Pos Team P W D L F A GD Pts

5 Cardiff City 45 19 17 9 65 52 13 74
7 Preston NE 45 20 11 14 64 53 11 71

ok no doupt the formatting won't work, but looking at the league table i noticed how close preston are to cardiff on goal difference (thanks to a nice 6-0 loss to us and a 3-0 loss against ipswich). and points of course.

so what happens IF:
preston win there last game 1-0
and cardiff lose 1-0

- that would make both teams equal on point's, goal difference, goals for / against.

From Sporting Life: "If two or more teams finish level on points, goal difference and goals scored at the end of the season and the championship, a promotion place, play-off place or relegation place is at stake they will then play off to decide who finishes higher."

Would it be the first ever play off to decide a finishing position ?
