What would the league table look like if it was 3 pts for a defeat and 0 pts for a win?

Royal With Cheese Reminds me of an old "Taking the Biscuit" article where the writer took the entire season and added a goal to the Royals in every game and came to the flabbergasting conclusion we would have done better.


What makes this article even more crap is that everyone appears to have done better, i.e. if both teams hit the post in a game that was a 1-1 draw, it's worked out as if both teams won 2-1.

You might as well say that if everyone had scored six goals more per match then we'd have only lost the title on goal difference.

This is incorrect.

It is indeed. I am mortified with shame now.
