 2 or more Clubs have scored the same number of points, have the same goal difference and have scored the same number of goals in League Matches in in that Season they shall be deemed to occupy the same position in the table.
Would be interesting to see what would happen if it was between 4th and 5th spot and the champions league though
Oh so is this "playoff" thing just for the champions league situation ahhh, so they'd still be joint 3rds, they're just doing it for the auto stuff
Yeah, the potential play off would just decide who's 3rd and who's 4th. 3rd gets you automatic Champions League qualification and 4th means you have to qualify. I'm not sure whether they'd do it if it decided 9th or 10th though.
It wouldn't decide who gets 3rd and who gets 4th It would be purley champions league situation only edit: im seeing 2 different sets of rules here, one that news sites are saying, that it would be 3rd place and 1 from the official premier league rules which state that they both finish 3rd :/
