Although that would go a long way to making up the goal difference.

Thanks for this. You have no idea how sad it makes me feel. In today’s game there is no chance of ever seeing such magic again.

These rules are there in case you need medical attention and have to stay in the country beyond your intended departure date.

Being thick, but another example of Brexit Buggery.

We all know that football didn’t exist before the Premier League.

I never knew that bednarek was a Welsh word meaning ‘brick shithouse’

Another synonym is ‘Fart’

I think that chart is quite mild considering we were in the middle of a global pandemic.

The black or the yellow one?

Goal difference is not the same as goals conceded. It might just have been that we didn’t score many.

Source? You cannot quote random figures without some genuine data to back them up. And to say “4,000%” is beyond amateurish and no professional statistician would ever express an increase in those terms. Any percentage should be a fraction of a hundred. The clue is in the word. If you mean increased by 40 times then you should say so.

Do you not see a connection between the amount of goals conceded and the obsession with possession?

Then they should stay in the bank and count their money.

“Though this be madness, yet there is method in ‘t” There is some truth in what you say.

In general men die younger than women. When are they going to put that straight?

Reductio ad absurdum. Don’t be so ridiculous. We finished 11 points, effectively 12, from safety. I ignore the so-called stats because they are an irrelevant nonsense. And what makes you think I am defending him?

And I guarantee you it would not have made any difference.

No and yes. And like you say, even the casual observer can see the difference between the good and not so good player. We don’t need any stats to know that Baz is not top drawer.

That’s exactly my point. I have spent my professional life using technology and I have a good understanding of statistics and stochastics. These methods are the sort of stuff that gamblers use to try to justify whether to bet on red or black.
