The problem is stats are easily manipulated and can be used to support just about any point of view.

QPR to Ipswich 4 games, 0 points, we definitely going to get relegated 

Leicester to Blackburn, 4 games, 10 points, the prem here we come.

I remember in the early days of wind farm development, some amateur psychologist did a study down in Cornwall trying to prove the negative impact of the wind turbines on the local populace and came up with the stat that 14 of the 15 local resident suffered depression due to the installation of the wind farm.

As was pointed out, since the psychologist didn’t do a comparative study beforehand it’s quite possible that before the wind farm was erected all 15 of the residents were depressed and the wind farm had actually cheered one of them up.

you pays your money and you chooses your stat.

Remember seeing the original deal details, and thought it alluded to this.

Question becomes whether RTV has enough benefit for overseas (and VPN) alone to continue being its own service or not.

IIRC each clubs’ TV service will be able to show games to international viewers that are also being shown on SKY.  So for example, if our game with Cardiff is selected by, SKY if will also be able available to international subscribers on RTV ( and those with a VPN)

I think he goes into  the summer with one season remaining of his contract.  It will be interesting to see if the club offers him something this summer or lets him run his contract down.  I get the impression, and it’s my personal opinion, that he thinks he’s better than he actually is.  I see him as an average championship player and can’t see there being a long queue of clubs desperate to sign him.   Happy to see him resign, but won’t be a disaster if he doesn’t.

 

And it’s mathematically impossible for the gas to get promoted.

Mind the Gap.

Hope to see a back 4 with Sykes on the right of an attacking 3 and Twine playing as a No 10.

Yes.  Have that.  

Get in Phil Foden.

Two deflected goals.  Typical jammy Real Madrid

Man City 1966.  The game was shown on MoTD.

Remember him more as a player than a manager.  Tough tackling right back who played in a good Spurs team.  Think I’m correct in saying he played against us in the 1970 League Cup semi final games.

RIP Dickie 

Tough as nails on the pitch

A gentleman off it.

Kicking with the wind second half I think we’ll go on and win this comfortably.

Wasn’t he ill last week? Might well be that?

Dickie Tummy?

Palmer is a real talent, but if you’re going to play Foden at No 10 with Bellingham and Rice in central midfield, where do you play Palmer?  I suppose he could play on the left of Kane, with Saka on the right, but I can’t see Southgate having guts to pick so many naturally gifted players.

Our attendances are upper mid table, the playing budget is upper mid table and lo and behold are league position is upper mid table.

The holy grail is to find a manager who can get the club to over perform by 10 to 15%.  I believed Nige was on the way to doing that, the Lansdowns didn’t.

Whether under Manning the sum will be greater than the sum of the parts, only time will tell.  Personally I don’t think judging him over the next 6 games is particularly helpful.  Let him have a full preseason and see how we go between the start of the season and the 2nd international break.  Then I believe we can  come to some more meaningful conclusions.

And that's my point.

I'd say the main thing Haaland can do over Kane is use his pace to latch onto through balls, however Man City have stopped playing to that strength of his this season, for some reason. It means Haaland and Man C have been less effective as a result. 

Looked a different team tonight without Haaland.  Foden as the main man came up with a master class performance.

You know what this means - players not going up to first team level so we can have the glory of winning the U18 league…

 

Despite the defeat, good to see Micky looking chipper.

Not the best left back we’ve ever had, but definitely a fan’s favourite.

And we got him cheap.

Barnsley also have an FA Cup win

Don't forget one of Rovers major honours - National League runners up 2014-2015

Sincere apologies for being pedantic but they were Vanarama Conference runners up 2014- 2015.

Yep. I've posted about how Brighton strive to always have the best people before. 

Where as at Bristol City/Sport its full of Jon's mates.

A professional CEO would be nice.

Reportedly a £122m Profit from last year??

Although they seem to have taken it down from the site..maybe released a day or 2 early.

SL take note.  You have to speculate to accumulate.

What triggered the sacking of Nige was the sacking of Phil Alexander.  All the subsequent events cascaded from the removal of PA and SL allowing his son to take charge.

Say No to nepotism.
