If the Premiership awarded only two points for a win, would any of its Champions have been different?

Excellent question! I did my own research and yes, there would be some changes, although it only involved the title once, in 1995, and affected 5 relegations. \n\nThey are:\n1)1982 - Stoke would be relegated, instead of Leeds. \n\n2)1985 - Coventry would go down, instead of Norwich.\n\n3)1993 - Oldham, and not Palace, would go down.\n\n4)1994 - Southampton would go down, instead of Sheff Utd.\n\n5)1995 - No title for Jack Walker, Man Utd would pip Blackburn on goal difference.\n\n6)1997 - Despite a 3 point penalty, Boro would stay up, and send 13th place Blackburn down.

Good idea! And i have something to add there:\n\nWhat about giving 3 points for an away victory, but just 2 points to a home victory?\n\nTogether with your rule, this would be a break-trough in soccer...\n\nCheers

It should.  It's a silly question because the answer is pure speculation.  With football/soccer, fortunes change overnight and a team that may be a guaranteed win might lose for no apparent reason.  There's no way anyone can know who will win.  Plus, the question gets asked like five times a day and enough is enough.

Yes...i think this season you will do it, you should certainly win the Championship. I bought a DVD at the weekend of my mighty team....(dont laugh) SOUTHAMPTON beating Man U back in 1976, it was a great game, and wonderful to watch again, knowing that we beat you.  Dont slate me, cant help who we support, and my cousin is married to Danny Wallace who used to play for and still lives in Manchester, so I want your points.   Thanks.

It didn't....\n\nThe Premiership started in the 1992-93 season, but before that it was always called Football League Division One. The clubs in it started the Premiership in order to brake away from the control of the Football League and enable them  to negotiate their own TV deals with Sky.\n\nSo, after the split , what was once the old Football League Division Two effectively now became the  top division of the Football League..and was promptly re-named Division One (similarly Division Three now became Divison Two, and Division Four became Division Three)\n\nThen, a couple of years ago, in order to try and jazz it up and  make the Football League more marketable commercially, Division One was re-named again as "The Championship", Division Two was re-named as "League One", and Division Three re-named as "League Two".\n\nConfusing, ain't it?

whichever team that scores more goals will be the winner although both have the same number of goal difference. if the results between them is the same, the team which scored more away goals will win. \n\nif the winner from all of these criteria cannot be separated, then the possibility of a single play-off match could be used.

Real Madrid lost to Arsenal, Chelsea Lost to Barcelona and Liverpool lost to an italian club. Basically the better team won.

Cracking Question, Cold Ale..!\nYou will have to put me out of my misery!\n\nI have racked my pretty knowledgable football brain and know of at least three players that played for all the teams mentioned but not necessarily meet the requirements of the question, Alex Scott, Andy Gray and Stuart McCall all jump to mind.

Yes, the rule was changed after the Liverpool situation last year. Arsenal would go in as the 4th English side in the Champs Lge, and the side that finish 4th (prob Spurs) will go in the UEFA Cup.

IF HIS TEAM WINNING..\nHE WILL BE RATED A GOOD CAPTAIN.\nIF THE TEAM DOESN'T..\nIT WILL BE A DIFFERENT STORY.\nSO..THE VICTORY ONLY DECIDES THE CAPTAIN'S PERFORMANCE.

david may was not a premiership winner with 2 different clubs. he left blackburn the summer before they won the premiership. Henning Berg is the only one to win it with two different clubs (Blackburn 1995, Manchester United 1997, 1999, 2000)
