We almost failed the Leaving Cert thanks to that bastard known as honours maths but just scraped a pass and so our career as a multimedia journalist extraordinare was saved. *cough*

Aren’t you lucky?

And thankfully we never had to do maths live on television as poor Claudio Ranieri did today after his Leicester side recorded a 2-1 away win over West Ham for their second successive victory in the Premier League.

Of course most sides look to the magical 40 point mark to ensure of their Premier League safety.

So after getting six points so far after just two games, the Leicester manager just needs another eleven wins and a draw right?

Not quite

36+6=42.

Doh!
