Gooner42 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I did a search on this subject and couldn't find anything, so apologies to anyone who gets annoyed by this post. Does it not matter in the Spanish League? I'm currently lying second behind Valencia, tied on 66 points each yet I have +43 GD to their +33... so shouldn't I be first? I ended up fourth last season due to this aswell, which was really annoying! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I believe in Spain they take head-to-head results into account first so if you've lost to Valencia that'll be why you're behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner42 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah I thought it may have been something like that, but checking past results I've won all league games against them, which makes it even more strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hmm, goals scored? goals against? games won? games lost? I can't think of anything else and I was sure it was done on a head-to-head basis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner42 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 They've won one more game than I have, I have more goals for but also more goals against. So it must be something to do with that I guess. It's just really annoying when you don't get into the CL, even though you have a superior GD lol.

aaberdeenn Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Have a look at the league rules, that'll explain all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Are you and Valencia the only 2 teams on 66 points or does the 3rd team have the same number of points? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoopy D Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 According to the league rules : Results between teams, Goal Difference, Goals scored is how they sort teams so that'll be it I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner42 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 League sorting rules = results between teams, goal difference and goals scored. jod123, the 3rd placed team is ten points behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner42 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Got to it before me Whoopy, I'll just have to make sure I beat them on our next encounter then and the same thing that happened last season doesn't occur again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis999 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Tossing of a coin, anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwityke Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Tossing of a coin, anyone? This was close to happening one year! As both teams couldn't be seperated other than by Alphabetical order right until the last game of the season. It was in some random league but it made me chuckle.
