Computers? What do they know - Nothing. 16:26 - Jul 17 with 2998 viewsOldsmoker

Here's an article, the first of many, that will say we will finish bottom of the Premier League.
First up is one just called "The Supercomputer".
(Other supercomputers are available and their predictions will be trotted out spasmodically)
It's nonsense is here....

Bottom? Pfft.
I fart in the general direction of this article.

Oh hang on, 2nd from bottom was suggested by lots of Pundits.

"Computers are incredibly dumb, all they can do is count to 1. However, the speed in which they can count makes them capable of performing way beyond the scope of the human mind."

Don't trust a computer you can't throw out of a window.

+ Humans err but if you really want to screw things up, use a computer... which brings us back to the supercomputer.

The Super computer pretty much should stick to what it's good at. Finding prime numbers.

The irony of all this is that you and me and most of TWTD have a more 'In your Face' specced 'cooler' computer than 'the Supercomputer' which is just a 2-year old discounted PC from PC world.

So the supercomputer can give us the squad numbers right now, including or excluding Philogene, but only in binary ? I was expecting hexadecimal at least...

What is the basis of their calculation?

Team strength - tho it doesn't specify what that means. Presumably some spurious ranking of players based on their careers so far.

Betting markets - pfft. As if they are doing anything more than hedging their takings by giving shorter odds to those who have done well historically and upon whom the most bets will be placed.

An element of randomness - how random? In what areas?

It's not designed to be accurate, but to provide clickbait for journalists and customers for bookies.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

You would have thought computers would be a bit smarter. They need to plug in a few more stats and recalibrate...

We've been promoted to the top tier 4 times previously. In those seasons, we've won the division 25% of the time, qualified for Europe 50% of the time, and survived 100% of the time.

Also, the Opta Supercomputer had us at 18th last season 😂

Love the way they've already done the predictions and the transfer window hasn't closed yet. Plenty of change likely across all teams in the Premiership before the start of the season.

I've seen one other supercomputer prediction also, that put us in last place. It'd be interesting to see the predictions from last year and match them against last years table.
