When we finished fifth, our goal difference was a statistical outlier for a team finishing that high. According to the stats people, a 99% unlikely result. Anomalies do happen, but they are very difficult to replicate.

 

In ordinary language, it was a fluke. Google "Newcastle United Regression Factor" to see the stats analysis, but only if you like numbers which lots of people don't. Possibly the best proof is the youtube vid of Papiss's goals from the second half of the season. It was like RVP on steroids. The flicked volley one is my personal favourite.

 

Fwiw, I don't think that Swansea game itself was a fluke. They had meaningless possession and we let them knock it about miles from our goal. It was almost textbook and a classic example of why the tikitaka and Barcelona comparisons were inappropriate for Rogers' Swansea, because Guardiola's Barcelona would work into scoring positions and score. In that game, all Swansea managed were shots from distance from Sigurdsson.

Talk sport talking about Pardew now

 

Adrian Durham slating Pardew for his management of Ben Arfa

 

It's been perfect so far. Let's hope they don't do a phone in

 

To be fair, the Newcastle fans who ring TalkSport usually say the right things, comparatively.

Absolute bollocks from Tony Gale on SSN suggesting protest is because "we don't like London people"! w*****.

They really have no idea it's not about where he is from, it's about how much of a dick he is and awful football style

 

What a knob, I live about 40mins from London, my brother in law moved away from Newcastle down here when he was 4 and we are both gutted we can`t join in the protest. I hate it when people with 2 brain cells speak for everyone just because they lucked a job on TV.
