Top of the league...only if it begins with a L

Leicester the only other team in the top ‘5’ leagues that begins with L

Must mean this is an incredibly rare occurrence. Must be rare enough to have one team beginning with L in each league, let alone all be top.  Think in 14/15 when we were top there was a moment when all were topped by a team beginning with B (although maybe the Prem wasn't). But B is common as muck.

Odds on all 5 leagues finishing like that?

Let's say we take probabilities from the start of the season

Taking every team in top 5 leagues as statistically independent, it is a chance of 1 in 3.3 million. Obviously this isn't the case and some teams are more likely thank others to win a league.

So let's say 4 teams could win the prem (excluding Leicester), 6 for championship and 10 for each subsequent league (fair estimate I think, each league is less predictable as you go further down the pyramid).

Still gives a probability of 1/24000.

Anyone got any other factors to include? Having a very slow day at work!

Yeah, remember that, I recall it was "Boring Chelsea" top of the Prem at the time !

Just seen Hodge's post above, doh !  :whistle:
