Not happy with this in the slightest. FWIW I take no pleasure at all in City take the title over Liverpool.

This season's been beyond a disgrace and I dearly hope our players are watching the City celebrations and feel fucking ashamed of themselves.

Based on their attitude when Moyes was there - that is, not playing for your manager - I don''t think this'll be the case.

Regression to the mean is a very well known and proven part of mathematical statistics, in fact a great deal of common human error is due to ignorance or underestimation of regression to the mean.

jtb brought it up originally and I was simply replying that a large regression is unlikely due to a number of factors.

Yeah, got that.

I mean specifically in regards to sport and especially football, how successful is this type of prediction. Because there are alot of factors which you can't even consider yet because they haven't even happened...

Only watching through this shite cause Sky's end of season's montages are usually pretty good, even considering our awful year.

Despite the disappointment in the end, what a wonderful season this has been.

I loved the majority of i and feel like we can only get better from here. No shame in competing with two financially doped clubs and taking the title race to the last game.

Young squad who can all still improve and more investment and we can only get better.

Don't see why you'd think that. Ronaldo is at his zenith and playing for the biggest club in the world. Coleman is at Everton.

Similar poetic words were uttered before:

Bayern are on the brink of becoming the major force of Europe, already are dominant in their home turf, have one of the most stable stets of ideology and terrific fans and fans are only an icing of the cake. You are at Everton!

Salva pls

Enjoying the ManU mental breakdowns. No Champions League, no hope for the future, it's truly a dead team. Making fun of Liverpool going from 7th to 2nd while your team went from 1st to 7th, well, you have a lot of Gaal.

Congratulations, City and City fans. Deserved winners.

Great season by Liverpool but we just came up a little short at the end.

Still: lots to be proud of, and lots of thrills along the way.

the first 10 minutes against Bayern was literally the only time we played good football this season. and it wasn't just good football, we were actually outplaying Bayern. it was a beautiful 10 minutes. oh, what could have been.

that's one of Wenger's biggest failings—he doesn't have the players or the tactical nous to implement pressing properly. a possession game without pressing is just lifeless and not really penetrating enough to win games.

I remember those ten minutes, fuck we looked so great then. The kind of football I wanted to see, like killing machines. Pep looked absolutely terrified, Bayern were all over the place and then Özil choked.

Congratulations, City deserved it in the end!

Pellegrini has been really classy this season, especially when we beat you guys at Anfield and he waited to shake the hands of every Liverpool player, even Moses :lol.

I do agree modric needs a rest but pots?
up for debate. Real Madrid has exceptional players. Di maria for example. Or Sergio Ramos. CR7. Benz. Contrao, Pepe, Even Bale.

Very tough to say who is RM's PotS.

79 points to finish 4th this season. that has to be a record, right? A couple seasons ago, 79 points would have won you the title.

I've never seen any analysis of basic regression to the mean as a tool of prediction in football; every statistical model out there is far more sophisticated than basic regression to the mean and there is little need for them to analyze when it is most certainly already included in the models.

I think when we consider that in pretty much every single area statisical analysis outmatches human intuition, including football, regression to the mean will most likely be a fairly good layman tool for some basic predictions.

I agree, but I was desperate for Gerrard to win it, and I can see him retiring before it happens now.

First order of business is asking Suarez if he'd want to leave if Madrid come calling, just so we can get a contingency plan in action. Then we consolidate the squad and make sure we don't see a repeat of 09/10. Then we think about challenging for the league next year.


Can't hate Kompany. Nasri though... :p

Table is weighted on both edges this season, lots of congestion at the top and bottom, very few teams in the middle.

No but it was you who tried tarring United fans with the same brush, called me an idiot, then a tool and is acting like a very unpleasant person.

Liverpool did really well - I wrote them off big time at the turn of the year, but happy to eat crow on that.

But let's not pretend Liverpool haven't spent big money over the past few seasons.

Napoli, Norwich, Newcastle at home. We've had good games.

OT: Zabaleta's English is pretty darn good.

I wouldn't trust anything he says tbh. You're not gonna sell him no matter what anyways.

Giggseh says new manager this week.

Bit of a sad ending to a phenomenal, quite arguably our best, season in the PL era. The team will hopefully learn from this and we'll improve in the upcoming months. I look forward to our CL campaign but the wait will be excruciating.

Congrats CityGaf.

By all accounts, when we qualified for the Champions League, Suarez's release clause jumped into the £100m range.
