Yeah we all computers can add up, trouble is they can't think for themselves.
Computers don't do maths, either.

Just like the old days...
agreed, and there is no allowance for the Gill/Stewart/Edwards factor that their experience brings at this stage of the season.

Or the bustling aggression and purpose that Bertie brings to help out the above mentioned geriatrics.

Excel does what you tell it to do – within reason - it will do your sums, can do some maffs - it will also give you the probability of City gaining automatic promotion (0.2773) - you just need to know how to ask nicely.

Tee hee hee :) This maths while mindbogglingly brilliant is nothing short of being crap! Too many variable factors to effectively be a "mortgage backer", I think there's more reliability in spinning John Leslie's Wheel of Fortune. We'll do this league based on our winning games and others slipping up........and to be honest, I don't care if we're not promoted this season - Argyle slipping up would be equally as gratifying in my book.

Much Love.

Sorry to be a pedant GoT but excel do'n't do the maff, that was done by well clever ice creams years ago, all the 'cel and camputers are doin is clever riffmatic but they can't do advanced riffmatics like wot I dun when I perdicted 69 points being the minimum necessary to gain a play off place.

The difference being I faught abaht it and introduced reasoning, logic and emotion into the whole Quazion, it's well clever stuffs that peoples like Lammie don't gets cos they is only countants, 1,2,3 lots is about their limit.

p.s. I did consider deleting this post but hit send because I think some on here would appreciate my turmoil.
