How vigorously would you celebrate a points per game title mate? I’d laugh at you for the rest of eternity personally.

No way am I clicking that.

Nothing spammy, basically saying Sheff Utd would get a Euro spot on PPG basis and Arsenal would finish above Spurs, the brethren being top and the current bottom 3 would stay same

That's inherently not fair.

Not everyone has played the same teams yet. It's a ridiculous idea.

It really is. I can't remember if it actually applies to anyone this year but imagine being a team who'd had an awful first half of the season but were in great form and had bought half a new team in January, only to be told it was irrelevant because you were going down based on your early form. It's completely lacking integrity.

Points per game is not keeping the Integrity of the competition.

Not being funny mate, but you support the best team probably in world football right now. Your winning titles, domestic cups and playing some of the best football the country has seen since Arsenal in their pomp.

You have the most coveted manager in world football and are always favourites to win the Champions League, which you might still win this season if it ever returns. You made history under a year ago by winning a unique domestic treble.

You have virtually any player in world football wanting to join you and you can afford them.

Yet all you seem to do is moan about how awful it is.

This is the greatest era in Man City's history. Why not sit back, and enjoy it?

Please see my reply to the post after yours.

If Premier League decided by points per game
* Sheff Utd would go from 7th to 6th, leapfrogging Wolves
* Arsenal would go from 9th to 8th, finishing above Spurs for first time in four years
Otherwise unchanged
* Liverpool 1st
* Bournemouth, Norwich, Villa still in relegation zone

@martynziegler
Hearing UEFA's executive committee has just decided that if leagues do not finish then qualification for Champions League/Europa League should be on sporting merit (which sounds like points per game)

You can't change the criteria for winning the league with a quarter of the games still to be played you absolute maniac.

Not unless you really like asterisks.

Prayers needed please lads. As a few will know I posted a few weeks ago on this thread about the irrelevance of finishing this season in the context of the COVID impact on our ordinary family with some members voluntarily serving on frontline in NHS. Well our worst fears are now with us for real. My sister in law was diagnosed with COVID earlier this week at the Cheshire hospital where she works. Her condition has worsened dramatically since. She’s a mum of 2 young evertonians and she’s super fit and healthy. Paramedics treated her today and so now it’s over to Mother Nature and prayers for next 48 hours.

Horrible news that mate. Hope she pulls through.

Doubt he will be allowed to play behind closed doors, should it happen

They don't care one jot about asterisks. Not one single jot.
They just want Liverpool to 'win' it so the PL & SKY TV gravy train continues to roll.
The media will airbrush the asterisks out in no time whatsoever. They will be gone
in short order. The media narrative will be that this is a fair & legitimate way to finish the
season and Liverpool have rightfully 'won' it. They will eventually have the 'trophy lift' moment
and I hate to say it but eventually they will also have the open top bus parade around your city.
Everything else will be ignored and the corruption (as per VAR) will continue the staus quo.
They will also claim and be given the records for the highest number of points, goals scored etc. etc.
They will be fully legitimized and will go down as being real. The game is a busted flush. Pure & simple.
