Now we are half way through the season and the league tables are taking shape what I have noticed is that Blackburn haven't drawn a game yet and Reading have only drawn two.
So for the second half of the season I shall be putting them both down for a draw and doing it as a double as well.

On what grounds mate? those stats would be a red flag for me when looking for draws. Blackburn average 2 golas a game and often win without conceding, they aren't cagey and play to win. Reading look a bit shit now and are losing plenty, think draws would be fluke results. Saying that, the festive fixtures do turn up a lot of shocks and draws.

On the subject of draws,,,,,,, that was my choice of bet and didn't do badly from sticking to that along with certain teams. The last two seasons have been shit for predicting results both in England and abroad where i had most success from.

I rarely bet now cause it's much harder to find winners and there's little or no consistencey from teams of any value. There was a time when i'd walk down the bookies no matter the weather to put my bets on cause i'd often win, can't be fucked anymore and it's saving me money.

Fuck me, luck is on their side. During this run, they have got through three penalty shoot outs.

The screenshot below just goes to show that stats mean fuck all at the end of the day. Europe here they come. I hope The Orient Express has plenty of Blankets and Flasks:

The only grounds I'm going by is probability PL, normally throughout a season a lot of mid table to play off places teams draw around ten games a season or more, I've picked these two teams out purely on the basis they are well due a run of draws and if my lucks in they might both draw on the same week.
I haven't had much luck picking winners this season so I'm looking for a winning formula, hopefully this will be it.

Ahhhhh, good old probability theory, Grasshopper....Beware, Sod's Law will usually play straonger than probability and fuck you right up.

That's the gamble but I've won more through probability than through my own predictions, in a casino once I watched the ball on the roulette table and where it landed and followed the pattern, at one point I noticed no high numbers had come in for a while so started doing them, soon enough I won, then Red hadn't come in so I did red and won again, the same pattern with even and odd numbers ensured I walked away with a healthy profit.
When I used to go to the dogs towards the end of the night I would back the traps that hadn't come in all night and had a few results there.

*Official* attendance was 17,464.
I don't think those above pictures were taken during the game.
(no players on the pitch - unless it was half-time).

Judging by the video below, the crowd could have been somewhere near that official figure. The away end seemed to be pretty full as well.

Conclusion? A lot of Spotter 'big gamers' from Kent turned up:

I really don’t know how anyone can read Charlton sad life and into the valley for more than 2 minutes. 4000 posts on new ownership and guff about being a big team. They are tiresome. They all come out with with “I understand….”, think they know what a NDA is. Pompous pricks the lot of them. As bad as palace. Wankers.

NDA?? Nardia's Dirty Antics?? I thought that site got shut down.
 
The tweet was posted at 7.32pm so not far from kick. Think Brighton sold 6k, so around 11k of spotters for their cup final.

Is that on the 7.32pm from Dartford, or from Charing X?
:grinning:

I have just read on their forum that there was some kind of balls up with a lot of people trying to get in and they were late getting to the seats.
Yeah, that seems about right for those cunts...

Fuck knows how they'll cope when Barca, Milan and Bayern come to town. They were probably having to oil the turnstiles last night cause they're rusty and haven't been used in years. Big club my arse.

From a spotter



This was a perfect storm, made worse by bad planning and decision making. The infrastructure at Charlton has been decimated by the owner’s cost cutting and there is now very little experience or expertise at the club. Add to that a lack of urgency and foresight on the Brighton side and predictably the supporters paid the price.
There were hundreds of Charlton fans with tickets still queuing to get in past 8pm. My family and I got in 12 minutes late and we only got in then because a steward came to the back of the queue and told us we could use the wrong turnstiles. Given that they couldn’t cope with a few thousand extra fans with tickets, it’s no wonder that it went wrong with Brighton fans needing to get tickets.

Sums it up really. Since the Pandemic, they've only been used to 6/7,000 turning up, making a mockery of their usual *official* attendance figures.

Can you imagine what's going to happen if they draw Utd next?
Thousands of CR's in every stand and swarming all over their gaff.
Christ, all those Red replica shirts, no one will know who the fuck is who. The only give away will be the blankets and flasks...

🤣🤣🤣

Think a lot bought tickets (that would’ve been included in the attendance ) but didn’t bother to go.

they’re on no life now talking about being a ‘special’ club. Ffs, absolute two Bob basket case of a club, but they scrap one ‘giant killing’ (something we do on a regular) and all of a sudden they’re special. Special needs more like. Deluded drips
