A 62% Chance: In Fact Almost Twice More Likely Than Arsenal!

A 62% Chance: In Fact Almost Twice More Likely Than Arsenal!

Picture 189

Good evening and welcome.

My thanks to Habib, the Hotspur’s Half Hour senior correspondent in Lahore, for sharing this gem with us all. It’s from the respected @TransferIndex and it’s a chart showing the per-cent chance the top eight sides have of qualifying for the Champions League.

Picture 186

 

Speaking of Champions League, if you really want to to see a man unraveling, here’s Aunty Wenger ahead of his team’s game tomorrow night at The Emptycrates.

Quite how that one against the Bundesliga leaders will turn out is anyone’s guess. Fingers crossed it’s badly.

Elsewhere the return of Eunice Kaboul is yet another reason for genuine cheer. Let’s hope that the old girl can get back to being prized asset he was before he got injured.

There has been a culture at The Lane in recent years of players taking for naffin’ ever to come back from injury. But, under the new regime I get the feeling that the those days may at long last be behind us.

  1. The first shall be last and the last shall be first.

  2. All’s well and good then, nothing to see here….

  3. I just took a look.Looks like my blood pressure is up

  4. Why the fuck is Arsenal Blue?

  5. Younes** Kaboul

    • Jesus. Good job you’re on the ball paul. Otherwise we might end up having a laugh.

      • Nits aren’t too commonplace anymore so nitpickers, especially the ones without a sense of humour Worry don’t have to much left to pick at….if that gives Paul some satisfaction then leave him be, I say…… Wink

  6. Harry which one is Fenchurch street to Shoeburyness again?

  7. In his enthusiastic rush to keep the site au courant, HH neglected to post the video of Auntie Wenger parrying questions more deftly and with more heat than his own goal keeper. You may check out this sad sight here:

    Cry Cry Cry Happy Cry

    • Harry the IT people are down the pub!!!!!!!!

    • I honestly feel sorry for the man.

      • Wenger is an ideologue.He has an idea and we keep it while Rome burns.
        Ideologues are like that.They are stuck with the one idea they have.
        Thats why I always question what AVB does as I wouldnt want to be stuck with an idea thats obsolete.
        With Wenger he believed he was Barcelona but I think what saved his arse more than anything was one playing or two.He thought he could lose them and stillhe would have his test tube babies to keep arse up there.
        In remember when Henry was injured then Fabregas they could be up the slack even now he is dying to take back Henry.Its over man..You are done.You aint Barca.Barca didnt lose one step without Pep.They are an organization.You are just a man with an idea. (When I mean You I mean Him)

    • No, the clip is good…in fact it is the same clip minus some training ground footage!

  8. Harry and Habib
    I wonder what you meant
    With the Chavs at 92 and us at 62
    looks like the whole things bent

    The arse are headed for the Championship
    ok its only 12 per cent
    but I promise you by Lent
    Sir Arsingham day is done and sent

    • If you interpolate between the coloured lines you will find amore likely mean as the final league positions, however this in no way factors in the calibre of opponent left relative to already played, the NLD may well define our season so the longer they stay in CL the better, still , COYBM.

      • Raz you should write a book about the theoryof reltativity and how it relates to football 2009-2013
        What would happen if the immovable and now immobile object,Sandro would meet the unstoppable force,Gareth the welsh wizard Bale in a wide Alley. I think its will create a nuclear explosion bigger that 100 nuclear bombs.

        No?

        Well maybe not

        • It would create BALEANDRO. An inter dimensional player made entirely from dark-matter. AVB is always talking about “Dimensions”

          Holtby is an Alien! You heard it here first.

  9. Arsenal are gonna beat us to the race just like every season,when are we gonna learn???

  10. Raz the 19-5 I suggested Tie/Man U win is looking not bad.
    its 44 minutes and looks like 1-3????

  11. heeyy i was just testing ya

  12. If Arsenal win the effing thing and we end up 4th in the Premier League we still won’t qualify !

  13. I have the Utd game on in the background. A certain G Hoddle is the pundit meat in a Keyes/ Grey sandwich situation. I love Glenn. That is all.

  14. Why do all the the shite sites and blogs adopt the question as headline approach? Discuss

  15. ……..or the 5 things you need to know / about as headline approach?

    • They could do something completely different like Monty Python.
      Take ‘Mexican Food’ that doesnt relate does it?????????

  16. I just don’t get Welbeck. He looks pance to me.

  17. 5 things you don’t want to find in a plate of Nachos.

    1. A betting slip that says Man Utd vs Reading HT 0-0, FT 2-0.
    2. A sixpence.
    3. Bill Oddie.
    4. A Mexican (or a part thereof)
    5. A piece of Sir Alex’s previously enjoyed gum.

  18. Can somebody send a copy of that graph to Brendan Rodgers, he’s is to the bindippers what Joseph Goebbles was to the germans.

  19. I love graphs. It’s their long necks and funny ears that I like best. And they look funny when they run.

  20. Harryboy.
    Any news about our good buddy astromesmo?

  21. If a picture really does paint a 1,000 words, then why have I got an itchy bottom?

  22. Interestingly I knew the chap that sacked Keyes and Grey.

    • I cant see any problem myself with a woman linesman mind you if its a transvestite that looks like an arsenal supporter I would have a problem with that

    • Please thank your mate who sacked Keys and Gray from all of us

      • His name is Barney Francis, son of ‘legendary’ sports journo Tony Francis. I can’t elaborate any further as to do may blow my cover. Everyone I knew from those days thinks I’m dead and I’d prefer not to disabuse them of that thinking.

        • This is better than Downton Abbey!

          Is this What’s my Line? How many questions do we get?????

          What did you write that put that price on your head?

  23. Austra;ian cricket is on now.They are playing Cameroon.
    Do you think if we win the Europa we will be drawn against them ?

  24. Has he ever been in a turkish prison..?

  25. Ron u type quicker than a girl…….did you do computer studies at secondry school….?

  26. Anyway…does anybody know wot has happened to robbo at blackburn?

  27. Thats it gotta go and type something

  28. They said the meteorites had nothing to do with that asteroid that passed the same day,friday,are they hiding something.seen arseand whingher flip today hehe what a pleb,”if you get good information from nowhere its good ,if you get bad information from nowhere its bad”,huh,great to hear kaboul back,yeah h hope he is the same player,he should be,our other beast

    • When we offer 30 mil for a player 2 seconds before the bell we are on another planet but when it comes to signing 20 Mill players for 1.5 mill Daniel is the best.

  29. I wonder what, according to this system, our chances of finishing above arse*** were at this point during last season?

    • Yes but this time last season we had a self absorbent rubber faced ” me dad used to take me up the arse every other Saturday” fan in charge, or hadn’t you heard?

      • Hartley one day you maybe in Brighton and the man may pick you up in his cab.
        You should think that while is more of a Wheeler dealer than a educated type, that there are too few left outside of Petticoat Lane, a dying breed of geezers and not fit to manage a quality organization like ours but nevertheless a part of the history of our great country.

        • You have sort of missed my point which is that old rubberchops was brought up an ar5eana1 fan, reason number one for me not taking to him from the outset

          • Hartley if we are taking that as a criterian why not have had Peter Cook managing us? Ok he is dead but he was a Tottenham supporter (take that for a start!) Or use Matthew Horne instead of Adebayor as the striker (admittedly he might do a better job)
            No I hate the arse but if any of them want to join us its fine.
            As Michael Corleone says “Its not pesonal its business”
            Its when they go from us to those bastards where I get iitchy

  30. ‘Eunice’ Kaboul is a pretty awesome player when he gets going, it’s taken time but i think he could become one of the best central defenders in the world in the next few years if he gets over this injury properly.

    He can also play right back, right midfield and centrally (almost anywhere as it goes) which is reassuring, also another option in defence frees Jan up to play further forward if need be as well. A lot on Parker’s shoulders as Thud and Liver are rotation players at the moment and if Parker gets another knock it’s an area we will need further options, possibly even if he doesn’t. With Holtby and the other attacking midfielders, an out and out beast in midfield might be just right in a crisis… Approve

  31. Weary it’s squeaky bum time now people, it’s that time of year

  32. auntie whinger always throws a wobbly at least 2-3 weeks before we play them and starts commenting about us and our players while at the same time saying we dont bother him and then saying we will fight to get past us. Nothing about winning anything . Bully :D elighted:

  33. I have been saying for some time that the North London Derby is our cup final. If we win that I see us finishing above Arsenal. If we win that AND the game away to Chelsea we may have a chance to go third! COYS!

  34. The large upswing of our chances totally corresponds with the departure of Jenas! Surely we can say his name now as he isn’t our bloody problem anymore!

  35. Also I like Benteke! He’s like a more amicable Bent!

  36. Could be a good signing,12m would do nicely,another beast

  37. Arsenal have a blue line I see! They of course have a blue outline to their badge which is a mark of respect to us so my Arsenal mate tells me.

  38. I hate this. I hate the graph. I hate February in general. I also have a feeling of deja vu.

    They are four points behind us. What was it last February, twelve or something?

    Two things I know about February: I am freezing my arse off. And summer is a long, long way off.

  39. That graph is hilarious!

    Wenger looks seriously rattled. Hopefully that will travel throughout the squad.

    looking forward to seeing Kaboul out there again.

    After the humiliating finale to last season no amount of good news, stats, graphs in fact nothing short of us actually finishing with a CL qualification will bring me comfort.

  40. fackin’ drongos, jast gittin’ thit outta me system, the insult isnt for anyone in pawticula, yis ah all wilcome to it….bladdy limies
