We will be 5 points clear of spurs if we win tomorrow

They'd have won the league by now if Poch just had a Plan B.

Is Plan A going to Madrid in the summer?

[jammy-git]

Of course not. They were all born with a cockerel birthmark and it's their destiny to play the best football in the World at the best club in the league. Their loyalty knows no bounds and they're happy to pay for tuppence a month and win fk all in the process.

Therein lies the danger, IF. Not a great record of winning games we are expected to on easily enough. Not so sure why but I'm nervous about tomorrow night.

[uk66fastback]

You shouldn't be nervous, Swansea, although fighting for their lives, are not great and you should prevail ...

'Should'.

What does a chubby kid and a punk kid in Arsenal shirts have to do with a little boring club like Spuds?

[jammy-git]

There's a guy with champions written on his shirt

Nope, never mind, haven't got a clue.

It's pretty common. When Celtic's scouts turned up at Kenny Dalgleish's house to talk with his parents about joining the club young Kenny ran upstairs and pulled down all his Rangers posters on his bedroom in case they saw them and then refused to sign him! Plenty of kids have shifted allegiances when the chance of a football career has beckoned.

Carragher was Everton before he saw sense.

Harry Knowles?

For anyone into their stats, Firmino compared to other top strikers in the Prem:

[Ascayman]

I didnt think it could get better than the substitute rotation league table but this is brilliant

That spreadsheet proves with 100% certainty than some people have too much time on their hands

[ChocolateFrog]

The difference between someone being 'poor' and 'decent' is 0.8%.

You can make stats say whatever you want.

I think it's just a quick way of highlighting who is at the top of that category and who is at the bottom. Ignoring the highlighting, Firmino is way higher in the assists and interceptions/tackles stats. It really shows how much effort he puts in for the rest of the team.

Have to agree. The amount of bullst is amazing.

I think I'll leave the spurious stats to FSG's number crunchers.

[ferrisbueller]

You can't summarise the whole game of football in statistics like it's baseball. Trying to is futile. Some of them are utterly meaningless. When I say some, I mean most.

[jammy-git]

I don't think anyone is trying to summarise the whole game of football, but it helps to shine a light on what is happening at a micro level.

I'll leave 'em on Reddit from now on!
