No its not irrelevant, lets say we beat Huddersfield 6-0 and then beat Wolves 3-0 after drawing against Newcastle, if Citeh then lose 1 game 1 nil and win the others by 1 goal then we would beat them on goal difference.
I agree that the most important thing is to win all 3 games but it doesn't hurt to think about the goal difference as well.
In that (not happening) instance, we'd be level on goal difference having scored less so would still lose the title, unless we draw 4-4 with Newcastle and that's assuming City won 1-0, 1-0 (also not happening!).
If City won 2-1, 2-1, we'd have to draw 6 all with Newcastle, so can you please stop convincing yourselves that GD is relevant!
