So we hit the magic 89, but you all knew that didn't you?
Huddersfield would need 4 massive wins, or more likely 4 wins and a draw to top this. It isn't going to happen which sets things up nicely for Monday.
3+1 and last season''s heroic failures are toast. It may well be enough to see off the gallant Yorkshiremen as well. Close now.

Last season's Top 6 all finished with 20 plus GD, so yes it is unusual.
The links below show last season's great spread of goals from everywhere, compared to this season's formidable four all in double figures...
It might have been better to wait until tonight's results are in but here goes anyway.
8 points and 15 goals ahead of last season's storming finish. The end of last season, saw a rapid upturn in our goal difference, so whilst two more wins would put us ahead of last season's target...
No one fancied bouncing this thread then? Strange because predictions that last season's total were irrelevant and would be swept by a rampant top three suddenly look a little premature.
Last season's top 6 were comfortable at this stage.
This season Massive can't shake off Fulham, who failed...
chaileyjem has posted last season above, so now for this season;
Last season 8 points between first and fourth.
This season it is 10, stating the obvious but this is a three horse race.
Last season 74 Burnley on 78 points were 8 points clear. This season they would be third, with a goal...
Good news
The Hull collapse is complete, so we no longer need to consider - well Hull blew it from here last season.
Last season we finished with GD+30 with a fantastic run in. This looks a tall ask for Huddersfield.
Here is the latest ELO rating from http://clubelo.com/Brighton
Like last year the top 6 are starting to look pretty settled and my theory is that when this comes to the play offs, the lower ranked sides should have something of an advantage, knowing that their preparation is towards winning the play offs, rather than straining to make second place. The fact...
We're on our way, we're on our way.
I had to post this one. Rotherham 100% nailed on for relegation.....according to the model. Yes pedants they can still win every single game and stay up, there is currently no evidence that they have a cat in hells chance of doing this.
Meanwhile our...
Did I not enjoy that !
We have an eight point buffer over our former selves and a 16 goal buffer, so no need to panic.....however
:(Huddersfield would have been top rather than third, although Middlesbrough had a game in hand. The Experimental 361 model is now predicting that just beating last...
I think it was Hiney that posted this one on another thread;

More reliable than the statto version I think
Interesting - One of the points I keep coming back to on this thread, is trying to eliminate bias. it just shows how difficult it can be, having looked through the fixtures, I just felt that our games were tougher than Huddersfield's. Your numbers tell a different story.
This one taken from...
It is good to see the table laid out as it demonstrates a couple of things;
From here on in we turned a three point deficit on Hull into a 6 point surplus. That nine point shift is the warning, however despite an excellent run that doesn't start for a couple more games yet, we couldn't shift...
It was only a point, one measly point. Statistically it shouldn't make much difference but what a psychological boost. We have a team that won't lie down
P29 GD +9 P53 Fifth (I think - Stato down this time)
P29 GD +23 P61 Second
Still eight points and 14 goals clear of last season. Can we...
