    Cleaning Carra's Boots!

    As usual, it's not been a boring couple of weeks being a Liverpool fan. Drawn against Barca with every pundit around the globe licking their lips that the "have beens" LFC would be knocked out by the mighty holders.

    Well, we proved them wrong, and the prominent pundits who have pissed everyone off goes to Dunphy and his 'mates' and Merson who were shown up to be the pundits that they were. All on here showed a passion against them for a reason. We know best!

    The Champs league draw today had everyone divided for a reason i cannot see myself. It was probably the best overall draw that UEFA could manipulate/manufacture. The chances of NO english teams meeting were the same as a contestant winning the £250,000 on a deal or No deal Xmas special! But definatley, PSV was one of the lesser evils for the Quarters.

    I mean....Quality draw for us but that Koeman chap is not to be trusted. Time for payback when he did us over with Benfica. He is bound to be defensive and i worry that Rafa will try to outdo the manager rather than the players on the pitch. Keep it simple Rafa and don't make it personal.

    Shame about Henry not playing for the rest of the season. Could be a rouse, but if true, then i would say our 3rd place is safe for sure.

    All this talk about the likes of Eto'o, Deco, Kaka..... it makes excellent reading when you havn't paid £30 for it, but really? Does anyone else snap back to reality and think... Nolan, Aaron Lennon, Scott Vernon!

    What are the Mancs up to..... Hmmm, seems like they want a Ronaldo on each wing and are going for Nani. Ronaldo's long lost twin. That doesn't surprise me because Rooney is linked with a nanny evey other week! Couldn't really care who they sign, it will cost them loads and we will get Lil Louis to chop them down.

    I like the way Joaquin has gone quite and curled up in a corner. From live performances i have seen, he could be massive in a proper team like errrr..... Liverpool. Him and Quaresma would be my current "edge of the seat" signings thanks Rick.

    Think i mentioned that Dunphy tw@t.

    What a boring weekend ahead regards footy!

    Have a good 'un.

          I honestly can't remember the poster. Just the fact that it was a good read.

            The title of the posts were a clue - I think it was poster called 'Gerrardsocks17' who made those posts. I'm sure he posted a bit on here a while back. I think Mums and a few of the others will remember him more from his KT days.

              Could any statisticians tell me what were the odds of there not being an all English-tie? I have tried working it out but I was never very good at stats.

              We had a 2/7 chance of drawing an English club. So did the others. After that I start getting confused.

              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                I can't remember the exact figures, but someone from one of the betting chains was on the radio yesterday morning saying that after all the possible match permutations, i.e. who would be playing home or away, etc, there was about a 45% chance of 2 english teams playing each other and so a 55% chance that no english teams would play each other.

                  "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

                    Thanks. I just tried working it out using all the permutations but it's too longwinded. It must be something stupid* like (7!x2)-(2!x2)/79 (that's deliberately wrong but if anyone would like to give me the correct formula I'd appreciate it).



                    * I mean counterintuitive, complicated and, sadly perhaps, beyond me.

                      3/7 chance of there being an English tie. 4/7 of there not being one.

                          Really? I can see that that would fit Cantankerous's percentages but it's really that simple?

                          Is it:

                          2/7 + 2/7 + 2/7 = 6/7 = 3/7
                          ..........2..............2
                          .

                            There were 3 possible English vs English pairings, each of which has probability 1/7 of occuring. They are also mutually exclusive (no two could both happen). Thus the probability of there being an English-English tie is 3/7 (less than 50%)

                              OK, thanks I defer to your confident manipulation of stats but that looks too damn simple to me.

                              Maybe that's my problem with stats - I think it's more complicated than it is.

                              Cheers Al.
