Where is the updated magic number? It’s always a smile on my face when I see How much closer we are, even though we are basically safe now
It's Red and Blue that unites us |

Here you go...target remains at 42 (theoretically speaking of course) due to Saints winning as well...but the gap between what we have and what we need has reduced to 4 points.

Doesnt take into account goal difference though which is effectively another point; so a win on Sat no matter what Saints come up with should be enough.

Not quite sure how you get to this conclusion as the only position that we can go down is 3rd from bottom as we have a 20 goal difference advantage over Stoke and they are not going to overcome that. This means we are really looking at Southampton, Swansea, Huddersfield and West Ham in all probability as one of the teams to go down. Swansea have to play Southampton so only one of those teams can take 9 points and overtake us. Southampton can of course reach 38 points even if they lose to Swansea however their goal difference is 6 goals worse than ours. So by my reckoning we are already probably safe and one more point (39 points) guarantees safety. So, in short 39 points is the target this year not 42.

With goal different 39 should be enough at this stage.

I think you're taking the 42 points too literally and you can see how its derived by looking at the graphic....its a mathematically correct scenario which does not take into account who is playing who and goal difference as covered in the opening post.

Quite so and it was only ever meant to be a bit of fun. It would appear though that your explanation has caused someone in NY to have a brain fart

I know this is just a bit of fun, but it is pretty much a redundant thread. New target: catch Toon, get the top half billing. Merit prize money, attraction to new and current players and a squad finishing the season with their tails in the air. If you add the success of our development squads and the approved massive infrastructure investment, finishing 10th could be a very satisfactory conclusion to a very difficult season.
