Sod maths. I always hated it and I still do. Your statistical analysis only accounts for the number of people in the world and is therefore partial, making it wrong.

Let me explain:
  • Firstly, I'm a short bloke and as such I have good sprinting muscles. I may be old, but I can still do 100 yards in under 14 seconds. The people who want to stab me are normally quite tall and, although they can jog for ages, I can generally beat them in a sprint. This significantly increases my odds of escape.
  • Secondly, I'm an insignificant little runt. I'd probably be overlooked completely in any stabbing scenario.
  • Thirdly, being small, I'm harder to hit.
  • Point four - as an avid watcher of BBC News, I always wear a stab vest when I go out, making me much safer.
  • Fifth point - I don't actually live in London and only go there to watch Spurs or get my Lucky Wife's car serviced. My neighbourhood is lower middle class. There are very few stabbings in rural Hertfordshire, where I spend 97.84% of my life..
Combine these factors and my odds are indeed at least a billion to one against being a stabbing victim. It's not just about counting bodies, you know.

THE RESULT
As there's only about one stabbing every 5 days in the capital I've multiplied 9 million by 5. Then I've modestly multiplied that figure by two for each of the five other factors (bullet points, above) you have failed to take into account. This gives a total of one billion four hundred and forty million.
So, in reality, my chances are significantly better than I estimated. I could probably leave the stab vest at home when I get the car serviced.

If you're going to get involved in a row about statistics, gather the facts first, mate.

ps - I hate the term, 'fella'.

I was in Liverpool city centre last week. I got mobbed by a seagull the size of a Labrador. He thought I was going to steal his donor kebab. I did think about it to be fair.

Easy mistake. Probably a supporter wearing the away kit.

Irrespective of the opposition the other day, I saw enough to suggest we are in this game.
What I witnessed from Tanguy, Sonny, Lamela and co has been absent for some time. Kane slowly getting back into form as well.

Its not so much the scoreline, as pretty as 5 nil is, it was the relentless nature of our gameplan.

To be fair, that game could have ended up 7-2, as again they had chances, but we also blew a few sitters.
I hope Poch sticks solid with those that put in the other day.

Was it a turning point ? We will know very soon.

Have a walk late at night in some parts of London....see how your odds are then......fella.
P.s., i hate the term 'mate'
 
If we can stop them scoring in the first 15 minutes, I'll feel a whole lot more confident about it. I just don't want to feel embarrassed when I walk into work on Monday if I'm honest...

Irrespective, I don't think there's a lot of shame in losing to this Liverpool team, even if our current form was what it was, I don't think we'd be thinking this was going to be a win, our record at Anfield is fucking shite.

To completely contradict myself however, I've watched quite a few of their games this season due to my mate being a fan, and they really haven't looked all that convincing so I definitely feel an upset could happen here. What's the point if we don't feel we can have a go? Fuck em.

Imagine if we win this game, it will do wonders for our season imo.

Even if we lose, I want to see the same fight we witnessed in the CL, if we get that I will be happy.

Always important but seeing fight usually equates to a tight loss or better, in a simplistic way.

I want to see similar but mostly I want us to show belief, conviction and concentration. A game plan and a desire to frustrate Liverpool.

But also I ask myself to see context. Liverpool are a beast at present and at our best in recent years and at a ground wheee we never do well the match has to be seen sensibly.

It's the matches thereafter that will tell us what we need to know.

But yes, dare to dream.
 
First time since we played United away & they needed to win to stop Woolwich winning the title is there spurs fans wanting us to lose. Mixed emotions. Confusion reigns.

Yeah let's not forget Liverpool are on another level to us & our players no matter who's in charge.

Hmmmm.....

I think they have a better manager pure and simple.

Players-wise and in my opinion, take Van Dijk out and it's not as big as results and the last year suggest.

But they are on a crest of a wave at preaent, due entirely to their manager.

I agree that its Pochs fault for picking him. But Winks isnt good enough . We and Poch should have realised by now.

And that’s why I call him a scapegoat....He’s more than good enough.
People keep talking about working miracles but Poch can’t get the best out of Winks on a regular basis even though Southagte can?

Its a poor argument. Which is why nobody wants to do a head to head with the Liverpool squad.
Just the same old repetative shite about their “superior” squad being light years ahead.
Like Origi would get minutes in the CL final under Poch, or that we can have Son, Moura and Lamela ALL on the bench at once but Lallana, and Shaqiri are supposedly offering them squad depth that is “light years” ahead of us.

And this is the “real fanz” view
