Happy St Beneathus Day.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Start making your plans for St. Beneathus Day festivities next weekend.

It’s here pal.

 

[SebastianBlue]

It’s here pal.

Technically, yes, but not officially.

But if we are celebrating now, I’ll post the thread in Bluemoon.

A means to an end but you can fuck off right back to the laughing stock you are. Tick Tock **** bags

Save for a mid-season points deduction, there has literally never been a points and goals reversal in professional football that suggests I might be wrong. Not one.

I know there hasn’t, I was just pointing out it is technical not official, as the chance of them finishing above is not zero (as it would be next week if they drop points).

Chelsea win today and win there game in hand they go above the rags

As in the cup game, how did the scousers not get 10 goals?

Correct. St Beneathus Day can only fall on the day it's mathematically impossible for them to overtake us. As it stands we still need 1 point. The general prediction is that it will happen next Saturday tea time. The following day being a Sunday we shall be permitted to carry it forward for the full 24 hours. Thus sayeth the Lord.

I dont know whether to resign myself to ejoying United getting an absolute hammering and accept we will need to beat Liverpool on points.... or to hope beyond all hope that they can scrape a jammy win.... just don't know.

The trouble is, it's not in our hands

 

[SebastianBlue]

Now you are speaking my theological language.

 

[Pam]

Yet.

 

[PragueBlue]

Looking unlikely now!

But we’re unquestionably in their heads.

Correct. St Beneathus Day can only fall on the day it's mathematically impossible for them to overtake us. As it stands we still need 2 pts.

Yep, that has always been my understanding, as well.

But if the definition is shifting to whenever the chances are near zero (but still non-zero), I am happy to celebrate then, as well!

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I try to do the best with my limited vocabulary.

I would never imply anything about you was limited, accept your liability!

Like the Queen, and her erstwhile birthdays, isn’t it better to have two St Beneathus Days?
