is anyone else really bored with stats?

What really worries me is one of the mods gets a headache from reading thread on the forum his is a moderator for. If our mods get headaches from reading this forum what would happen if the players read it? Lets hope Lallana, Lambert or Fonte dont read this forum, especially not at the same time, it'll bring on migraines for them and they'll miss loads of games due to it, we are only our players reading this forum away from promotion going up in smoke.

you know what, i was when i was typing that i was thinking to myself dont type Libertines instead!! TBF this song is probably Bajs life anthem. What can you want when you've got it all??

You dont get to be in his position by making mistakes Deppo.

You've got to remember Baj is an important man, no one f*cks with him, those that do, well you know what happens. This is Bajs world and anyone that attempts to take libertines on his manor will be dealt with accordingly. You wouldn't got to Naples or Sicily and disrespect the mafia leaders by breaking their code of conduct would you? Baj is the internet Don Corleone, John Gotti and Bernando Provenzano all rolled into one, the capo di tutti capo when it comes to all things internet forum related. Mess with him and you mess with this forums Cosa Nostra, expect to be whacked. Many have taken him on, no one has ever won.

What really worries me is that we had 4 different goal scorers on saturday and also at Oldham in our terrible 6-0 win, we dont seem to have a player capable of scoring more than one goal a game, unless they are penalties.

That was a terrible result, look at the effect it had one the team, if only we'd won 2-0.

Just to turn this on it's head, by saying that win against a midtable side would convince you that promotion is do-able, at the moment are you saying that promotion is not do-able?

Just like this week, 4 points from two games is a decent return. I'd be happy with 4 this week as well, delighted with 6 and disapointed with less. Some expect us to win every game, if we dont beat Colchester does it end our promotion hopes? No, but it makes it a little tougher, if we beat them does it mean we will go up? No, but it'll make a bit easier. People need to look at our form over a period of time, rather than if we win saturday i think we'll go up. We have only lost once in the league in 2011, despite us apparantly not playing well and all the despair from the usual suspects in January that all of our midfield was injured or leaving. Makes you wonder if the management do actually know what they are doing afterall....

Dont be a c*ck, administration and 10 point deduction was, in football terms anyway, a disaster. Not being promoted whilst massively disapointing would not be a disaster. People need to get over this "if xxx scenario happens the Liebherrs will walk away". It's nonsense, do you think any decent business man after buying a business for £13m will just go "f*ck this, they didn't do as well as we'd hoped, i'm out" This isn't Dragons Den you know, i dont believe in the product so i'm not going to invest in it. THey own the club, do you think they'll just write off the money they paid out and put the closed signs up in the window? They willl have to sell the club, if they do then a League One club, punching below it's weight, in a premier league stadium, fan base most NPC clubs would be jealous of and no debt at all would surely make us an attractive proposition to anyone. In any case, i thought you'd be glad to see the back of them, given your constant moaning about out transfer activity during the windows, surely you'd prefer someone to come in who just throws money away signing player after player?

You've got to remember that those stats include the Wilkins era when we were managerless, clueless and didn't win a game. The results in his last lay off are more of an accurate reflection on his impact. Of course we are a better team with him but i disgree that we are "Lallana picks up a knock away from a fooked up season".

What's the crack with the supports card? I've not been to a game in Italy before so do i need one to get tickets?

absolutely agree mate.

We used to, i remember queuing up to get in the Milton as soon as the turnstiles opened, 1.30 i think it was, the singing would start about 40 minutes before kick off.

Do you have a problem with reading? I said "which team isn't going to be better with the best player in their division in it?" Something i also said on the various discussions we have had regarding him. Hardly hypocrisy. By the way what happened yesterday? We hit the post twice, how can this be? Surely Lallana could have waved his magic wand and diverted the ball into the net or why didn't his mere presence on the pitch make Chamberlain and Gullys aim that 5% better to make the ball go three inches right and inside the post instead of hit it?

You obviously weren't there.

You can see they massively lack confidence and have no cutting edge up front. At times they knocked it about well. I dont think they'll finish midtable, they'll struggle to stay up. We did start well but after the goal we were very poor, dont let the scoreline or the last 20 minutes decieve you, it's easy to play well with a 2 goal cushion against a team on a bad run and no confidence.

I really dont know what game you were watching then if you think we played well. At 1-1 did you think we were playing well? We were awful, we didn't raise our game as soon as they equalised. In fact they could have scored another and were well on top until our second goal. We kept giving the ball away, no movement, poor passing created nothing going forward. Adkins was going mental at the players, my seat was right behind the dug out. Granted, for the last 20 minutes or so we were very good, if that is because of Barnard and Schniderlin coming on i dont know, but it's easy to knock the ball around comfortably with a 2 goal cushion. Dont be fooled by the scoreline which i think a lot are, a better side, or even one with more confidence than Swindon would have gone on and won that game after their equaliser or at least got a point. I am happy with the win, but i think people need to stop being fooled by the scoreline, we beat a very average side who are going to struggle to stay up this season, this wasn't a performance like Exeter and Hudderfield where we dominated the game for 90% of it. Play like that against a better side and we will be punished.

I'm not sure which game some of you were watching but it doesn't sound like the one i was. We started well, Chamberlain unlucky not to score when he hit the post, but after the goal we were awful. Failed to put two passes together and a better side than Swindon would have punished us, two or three times the final pass let them down when attacking and they clearly lacked confidence. Their equalizer was on the cards for a while and they were well on top until we scored the second. After the third goal we were well on top and it was only then that we played some decent football and could have scored a couple more, but make no mistake, for 70 minutes we were poor and 4-1, whilst a good win, did not reflect the game which against a better side thn Swindon we would have lost. And another thing, If Barnard doesn't start on tuesday Adkins is mental. GUlly was totally innifective, again, and Barnard looked great when he came on and caused them all sorts of problems.

this is impressive, 2008 UEFA cup final, Rangers and Zenit doing "the bouncy"[video=youtube;t-m26Mpasxc]

Bizarre choice of song old Carpenters tune but funny all the same and sounds good.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6B4xTguVRg

Jamie! Where have you been? I've missed you!

Glad i didn't disapoint. It's called stating the bleeding obvious. Which team isn't going to be better with the best player in their division in it? Ye they have made a whole story about this. They do it every day with some boring stat or another about something completely uninteresting, like yesterdays article about which team has most games left against other teams in the top half of the league. THe fact that there are only 8 points between 8th and 18th and in 3 games time the top and bottom halves could look totally different seem to be ignored.

the echo bore the f*ck out of me with their daily stats bo*locks. making sh*t articles out of nothing stories to fill up space.

It's difficult to know what result would please him the most. Above he says a big win is good thing, then he says it could be detrimental as we didn't play well after winning 6-0 at Oldham, so winning well could be a bad thing. A narrow win wouldn't be good enough as we should be blowing teams like this away and a draw or a defeat, well, i shudder to think.
