The Fiver | An actual comeback with tangible benefits and everything

In today’s Fiver: Barcelona, Barry Davies, Sir Chips and more

Of course, the most important thing to note about this Barcelona comeback against Paris Saint-Germain is how it’s consolidated The Fiver’s status as Match Predictor Extraordinaire. Yes, yes, admittedly we called the result as 3-0 to Barça. But you see that comes off the back of our sensational 5-1 Bayern Munich prediction. So over the last 48 hours, our success rate stands at an impressively high 50%, a marked improvement on the previous figure of zero, taken from a now-discredited data set covering the period between 1998 and 4.59pm on Tuesday. Hey, cut The Fiver a little slack on this one, will you, we ain’t got nuttin’ else goin’ on.
