Didn't someone post a stat the other day saying that, on average, the percentage of set-piece conversions across first class football as a whole is surprisingly low. Something like 3% IIRC? I accept that we might have a worse conversion rate than the average, but overall the impact may be relatively insignificant?

Is that because his crosses are poor or that the movement of our players in the box is poor...?

Slightly shocked by Glasgow's performance on this thread. He's been in such good form recently too. Here's hoping this is just a blip rather than a downward trend. If he's not careful the mods will cotton on to his game plan and no-one wants to see that. I sense that he's about to play the "post a different opinion, get called a troll" looking for sympathy card, which, in my humble opinion, would be the wrong move right now. Tense times indeed.

Ah, yes. Makes sense. I probably could've worked that out myself if I'd engaged brain cheers

As far as I can tell, the rules of 'debate' on this are: Brexiteer - All bad economic news since the referendum has got nothing to do with the Brexit vote because we haven't actually left the EU yet - All good economic good news since the referendum is a sign that the Brexit vote isn't having/won't have a negative impact on the economy, even after we've left the EU Remainer - All bad economic news since the referendum is because of the Brexit vote, regardless of the fact that we haven't actually left the EU yet - All good economic news since the referendum has got nothing to do with the Brexit vote because we haven't actually left the EU yet I think that's about right, isn't it? #bothsidesasgoodatspinningaseachother

This. I'm struggling to comprehend what substance the person who signed these off was on at the time....

We should change it to this....

How come?

My prediction for the weekend.... Saints lose and the SaintsWeb Forum moves to DefCon Level 1

Yes, not due back until the end of the year I believe

Act 4 Scene 3 coming up. Spoiler: Tissues at the ready, it's a bit of a tear jerker.

There aren't any trolls on this forum. How many more times does one have to reiterate this FFS.

There only tends to be a stream for these games when we're at home, unfortunately

...

Try telling that to some of the geniuses on this forum. They can tell for sure whether a new manager is going to succeed or not after a handful of games...

Goals come from confidence (in part)... Playing a c.£70m player breeds confidence. Ergo, goals will come from increased confidence. Unleash Virgil. Let's do this! (Yes, I'm on my 9th bottle of Estrella)
