I've not seen this question asked but how rare is it that the top scorer at a club scores more in a season than the whole team let in?

That's a hammer blow for the blades psychologically

Absolutely. Statistically, it made little difference whether it was a draw or loss, but psychologically is devastating for them. If Sunderland win today the Blunts will be closer to 4th than 2nd.

So AI is rubbish then. It depends on what question it was asked and how it was phrased. The current season is not yet a matter of historic record and therefore marry not appear in some searches relating to the past tense questions. AI is only as good as the data set it interrogates and the precisio...

Joseph grew up on a drug ridden estate in Toxteth. He was clever enough to not follow the path of his mates/peers and despite getting ditched many Everton - his club - he was strong enough to make it and all the way to England. He has real issues that need addressing, however, he has done well, rel...

Some thoughtful questions here sleeperclaret. 1. "Father" is definitely a gender-specific term. Everybody knows what a father is and if I defined it, it would only be condescending. 2. Nobody really knows this. We don't have the data. I'm sure there will be nascent studies but there simply isn't th...

I don't agree with Rowls on this, or many other things on the political spectrum, but suggesting he's just trolling, or doesn't believe what he's saying is just an attempt to trivialize the poster, rather than argue the post itself. That in turn undermines the reverse arguments because they can be d...

A strange article. Firstly we couldn't sign him until the summer, so the whole "Wycombe want him to stay until the summer" seems odd. And then the quote says they're in direct contact with "Dominic", whereas the player is called "Daniel" in the first paragraph. If it is a legitimate story, the credi...

Josh Ginnelly on the bench for Swansea too for an extra Claret connection.

A real tough one for the player if he plays. Have a great game and score the winner and he may be costing himself and his new teammates a promotion and all the bonuses that go with it.

Have an awful game and fans will be underwhelmed with the signing and give him grief if he doesn't start well here.

Respectfully disagree.

I think there’s a fair to middling chance Tresor will be exactly where you last saw him.

Santa Claus is a made up story told by people who don't believe it themselves. Jesus was a real person and he was written about by people who knew him, or who knew his friends, and they did believe it to be true. Santa Claus was based on Saint Nicholas, a 3rd/4th century Greek bishop. There were so...

For what it's worth, my above question was genuine and I was honestly not trying to belittle anyone's personal beliefs. Iunderstand if it may have come across that way and if it did, I apologise.

Oh yeah - five goals in 25 appearances- brilliant

According to the site stats, he's played in 14 Premier League games this season, 13 starts and only finished 7 of those games. But he's scored 4 and assisted 3 goals in a poor team. Not bad, is it?

Most contracts buy back clauses mean the selling club get first option. This sounds, without knowing, as if Villa can buy him back at anytime, so long as they meet the agreed fee. Which is perhaps why Ramsey needs to agree wages with Villa first. If I'm right it's a first, and very strange. I assum...

I love how, after being called out for pointless bickering, it carried on whilst ignoring the post highlighting that the club has been sold which almost invalidated the concerns being argued over.

I did think he could have done a player-investor role at Burnley. Puts in millions, plays for the club and acts as an international ambassador and effectively makes his own wages. Win-win-win.

I'd be curious to know if any of the detractors on here had actually worked with Ministers or MPs?

I wonder if suggesting a lack of loyalty in this case is the same as retaining older players at the end of their careers? And where is the tipping point?

What a sad story.

My Dad had a scarf stolen in the 60s and it clearly still bothers him.

No, moved away. Still follow the results and the news on here and through my parents who are both season ticket holders.
