I really hope not. Watching Saka dive when he had an open goal to shoot at really makes not miss premier league football. I think we’d sign a different type of player to give us a good chance of going for it when we went up this time but VAR + modern football really makes me not want to go back to the premier league. I’d rather be on the verge of playoffs in the championship every season
Some places have people who would continue to turn up year after year to see that. Don’t think Hull is one of them.
The average here is 73.8 points, if anyone is interested. 70 points is generally considered the minimum and we'd need at least three wins to meet that. Four wins and a draw and we'd be bang on the average. 79 is the maximum amount of points we can currently achieve. West Brom need three wins and a draw from their final five games to finish with 79 points. Even if we didn't drop a point, goal difference would give them the edge. Four wins and they can't be mathematically beaten. Norwich need to win all of their four remaining games to ensure they can't be mathematically beaten, as three wins and a draw would see them finish on 78. Even if Coventry or Preston won all of their remaining games they would only be able to finish on 78 points. As we know, we have yet to play Coventry and Preston play both Norwich and West Brom, so it's impossible for all of the teams still there or there about to actually win all of their remaining games. Points will be dropped.
Allegedly the Kim score of 39 or whatever was down to journalistic error rather than bonkers propaganda. His scores were bizarrely recorded as 0 for par, 1 for a bogey, 2 for a double bogey etc. So in fact his gross 39 was actually 39 over par. Still highly unlikely (ie impossible) for a first time golfer on a championship length course, but not quite such an outrageous lie.
So, I can now update this to say we will be in the Premier League if we win all our remaining games this season, and either Norwich or WBA don’t win two of their remaining three games (ie six points or more from nine). Over the course of the season so far, both have fallen short of the two points a game average required.
We’re still in there fighting. Win all our remaining games, and if either Norwich or WBA don’t win either of theirs, we’re up. And as long as one of them fails to win their next game and we beat Ipswich, it all goes down to the last match. WBA are on a winless run so we need Wednesday to make sure that cont8nues.
