7 POINTS FROM 30.................

Fri Apr 12, 2013 12:46 pm

Thats all we need. A friend in work explained it as simply as this.

Us and Watford have 5 games left, times them by 3 points that are available = 30

We need 7 of them - if we win knock that down to 4 points needed from 24 available................now here is the good part if Watford lose tomorrow as well we will need 1 point from those 24, if they draw we need 3 points. As so the maths are well stacked on our side.

Hope that was not too confusing :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :malky:

How did you get 30pts if 5 x 3 is 15 ?

Unless he means watfords 5 games and our five games - 30pts available?

But the simple fact of the matter is we need to beat forest and charlton. Simple.

Then we can have a f*cking party! :malky:

This is a great way of looking at it. We need 7pts but this can be made up of pts we gain AND pts Watford lose.

That's 7pts from our 15pts left AND Watford's 15pts left.

Cardiff win - 3pts off our 7pts
Watford lose - 3pts off our 7pts
Watford draw - 2pts off our 7pts
Cardiff draw - 1pt off our 7pts

This is great as any win by Watford does not make the 7pts go up. For Watford it can only stay the same or get worse. For Cardiff it can only stay the same or get better. :ayatollah:

Thanks for the accolade but my mate is the clever clogs - just sharing the info and showing how we can view the benefit of Watford dropping point as much as us gaining them :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :old:

The Blues are going up :thumbup:

All I know is that when either Watford or Hull and even Palace can longer catch us mathematically then I will relax and enjoy the football. Let's win this thing :malky:

Gentleman, never mind the maths, 4 more points will be enough. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
