The Magic Number...

[ahboyblue06]

Three away matches on the trot to The Sheep, Cardif and Brum could be a spanner in the works.

I can't see why we won't be in with a shout though. It's not like there are many teams in the play-off mix currently playing any better or more consistent than us.

Cud be a massive spanner seemin Tho Brum are in the Premier

There isn't anything there. I think the business they were trying to get going failed to take off.
Three members of this site registered using magicnumbers.info email addresses - but I think they were all the same person, who had previously used a different name.
Sadly he died in a car crash in South America :icon_wink

I've definitely missed this one.

I just thought you'd misspelled Brom for Brum...

4 points from the last two games has left us in a decent position, and I still think 70 will be enough to get us 6th.

7 home games, 9 away games, 23 points needed (possibly).
That's 6 wins, 5 draws, 5 defeats
Or 7 wins, 2 draws, 7 defeats
Or other combinations, but you get the point...

Plymouth (a)
Doncaster (a)
Nottm Forest (h)
Sheff Wed (a)
Cardiff (h)
Crystal Palace (a)
Coventry (h)
Reading (h)
Derby (a)
Cardiff (a)
West Brom (a)
QPR (h)
Peterborough (a)
Watford (h)
Preston (a)
Middlesbrough (h)

Middlesbrough (h) 1pt

That's 21 points, just slipping out. Though a win against Middlesbrough might see us slip in :icon_wink

 

[LCFCmonkey]

I think we'll be looking at another 24 points from the remaining game.

I'm not sure if it would or not. If Pompey go out of business, do the next three go down, or do only two get relegated? Actually, you're right, only two would get relegated. I'm an idiot. Although the point still stands for Cardiff getting docked points.

If Pompey cease to exist completely, as opposed to being reborn out of administration, then 3 go up but the Championship will still need an extra club as only 2 will come down, unless 3 come down + Pompey cease to exist.

Presumably one of the relegated Championship clubs would be reprieved.

Thats the key to our season. I honestly think those 3 games will make or break it.

Close this thread please as I have the answer. According to some stupid advert for something or other on the telly(no idea what ), 3 is the magic number. :icon_wink

 

[FantasyFox]

Don't close it, there is no evidence that the advert has reached a conclusion on the answer to the query using an acceptable scientific method. The advert could be a load of bollocks made up by some pimple faced little ****er with nothing better to do with his time than masturbate and spread unbelievable lies in an unsuccessful attempt to gain kudos.

We are going to sign Rivaldo. I saw him buying cotton wool buds at Asda's.

We all know the only reason Brazilian men buy cotton wool buds, don't we. The grotty little ****er. I hope he washes his hands.

And if the 22nd Championship team get a reprieve, then League 1 will need an extra team, and so on...it'll go all the way down to the lower leagues, until wherever they place the reformed Portsmouth FC.

It looks like chester are going to be forced out of the Conference, would make sense to put the reformed Pompey there to keep things reasonably simple.

This is profoundly stupid for so many reasons

 

[jb5000]

Good point...

 

[LCFCmonkey]

So if Chester go missing, the Conference would still need an extra team.

The non-league leagues are well used to making up for clubs going under though, seems to be a good few a season over the last few years.
