Err, sorry mate, but you've just shot yourself in the foot there.

5 Heads and 5 Tails is 252 times more likely that 10 Heads. ;)

Go on then share your formula/theory for concluding that....

Fair enough. Always find stuff like that really interesting.

Thank you.

100% - they have Thursday football so we’ll be Saturday game. No chance we’ll both be at home on the same day. Trafford is outside Manchester but Piccadilly gets heavily used by their fans :-)

Not wrong. The train from the airport is chock-a-block into Piccadilly on match days.

When we do lose at Wembley it's mostly when we are in the FA cup, weve lost 3 semi finals in the FA cup alone In a row at Wembley in recent years now that's fucking grim.

Under Pep we've got to five semi finals in six years , but only won one of them !!! Gulp

It doesn't look great on paper, hoping we can turn a corner in the fa cup and win It.

The stats don’t lie, but in how many of those games did we play anything like a full strength side.

Here's hoping we play to full strength for the rest of the competition even if we do qualify for the next round of the champions league I still want the fa cup to be our priority but it won't be.

This guy actually thinks all 4 games will be played at 15:00 on Saturday! Typical level of intelligence from a Rag ;)

Chelsea v Everton at teatime, Forest v Newcastle Friday night, so I reckon we will be Saturday lunchtime with the other 3 on the Sunday.

Hope we're an early ko I'd like to watch the tribute Meat Loaf guy at my local in the evening.

But of a mad reason but there you go.

The last-eight ties will be played from 17 to 19 March.
Looks as if one tie will be on the Friday night. With us playing in the CL on Tuesday 14th we could get the short straw as the rags will be Sunday for certain.

It's not, as each draw is a separate event they have exactly an even chance of being drawn at home each time. If a roulette ball had landed on red 9 consecutive times do you think the odds of it happening on the next roll would be higher than normal?

That's on a roulette wheel or coin toss but, we're (if going down the fixing theory) looking at items in a bowl .... marginally larger/smaller ball, number slightly raised, small 'dot' of extra material on it...etc
