The 11 point cushion to 2nd is starting to look quite handy.

He's surely wearing other people's clothes!

To be fair, you said earlier that it was your first time in block 5. So they did have a valid question.

Yep, EMC is hugely important to this team.

On the face of it, Leicester had the easiest fixture of the relegation-threatened teams, and failed to take any advantage.

Following the Boro / Millwall result, I reckon our chances are climbing well above 80% now 😉

If I've worked it out right, 3 wins and a draw would be enough for us now?

18 blocked.

Good result IMO. The chances Boro missed in this match were scarcely believable.

I never jinx anything to do with CCFC by getting involved with betting. But I definitely get what bookies are up to, which is why yesterday purely out of interest I had an exchange with Ladbrokes which hopefully when promotion has been assured, I will share on here. It completely reinforces what...

Had my licence revoked for incompetence!

Surely the opposite Pete? According to Opta's flawless maths there's less than a 1 in 1600 chance of us failing to be promoted. It's nailed on, making 1/500 brilliant value for promotion, so I presume a number of people on here are grabbing the chance for their free tenner by betting £5000 on it.

What if the next couple of rounds of results weren't to go our way (hardly unimaginable) and the gap went down to about 5 points with 5 games to play? I can just picture the panic on here. I maintain that there's something wrong with that modelling.

Find me odds anything like 1600 to 1.

Garbage in, garbage out...

My maths isn't brilliant, but I make that less than one chance in 1600 that we miss out on promotion? I don't know how their modelling works, but I can't take that seriously. To save anyone the bother of going through all the fixtures again to try and persuade me, there's no need - I agree that...

Your grammar is unforunate there FP 😂

As and when promotion is achieved I imagine you'll say "told you so", which would be completely missing the point 🤷‍♂️ Edit: Opta's prediction implies less than a one in 700 chance of missing out. That's silly.

Yes, I agree it's highly likely. It ain't Opta's 99.5% though IMO.

Sheff Utd, Brum, WBA, Wrexham to name a few more. I'm not anti-stats, I just question why anyone would rely on the power of numbers to predict human behaviour, or the power of the past to predict the future. I mean, people are quoting the forecasts of >98% for the title and virtually 100% for...
