haha, just found a good one from April 2004:

Who would be the best replacement for Gerard Houllier as Liverpool manager?

1 Gordon Strachan 10%

2 Alan Curbishley 6%

3 Rafael Benitez 9%

4 Martin O'Neill 47%

5 Jose Mourinho 19%

6 None of the above 9%

Depends how many have voted already.

You've fallen into a Daily Heil trap of falling for a "shocking" stat with no data to quantify it.

Shame on you.

Given that 17 is a prime number it must be at least 100 people. Which means OTF would have to get at least a similar figure of voters to get it weighing the other way.

82% bad, dearie me.

Mindzei · 10-23-2007, 06:46 PM

down to 80% bad now

Tbh if they'd posted this question on BBC's Have Your Say the percentage would be even higher.
