Harry is correct and Schmmeee has explained why. The probability of each individual draw is 0.5 each time. For the next two draws the probability of two homes = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. Similarly for two away it is 0.25. However for one home and one away there are two combinations that work: HA =...

That's true. It is all about odds and over time it is likely (but not certain) to even out. However that doesn't alter the probability of a home tie in the next round.

No, he's wrong.

The balls in the bag don't remember that we have had three home ties. It's a 50-50 chance.

I would hope that if we drew a huge club away with a ticket pay off of £1m +, the club might just agree to spend some of the money before the tie.

If that's directed at me I'm not moaning - I think it's great.

The prize money isn't great until the very late stages - the majority of the benefit is gate money. I reckon a total of £225k benefit from today.

£225k from today: £175k from the gate + winner prize. Man U or Liverpool away now so MR can get his wallet out.

Man U away please for a £1m pay day.

get in!

Glad we've cleared that up. I'm off.

Nietzsche shouldn't be read because it's boring and inconsequential. I seldom fail to finish a book, but 'Beyond Good and Evil' succeeded.

You are moving on. I'm not going to bite yet until we've cleared up whether Corbyn is a major threat and the imperfections in the UK today are even slightly comparable.

Pick one. Is May equivalent to any one of them?

Trotsky was responsible for many deaths himself - even though he lost out on the 'who's the biggest psychopath' pissing contest. But yeah, I'd go if I was in the area too. But then I haven't praised these regimes have I? So it would be pretty clear that I was on a tourism thing rather than a...

Ron, do you really, honestly, in your heart and your brain, believe that the present government is equivalent to Pol Pot; Mao; Stalin; Maduro; Tito; Trotsky; Lenin; Ulbricht and so on and so on? If you do, I'm not debating with you. There is a point at which the person who continues to make...

You're sniping. OK, it's not proven that Corbyn visited Trotsky's grave, there is just circumstantial evidence that he did. However that's not really the point is it? He and his team admire all of these Socialists/Communists - even if they were murdering dictators.

I don't tolerate things that are wrong, I am prioritising. Corbyn is the clear and present extreme danger. I do not condone right wing dictators either - I'm a centrist. If we had an extreme right wing party that looked like it could take power I'd do exactly the same. Communist/real...

I looked at them last night for a while through a telescope. However even though 13 billion years is a long time I didn't see Max score ;)

One interesting pattern I'm finding so far with socialist dictators (but I'm only a few in so I don't know if it will continue) is that they were born into relative wealth but failed to progress with their education. Could it be a case that they had extreme ambition but not the ability to...
