Southampton vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Villa Lew]

Surely it's gotta be an away tie. We've had 10 home cup ties in a row, the last away tie was Millwall in the FA Cup Jan 2013. The odds on 11 in a row must be massive.

One in two.

One in two thousand more like

The odds on getting eleven home times in a row is one in 2,048.

However, as we've already had ten in a row the odds on getting an eleventh is, as Paulie states, one in two.

Hm can't quite work out your logic there.

As a one-off choice - there are two options home or away - therefore 1 in 2

But there are 2 to 11th power )(=2048) chances of getting 11 homes in a  row

Easy

 

Reminds me of Connery's line in Red October
"Personally speaking", chomp, chomp "I put our chances at......1 in 3" chomp chomp

Bert with his square #2 ball must be in tears.

I'd like Hull away, there's a brilliant curry house near the ground

That's a tad long way to go for a curry.

Plus, it's really hard to find a decent curry house in Birmingham.

Point taken but the mixed tandoori dish is sensational

[Dave Cooper please]

Don't think it'll be MK Dons then.

It's actually a decent night out , maybe not on a Tuesday night though unless it's student night

Everything in life is 50/50. It either happens or it doesn't

I'd like a home draw against Carlisle.

Or an away draw v 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'

Hull Truck Theatre is supposed to be good - the European City of Culture bid was mainly off the back of it I think.
