Stat’ll Make You Laugh
Mar 31st, 2011 | By admin | Category: General, Social MediaHad the misfortune to read the Metro on my way home from a meeting with Google today. Was thoroughly depressed by the whole paper until I spotted this little gem.
“It’s United’s year, vote rival bosses.
The majority of Premier League managers believe Manchester United will win the title this season. A survey of 15 of the 20 top-flight bosses by the League Managers’ Association sponsor Barclays revealed that 80% backed United to land a record breaking 19th Championship. Only 7% felt Arsenal would overhaul Sir Alex Ferguson’s men, whom they trail by five points with a game in hand. The same proportion (7%) backed Chelsea to complete one of the great comebacks in championship history by closing the nine point gap – again with a game in hand – to United.”
Now correct me if I am wrong, but if one manager out of the 15 voted for a particular team, that would be 6.66% – or if you round it up, let’s call it 7%. So what the article above may be saying is that Arsene Wenger thinks Arsenal will win, Carlo Ancelotti thinks Chelsea will win, and all the others are backing Man United.
