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

I have a very limited capacity for modesty!

 

[BillCarlisle]

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!

Yeah, that's the approach I've decided to take. Cheers !


.............and Cheers ! again next Saturday & Sunday.

Speaks volumes that a piss poor Blades side can get a point against a risible Chelsea side, whereas the world's greatest club™ lost against them after being ahead on 99 minutes.

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. 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.

1 point not 2

 

[deegee33]

Technically, yes, but not officially.

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

I don't see them making up a 50+ goal differential. I, for one, am officially celebrating.

Happy Facepalm Sunday!

It was nice to see the Dippers drop points today all be it against the Rags...BUT

It's a win win situation, The Dippers are devastated that they've dropped points, The Rags are celebrating a draw at home to the Dippers after being battered for the majority of it.

How the mighty have fallen. What's next, A bus parade for making a Europa League spot?

They’ve turned into 90s City. But no fancy Kappa tops.

1 point surely?

 

[bondsman]

The trouble is, it's not in our hands

Deeply frustrating that we didn’t turn them or Arsenal over

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

The trouble is, it's not in our hands

It is, if we win all of our games. Which is pretty much what we'd have to do anyway. Even if we were leading at this point.

 

[Impeccable One]

I think Mainoo is a real talent but thankfully his team is too shite for him to make too much impact, kind of like Palmer at Chelsea.

Did ANYONE actually notice who lost(walked away from) Diaz for Dippers first goal ?

No it’s not in our hands. We could win all of our games and still not win the league. Somewhat unlikely but not impossible. Therefore, it’s not in our hands

 

[BillCarlisle]

1 point surely?

We're on 70, Rags on 48. Most they can get is 71. We therefore require 2 pts.

They are on 49, max they can get is 70. Therefore we need 1 point to be mathematically certain

 

[Mike N]

Probably already mentioned above but I heard on a podcast the other day that United have conceded more chances than any other team in the top 5 leagues in Europe.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

If we win all our games we'll win the league. So that's the part that's in "our hands".

Correct mate. Apologies. Too much wine with my meal :-)
Either way, St Beneathus Day will fall next Saturday, I reckon.

That’s not what “in our hands” means
