Would football be fairer if the league was settled on goal difference?

We would still have been relegated. Teams would do all they can to pummel the weaker sides, so those playing NUFC would have targetted us in respect of a club they could score plenty of goals against. We would have seen a lot more results like Liverpool at home. Imagine having to witness that, let alone a shite Newcastle United team every week!!!!
