It is implemented on head to head in Italy and Spain, (and other countries, too, I’m just naming other big leagues) and I actually prefer it, to be honest. If my team finishes level with another team, but they win the league by one goal, despite my team winning both games against that team. Do you think that is fair, or is it a niche advertisement for the Premier League.
As the example stated above, I think its unfair that you could beat the team twice yet lose b/c you couldn’t score more goals against a lesser team; I find it hard on a team in that respect.
Your thoughts?

Do You Think The Premier League Should Change Its Rules To Head-to-head In League Standings?
Posted on April 13, 2011.
I completely agree its very unfair ,its unfair to tottenham cuz their goal difference doesnt even come close to that of man citys !
I don’t like it…..
It’s a league for a reason, in a league a win should be the same worth as any other win….
For example what if Barcelona and Real Madrid tie with 94 points….. but Barcelona win both El Clasicos but Real Madrid has scored 30 more goals and conceded 20 less, thus a better goal different by +50……
Now Barcelona will win because they did better against one team, as oppose to Real Madrid who did better against the other 18 teams…..
That’s why in a league I think goal difference should count before head-2-head….
