    Says the teacher that can't add to 12 and factor in goal difference

    I think you'll find it's nothing to do with 12. It is purely down to goal difference.

    And if you want I can argue that we are mathematically safe using the laws of probability

    That's fine to present that but you cannot say we're safe mathematically if we win today and that's what you said Mr Peterson.

    I know I’m stating the obvious here.

    Win today and points wise the worst case scenario is both on 39 and it’s down to goal difference.

    That would mean us losing every game and them winning every game. That’s possible but highly unlikely.

    No I didn't. I said we could be safe by Monday at 8pm

    That's fine, but he said if we win we're mathematically safe and unfortunately that wasn't correct

    No you just don't understand maths

    Probability > Arithmetic

    You said shortly after if you ignore goal difference me Peterson

    Yes hence a revised statement.

    But as said we are not safe using the branch of mathematics called arithmetic.

    A higher branch of maths is probability and under this we are safe.

    Therefore my conjecture is safe

    I'd argue we're safe already based on probability, but factually we aren't.

    We're talking mathematically not factually

    Algebra comes before Arithmetic alphabetically and, therefore, is on a higher level in my bookcase.

    We're not mathematically safe either

    Yes we are under the mathematical branch of probability
