What would happen if ?????

I know this will never probably happen, but how would the title be decided if say;
Arsenal and manure finished on the same points, goal diff, goals for and against, and head to head both games were 0-0.
Would it come down to discipline. (most fouls)
Its been bugging me! can anyone help?!?

Fergusmoan would claim the title and everybody would have to agree with him because Manure would have deserved it more because they are a better team, and if you don't agree then he will blacklist you along with the BBC because you didn't let him get his own way.

and that is what would happen

I think that'd be the scenario but SPUDMASHER isn't too far off

Either my first option or, with the Premierships recent form, they would have a big money play off series 'Best of nine games' at Wembley and make loads of money

Only at Wembley? More like all over the world:

[typical american commentator voice]

We start the play-off series at the home of football, Wemberley. Than we move on to Los Angeles which is the home to Beckhams, David will be the guest referee for the match. It is Tokyo next as Nakamura has a one-off game for Manchester Reds to please the crowd. We are off to sunny Sydney after Tokyo, where they have kangaroos instead of cheer-leaders. Four venues have been decides so far, in the case if London Reds or Manchester Reds are winning 4-0. In that scenario, we will be back to Wemberley for the decider; if it is not the scenario than we will be have an auction for the match in the series. You can't miss out on this! Exclusively live on Sky, all the matches during the series for Â£100 per match or Â£500 for the series.

Didn't they use to do 3rd play off's back in the 70's?

It is by play off at a neutral venue, according to Wikipedia.

what about goal average? it's how we won the league in 1953.

There was talk of this in 2005 when we were close with Surrey United. Read that there would be a play off if points, GD and goals scored were the same.

Goal avergae got replaced by goal difference (and if that is level, goal sscored).

There was a mathematical argument put forward why goal average was "unfair" , but I do not know what it was.

If anyone can explain further would be grateful.

Goal average was replaced by goal difference due to the former's encouragement of lower-scoring games. A team that scores 70 while allowing 40 would have a lesser goal average (1.750) versus another team that scores 69 while allowing 39 (1.769).

Goal average wouldn't work out in the scenario that dodger445 gave anyway; because both teams would have the same amount goals for and against, therefore the same goal average.
