andrew1957 Not sure we should worry too much about the rest. We have 10 games left - win 5 and we are in the play offs.
Normally 4 wins would be enough as historically 74 points usually puts you in the play offs but with Fulham in very good form I have a feeling that it will be 78-79 this time. So 5 wins and happy days.
Not too confident of the next 2 games but 5 from the last 8 looks doable.

Pretty accurate prediction though I do say it myself. We have had the 5 wins with two games to spare. However, Leeds really should win their last two and so it might take 80 to reach the play offs this season.
That is an incredibly high number as 74 has been enough for the last 20 years or so if I recall rightly.

CountryRoyal We're in the same boat as Wigan just at the other end.
Yes it's possible for us to finish outside the playoffs, yes it's possible for them to avoid relegation.
But sweet Jesus it isn't going to happen.

Sutekh 78 points is highest recorded to ensure play-offs (although that same season it was GD that decided it ), 68 the lowest.

genome So, Newcastle promoted. None of the staff or players seem that bothered and the fans muster only mild applause.
Weird.

The expectation was promotion, was the minimum aim, and tbh it's never really looked in doubt.
Job done by all accounts. Championship is small fry for them.

I guess so, but you'd expect more passion from the Geordies. Remember them being a lot more animated in 09/10

Think I'd rather be us, tbh. Yes we've had some horrible days, but at least we know when we've done well, and we celebrate it. If they don't celebrate promotion, what are they going to celebrate? Are they really going to win the PL, or get top 6, or win a cup in the foreseeable future?
How flipping boring it must be to have nothing to aim at, that the fans and players can think - yeah we did that, and it was good.

Odd thing to say.
