stats men have a place but nothing like a knowledgeable eye!! Can't see talent on a fcukin spreadsheet!! #nobheads
Talking crap!!......Jimmy Greaves 57 England appearances 44 goals...reight player......stick that in yer spreadsheet Nicky!!
Yeh - and I've got 0 goals from 0 apps - that gives me a 100% record better than any strikers of my generation - that is a statistical fact Oh and by the way Alfred won us the World Cup in 1966 without Mr Greaves
The more I hear of Nicky, the more I warm to him. Gerrim lined up for the manager's position at Oakwell

No, here is my reasoning: 5 divided by 5 = 1 (100%) 1 divided by 1 = 1 (100%) 0.5 divided by 0.5 = 1 (100%) 0.1 divided by 0.1 = 1 (100%) 0.0000001 divided by 0.0000001 = 1 (100%) as 0.0000001 can be approximated to 0,then 0 divided by 0 = 1 (100%)
The mans a legend, crowd boo boy by the usual nobheads who sit on their elbows because they don't know their arse from them. should and could have played 500 odd games for us
If you share out 0 apples then no matter how many friends you have, they always have 0 apples each. You have 0 friends with 0 apples. On topic, it's alright having an eye for talent, but you can't have eyes at every football game around the world for every match, that's where stats come in. They can identify who might be talented and then the eyes can go and see for themselves.
So I have 100% of no apples! Seriously though - the point I was making was how ridiculous it can be to use statistics/spreadsheets for this purpose. Anyway as Seasick Steve once sang - I started out with nothing and still got most of it left Edit - the answer is zero divided by zero is 'undefined'
Well that's ****ing daft. Even the most knowledgeable of managers/scouts/coaches makes an utterly crap signing at least once a season. Huge amounts of money are spent because some dozy sod got it completely wrong. Meanwhile the Yanks are obsessed with sabermetrics, Moneyball and all that because it delivers results.
Stats lend themselves to American sports more readily due to the nature of the game, especially baseball and their football, both being like a series of set plays.
And even in the NFL the kicker, despite being the highest scorers due to taking all the kicks, are usually the most worthless member of the team (and thus the lowest paid) as even in the American statistic based sports they realise that the set piece kicker doesn't add a whole lot to the rest of the game
Yes - an acquired one....... I've nicked all my gags..... ............btw that was my attempt at humour......droll/dry/hilarious - delete as appropriate
