Abstract: A comparison of the final league tables of the 1971-72 football season, with forecasts made by Goal before the season began, shows significant positive correlation. This seems to indicate that football results am not pure chance (although them is obviously a considerable dement of chance). The paper questions how the data would have been handled by statisticians who do not approve of significance tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
