Not Worthy Of A Thread


Thespence

Had a dream where we battered the mackems at the SoS, being 5 up at half time, and Cattermole sent off (as per). The first goal was immense, Colo strides forward from defence, beats two players with a stepover before smacking a left-footed curler into the top corner from about 30 yards out. Surprised the sheets are dry tbh  :sweetjesus:

 

Also, the game was on the first day of the season, but all the Christmas stuff was up in the house, and at the same time Man U were playing a newly-promoted Welsh team called Bath Gecwis.  :dontknow:

Today, during my placement at the Press Association, I was given access to the EA Index (formerly Actim) which is the official Premier League system of ranking player match performances. Most matches will see a player get a positive number of points, but sometimes a bad game will see a negative. Some semi-interesting findings I discovered are:

 

- The highest score for a non-winning player was Seb Larsson (Man City 3-3 Sunderland).

- The highest score for a losing player went to Demba Ba (Norwich 4-2 Newcastle).

- In the top 5 individual performances, 5 were vs QPR.

- 3 of the 5 worst performances last season - according to the Index - belong to Louis Saha (this one is for Ali).

- The honour of having the highest amount of negative matches goes to Shaun Wright-Phillips (12). Players on 10 are Chris Eagles, Steve Morison and Clint Dempsey, whilst Andy Carroll, Louis Saha, Victor Moses and Franco Di Santo are on 9. The players on 8 are Adel Taarabt, Robert Huth, Cameron Jerome, Dan Sturridge, John-Arne Riise, Kenwyne Jones and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake.

- Special mentions must go to Andrei Arshavin (6) and Anthony Modeste (5) who were only in England for half a season. Samba Diakite only got 4, but he made his debut on 25th February and missed 3 matches due to suspension.

- Of Victor Moses' 9 negative matches, only 1 came after early January, showing how much he (and Wigan) improved later on.

- Jonas Gutierrez lost the most tackles in one match (12) but didn't get booked.

- Biggest contrast between home and away scores belongs to Bobby Zamora, followed by Dempsey, Aguero and Mata. They perform better at home.

- At the other end, players that perform better away are Steven Fletcher, then Odemwingie, Eagles and Giggs.

- Players that have virtually the same home and away scores include Nani, Baines, Parker, Carrick and Van Persie.

A mate who works for a coach company in South Wales just sent me pics of the Newcastle team bus in their yard. When I asked him why, he said it broke down in Newport, it is being used by Belgians on a corporate hospitality trip :)

 

Does this make me ITK  :itk:

 

The bastard won't nick anything for me.

:thup: Good shit, nothing incredibly surprising, except for maybe the amount of poor games from Dempsey.

Positively erect at having statistical confirmation of just how shite SWP is.
