EPL Season

correct me please, but you have an underlying assumption that all games have a loss vs draw weights that are linearly predetermined by chances of victory, no?

You could argue , for example , that Chelsky has a low chance of beating Everton but also a low chance of losing.

You could make it as complex as you want, but the precision will be illusory.

Back of the envelope is about as predictive as something that I could spend 30 hours on in this case.
 
I hear you.

Interesting though, that you think Spurs will have issues away at Soton.
 
OK, this is getting a little silly. Spanish press is objecting to Howard Webb because he did not throw out de Jong for his excellent karate kick on Alonso? And who on the Dortmund squad is going to perform martial arts on this occasion? Klopp would, but he is not eligible. Perhaps Kuba Błaszczykowski will nullify the Ronaldo threat by telling him Polish jokes all game long, and Webb will book Ronaldo for simulation, for rolling around on the floor holding his stomach.

I still haven't seen anything that makes me change my thoughts from before the season. Either Bayern or Madrid. If they play each other, I'd shade towards Madrid.

I still very much see the rationale behind the above, nor would I be comfortable facing Madrid over 90 minutes (rather than 180). However, I have to go back to the December 1st league 1-1 draw between Bayern and Dortmund ( I am sorry I don't recall what my friend Alex and I were drinking at the time, this is after all a wine board ), and how much we were impressed with the game overall, on both sides, technically, tactically. I remember thinking at the time that a neutral observer should be getting more out of this than any recent el clasico or top shelf EPL encounters. The wine was good too, whatever it was.
 
VLM, fb, et al -
when are the transfer deadlines for wine boreds this year, or does it depend on individual web hosting providers?
I am in advanced stages of negotiations with wine berserkers to move a few posters out from disorder, at least on loan, in exchange for some quality lurkers.
 
ESPN is reporting that SFJoe has made a multimillion dollar offer to bring Greg dal Piaz back to WD, though Snooth is rumored to be preparing a counter-offer.

Everything bacon fell into the northern rhone industrial yeast denial axis.

Jesus, fucking Muller.

Since most of you had better things to do today than to watch the Bavarian derby, this was Muller squared. When he opened the scoring with 20 minute to go, I was surprised to see him, I had assumed he had skipped the game to roll out the kegs early for the celebration on Marienplatz.
 
Why would Jose go there if he could do Chelsky?

I honestly don't have an opinion, just asking.
 
Pellegrini seems like the done deal. What about Benitez for the job, though? It's not like he'd have to relocate far.
