Title Chances Gone for Arsenal?

Let's let some math do the talking.

(sportsclubstats.com)

So this morning, along with every other article out there came the headline "Arsenal's Title Chances Gone" or "Door slammed shut, title dreams killed". Well, I wanted to find out just how 'killed' they were. Let's do some math.

These are the calculated and plotted probabilities of teams winning the Premier League. As you can probably guess, the top brownish color is Chelsea at 66.1%, with Manchester United trailing in red at 33.9%. After today's inspirational defeat to Wigan, Arsenal's chances are 0.1%.

Yeah, but I didn't need statistics to tell you it's a two horse race now.

BTeeDubs, the graph came from SportsClubStats.com. I absolutely love the website because it uses so many odd statistical methods for so many leagues, well, it's just too comprehensive. I do encourage you to check it out, as it's always fun to use some rational methodology to your drunken wagers against friends.

Never too old


Honestly, some players age better than wine. Enjoy that taste Gary.

The race is wide open. Three weeks.

Possible Leaked 2010 Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool Kits

So I remember a couple years ago when AIG replaced Vodaphone, that it was declared the most lucrative shit sponsorship in football history. I remember thinking that it all must have been a part of the soon-to-blow bubble, and that there would be nothing else to come close to that, but wait. New shirt sponsor Aon to take over for 20 million a season. Wait. What? Aon is also an American Insurance company? Can they please get a policy against this?




I love this. I have a feeling a half green and yellow away kit for next season would go well all around.

Liverpool caught wind of this, and decided to try and one-up the Mancs on absolutely hideous design.



The authenticity of these is questionable, as the away kit has a Champions League patch. Why would they need that? Here is a better possibility, but with no shirt sponsor yet.



While we're speculating kits, here's an interesting throwback idea.

Y Hallo Thar... Nevermind

This is horrible. And only worse to watch. Beckham out of the World Cup.

Backwards Pass: Yanks Out, Mancs Not

Well this is embarrassing. Here's a wonderful red crowd butchering a classic John Denver song.



Really, who is the guy on the microphone? Who gave it to him in the first place?
