Chasing Europe - Everton vs. History

[RobotCrow]

IF you can mate, I would consider supporting somebody else.

Everton are mostly poopoo.

It was a lengthy selection process, but I knew what I was getting into and I chose correctly. I was thinking of writing about that process sometime, but I'm afraid some tool will just tell me that choosing a club is done on grass or something.

I'm doing a stats module in my Uni course.

Next time I want to see some Standard Deviation, Box plots and maybe even some Interquartile ranges *drool*

I think I need a cigarette.

No need to be brisk chap.

I was just playing the advocate of the devil.

Would it help if I backed up and slapped a winky-face on that?

I have suffered no ill feeling my friend, my only wish is that you have the same feeling.

wow 1 win in 9 games was our downfall.

I wanted to thumb you right in your excellent First Post, but GOT won't let me.
Then this one came along too, here's another thumber.

if our results over the next 8 games mirror their early-season counterparts we'd end up with 13 points.
I just mathed that out.

SCIENCE BITCHES

On a serious note though, how much predictive accuracy do historical results count in something like football with all its season-to-season variables.
Could a statistician of Robotcrows stature (you're like the sexy rockstars of statisticians right?) actually come up with a more-or-less accurate predictor of results (aside from real outside variables)? Do betting companies do something like this or do they thumbsuck? Is stats actually magic?

Very good look at the historical record, thanks OP.

To be honest, I think we're about where we should be. We drew so many of those games because our football varied between average and abysmal during that period, and our main striker has been misfiring for most of the season.

If we get 9 points at home.
3 points at Sunderland, and a point for every tough away. that gives us 16 points. what does that get us?

Either the car or the day trip to Alton Towers I think...

I am terrified of the derby this year, never ever ever watch it.

This year actually terrified.

My uncle never ever watches them. They haven't watched one for like 15years.
I always say I'm not watching it but can't bloody help it.

He always tells me 10minutes before kick off, he just walks around Liverpool untill full time.

Never wanted to win one more actully. Want this more than the cup semi for some reason

Would be great if Suarez can just get a booking in the next two matches...

absolutely no chance
