A note to Gary Sinclair

[bromtom]

Please be quiet.

We aren't up on Saturday no matter the result, not mathematically, so no comments please.

Do the club and birthday announcements, announce the teams, feel free to plug your grab a granny nightclub, and ask for our support, but please nothing which could come back and take a big old bite out of our arse.

Thanks in advance.

Just need him to show up. Other fella is 1) Terrible 2) A curse

 

[PokerBlade]

We need more threads reminding people that we aren't up yet.

Very good point. It can only be confirmed after Leeds game on Sunday if they fail to win

 

[ForgeBlade]

I think the response at the end depends on the scoreline. If god forbid we drop points, then it'll be a bit anticlimactic, but the lads still deserve a lap of honour for what has been a phenomenal season.

If however we tonk Ipswich 3 or 4 nil, and we're 6 clear with a +14/15 goal difference, there will be more than a few celebrating our all-but-mathematically-confirmed promotion. I will probably be among them.

If we win we are up. Leeds aren’t winning with back to back 7-0 scorelines ffs

Forgive me, but how are we not mathematically up on Saturday if we win? is it unless leeds win both their remaining matched 6-0?

And please don’t cue up Annie’s Song at the end should all go well, just let it happen spontaneously.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Spoke with him, leaving the ground , yesterday. Told him to not be a smart arse !

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I'm possibly one of the most pessimistic fans we have and even I think we're up if we win on Saturday.

Gary Sinclair will 100% be a c*ck if we win, he's one of our own though so we'll let him off.

That’s funny, you’ve made a statement then explained why your statement is wrong.
We won’t be mathematically promoted if Leeds beat Villa because Leeds could in theory (mathematically) beat Ipswich 9-0.

However of course this would be a miracle and won’t happen, so practically we will be promoted and I will be celebrating promotion if we beat Ipswich. Although the media won’t be reporting that we are promoted because that wouldn’t be a fact.

I'll be among them if we do that trust me, but I'm a punter, not the voice of the club on matchdays. He needs to remain professional in that capacity, that's all I'm saying.

It needs a miracle to be relegated in that Chelsea game.

Thought so just needed the validation.

If we win we are up no team can make up a 12 goal swing in one match

They have two.

Although still unlikely.

 

[Mumbo]

I do believe that even if we beat Ipswich 5-0 there will still be people saying “we aren’t up yet”
If we win on Saturday I for one will be celebrating promotion big style,and if anyone wants a million to one that somehow Leeds can still
get second spot I will gladly take their money.

 

[Trafford]

Actually there are 3 games that could potentially impact - two in which they can improve their goal difference, one in which we can reduce ours.

It was about the number of games Leeds had in which to score however many goals needed. It’s not one.

Yes, but there are three matches in which the swing could be made up. Obviously one of those games doesn't involve Leeds directly.

Anyway, we're splitting hairs at this point.

A gin and orange, a lemon squash and a scotch and water PLEASE.......

 

[Jonboy60]

If Norwich lose at home to Blackburn. Leeds are more likely to pass Norwich on goal difference than us, Taking second place behind us. Of course we would have to beat Ipswich and Stoke, Norwich lose last game to Villa. And Leeds get enough goals to pass them but not us. Phew. Hope that clears it all up

Well it's ambiguous. 'They have two [games]' could mean 'Leeds have two games to play' , which is true but also 'They have two games in which to make up 12 goals', which is wrong.

As I say it makes no really difference to me, just noting the semantics. Hopefully it's all academic, win on Saturday and you won't hear me trying to claim we're not up yet.

Yes, if we win we're up
God this is stressful

Just in case you’re aren’t deliberately trying to wind me up


“If we win we are up no team can make up a 12 goal swing in one match”

“They have two”


Where’s the ambiguity?

Honestly not trying to be a dick about this! (Sorry if it comes across that way).

Semantics are my jam, so bear with me.

If we take the original post (I appreciate this wasn't you):

'no team can make up a 12 goal swing in one match'.

Well there are three games in which the relative GD can be affected - Leeds Vs Villa, Leeds Vs Ipswich and Blades Vs Stoke. So I would say it's accurate to say 'Leeds have three games in which to make up the GD' even if Leeds are only playing in two of them.

For instance, if we were to beat Ipswich, I'd say United would have three chances to seal promotion - Leeds failing to beat Villa, United getting a point at Stoke, Leeds failing to beat Ipswich. Three chances, even though we only play once.

However: 'have' could mean games that Leeds themselves actually have, which is two as you say.

It's different ways of reading the sentence.

In one match being the point.
