That's going off real time goal difference so will keep changing. As it stands, yeah.

- Thread starter Pusb1
- Start date
Unless the losses mean we blow a +20-odd GD to the others…. Not gonna happen surely.

Fucksake- just realised that the outlandish permutations needed for us not to be promoted are exactly the kind of nonsense we would subvert to stay up throughout the 80s and 90s. Just want to get this done.
We'd have to lose every game by 2.6 goals AND Boro win every game by 2.6 goals.
So yeah, not going to happen.
Right?
We could be officially promoted on Tuesday night even if Boro win tomorrow.
We will need to win tomorrow and Ipswich will need to lose against Norwich which is quite feasible.
Then Ipswich would need to lose on Tuesday against Portsmouth away, leaving them and Boro with a maximum possible of 87, but they wouldn't both be able to get 87 because they play each other, so in that game what ever the result 87 would be enough to see us promoted.
Millwall can only get 85, Southampton 84, and Hull 83

If we win our next 2 games against Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn and Ipswich don't win either of their next two we would be Championship champions.
There's plenty of permutations. Ipswich have 7 games to play and are 12 points behind us, so 4 wins from 7 just to catch us up on the points we already have. We should beat Sheffield Wednesday. That would mean that they would need 5 wins from 7 just to catch us up.
We have Sheffield Wednesday H, Blackburn A and Portsmouth H next 3 games. If we win all 3 they would need to win all 7 to finish level on points with us. So if they lose to Norwich we need a maximum 2 wins and a draw to celebrate the title at home to Portsmouth.

If Ipswich draw their next 2 games it would put them on 74 points with 5 games to go. If we win our next 2 games we would be on 90 points. That's 16 points ahead of them so it would confirm us as Champions.

Or we could chill out and wait until it happens. Lots of wet knicker twisting going on.

comes to a thread named permutations to complain about people discussing permutations
Not really, it's been pathetic on here for a few weeks.

I mean even if Boro win today they and Millwall are still 10 points behind us with 12 to play, a point isn’t the end of the world tbh

Leics pick up 1 point or less v Pompey and Hull
WBA get 2 points or more v Preston and Watford
Couldnt then catch Pompey, and Bburn need one point v us or Sheff Utd.
Leicester are relegated Tuesday night.

It would be quite nice if Leicester were relegated on the final day of the season, as 2nd May is the 10 year anniversary of them winning the Premier League and it would completely taint that anniversary.

If they don't beat Pompey at the weekend with Hull and Millwall after that I think it will be done before the final day.
