Really?

60% odds on the premier league :lol:

33% on the Fa Cup

I cant even be bothered to go into detail but you have a 33% chance of sucess in the FA Cup leaving the other 17 teams 66% chance? :lol:
Look if we are good enough to win the Carling Cup, we are good enough to win the FA Cup....most of the other 17 teams have no chance

Given United's more difficult run-in we must be at least a 50% chance and in my view a 60% chance

These are just my opinions

The fact yours are different is hardly surprising

I would give the odds as follows

Carling Cup - 95%
Premiership - 60%
FA Cup - 33.33%
CL - 10%

Meaning a 2% chance or 50/1 against

The bookies will probably only offer 33/1
What a load of utter shit.

Arsenal are not the favourites for the title, let alone 60% favourites. I would put your chances at 30%, at best. As for the FA Cup, how you've managed to give yourself a 33.33% chance when United, Chelsea and City are all still in the competition, I don't know. 20-25% would be more accurate. Your CL odds are about right, if not slightly optimistic.

I dont see how you have a 60% chance when you are the most famous bottlers in recent history, and you are 4 points behind too.

Lets not forget its not about the winning though, its about the style and kids and net spending. They're not rent boys.

According to bookies the odds for the Premier League are roughly as follows - it adds up to over 100% because of the bookies 'cut'. Reduce them all a bit to get the correct percentage chance according to the bookies.

United 63%
Arsenal 33%
Chelsea 6%
City 5%

For the FA Cup

United 31%
Arsenal 22%
Chelsea 18%
City 14%

Carling Cup

Arsenal 78%
Birmingham 29%

Champions League

Barca 31%
Real Madrid 18%
Chelsea 15%
United 12%
Arsenal 8%

Gives you odds of 0.45% on Arsenal winning the Quad, and that is a bit generous.

OK that is about 200/1

Try getting that from a bookie.I\ll eat my hat if you get better than 66/1

As for my 'odds'. Those are just my views as all such figures are.

Arguably better which is where the 60% comes from.Of course I do see it as a 2 horse race
I hate you, it took me some time to give you those numbers and results.

How both team played in the same fixtures in last three seasons against their remaining opponents?

Code:
[B][U]ARSENAL[/U]        07/08	08/09	09/10[/B]

Stoke City H	*	4-1	2-0
Sunderland H	3-2	0-0	2-0
West Brom A	*	3-1	*
Blackburn H	2-0	4-0	6-2
Blackpool A	*	*	*
Liverpool H	1-1	1-1	1-0
Bolton A	3-2	3-1	2-0
M United H      2-2	2-1	1-3
Stoke City A	*	1-2	3-1
Aston Villa H	1-1	0-2	3-0
Fulham A	3-0	0-1	1-0
Tottenham A	3-1	0-0	1-2

[B][U]UNITED[/U]         07/08	08/09	09/10[/B]

Wigan A      	2-0	2-1	5-0
Chelsea A	1-2	1-1	0-1
Liverpool A	1-0	1-2	0-2
Bolton H	2-0	2-0	2-1
West Ham A	1-2	1-0	4-0
Fulham H	2-0	3-0	3-0
Newcastle A	5-1	2-1	*
Everton H	2-1	1-0	3-0
Arsenal A	2-2	1-2	3-1
Chelsea H	2-0	3-0	1-2
Blackburn A	1-1	2-0	0-0
Blackpool H	*	*	*
How would the table look with those results every year,
starting with current number of points (United 57, Arsenal 53)?

2007/08

1. United/___37__23-11-3_.78-34__80
2. Arsenal___34__.21-8-5__74-36__71

Arsenal with three games played less and both teams having one more to play.
United have Blackpool at home. Old Trafford, that sounds nice and nobody should expect us to drop any points.
And... better goal difference.

2008/09

1. United/___37__24-10-3_.76-32__82
2. Arsenal___37__.21-8-8__74-37__71

Eleven points more with one game to play.
Thanks.

2009/10

1. Arsenal___36__.24-5-7__78-35__77
2. United/___36__22-10-4_.78-32__76

Fair play, one point more with last season's results.
But two aways for you, when we have Blackpool at home (explained earlier) and Newcastle away (5-1 and 2-1 earlier at St. James' say all).

It's very nice to see you Gillespie.

I do wonder whether you'd be anywhere in sight if the score had stayed 1-0. Business being what it is - always off on another trip.

Admirable effort but I have to say of little relevance

The results of previous season's results have no bearimg on this season otherwise Chelsea would be top

Nice to see you too Jasonrh, after all you kindly donated my avatar slippers

No trip now til May and very cynical of you to suggest my presence here today had anything at all to do with last night's result

Really!

We're not going to win the quadruple in a million years. This place would go mental if we did though.
:lol: Fk me

You should have seen what happened on here in that 4 / 5 days back in 2005 when they lost the FA Cup final to us and then a few days later Liverpool went and did the mother of all comebacks to win that Champions League trophy v Milan

Trust me Al you've never seen a melt down like it

bit of a giggle I can tell ya :D

Coming from the king of meltdowns that's pretty funny.

Even in your worst nightmares back then, I bet you didn't think you'd have to watch us dominate the next 5 years, whilst you regressed into the raving spastic you are today.

Some of your old posts from your banned account are pretty funny, when threads are bumped from time to time. It's not surprising the last 5 years have been so tough on you.

I'm looking for the Liverpool Milan match thread, with no success :lol: It's probably been deleted somewhere in history.

Yes, yours thread in 1999 would have been full of praise and congratulations :smirk:

You are laughing, but that's pretty sad thing to admit... we talk about something what's probably deleted somewhere in history. Just like your last trophy. Back in 2005.

In '99 you were the best side in the competition and deserved to win it. So when you did, despite the circumstances, it was alright because it was really the right thing to happen.
