Simulated season...

Seeing Arsenal and Spurs given a better chance at the top five than us I think this can be thrown out as utter drivel.

What a surprise, despite being 2 points off 5th with a (winnable) game in hand, we’re now ‘scientifically predicted’ to miss out.

Did Mark Lawrenson have anything to do with these calculations by any chance?

Just like last season when that supercomputer predicted Weeds would get promoted and we would miss out. Look how accurate that turned out!!!

Obviously this dumbass computer is missing one factor - cojones - something that we’ve infinitely more that wet biscuits Arsenal, Spurs and Man U combined.

I’d love it if we can ruin it for them!

These kind of news articles are so fucking pointless. All they do is illustrate how it's almost impossible to accurately make predictions when it comes to football. I'm sure the same algorithm had us finishing bottom of the league with 10 points at the start of the season.

Did Karen Brady program the algorithm?

I already did more research than I should but I stopped reading here.
