[Albion] The Premier League Supercomputer

[A1X]

You may or may not have heard about this "supercomputer" which is used by newspapers and the like to run their various "Man Utd predicted to finish NINTH" type stories. Well it's just run itself again and the results are...interesting...



Once you get over that we're in the title race until the very last game, and are nailed on for a Champions League spot, there are many other highly amusing outcomes it's modelled;

- Bournemouth's goal difference
- West Ham scoring only 2 more goals all season
- Brentford finishing miles ahead of Man Utd on goal difference
- Eight teams going unbeaten at home all season
- Liverpool not winning a single away game all season
- Man City having a 100% home record and not winning the league

Obviously it's all complete nonsense. It's the fact that it's SO COMPLETE NONSENSE which IMHO makes it too good not to share.

If we WIN all 16 of our remaining HOME games, I will EAT my HAT

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I would suggest that the computer isn't that super after all

And I'll eat it too, when you're done processing it.

Would be disappointed if we missed out on the title by just 3 points and goal difference

Super computer my arse. We can take Arsenal, no problem!

+33 GD. with all the celebrating I’ll be doing, I’ll have burnt off enough calories for 2 sausage rolls per game.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

That computer is about as reliable as our very own 'Computer' being fit

Really looking forward to the rest of the season now I know we won't be dropping another point at the Amex. Bring 'em all on!

i'm sure this is just an Excel sheet that simply runs forward based on the past few games.

Different sites have their own dodgy spreadshe... er, 'supercomputers' - there's not just one shared resource.

Funnily enough, they're usually powered up during international weeks.... when sports editors get desperate for traffic.

 

[Gabbafella]

That's comedy gold.

I think my 1-3 to the Albion on Saturday if it happens will be the first step to this prediction happening

About as likely too
