If Leeds lose or draw tonight


Surely that has nothing to do with it: Spurs are third bottom and can get a maximum of 46 pts (4 wins) which is what we’re on. If we get a point tomorrow, therefore, we are mathematically safe.

By my reckoning.
If Spurs win their 4 games then that leaves 2 games for Leeds to win to get above us as they play Spurs so that's a loss of out remaining 3 games after tonight.

However 1 of Leeds remaining 2 games is also against West Ham so that means West Ham can only win 3 of of their 4 games, 9 points added to 36 is 45.

It's simple to understand once you grasp it as like a few have said, the 3 teams play each other so all 3 can't get 3 points winning every game so points are lost somewhere.

If Spurs win all of their remaining games and we don't get another point are we not level on points with them?

I still dont see how Leeds vs Burnley changes it. 😅

Spurs would need to beat Leeds and West Ham need at least a draw to get to 46. Which would make it impossible for Leeds to get to 46.

Anyway, GOM reckons we're safe already - he is almost certainly right :lol:

Ha'way Burnley!
 
So if they draw tonight and beat Brentford they would be on 44 points ,if they beat spurs or West Ham ,both can’t catch us ,if they beat West Ham they can’t catch us ,if West Ham and spurs beat Leeds they can’t catch us if they draw with West Ham and beat spurs ,spurs can’t catch us etc etc etc
I’ve read that and feel like I’m rapping.

🎶 they can’t catch us 🎶
