I read that as playing with myself.

He's already won the the league in the most remarkable famous, he's had a few knocks this season. Guaranteed starter for Argentina in Brazil a few weeks away, I'd certainly be playing within myself to make sure I'm there.

IMO If we win our next two games we win the league

Hence, "or something".

But... The odds of any specific consecutive sequences happening increase the longer the sequence continues, and the number of permutations increases as a result.

Disco over on ST who is an expert at statistics due to his job had this to say during a similar discussion:


So in a way with every win the chances of us reaching 14 wins on the bounce shortens.

Obviously though football matches aren't tosses of a coin and matches are far more complex and rarely 50/50 affairs.

I think you're looking too much into this. Stats are just an observation/analysis of past events. Probability is a different thing. As dww said, every match is unrelated to previous ones. They're different events and bears no association whatsoever.

Er, noo.

If you study statistics, you study probability.

And we're talking about sequences of a series of events. Individually, they're individual events. But together they form a sequence.

But they're different fields uh?

You can derive an analysis out of a series of events by grouping them but they don't affect each other.

One word.




Ok, two.

Just realised that if we win 2 more points (1 if we take into our account our huge GD) then it's mathematically impossible for United to finish above us

Good extra incentive for us to win this weekend - when it's mathematically impossible for them to retain the title they have to lower and remove their 'Premier League Champions' flag that flies at Old Trafford.

A 34 game league?

Ok, two.

You've lost me.

Is this true - please let this be true.
