How many trophies will we win?

Will be? That happened weeks ago now fella. And yes, I was beside myself with rage. Proper upset, I was.

But...

Thanks to my GP prescribing me a little something, I'm nearly OK again.

Bookies think my ridiculous odds are less ridiculous than yours.

Of course they do. Their business is in making money off fans. They reflect the real underlying probability, which is what we are calculating and their margin. I believe we should be joint favourites with Barcelona, but your odds are silly. They imply 70% chance in each tie. Just about acceptable for SPurs, but not the later rounds where we will likely face stronger sides. If we meet Juve as seems likely, it will be 50% at best, and Barcelona probably less than a 50-50.

You really think we only have a 40 percent chance of the fa cup?

I would say fa cup 80 percent chance - league 50 percent chance and champions league 35 percent chance.

So not using a calculator and multiplying all 3 about a 13 percent chance. 100 / 13 - about 8-1.

But one game at a time.

It is within touching distance

My concern is that by going all out for all 3 may mean we end up with none. Maybe something has to give

I'll type this slowly for the hard of hearing; "Community Shield". It hasn't been the "Charity Shield" since 2002.

Do you call the cup City just won, the carabeo (or however it is spelt?) or the
league cup?
It is the league cup (to me) just as the Champions League is still the European Cup in the Emperor's New Clothes.
I still call Manchester Arena the NYNEX ;)

I call it the league cup. Which is its official title when you ignore sponsorship. The trophy that is competed for as a "curtain raiser" for the new season is officially known as the FA Community Shield. Weird concept, eh; calling something by its official name. Doubt it'll ever catch on, mind.

That plastic rag from Nottingham is fucking shitting himself in case City piss all over Utd’s 99 treble winning team by becoming the first English team to do the quadruple.
