Title: That YP supercomputer.....

I think they need to swap it for something a bit less super, and more reasonable...

Supercomputer? I think that list came to Paul Cook in a dream!

At least we scraped the playoffs - we can go and beat Crewe at Wembley.

Shall we stop the league now the YP has told us the result? Absolute garbage.

Never seen so much garbage ever.
3 teams on 99 points or more.  Yes will believe that when I see it.

Not only is the table predicted way out imo  the points totals simply are ludicrous.
Think there are about 6 teams with points below 38
That has never even remotely been the case in any past season.

The whole thing is a joke and is a massive insult to all computers.
This one has blown a fuse.  :headbang:

But it achieves what it sets out to do and gets folk clicking. They know footy fans are sensitive about their teams!

And it could be aimed at boosting circulation, footfall, in certain districts... Like Chesterfield

Always makes me laugh that these articles talk about a "supercomputer". Like they've set up the facility at CERN with the sole aim of finding out who's winning the fourth division.

It’s a ZX81 with a 16kb RAM Pack. Load of ballacks.
