That would be the one time in five that they beat us.

Will never happen. And if the Chelsea keeper could catch we wouldn't even have all this bollocks.

Easiest and fairest way would be to decide it by the head to head for this season.
How did that go by the way?
Ag ag ag.

This sounds a bit unfair, but obviously these are the rules.
I think if all the points, goal difference, and goals scored are equal then the next criteria should be the matches between this two teams. We beat them twice this season, so this should mean we were better than them and deserve to be ahead of them in the league. If the games between the two are equal, then the playoff match is a fair decision.
By the way, as far as I know, in Italy when there is that kind of situation, only points matters. If two teams have same amount of points they have to play a playoff to decide who finishes ahead. GD, goals scored etc. doesn't count. This is even if the battle is for first place in the league.

Surely head to head record is fairer?

you would of thought there would be some sort of unilateral rule from fifa or uefa regarding this, as different countries do it differently, in spain I'm pretty sure head to head is the very first thing they look at if points are equal

Head to head isn't obviously fair is it, I mean this is Liverpool we're talking about, there should be endless inquiries before deciding that Liverpool get the spot based on them being hysterical, black armband wearing bindipping cunts

Coin toss on national TV would be acceptable. Players will be on holiday mentally so this'd be most unwelcome.

They'll probably decide it on alphabetical order.

Newcastle are above Norwich based on their head to head results.
why should it be any different at the top end of the table ?

they wouldn't have a playoff for that spot with 1 game left to go, will just be if teams are level at the end of the season.
imagine how depressing that would be for them, a playoff to decide who finishes 18th

This is all moot as it requires Southampton to lose at home to FA CUP finalists Crystal Palace.

Would be typical if all the stuff that had to happen for this to become a reality happened, and then we lost to them.

What happens if there isn't are Euro place at stake and two teams finish level? E.g., two finishing equal 11th.
Do they just split the difference in prize money between finishing 11th and 12th?

If this happened, we could fill our half of Wembley.
Also, the OS would still be a neutral ground at that point.

Scissor, paper, Stones best out of 3??
That's probably fairer than the coin toss at Roots Hall that year...
