To be fair, you said we need 86/87 points, he said that wouldn't be enough [for us], so GD is implied. 86 / 87 points might be enough, but it might not be. Still pretty close to call.
It wasn't meant to be. It was meant to be even if we got 87, it wouldn't be enough. Or, the 2nd team will have 87 or more points, not including Brighton. Still, I'm glad we failed to reach agreement.
Well the last few games have certainly helped towards your belief.
So what exactly is the bet? My bet was that if we get 87 points, we won't finish in the top two. What are you asking for?
I didn't take it as an insult.
Taken in isolation, a draw against Preston was perfectly respectable. It's only in the context of dreaming of a top two finish that some of us think it wasn't good enough. We shouldn't expect to finish second, but after our season it's understandable that we dream of it, and the dream got harder...
If we get promoted, yes please. If not, I think I'll be too miserable to share anyone's company.
I'm not a mathematician :(
I was going for 87 or more, since we can't (realistically) beat them on GD.
If we get 7 wins and 2 draws, finishing on 87 points, I think we'll miss out. Burnley and Hull are both averaging enough points to beat that, and 'boro are 3 points ahead of us with a game in hand.
I think it's too big an ask for us.
