Manchester City vs Liverpool pre-match thread

[LFC-Fans]

Do you guys think Aguero will start for this one, I think I read somewhere that he will be fit,

but will Pellegrini be one to start him or bring him on as a sub?

So let me get this straight statoes. We have a 66.6 percent chance of a positive result on Sunday. Dipper pool have a 33.3 percent chance of a positive result. Hense we have twice the likelihood of satisfaction come Sunday evening.

That's some flawed maths right there.

The assumption with that is that the odds of a home win, an away win, an a draw occurring are exactly the same. This isn't the same as tossing a 3 sided object and seeing which side lands upwards! There isn't a 1/3 chance of each result occurring, you need to factor in a whole host of variables including squad strength, form, tactics and other things I simply can't be bothered to mention! If it was this simple then the odds at the bookies would be the same for a home win, an away win an a draw. Clearly they aren't!

All true. But according to the bookies, although Liverpool are more likely winners than City (7/5 vs 2/1), a City win OR a draw (13/5) is more likely than a Liverpool win. So he might have the numbers wrong, but he is still right in principle. It is more likely than not that Liverpool will fail to get the outcome they need.

There's a 161/182 chance of a result we need (City win or draw) vs a 130/182 chance of them getting the win they need.

If there's one thing this thread proves in abundance it's that we are a tolerant lot on Bluemoon.
We put up with dippers claiming that Sturridge is better than Aguero, that the noise at Klanfield on Sunday will make a Motorhead gig sound like a Trappist monastery, and then get told that we need to learn lessons in humility.
Yet one post on RAWK promoting my new Candle Poundshop on Miseryside and I'm banned.
It's like fucking North Korea on there.

Don't forget dead chicken mourners. Posts like yours regarding Liverpool should always make reference to dead chicken mourners.

Cant see Sergio starting to be honest mate, probably last 20 minutes, depends how sharp he has been in training.

It's kind of a bit interesting to go and have a look at the forums of "neutrals" at present, e.g. Arsenal Mania, Shed, Redcafé. There seems to be a consensus that just about everybody — yeah, even the rags — wants us to win, and that if it comes to a toss up for the Premiership between us and Liverpool, most prefer us. Liverpool fans at present seem to be truly generating hatred. I went and had a brief look on RAWK, but signed out after four minutes, it's like a madhouse over there.

Who knows. But personally I would start him and let him give us what he's got and then take him off when he's done.
