Magic Number Thread

[Greatwesternline]

The main thing is it is giving me memories of threads about the magic number from back in 2006. And back then i wasn't even a member so didnt even know AE existed. For better or worse for the board.

Yeah, we'll never recapture those halcyon days of the magic number and rougeometer

I still have psychodelic flashbacks to the Rougeometer

I miss Gordy refusing to believe we'd win the league despite being miles ahead.

Presumably RIP

TBF the 2006 magic number thread was only for winning the league, that's easy to comprehend so we didn't have people not getting it, but congratulations to Mid Sussex Royal for being this year's "winner"

Birmingham spending enough money to get promoted from the championship to the PL while sat in league 1 looks like it's going to surpass us.

I make it:

Points: 69 (+1)
Available: 12 (-3)
Played: 42 (4)
Play Off Magic Number: 10 (-4)

[rabidbee]

But we can’t now do it because we needed five wins from our last five games, right?

I make it:

Points: 69 (+1)
Available: 15 (-3)
Played: 42 (4)
Play Off Magic Number: 10 (-4)

Surely as there's 4 games left:

Available: 12 (-3)

?

If we get 10 more points we are guaranteed play offs.

Yes, but that's -

Play Off Magic Number: 10 (-4)

But Available? 15 or 12

Whoops

[Snowflake Royal]

I suppose I shouldn't ignore it just because its bad news. I make it:

Points: 69 (+0)
Available: 9 (-3)
Played: 43 (3)
Play Off Magic Number: 10 (-0)

Lowest we can finish is 10th right? Taking a moment to reflect just how good that is, having finished 17th last season, lost Azeez, Smith, Mukairu, Mola, Selles etc and only added Campbell (plus Bodin - lol, and Carroll - lol), plus even more heightened ownership disasters and pressure.

The actual worst we can finish with 3 games left is 7 places higher than last season

[stealthpapes]

I actually miss Mola. By the end of the season, he was well into the swing of things.

I do think the back 2/3 of last season was a play-off quality team.

[Snowflake Royal]

I make it:

Points: 72 (+3)
Available: 6 (-3)
Played: 44 (2)
Play Off Magic Number: 7 (-3)

Lowest we can finish is 9th right? But very unlikely Bolton would overturn the GD.
