              The fourth team automatically loses the semi cos they are furrin.

                So it's just a 3/7 chance, which off the top of my head is about 43%.
                Wrong!

                        A quick calculation, taking that all teams have equal chances to go up, gives 0,125 (or 7/56) as chance for an all English final.

                        Who needs KH?

                        (And now let's hope I didn't make a mistake)

                          Working it out with 4 English teams is more fun.

                            You made a mistake.

                            There are 28 possible finals, and 3 of them have all English clubs.

                                There are 28 possible finals, and 6 of them have 3 have all English clubs.
                                where is this 6 from?
                                A v B
                                A v C
                                B v C
                                3 games. so i said 3/28.

                                but i think statistics say something about multiplying the chances. so
                                3/8 * 3/8 = 9/64, my second guess.
