Doesn't use any, from what I've gleaned. But he'd probably know better who our pillow partner is.

I'm starting to wonder if this is the gayest non-gay forum on the internet.

Well, with "Fancy a bum?" being one of the most-asked questions by some, you have to.

Just cos a few journos think they are gonna kiss goodbye to 720m it doesnt make it true.

He does bear a bit of a resemblance to the My Pillow guy...

So bin off the League Cup and FA Cup plus the international breaks. That would leave 19 weeks minimum for a 38-game season (games Wednesdays and Sat/Sun). If you start the season on New Year's Day, you finish mid-May. Obviously, an earlier start would be preferable and a later start would bollocks the whole thing up. Of course, there could be a solution to that as well -- play 19 games, then split the league into two, with each group playing another nine games (and getting the reverse fixture of the one played in the first round, so a team would have 10 home and 9 away in the first part, 4 home and five away in the second and vice versa, meaning all 20 teams would have 14 home and 14 away games). Not perfect, but it would be a lot fairer than just a 19-game season.

You might not have thought this through properly.

Let's suppose that after 19 games, Everton are in 10th position. They will then play the teams in 1st - 9th positions.
Let's suppose that they have already played all of those 9 teams away from home. They will then play all 9 games at home in the second part of the season.

Highly unlikely, but point taken.

Highly unlikely, but point taken.

It is extremely unlikely but no more unlikely that 5 teams in the top half will have played 4 home games and 5 away games and the other 5 will have played 5 home games and 4 away games.

I think you'd find the 5-4 or 4-5 split a lot more likely than a 9-0 or 0-9 split, just on mathematical probabilities.

Not sure that it really matters. Both are massively unlikely.

So it the possibility of such a season structure, at least in England. It was just a hypothetical. But in terms of probability, a 9-0 or 0-9 split is 1 in 1,024; that of a 5-4 or 4-5 split is 126/1024.
