By the way, the odds of you predicting 2 opening games on the bounce are 1784/1. About the same chances as Cairney one day playing for England...
The chances of him predicting the next 2 opening games are long odds, but the chances of him getting 2 in a row right are 1 in 46 because he already has the last one right and there's only 46 possible fixtures for the opening day. EDIT: BTW, how've you worked it out as 1,784? A Championship season has 46 alternatives so two seasons would be 46*46, I can't be arsed to work it out but it ends in a 6, and a PL season is 38 so a PL season and a Championship one (38*46) will end in an 8, and 2 PL seasons (38*38) will be less than 1,600.
He reckons he predicted Fulham for the opening day of the PL season. The odds of doing that are 38/1 (if you say home or away) He also claims that he predicted Swansea for the opening day of last season. The odds of that are 46/1 (if he stated we would play them at home) 46 x 38 = 1784
Actually, I may have confused you by saying two on the bounce. I meant those two Cairney-For-England stated. Anyway, doesn't matter, I'm tired...
I didn't predict 2 correct in a row though 1st season in the prem i predicted - FULHAM 2nd season I predicted - WOLVES 1st Season in Champo - SWANSEA
Right I see now, you've got the last two digits the wrong way round. All I knew was the last digit was wrong because the 6*8 would give an 8 at the end. Should probably have worked out that example myself knowing that 38*38 would be less than 1,600 (40*40) and that 46*46 would be over 2,000 (45*45 being 2025).
Millwall? Or was that just an early kick off because of Unless you were QPR, Cardiff or Leeds (or playing them) you really didn't get much tv time, the BBC were the main culprits for this, Sky were a bit more selective. Though if those were the 4 games sky showed, Preston aside i don't really blame them for not showing us anymore!
Agreed, I can sort of see why they liked QPR so much but what was with the Leeds obsession?! FL show favoured them too.
