RE: wots a Ponit ???

It`s for strawberries.

 

ahhh nice edit

 

damn out of surf time at work... nt

 

Can get relegated with 69 pts nt

 

What you get strawberries in? nt

 

114 points

top seven teams win all there matches apart from each other when they draw and we could mi ss out on goal differance ie 34 wins and 12 draws each

 

I think

What is the absolute minimum number of points that it is possible to stay up on in a standard season (24 teams)? 6 points

What is the minimum points that it is possible to get into the play-offs on? 36 points

What is the maximum points that you can be relegated on? 75points

And what is the maximum that you can miss out on the play-offs on? 114 points

 

If everyone drew every game 0 - 0....

then we finish top on alphabetical order surely???

 

for a more realistic viewpoint.......................

it's better to look at what actually happened over a number of seasons</p>

in the Championship in the 20 seasons since the league went to 24 teams the following is true </p><table width="144" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="border-collapse: collapse"> <tbody><tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px; width: 71px" class="xl73"></td> <td style="width: 69px" class="xl73">Max</td> <td style="width: 52px" class="xl74">Min</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">1</td> <td class="xl70">106</td> <td class="xl75">81</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl69">2</td> <td class="xl68">92</td> <td class="xl76">79</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">3</td> <td class="xl71">90</td> <td class="xl77">74</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">4</td> <td class="xl71">88</td> <td class="xl77">73</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">5</td> <td class="xl71">83</td> <td class="xl77">71</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl69">6</td> <td class="xl69">76</td> <td class="xl78">70</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">7</td> <td class="xl71">75</td> <td class="xl77">67</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">8</td> <td class="xl71">74</td> <td class="xl77">63</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">9</td> <td class="xl71">72</td> <td class="xl77">62</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">10</td> <td class="xl71">69</td> <td class="xl77">60</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">11</td> <td class="xl71">68</td> <td class="xl77">59</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">12</td> <td class="xl71">65</td> <td class="xl77">55</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">13</td> <td class="xl71">65</td> <td class="xl77">55</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">14</td> <td class="xl71">62</td> <td class="xl77">55</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">15</td> <td class="xl71">61</td> <td class="xl77">54</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">16</td> <td class="xl71">59</td> <td class="xl77">53</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">17</td> <td class="xl71">58</td> <td class="xl77">50</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">18</td> <td class="xl71">58</td> <td class="xl77">48</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">19</td> <td class="xl71">58</td> <td class="xl77">47</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">20</td> <td class="xl71">55</td> <td class="xl77">47</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl69">21</td> <td class="xl69">53</td> <td class="xl78">47</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">22</td> <td class="xl72">52</td> <td class="xl79">42</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">23</td> <td class="xl72">49</td> <td class="xl79">35</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 17px"> <td style="height: 17px" class="xl71">24</td> <td class="xl72">45</td> <td class="xl79">26</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

 

6 wins then

Beyond reasonable doubt.

 

well.......................

if you look in more detail 50 or more has only gone down 6 times out of the 20 seasons and in each case it was on goals scored or goal difference</p>

I'm hoping that the -19 and -21 GD of Southampton and Charlton mean there's only really one place left to fight over-and as I said when he was appointed I think Gunn will take Norwich down-he has no managerial experience and they are on a poor run-although Plymouth may prove me wrong?</p>
