Excellent point! Actually, the points system was changed so that the winner gets an extra point, so that more teams will go for a win. Football in the 80's and the early 90's especially the leagues across europe was played very negatively. I think the points system should be further modified, so that even draws, especially ones with scorelines like 2-2 or 3-3 are reawrded, as the games are likely to be very interesting!
Just a thought, manu won 27 games against 25 of Chelsea, which can happen only when ypou play attacking football.Again the chances of losing are also bright if you play attacking football as even one goal conceded can turn you the loosing side.
Let me tell you the life ofthe centarl defender is the toughest in all football. There were many great players who graced that position with distinction!
In the current Euro 2008, Puyol, Ramos, Bosingwa( Portugal) , Pepe ( portugal) all played extraordinary games.
So, if a team does not lose, they can at least defend stoutly and not conceded a goal.
That, i think has to be rewarded. In your case chelsea should be rewarded as they are on the same points on the table both at 60 by the old system.
