I love the magic number thread, every year by the time it is explained and understood we are pretty much safe, although not by magic number reckoning.

Agreed I enjoy the magic number but I look forward to a season when it is not required. I would prefer to have a target like the Arse did against the Spuds the day when your rivals (for that season) cannot overtake you.

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. Incredible how often you find yourself having to explain this very simple concept! I blame “modern maths”.

After all that stress & worrying, looks like the magic number to stay up was 34 or even 33 looking at Swansea's goal difference.
