February 7, 201016 yr tell me the last season a team has needed this "magical" 40 points to stay up!?
February 7, 201016 yr Author tell me the last season a team has needed this "magical" 40 points to stay up!? fair point, 38 then. just studying run ins, ours is trickier than most.
February 7, 201016 yr I reckon 36 will stay up this year. We will stay up but we are making it a lot more uncomfortable for oursleves than it should be.
February 7, 201016 yr I reckon 36 will stay up this year. We will stay up but we are making it a lot more uncomfortable for oursleves than it should be. it wouldn't be Bolton if we made it easy for ourselves!

February 7, 201016 yr tell me the last season a team has needed this "magical" 40 points to stay up!? 1997-1998 Everton 40 points, guess who went down on GD 2001-2002 Mackems 40 points 17th Ipswich 36 points 2002- 2003 Bolton 44 points 17th World Cup Winners 42 points As for this season 40 points minimum for 17th place. JSL
February 7, 201016 yr 2001-2002 Mackems 40 points 17th Ipswich 36 points As for this season 40 points minimum for 17th place. JSL So the magic number that year was 37 Agreed - I think 40 may not be enough this year - all the lower teams beating each other, and also picking points up off the big clubs.
February 8, 201016 yr tell me the last season a team has needed this "magical" 40 points to stay up!? when we went up and west ham went down, they had 42 points, we had 44
February 8, 201016 yr when we went up and west ham went down, they had 42 points, we had 44 exactly, how long ago was that? Number of points of the team finishing 3rd bottom: 08/09 34 07/08 36 06/07 38 05/06 34 04/05 33 03/04 33 02/03 42 01/02 36 00/01 34 99/00 33 So an average of 36 points over the last decade has been good enough to stay up Edited February 8, 201016 yr by YATESY
February 8, 201016 yr I did the bbc predictor and had Burnley 3rd bottom on 31 points. We got 39 but that was before i knew about Cahill.
February 8, 201016 yr Author i had us on 39 before the fulham game, so 37 now. whoever i had 3rd bottom had 33, but that also included hull losing to city. so its alot closer now. i give us a point at wigan too. theyve a free weekend while we play a cup game before we play them next midweek. thats going to help them you would of thought. weiss has to play v them next week especially as he cant play tomorrow or sunday.
February 8, 201016 yr exactly, how long ago was that? Number of points of the team finishing 3rd bottom: 08/09 34 07/08 36 06/07 38 05/06 34 04/05 33 03/04 33 02/03 42 01/02 36 00/01 34 99/00 33 So an average of 36 points over the last decade has been good enough to stay up ok, I think you're missing the point though generally 40 points is good enough to keep you up so that's what teams aim for 36 points is not a target, as you'd have gone down 3 times in the last decade
February 8, 201016 yr ok, I think you're missing the point though generally 40 points is good enough to keep you up so that's what teams aim for 36 points is not a target, as you'd have gone down 3 times in the last decade Never said that 36 points was a target, just pointing out that in 9 of the last 10 seasons this "magical" 40 points was more than enough. Yes 40 points is a good target but so is 38 or 39.
February 8, 201016 yr just pointing out that in 9 of the last 10 seasons this "magical" 40 points was more than enough. which is precisely why it's a target for every team at the start of the season... you see?
February 8, 201016 yr ive always considered a point a game is relegation form. But in 9 of the last 10 seasons a point a game has been good enough to stay up. I think it will be the same this season, plenty of teams taking points off each other.
February 8, 201016 yr what ever happens... its going to the last game of the season... and a nail biter... hopefully Brums run of form will have ended...and they will have fuck all to play for....
Who's the wins going to come against to get there?
