Should be Barclays Division One

pronounced 'pre-miership', I hope.

I'm not saying that beating Wolves was bigger..... i'm saying it can't have such a huge euphoric impact as its been coming over 3/4 of a season, rather than just one 90 minute game.

You can see it on here daily..... everyone is wanting that "moment" where its sealed.... but we're not really going to get that..... it was more or less done a couple of weeks ago..... today its done (but not mathematically).

As for not being bothered whether we win the league or not.... i stand by that..... fantastic if we do, but is anyone going to call this a "bad season" if Ipswich finish above us? Who cares.

What scenario can you see that makes you think Ipswich finish above us

We tank, they don't... and they have 2 games in hand.
You asked

 

[Briles]

Nope. Not yet.

You asked

Yeah how much is a tank, and how much do they not?

You think we win less than 2 games and they win all 6?

'Renewable oilseed energy' turns out to be a euphemism for 'laundered Russian assets'.

Ipswich finish strong, and we draw 2 or 3 of our remaining games.

Not beyond the realms of possibility.

Finish strong? So you expect them to win at least 5?

There's an important trophy and a permanent place in the record books up for grabs. So yes I care, and it will mean at least as much to me as progressing to the Prem (which let's be honest has turned out to be just a short-lived nightmare for some clubs).

Not the best day of my City supporting life.

Not the worst day of my City supporting life.

Definitely the weirdest day of my City supporting life.

I was home contemplating the dropping of two points, watching the results come in rather lethargically wondering when it would actually happen...Then Chaplin scored.

I'm somewhat drunk now.

It's done.
We know it's done.
We don't need the P.
It's done.

Bed for me now. I'm also done.

Should be Barclays Division One

One of my earliest football memories is that being said (Barclays League Division One) in the posh Grandstand classified results voice. That and the vidiprinter noise.

Out of curiosity, what was the best day?

Wrexham game, maximum publicity

 

[MTK]

It's happening a +33 goal difference is not being bettered in 4 games. Enjoy it now and when it is official.

I have been enjoying it and quietly celebrating. It’s a wonderful feeling. I’m just saving the jumping around for Friday night!

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Until club put out that WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE post, it’s on ice.

We are promoted . Its 100 % .

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

What about millwall?

Leave them!!! (We can't save everyone)

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

I’m happy to save the big celebrations until we lift the Championship trophy. I’m confident Lampard will get the boys scoring and winning again. Quite a bit of pressure has now been removed and we should all enjoy these last 4 games.

What I do hope happens on Monday morning is for Doug to leave Deano a memo saying full steam ahead on Prem recruitment, we have £100m+ to spend …..

One six o five one nine eight seven.

What's your's?

My worst, before you ask, is impossible to solidify to a single day. Just the slow creeping dread of the SISU years. If I had to pick a date it would probably be something to do with Wasps.

Not sure Blackburn fans would appreciate that.

I mean it’s quite literally not and we aren’t it’s like 99.99%

 

[Paxman II]

Irony of ironies that Conor Chaplin confirms our promotion after a very poor performance from us. As Jimmy Greaves would say... "Footballs a funny old game"

 

[Calista]

I mean it’s quite literally not and we aren’t it’s like 99.99%

It needs a lot more 9's than that. I reckon Opta could run those simulations of theirs hundreds of thousands of times and still not have Millwall overtake us.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

I can't celebrate until we're 100% over the line. I mean, I know we're promoted, it's almost a dead cert but it's not totally done and dusted. Quite frankly, I need it definitively confirmed before I break out the Southern Comfort and get ludicrously drunk and start a fire in my garden and undercook sausages on it and then drink some more and strip half naked and start slagging off the neighbours for saying I'm making too much noise and then regaling the wife with stories about football in the 90s before urinating behind the tree in the garden while singing loudly about putting cats in bins.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I mean it’s quite literally not and we aren’t it’s like 99.99%

I would say it's more than 99.99% but not 100%.
How many times would you have to play out the final 4 matches for Millwall and Coventry until a scenario where they overtake us happens? Arguably millions or billions before that one occasion where we lose all matches 5-0 and millwall win all there's 4-0.

0.01% implies a probability of 1 in 10,000 which I think is not realistic.

 

[Perryccfc]

I know we’re promoted. I’m telling anyone that’ll listen we’re promoted. My partner is already sick of me talking about it, so I phoned my mum to tell her we were promoted.

But I still just don’t feel like I can celebrate until it’s 100% official and our name has a P next to it in the table. Strange feeling.

So just a normal Friday night then

[Calista]

What are the odds of Millwall winning a given game by 4 clear goals - say 15 to 1? Similar for us losing by 4 clear goals? Conservative estimates I reckon. It would require those outcomes to happen 8 times.

Maybe someone better at maths than me can validate that logic, but it looks like about two and a half billion to one? Even if my method is wildly wrong, it must be a really huge number. It's not hundreds or even single figure thousands.

Yet people who were crowing about promotion at Christmas (when it was not even close to being sorted) are refusing to celebrate now that it's done

C'mon, we're there. We might not win the league, but seriously, we will be playing in the PL next year.

Get the firelighters out!
