We have more tough fixtures...So Man United who lead you by five or so points have no more than a 40% chance of winning the league? That makes great sense.
PS. 60% for Arsenal!

You werent very good at maths were you?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
Me being optimisticSo Man United who lead you by five or so points have no more than a 40% chance of winning the league? That makes great sense.
Pray tellYou werent very good at maths were you?
Really?Pray tell
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 chanceReally?
60% odds on the premier league
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?
'Given United's more difficult run-in we must be at least a 50% chance'Hey, but seriously, Gillespie. How can you think you have 60% to do it?
What a load of utter shit.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
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.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
Now, there's bitterWhy is this even being discussed? pfft, Everyone knows Arsenal trademarked the 'Invincibles'
OK that is about 200/1According 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.
No one is correct when it come to setting odds.they are all about individual judgment.But Gillespie had different odds to that, he must be correct as he isnt a wum
Not yet, but soon, my friend....very soonArsenal
Arsenal
By far the best team the world ever seen
It is a close call between chosing you or bookmakers.No one is correct when it come to setting odds.they are all about individual judgment.
United, they'll win by a clear ten goalsQuestion is not "Will they win the CL?", question is "Who will they beat in the final?"
Don't call me 'my friend'Not yet, but soon, my friend....very soon
Literary licence, my dear and the sentiment is reciprocatedDon't call me 'my friend'
You ain't my friend nor do i wish to know you
I hate you, it took me some time to give you those numbers and results.'Given United's more difficult run-in we must be at least a 50% chance'
Arguably better which is where the 60% comes from.Of course I do see it as a 2 horse race

Admirable effort but I have to say of little relevanceI 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?
How would the table look with those results every year,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 * * *
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.
But our poor results at Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are sure also this season!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
Fk meWe're not going to win the quadruple in a million years. This place would go mental if we did though.
Would you like salt with that?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.
Coming from the king of meltdowns that's pretty funny.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
I'm looking for the Liverpool Milan match thread, with no success It's probably been deleted somewhere in history.Fk me

Yes, yours thread in 1999 would have been full of praise and congratulationsI'm looking for the Liverpool Milan match thread, with no success It's probably been deleted somewhere in history.
It's there. Look in the archives from May 2007.I'm looking for the Liverpool Milan match thread, with no success It's probably been deleted somewhere in history.
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.Yes, yours thread in 1999 would have been full of praise and congratulations
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.
Were Liverpool the best side 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.
No, but I never said the meltdown wasn't unfair. It would just have been relatively funny to watch as a neutral. Although RAWK's match-day thread of 2008 would have been even better, I imagine.Were Liverpool the best side in 2005?
