Y’know, the thing about McGinn, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he tackles ya, and ahhh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch whistle.

Not seen much analysis between our better seasons in the Premier League. So thought I’d do a comparison between our top six Premiership/League seasons. Best/highest three stats  (not sure whether high draws are good) shown in gold, silver and bronze. Last season was ‘on the podium’ for 8 of the criteria—equal to 95-96, both topped only by 95-97. Interestingly, relatively speaking we scored more and conceded less (though about the same really) than Keegan’s/our wonder season. 

 

 

 

 

The 95-96 season was 38 games.

The pts per game has been calculated as a 38 game season, but things like GF per game is based on 42. It should be 1.73 not 1.57. 

GA per game should be 0.97.

Not a huge difference obviously, as we still outscored the 95-96 season and conceded less and it really shows how well we did last season.

Sorry you guys don't know how to pronounce any words that come from a foreign language

I'll defend you guys on words like herbs, but let's not forget the way you pronounce croissant or Notre Dame.

I don't think foreign language pronunciation is a flex for the US of A.

How do y'all say herbs?

We decided to stop pronouncing it as 'erbs (a loan word from the French) and started pronouncing the h at the beginning. 

We started sometime after the American colonisation and revolution so the Americans kept on saying it the way we used to.

It's similar to Fall for Autumn.

We changed, Americans didn't.

Pedro Pichardo - Portuguese triple jumper who just won Gold at the World championships in Eugene last week.

Wonder if they are starts or inclusive of sub appearances. Be interesting to compare mins on pitch to goals for the Prem one.

Gayle 26 in 139 - 6063 minutes (1 goal every 233 mins)

Mitrovic 24 in 104 - 6937 minutes (1 goal every 289 mins)

Joelinton 6 in 78 - 5182 minutes (1 goal every 863 mins)

He is, but Ranieri has moved him into midfield to shore up their defence.

On World Cup final day I'm at Paul Simon's last ever big gig at BST festival in Hyde Park. Cant imagine he'll be on before 7, like, but lastl entry is 3. They better have a fucking screen somewhere, like!!

 

It's Homeward Bound.

 

West Ham missed out on Algeria striker Islam Slimani, 29, because Leicester refused to deal with Karren Brady after the Hammers vice-chair made comments in a newspaper about the Foxes' sacking of former manager Claudio Ranieri. Slimani has gone on loan to Newcastle. (Guardian)

 

 

But I thought they don't want to sign Africans anyway. Is Algeria not too African for them? 

Yedlin is awful lately

 

Done pretty well today i thought

It was his pace in closing down that led to the counter attack goal.

Yeah football on Christmas Eve would be absolutely terrible for travelling fans

 

Meh. Used to play on Xmas Day and Boxing Day in the good ol'  days.

There used to be public transport on Xmas day in the good ol' days.

Saivet looks miles better than Colback in midfield. His touch, his passing, his vision. He looks like a footballer, unlike Colback.

 

The whole lot are s****.

I wasn't claiming otherwise, but there are still different levels of shit.

Who's updated his wikipedia to signing for Bedlington terriers 

 

Rev. John Banter IV.

Careful now.

Wasn't me.

Take it a step further and just make a player up.

What happened to Diego Swarfega?

Didnt we try and sign him at one point?

 

Lost out to the mighty Crystal Palace.

 

Thought we tried to sign him from Palace during the financial troubles a few years back.

Damn, I meant

Southampton.

There are no words to describe Shola.

Who's Stones?

John Stones. 19 yo defender.

Where did it come from that Ferguson didn't play anyway?

 

Birmingham v Swansea

C Doyle , J Spector, P Robinson, D Burn, C Reilly, M Hancox, P Caddis, T Adeyemi, C Burke, M Green, S Ferguson (A Shinnie, 83)

Steve Howey told the Kinnear/Ferguson story about 3-4 weeks ago on Talksport Breakfast show so it's been doing the rounds. Strange that a number of papers went with it this weekend.

I think you're reading it right.

Would be nice if we could have a spreadsheet demonstrating Interpolic's stress levels each week running alongside this.

Dude is like 6 foot 8

Perfect for a floated set penis.

Wouldnt touch Eto`o with a stick now. looking lazy and uniterested since his move to Anzi. And most reports say that he is poor in most matches.

Lacina Traore on the other hand would give us a different look in attack.
