Apart from the fact that there are too many variables to take into account and that ultimately they have one variable they can't really do anything with. The same chance presented to Shane Long 100 times in the same way wouldn't give the same outcomes as if it was given to Haaland, all other factors somehow being recognised and controlled so that all you would measure would be the taking of the chance. When actually, what you're doing is measuring the footballer so they haven't even measured the right thing. It has no validity, is subjective at best and has no more merit than Lord D saying 'He has crisp packet wrists'. Plainly he doesn't - they're cheese strings.

So there'll only be one club in Sheffield soon, then.

Isn't that that lot down the road?

Goal difference of minus 250?

Are you trying to be clever? Taking a quote doesn't mean anything, but here's what he said after his team's play-off win: “We’ve given it to a club that was going backwards and we had to arrest that before we could take it forward. “It’s not just the results that have got us to the Championship, it’s the way we’ve done it. How we built and galvanised the football club and got everyone back to believing that Charlton can be a great club again. Because it is a great club with great people throughout. ... “Great club. I came here wanting to build something. I took a gamble. I dropped two divisions, my last job was in the Premier League. “But I knew I could build something. This is the first step. Now, we kick on. “It’s outstanding. We put the work in. The staff put the work in. Players buy into gameplans and sacrifice everything. “Families, everyone makes sacrifices; this is the reward.”

From which idiot? He's just got promoted and vindicated himself. Unless he gets the boot, he'll be at Charlton.

Watched the game. No. That's for Quarshie, btw (edit).

You have no idea about Spors. So that's a stupid assumption. Seems pointless to me to speculate. Wait and see what happens on the pitch.

Except we know he means it like he does and not how you do, so it's a very valid stick. I really do think he's made for Leicester. If he takes them up he's a miracle worker. If he doesn't, he was hamstrung by circumstances and they were doomed to failure. Even with a depleted squad ( and JV ) they'll do well.

Unlike Martin, I see no snake oil on him. He is beardless, appears to not vape and does look (as someone said elsewhere) like Tintin.

I think Leicester should look at it this way: Points deduction, fine, transfer embargo - no hope of going up, possibly down; who's the most deserving 'manager' you can think of to oversee that?

Where's the story of where he learned to tackle?

Gotta love a bone of Small. Which bone, I don't know, but I don't think it makes any difference either.

His decision-making is non-existent. As in, he doesn't know what to do with it.

YAY. (Because it's not with us). But congratulations to him, too.

I'm sure you know a lot of Southampton fans blame him for injuring Van Dijk which then equates to us having a poorer defence in the League Cup/whatever it was called that year and losing to Manchester Utd when we think we otherwise would have won. So he's definitely persona non grata in this neck of the woods. A few other places too: who likes a striker who scores goals against your team often?

I love people who say in the face of a myriad of articles and a fuckton of evidence that RM will never change that they'd be interested to see how he'd change. What's life like under Everest?

He's a West Ham fan which is why he'd like to manage them one day.

Actually. If you listen to his interviews, in one of them he had a difficult situation. The manager had left. He was put in place and had to get the team going again or they were relegated. They stayed up. His approach was to be pragmatic and work with what he had. It is out there, that information.

What's our record this season?

Expect that's a few more euros for Valenciennes then. Was nice to see Welington giving Ashley Young some gip. Was good to see Stewart get in front of his man and not get his header on target. He might be ok in the league below but I can't see him being a top level striker. Robinson looked to have a little about him. Liked Archer's defending and even a bit of something when he's given space (again, in a competitive PL game, I don't think he'll cut it. Looking forward to breaking more records in our last home game and the (I really, really hope) mass clear out. I'd say of the dross but that's rather a large proportion of what we've got. Let's hope Vardy gets his 200th goal and that's all that's talked about this season, while we go under the radar.

So, in other words - he's shit. Yep, I agree.

I can't run. Maybe I should ask for a trial?

I do have to interject at this point. You're talking crap, making an argument and trying to back it up with something that isn't the evidence and isn't any evidence.

Far too good for that rabble.
