Results as you know are a matter of record, not in game opinion which is the context you chose to ignore.

So it’s not the case that “football is a matter of opinion, not fact”

Good of you to correct your false statement.

Football is a matter of opinion, not fact….

in that case, it’s my opinion that we’ve won every game so far and are 10 pints clear at the top of the league.

Sadly, the facts don’t agree.

I am sorry if I have pulled this thread off line as it were but out and out number 9s one comes to mind which most will hate me for is Alan Shearer , have to say best penalty taker I have seen as he when for the top corner close to every one .

You must never have seen Grezza, then.

All centre backs!

..and Ben Mee could well be the next one, I reckon.

Does anyone have any stats on captains by playing position? I would imagine centre halves and central midfielders are probably the most common.

I wonder what their odds are on promotion now, even if it's via the playoffs. Do bookies give odds for that or is it automatic promotion only?

I had a small bet at 11s yesterday.

And all this time I’ve been calling him Tcha..oo..na. I stand corrected. It’s essentially the same thing. The vowel sound in “chow” is a diphthong, where two vowel sounds (in this case “a” and “oo”) are elided into one another, so the only difference between “chow-na” and “cha-oo-na” is how quickly...

Unlike some of our other imminent signings Hamer doesn’t miss many games, he also looks like a man who doesn’t miss many meals either He started a lot of games, but how many did he finish?

If you can't distinguish between exhorting Nuno to resign and what constitutes professional analysis then we are in trouble. Most pundits manage the distinction quite well as does Gary Neville. He made an error but who doesn't That’s not what you said though, is it? You said “ Private citizens have...

Greenmile

But you are back in the realms of conjecture and what Jakub calls 'fake news'. None of us know what was said or the nature of the relationship between Nuno and Marinakis. Private citizens have a right not to have their professional lives commented on by Gary Neville . It's a matter between Nuno and...

Hamer fantastic. Their only real PL class player. Sunderland self-Hamer-ing, no pun intended.

This division really is a shambles apart from the top three.

Not sure you can really say “no pun intended” there, tbh

I can remember watching the very first episode of Dr Who with my older brother - a quick search reveals it was November 1963 .... for some reason I prefered the giant ant Zarbi creatures to the Daleks :) .

I think football highlights shows have always done this. I seem to remember hearing the famous “would you believe it” commentary (Martin Tyler on Tony Adams) was re-recorded after the event, and MotD does it all the time.

Also, in fairness to Sky, Trafford’s save deserved a replay or six!

Greenmile

Probably, but was the reaction from the Watford player any more severe than what Flemming did? If the boot had been on the other foot, we'd have been raging. I mean, apart from the fact that they both received the same punishment, yes, Sissoko’s shove was miles more severe than Flemming’s nudge. As...

Greenmile

I suspect you're not alone in that. It went for us today, but there'd be real anger if we'd had two players sent off for those (second) offences. Any neutral watching that today would have thought it was a right farce! I agree with you about the gamesmanship in general but those were both as clear ...

I genuinely think Sarmiento didn't hear whistle. Seemed very harsh.

He definitely heard it, and was no doubt perfectly happy to take the booking. We’re a pretty streetwise bunch, nowadays.

Someone explain the Sarmiento booking to me

Ref blew for the foul and he ran away with the ball. Essentially the same as kicking the ball away from a free kick. Clear yellow, imo.

Greenmile

It was hilarious and shows what a good atmosphere they have in the group Off the back of the interview where SP were saying how much they were enjoying the race for promotion, it certainly made me feel better about the mentality of the group. If they’re feeling the pressure, they’re hiding it well!

A tough game on a non league pitch with many players looking leggy from the off.A good point but I felt better use of all our squad and we could have won.Hannibal on from the start and Sarmiento and Ash for Laurent and Foster at half time might have swung it .But now we must push on 5 more wins and...

Rare was probably the wrong word to use but the stats prove more play off winners come from 4-6th than 3rd Brilliant. All we need to do is make sure we finish 4th, 5th and 6th then, and we’ll have a 55% chance of going up through the playoffs. I know DA is being deliberately thick in agreeing with ...

Greenmile

As proven above finishing 3rd is the minority of promotions from the play offs Technically it’s a minority, but in voting terms you’d call it a pretty strong plurality. 9/20 is pretty short odds for a 4-horse race. Anyway, your original post that I replied to said ‘the team finishing third rarely w...

I’m sure next you will point to the word “like” in order to claim you weren’t actually talking about Joey Barton, just people “like” him, because you’re a predictable sophist, at which point I’ll have to remind you again of the title of this thread (and maybe explain to you what “insinuate” means).

Greenmile

At no point and I suggested Barton did what he did because he wasn't in contact with his father. This is your very first post on this thread (emphasis added) He IS a very bright individual. We'd be well served as a society to ask ourselves some frank questions about why young men like Joey Barton e...

Don't forget how I "don't really believe it anyway". It's a "hobbyhorse" that I'm very passionate about as well as being "trolling" that I "don't even believe anyway".

Admittedly, I haven't read through all of the thread, but what has fatherlessness got to do with Barton kicking his wife in the head? Nothing at all - it’s just another example of Rowls derailing a thread with one of his inexplicable hobby-horses. Just a matter of time before he suggests that JB on...

Yeah, sure. As I already said - we can ask ourselves difficult questions. Or we can look the other way. Because fatherlessness isn't a real problem in the country.

This is where your original question comes into play, fb. Why would you limit spending when the club is in or around the top 6 and why would you do it three years on the trot?
