Best odds 5/1 currently.
According to this you can't finish 'innit', it's just a dividing point. We are however above it as in this case it's 13.8333 points.
Wow a bookies offering odds of 5/1 for Brighton to finish in the Champions League places, never would I have thought we’d be on such low odds.
I'd be disappointed with that. Unless that defeat means demotion to the ECL which we then win!
Really? Losing two of our best players and having to play 6 or more extra games I think will take it’s toll on the squad.
We did finish in the second quartile…
A quartile isn't a group of 4, which is what I also thought. We finished above this dividing point in both tables - see my edited post #6.
Oops, still not used to the EPL and not good at maths by sounds of it.
I make it 24 points against the bottom 6.
What are you on about? There are 20 teams in the premier league, so 4 quartiles of 5 teams. We finished in the second quartile.
The bookies are such crooks. 5/1 is nothing like the real odds.
By my arithmetic we got 46 points from the 20 games against teams in the bottom half of the table, 2.3 pts per game. Our achilles heel was the 4 teams directly below us. 1 point from 8 games, but of course those 4 teams did get a little help from their "friends".
If you, @Machiavelli and @jeremy fisher had bothered to read and digest the information in #11 then you'd know what I was 'on about'.
You think finishing 10th next season would be a good season!? If that happens we could see a real slide back into obscurity I reckon
