Re: Magic Numbers 2019-20 ...

Sort of. It works as if every team takes 3 points from every game + 1 extra point for potential goal difference. That number will decrease for each team as the season goes on until, hopefully, 3 teams move to 0 or below which means that they cannot attain the number of points Burnley have gained at...

I’m sure it’s an interesting culture and country. Are the Japanese people ashamed of how they treated POWs to barbaric torture or don’t they acknowledge this ?

Wouldn't be the first to have such problems. Richard Harris couldn't not sing "MacArthur's Park" which, eventually, Webb just let slide and it sounds none the worse for it.
