For this recipie you will need:
Football match (Halftime of), Celebrity Owner (Motivational speaking of), Sherry (Bottle of)
For me, at the start of the season all teams start equal with no points....so in that sense, the possibility that we could win the league is the same as all the other clubs so at this stage it ought to be 20-1. As the season progresses, depending on results the odds will change up or down.

Leicester won it against well defined odds and we won the league last season totally against the odds........so in both cases the "odds" were totally wrong.

I strongly feel that in football people get sucked into a mentality that is affected by what people call odds, probablilities, what the stats predict etc etc etc.....whereas in reality football is often very unpredictable.

The odds of winning the league are whatever you want them to be. I just looked up the odds online to see what we were quoted at and I laughed when I saw 2000-1. The last time I laughed at odds was when I saw us 250-1 against to beat Man Utd at CR in 2004.....we won 2-0.

Yes, thats my favourite bit of that laughably wrong post, even if you had a completely even league pricing every team at 20-1 would give you a summed probability of ~95%. He clarified the 250-1 by saying it was actually 250-1 for 2-0 to Norwich with Ashton to score first, which is just slightly different lol.

Yeah, figured it was either that or he was wrong. So "the last time he laughed at odds" was fairly accurate and if anything, a little short.

There's bending over and then there's bending over. Imagine you own a bakery and the last twelve people who've come into your store and have been scam artists and tricked you somehow. You decide the next person that walks through the door, no matter what, you'll refuse them. The thirteenth person is a starving homeless kid who asks you for some free bread and you refuse because of past bad experiences.

Koscielny is that thirteenth person. We have to make a stand, but not with Kos. Save that for anyone else.

Calculating Infinity

quote:

One of the new signings Chopra struggled to get along with was Diouf.

The former Senegal international forward was notorious for his disruptive nature and he has been quite outspoken in his criticism of Steven Gerrard during his time at Liverpool.

His forgettable spell at Sunderland lasted just six months before he was reunited with Sam Allardyce at Bolton having failed to score a single goal for the Black Cats.

"I had heard stories about him and he was as bad as what people said," Chopra revealed.

"I remember one time in the changing room, him and Anton Ferdinand were having an argument. Dioufy pulled out some scissors from his socks and said to Anton: 'come on then, let's have a fight'.

"That went on for a bit and he was that type of character. Dioufy was trying to drive himself out of the club.

"He would tell Ricky he was leaving and Ricky would say that's fine, but nobody has put a bid in for you.

"Dioufy said: 'Tomorrow, I'll be gone. I'll call Uncle Sam.'

"He used to call Sam Allardyce 'Uncle Sam' from his Bolton Wanderers days and Allardyce was manager of Blackburn Rovers then.

"Literally, he was gone that week."

Jump into the well...

To use your civilisation analogy, I would say we are similar to the Khmer Empire.

We are slightly isolated geographically from other major powers, but China (London) has always been on the horizon and we have never overshadowed the dominance there.

We have had our moments in the sun (12th century Angkor Wat/1985 Milk Cup), but have never made a huge impact on the global scene

Our rivalry with our neighbour (Siam/Ipswich) is not a cause for international concern, but it means absolutely everything to us

We are an unassuming power, with a large focus on family and community that has the potential to surprise others at times, but are unlikely to compete with the superpowers.

More recently, we have had some very challenging times (Khmer Rouge/relegation in 2009-10), but we have shown a resilience, loyalty and determination to get ourselves back on track

Farming is important to our people

I can't believe I have made a comparison between the Khmer Rouge and League One, but there ya go.
