I do like the idea of you telling people they don't get football.
League postitions are handed out based on Points, not goals scored.
Hull might concede a lot of goals, (because they're ****) but they have still gotten more points then Pompy, which to me at least tells me that Pompy are worse then Hull.
Goal difference doesn't show you the state of a team in the league, points do.
But mostly games against Man Utd give us the best indication of the quality of a team
