I was going to chime in on the goal difference debate, but honestly, what's the point?

And when we finish a point ahead of them they'll actually be drawing with us won't they?

No. Because the "worth an extra point" is only applicable in the one set of circumstances when points are already level.

So with the verdict coming very soon for 115 city , maybe in the next week . If they are found guilty ( crosses fingers)  , I heard one of the punishments would be no europe next season for them.
 So that will be very interesting If found guity as that would be their place up for grabs If they finished top 5 .

Knowing the corrupt @@@@@@  they probably get off , but lets hope some good news.

Chances are with so many teams bunched-up that we may finish level on points with someone else but end-up below them cos our GD is Blose. Fulham have the same points as us currently but are ahead of us cos they've occasionally won by more than the odd goal and can keep clean sheets better.
Similarly Newcastle are in 6th place ahead of Brighton, both on 47 points.

And it's always been Atleti for me - not Atletico or Athletico. I cheered Forlan and Aguero on from crumbling Calderón terraces circa 09-11.

You'll be saying there's no such thing as a 6-pointer next.

Absolutely certain that people who believe goal difference is worth a point also think there's a team in Spain called "Athletico Madrid".
A bit of a tangent I know, but this reminds me when I got corrected many years ago talking with Italians in reference to the Milan clubs.

Ever since then, I have known that it is not correct to say 'AC Milan' or 'Inter Milan'. Italians refer to them as Milan and Inter (or Internazionale in full).  Milan is correct, even though the Italian for the city is Milano.

Saying AC Milan or Inter Milan is like someone here saying 'FC Liverpool' or 'Chelsea London'.

Always annoys me when people say PSV Eindhoven.

It's just PSV.

Although it is Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Cos Rotterdam is anywhere... which reminds me, Nick Banks, nephew of Gordon, drummer in Pulp - was once asked by an excitable Dutch journalist -
"So were you really born in Rotterdam? That's amazing!".
"No luv - it were Rotherham".

We are on the same points, games played etc as Fulham whose manager was really positive on the weekend about their chance of getting into Europe - positivity needed Brothers and Sisters!

Me neither. Quite a good fact, I reckon. I am going to wow the attendees next time I'm invited to a dinner party.
