Singapore Saint Posted 14 March, 2019 Share Posted 14 March, 2019 Done some calculations on how likely the English teams are to be drawn against each other in the Champions League quarter-finals: Probability of AT LEAST 2 English teams meeting each other in the CL quarter-finals = 3/7 + 4/7 x 2/5 + 4/7 x 3/5 x 1/3 = 77.1% Probability of ALL 4 English teams MEETING each other in the quarter-finals = 3/7 x 1/5 = 8.57% Probability of ALL 4 English teams AVOIDING each other in the quarter-finals = 4/7 x 3/5 x 2/3 x 1/1 = 22.9% Probability of LIVERPOOL being drawn against either Man Utd or Man City = 2/7 = 28.6% Assumption: Draw is entirely random.

kwsaint Posted 14 March, 2019 Share Posted 14 March, 2019 and that is where it all falls down. Was it true that in the scottish cup they used to warm the Celtic and Rangers balls before the draw so that they could prevent them playing each other?

Singapore Saint Posted 14 March, 2019 Author Share Posted 14 March, 2019 0% I thought they were not able to be drawn together before the semi. They are, the rules have changed in that teams from the same nation are not kept apart as they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 14 March, 2019 Share Posted 14 March, 2019 Man City have got Barca Too risky for Barca. They'll be coddled into the semis at least. Hopefully it’s Spurs v Liverpool, then at least one of the c*nts will go out. Sounds like a plan. With City or Barca waiting for the winner in the semis. Warm up those balls.

Badger Posted 15 March, 2019 Share Posted 15 March, 2019 As long as Liverpool win Jack,I don't care. Did you mistype that or would you really be pleased to see VD win it? Anyone but a team with VD in it, or Spurs, is preferable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nta786 Posted 15 March, 2019 Share Posted 15 March, 2019 6 English teams through to the quarters of Europe, when's the last time that happened? 1971 apparently. anyway draw been made. i do think its slightly suspicious how the 4 favourites for the trophy have been kept apart, if i was a conspiracist.
