What you don't understand is  that some predictions are more likely than others. so much so that some predictions can be almost nonsensical whilst others are practically bulletproof. You decide which of those Dortmund winning the league is. Calling Bayern 'favourites' like you might say City are 'favourites' is a dodge in itself, you are implying the chance of Bayern winning the league is similar to the chance of City.

This is what I disagree with:



See how you are likening Bayern vs Dortmund to Madrid vs Barca or Chelsea to City.

Btw my mother tongue is English, and my knowledge of probabilities is better than most


you pretend to have read what i posted yet you imply i claimed the exact opposite. "chance of bayern winning the league is similar to the chance of city"?! i neither said nor implied that, in fact i stated in that very post that bayern's the biggest favourite amongst them...
i mean, seriously? you know what, this is ridiculous. either you are just mad or a troll or just really unable to read or you lied about english being your mother tongue i don't know. either way, here is the dro version:

1. dodge / prediction / fact / almost / probability - read up on those words and concepts
2. read again what i posted
3. i seriously hope for you this is just an act

It's pretty sad that fender brings up a lot of reasonable points and everybody else just focusses on 1 single sentence - which btw is debatable but not wrong at all, because thankfully football is football and everything can happen.


Well unfortunately when you make one silly statement one tends to ignore everything else you post...

The easy way, yeah

Still no silly statement, just doesn't sound realistic for a lot of people now. But surprises happen in football, and they happen all the time, no matter how superior some teams look.

Just one very recent development: Who the fuck would've predicted someone else than Barca/Madrid winning La Liga last year?

No. Fucking. Body.

Football is played by human beings. Form. Tactics. Luck. Injuries.

funny you'd say that because this statement:

Uhhhh  If you're going to use Wolfsburg, Leverkusen or Schalke as title contenders you might as well say that Crystal Palace or Hull win win the Premier league.


is, amongst those who even remotely tried to contribute, by far the silliest...


anyway, back to topic:

i'm the last person not to admit that last season was boring and i'd hate if bayern continue to dominate like this but...
seeing how english top clubs have become the plaything of foreign sugar daddies, seeing how their national team performs because their talented youth players rarely get a chance to develop and play, seeing how the big spanish clubs completely destroy the transfer market and basically live at the cost of the small clubs i have to say that's a small price to pay and i wouldn't change it just to be able to say i'm fan of the "most attractive" or "most watched" league in the world. but to each their own ofc...
