If Leeds lose or draw tonight

englishman abroad said:
Leeds lose to Spuds & draw with Bubbles, but win there other remaining games 47 pts
Spuds win all there remaining games & get to 46 pts & Bubbles win 3 & draw with Leeds 46 pts

Probably get a 1000/1 if you fancy it

If Leeds draw tonight how wold they finish on 47,if they do that they would have to either beat spurs or West Ham 🤣,which would mean either West Ham or spurs couldn’t catch us

I remember the first time we were in League 1 and at the end of the season we were promoted as champions.

The front page of ALS had a black and white photo of a little kid holding aloft a Sunderland scarf with the headline above "WE'RE SAFE!".

Underneath it said "It is now mathematically impossible for Sunderland to be relegated "

Still cracks me up. Going to Southend and seeing us win comprehensively with me da and brother was a highlight.
 
I would say I want a Leeds win to fuck Spurs more but the pressure is all on West Ham to not fuck up and relegate them.

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.

I get it, nicely explained. 👍

I'm no mathematician, but I'd like to know the permutations of Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Leeds, Forest, West Hame and Spurs ALL getting 46 points or better 🤔

If that happens and we go down on 46 points, the sheer Typical Sunderland-ness of it will tear a hole in the fabric of reality.

This thread now has me panicking.

43 points and we play Bournemouth, Everton, Man City, Brentford and Arsenal.

Not a kind run in.

Don't worry mate, if Arsenal still have a chance to win the league on the final day that means you have a guaranteed win given they're proffesional bottlers.
 
Absolute maximum points are: Leeds 52, West Ham 48, Spurs 46. Leeds have to play both Spurs and West Ham,

Assuming they all win their games not involving each other, for Spurs to reach 46 points (our current total) they have to beat Leeds (meaning Leeds maximum goes down to 49).

Leeds play West Ham and if it is a draw West Ham's max is 46, Leeds is 48. If West Ham win their max is 48 and Leeds is 46.

So, as I see it, without involving goal difference, the only way we are mathematically safe this weekend is if Spurs draw or get beat OR we get a point.

I haven't scrutinised every post in this thread so I apologise if this point (sic) has already been made.

My best mate's an Arsenal fan so that would be truly hilarious!
