    I've looked at two possible changes to the current points structure.

    1. Win = 4pts, score draw = 2pts, no-score draw = 1pt, Loss = 0pts (duh!)

    2. Win = 4pts, draw with >3gls = 2pts, draw with <3gls = 1pt, Loss = 0 pts.

    Applying them to the current table yields little or no change in league positions, though obviously sides would be expected to modify their game plan in the event of an amended points structure.

    In scenario 1, the table looks thus:

    Man Utd
    Chelsea
    Arsenal
    Liverpool
    Bolton
    Everton
    Reading
    Spurs
    Portsmouth
    Blackburn
    Newcastle
    Middlesbrough
    Aston Villa
    Fulham
    Wigan
    Sheff Utd
    Man City
    Charlton
    West Ham +1
    Watford -1

    Scenario 2 yields slightly more change:

    Man Utd
    Chelsea
    Arsenal
    Liverpool
    Bolton
    Reading +1
    Everton -1
    Portsmouth +1
    Spurs -1
    Blackburn
    Newcastle
    Middlesbrough
    Fulham +1
    Aston Villa -1
    Wigan
    Sheff Utd
    Man City
    Charlton
    West Ham +1
    Watford -1

    Full spreadsheet attached

    that actually is more interesting, but as you say it would probably be very different table if those rules were actually in.

    One of the guys in work is always going on about how the 6 nations rugby table would look if they had the same bonus point rule as the Heneiken Cup. Teams play differently depending on the rules that are in though so you just wouldn't know how it would play out until the rule was brought in..

    I think you're all getting carried away here.

    This is just open for discussion in the football league. Nothing has been set in motion at all so its really a nothing story by the beeb.

    The system proposed, as far as I know is that you get 3pts for a win and 1 for a draw. Then you have a penalty shoot out and the winner gets a bonus point.

    Seems a ridiculous idea to me.
