Never really paid attention to the fact that La Liga and Serie A does there tie-breakers based on Head to Head results where as the Premier League and other leagues do goal difference. Having watch the Premier League most of my live, I've just always accepted goal difference as the way tie breakers are decided.
Outscoring your opponents and conceding less than your opponents over the course of a season seems more fairer way to break a tie instead of basing it on 2 games with the team you breaking the tie with. On the other hand, it could be argued that since the tiebreak is between 2 teams, results of other teams shouldn't weigh in the decision but rather how you fared against the team you are tied with.
What's the Cafe's preference or rather, what is fairer?
