    Afternoon all.
    I've deliberated and think 1-1.

    We have Pappis Cisse back soon who is a capable finisher so the goal side of thing's will improve soon. I am quietly confident against Sunderland especially if we start Andros Townsend.

  3. Rafa has a good record of using a player named Cisse during his first season with a club too

    A draw doesn't help either of us, only a win will do. We beat you and then West Brom and we can put some daylight between us.
    COME ON !
    I can smell 3 points.

    Get the feeling whoever wins this game stays up ......whoever loses goes down .....a draw might see both go down .....Door # 3 Works for me , rather hand out 2 points than 3 .........bad unluck from a nervous Swan fan .
    Otherwise , have a great day .

    Now what do the laws of probability say about a coin toss coming up heads 7 times in a row? Is it the same at each toss or do the odds diminish each time....never that good at maths.... cannot figure it out.

    Logic says, you are at home, new manager and you generally play better at home. We have had **** luck and could have got a few wins but cannot keep clean sheet (something we are both awful at).

    Who is going to win... heaven knows but I hope we do...

    8-0 Home win

    reason behind this thinking.

    The last time we appointed a manager of Rafa's ilk was Sir Bobby, he also lost his first game away from home 1-0 only to have his second game at home to Sheffield Wed's, a result that finished 8-0 with shearer knocking 5 in.

    So 8-0 Mitrovic to score 5

    If this happens I'll cut my cock off and serve it to a tramp in a bun with a smattering of Mustard and Ketchup on (no onions).

    Are you referring to that wild guy with a funky hair colour?

    If everything is equal then Out of every coin flick would be 50% chance either way. The next flick would be 50% as so on. However to get 2 in a row it would be 50% x 50% which is 0.5x0.5 and then multiply this as many times of the flick.

    A football game is not evenly spread in terms of odds on results but if it was then 33.3% chance of winning, 33.3% chance of drawing and 33.3% chance of losing.

    So 0.33 x 0.33 x 0.33 x 0.33 x 0.33 x 0.33 x 0.33 = 0.00043which is 0.043% chance of that happening.

    No predictions from me...I will be attending the game and be over the moon if we win. However, I would probably take a draw now if offered..

    I recently watched that game in Istanbul. That Steven Gerrard header was literally perfect, nice cross from the firecrotch too.

    But if the first 6 have already happened they have no bearing on the 7th so it's still a 33% chance.

    But I assumed the original post was in reference to Sunderland winning the last X amount of games v Newcastle so was talking about odds of another Sunderland win?
