Bayern Munich chucking the title with 1 game left  

Not a great day for Teutonic teams/managers.

It’s simple really. I put a bottle of Veuve into the fridge at half-time thereby bringing about the Firmino substitution and subsequent equaliser. It happens all of the time

They've got two home games, that's all it'll be I think. Their model still giving Chelsea at home more credit than they currently deserve.

Aye, I looked a little while back on the bit where you can look at the likelihood of individual results. I think it’ll be the most likely results based on their model is Man Utd picking up 6 points and us picking up 4 (with their analysis having the draw as the most likely at Stamford Bridge). The anomaly with us being more likely to make the CL will be there are marginally more scenarios where LFC  catch Man Utd instead of us. Due to the goal difference, as I think you mentioned earlier

You want to talk to CT, he gives Liverpool about a 66% chance.

Forest are safe. So it comes down to Everton, Leicester or Leeds.

West Ham are safe and will put out the reserves against Leeds so their first team are fresh for the final so you could finally be right about Everton

There are questions being asked ( rightly), about how a EUFA final is being held in a 19,370 capacity stadium. 
 

Apparently each side is only getting 4890 tickets. 
 

I predict a spicy night in Prague.

I think it's unlikely that they go to the trouble of building a statistical model and then allow their projections to be based on the alphabet.

 

 

Gemmill is correct, Brighton and Villa are on the same points and Brighton are higher. It can't be alphabetical.

 

It looks to me like it considers Man Utd more likely to finish 3rd than us based on games remaining. The infographic isn't solely dedicated to top 4 or not, it also tries to predict league placement.

He gets the ball and then pulls his leg back. You'd think he'd went with a straight leg the way the commentator is slathering on about it. Was someone saying it's Bridges who's commentating; is he a mackem?

Played for them but I thought he was actually a Newcastle fan. If so, he must prefer the Europa League for some reason.

Heard him interviewed once. He's a Spurs fan.

Calvert-Lewin off injured before half time again today.

 

Leeds have got a massive chance to get ahead of Everton today and stay there. West Ham shouldn't really give a fuck this afternoon, with a European final to focus on, and then Leeds have Spurs at home on the last today, who will wilt in the atmosphere at Elland Road.

 

Everton probably couldn't ask for a better home finish than Bournemouth at home on the last day, but if Leeds get ahead of them today they should be able to beat Spurs and stay there.

 

Howay Sam you big fat cunt, put these down.

The answer to the placings on the FiveThirtyEight predictions table is actually on the table itself,

 

Newcastle United have a 58% chance of finishing 3rd and a 41% chance of finishing 4th (1% chance of 5th)

Manchester Reds have a 42% chance of finishing 3rd and a 54% chance of finishing 4th (3% chance of 5th)

 

So that clears fucking nothing up! 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14618]

Why not 59%

[Meenzer 16388]

It's 58% until it becomes 59%. That's how it works

Its much closer to 59 than it is 58.
