Will there be lasagna? The Other Teams Thread [R]

certainly looks like it.

 

Fergie said Rooney told him he want to leave but the club turned it down.

He gone.

 

Lol at United.

 

This type of data is tricky to deal with in that it is variable in time and there are a number of potential significant confounding relationships, but a simple analysis definitely points in the direction of significant bias.

For example, we can compare the average number of points earned per game for games with and without Dean over the last three seasons. If there was no bias we'd expect these two values to be pretty similar. Plugging in the observed results we see a highly significant difference (2.03 without vs 0.533 with).

Obviously this is not definitive but I believe you've posted links before to sources that did more sophisticated analyses with larger data sets that showed similar conclusions.

 

he hasn't even posted anything to assess definitive with. at least i went through this season's us+dean. there's not a damn thing to see. we plain sucked.
it was claimed dean's decisions have been assessed by other "pros"....so, if other "pros" have found a noticeable bias, have they reported/complained about this to the FA, the Referee's Association, UEFA, and the UEFA Referee's Committee? why do i suspect this has never happened?

 

lol.. I saw Mancini's sacking coming.

He bought shitty players last close season. And van Persie's signing more or less made the difference for United. Mancini can blame the board, but maybe they wanted him out all along so stifled him, who knows? lol..

 

this is where you came in. this is NOT conclusive proof of bent refs. it proves absolutely nothing at all. wasn't it only a year or 2 ago he was supposed to be biased for spurs? oh look. your table suggests he isn't!
i've went through a full 33% of those dean+arsenal matches and NOTHING suggests a bias, and to make matters easier for everyone i didn't pick and choose bits here and there. i took every single match he has reffed us this season. if you want, feel free to do the previous 10 arsenal matches and come back with your examples of obvious bias because there is NOTHING to be seen in the last 5.
i asked you to show where this bias was. you haven't done so yet. so until you do i am calling BS re: arsenal+dean=negative bias

 

not too short to accuse but too short to back it up, eh?......pfft

 

it's your responsibility to back up a random post in another thread, not mine.
you might convince me, but you haven't tried to.
yes, your post was a complete waste of time. i agree.

 

lamb, why do u push people for arguements all the time? u did the same with anti the other week

it's obvious the decisions tilt toward united, look at their red card/penalty free (before the league was clinched) season and the constant injury time past 5 mins and dodgy pens over the years

hopefully it changes now gollum is ikn charge

 

Depends on what you mean by adverse decisions.

A goal two yards inside the line ruled out, or a clear goal ruled out for offside at your main rivals aren't adverse decisions?

As we discussed before, if you take every decision in every game into account as the debatable decisions website claim to do, then Arsenal are actually having the biggest positive "tilt" this season.

 

psg completed their 300 million pound purchase of league 1 today...

 

They seem to have disappeared completely from the inter webs a month ago. Strange.

 

Pffft, we've been screwed by the refs more than anyone this season. There's no conspiracy - refs are just shit and have some minor biases; but all humans do. As for United - the better you are, the more you generally get decisions, and nothing in their games this season has been particularly egregious that I recall, other than perhaps that awful, awful second yellow on Torres for diving (the one that Jonny Evans thought was justified ).

 

You don't understand statistics or bias.

 

Nice, is arguing against the dodgy correlation-causation argument and yet he's the one who doesn't understand statistics?
