Retro interest comes in 30 year cycles when the generation that "grew up" with something has gotten kids of their own and want their kids to experience what they liked when they were young. It'd have been too close to do a revival/reboot at the time from a sales/marketing perspective.

Because Adidas wasn't our shirt sponser then? We released "retro remakes" under Ashley, but without the Adidas logo and all the other Copyrighted Adidas stuff.

Beating Arsenal has just made it even harder for us to win our next game you know...

Don't understand this tbh, I never watch the CL because it's boring as fuck. The EL and Conference League always entertain. That said, I'd much prefer NUFC in the CL, of course It'd be different if we were in it, but all matches not involving us would be just as boring as they always have been.

That model is the gift that keeps on giving

Also, given it's football related there might be better luck finding competitors by airing this in the football section

Could perhaps even do it as a semi-fundraiser for the forum; £10 buy-in, £7.50 go to the winner takes all pot and £2.50 go to the running of the forum.

In. Should run one for money and one for honor at the same time IMO. Meaning the ones that want to waste their money can do so and the ones that are clever and don't waste money can do so as well, yet both can compete together at the same time. The £ winner is the last man standing of the ones that put £ on, but the "true" victor is the last man standing even if they didn't put any money on.

Last bit was my confusion, the CL/EL/CFL winners no longer take a spot from their respective leagues if the winners don't re-qualify through them

How?

I'll never understand anyone not swapping Same goes for anyone not breaking out of the Sunken Cost Fallacy once they've been made aware they're in one.

How good are your memories, people?! I can barely remember yesterday

The odds of winning these nine fixtures were 1 in 136 before the first one, I'd not have put money on those odds. The odds of us winning the next four fixtures are 1 in 7.40, I'd put money on those odds. tl;dr we won't win nine in a row because I'll now have money on us winning the next four

That's not my perception of events, as I understand it he's arguing for it being less likely that we win our next four fixtures because we've won five in a row. Not that the concept of winning nine in a row is an unlikely feat in general, which is something I agree with.

Bookies has us winning the next four with a probability of 1 in 7.40 Us winning the four matches before those were given a probability of 1 in 14.69 Us winning the past five was 1 in 18.37 Tell me how "winning nine in a row is an unlikely feat" means it's less likely we win our next four fixtures when all matches start 0-0?

It just doesn't, though You're arguing on behalf of a logical fallacy

The argument "9 wins in a row is unlikely" is only applicable to a situation before any of said 9 matches have been played. Once the first of nine have been played, that standard of probability "measurement" is void.

But it's not less likely because a 9 game win streak is an unlikely feat to pull off. That 9 game streak has nothing to do with how likely/unlikely it is for us to win the next four fixtures, it has no impact on anything in the world as it's an artificial measure we've made up and applied to the current fixture list. The next four matches exist completely outside of any measurable force applied to them by "9 wins in a row is unlikely".

It's all about the phrasing I reckon. "A club winning 9 in a row is a very rare achievement and therefore us managing to do that isn't very probable" vs "Winning the next four is unlikely because we've already won five in a row"
