Even if we lose v Leicester we still have a 40-45% chance of qualifying for the UCL, which isn't the be-all and end-all either way.
You really think Wolves are favorites vs Chelsea? Although Chelsea might play for a draw so I guess it is like being a goal up for them.Even if we lose v Leicester we still have a 40-45% chance of qualifying for the UCL, which isn't the be-all and end-all either way.
It's the chance of wolves winning (x=20-23%) combined with the chance of us winning the Europa (y=~25%). Calculated from the betting odds which isn't perfect but more accurate than most. [1-(1-x)*(1-y)]You really think Wolves are favorites vs Chelsea? Although Chelsea might play for a draw so I guess it is like being a goal up for them.
Alright I thought you gave those odds for a Wolves win over Chelsea. 25% is not that bad odds on us getting a Europa league win.It's the chance of wolves winning (x=20-23%) combined with the chance of us winning the Europa (y=~25%).

Nope since Chelsea will bottle it. That game is the most important one since 2008!If we lose this is the quarter final of the Europa league the most important game since 2008? Continuing on until the final ?
This. /threadIts the most important game of this season. I wouldn't go any further than that.
If you ignore the fact we played in the final of that only a few years ago when both the EL trophy and our CL qualification was on the line.If we lose this is the quarter final of the Europa league the most important game since 2008? Continuing on until the final ?
Agreed. If we lose we should cancel the club
No Sancho. Burn it all down!
I promise everyone we will be fine if we don't make it into the CL next season
This might be the most important sensible post ever. Without this post the entire caf could have melted down. It may well have been a historic turning point in this thread.I hate this trend where every match is the most important of all time, every signing is potentially the biggest ever, and every single event is a historic turning point.
It's just a game of football. Yeah, missing out on the CL would suck but that won't be certain until we get knocked out of the EL as well. And even if we finish 5th and fail in the EL, life and football will go on.
We shouldn't rely on Wolves getting a win against Chelsea. That's a stupid way to think. The focus should be on getting a win or at worse a draw against leceister.Considering that we can lose this match and still get CL next season if other results go our way I would hardly proclaim this match to be sooo important.
I never said we should rely on Wolves, i simply used that as a point on how hyperbole it is to proclaim this as the most important match since the '08 CL Final.We shouldn't rely on Wolves getting a win against Chelsea. That's a stupid way to think. The focus should be on getting a win or at worse a draw against leceister.
This should be read with that movie trailer voice.I mean... it's all on the line on Sunday.
Yes, we've won big trophies since then. In fact, every other trophy available to us, other than CL. But I can't shake the feeling that we are at an inflection point. All of the decisions (Ole), squad development strategy (young vs. old/established) and our future, is riding on Sunday's match.
Leicester will have 7 days rest. We will have three.
We have an injured LB, an exhausted starting 11, a calamitous keeper, and two, maybe three relatively trustworthy squad players (McT, Fred & Ighalo).
The biggest transfer target in the history of the club -- Sancho -- is watching this all play out, potentially influencing his final decision.
A club legend but an unproven manager, who won big matches for the club as a player, his future is potentially at stake.
The board will be watching, deciding the direction of the club, the transfer kitty....
In the middle of a pandemic and an economic depression, before potentially the most important political election in 100 years.
God, I hate 2020.
