So you think Bristol City will score at least three own goals?

It’s reactive. Waiting for the opposition to make a mistake. Or maybe fall asleep through boredom.

Surely he’s been in charge long enough that the players must know by now how they are supposed to play?

But does it actually suck the opposition in? At St. Mary’s all they need to do is maintain their shape leaving a couple up front to run and chase whilst waiting for us to make our predictable mistakes. Another aspect of this possession obsession is that it does nothing to get the crowd warmed up to anything like a fever pitch. Where is the passion?

Bad workmen always blame their tools.

Providing they take McCarthy too.

That’s very naughty of them. Name and shame is an option. These people rely upon having a good reputation.

Always sad to hear such terrible news. My condolences to all those concerned and affected.

I’m still waiting for mine 😔

Me too. I don’t think it was the rum that I drank.

Do you think the size of the penalty was set so as to make sure of this?

Two matches. Stoke and Millwall, both were away games. I agree with you.

Points won from a “winning position “

“Goals scored” includes goals scored by the opposition.

They are miles away from being “factual”. The only figures that mean anything are the goals scored. The rest is imagined and invented.

Because these are not real statistics. They are a load of invented bollocks. When will you ever recognise this?

That might give you a more accurate figure of what you think you're looking for but after only 15 games? What variance would you expect from any figures that you care to concoct? As has been said before, there are just too many variables. That's why these football so-called stats are used for betting.

Not a big enough sample. Have you done a Chi squared test on this?

We've talked about this before. This is exactly why any supposed statistics are meaningless crap.

Bin it.

A player that leaves the pitch is considered to be on the goal line as far as offsides are concerned but as you say the ball came to him off a Millwall player.

The referee did his job.

Yeah, I’ve got the whole game recorded on my TV. He runs into the box, then turns and jumps into Bazunu. He gets his head to the ball first but he also prevents the goalkeeper catching the ball. Six and half a dozen.

No, it wasn’t a foul. It was a ‘natural coming together’. There is a different interpretation when a goalkeeper is involved. Their player might have pretended to have been injured but it wasn’t from any body contact from Baz who turned away to his left at the last moment. He did it for effect.

I noticed something else yesterday. At kickoff we won the toss and chose to attack the Chapel End meaning that they weren’t attacking the end with their fans in the second half. This also happened in an earlier home game that we won (QPR?)
