***Official*** English Football Season 2017/18

King Pietersen

International Captain
Yeah, Klaassen saved us a point there, superb save.

Crap performance in the 2nd half, but would take a point against City away any day.

Barcelona and PSG in pot 2 could make for a tasty group.

Roma and Napoli in pot 3 not to be underestimated either.

re: League Cup draw:

"In the FA Cup and League Cup City have been drawn away in the last ten ties, and each time they have been pitted against opposition either from the Premier League or the top six promotion places in the Championship."

Odds of well over 100000 to 1 on that happening. Nice. No fix tho.

I wonder how many people set their alarms for 4:15am so they could hear the draw for the English Football League Cup being made in China.

I presume that's the odds from a fixed point in time to make it look more dramatic. If you choose the starting point then you ignore the first incidence, which will reduce the odds by a significant factor. Also the fact that you're not picking a specific team, as opposed to just any decent team who's had good runs recently, which reduced it by a factor of 10 or more.

The odds of it happening at some point to some team in the past few years are going to in the order of 100s to 1.
