Possession

According to the pundits possession is key, if you've got the ball you should win.
The facts don't really support that fact this weekend.


Everton 73% Draw
Chelsea 69% Draw
Liverpool 67% Won
Swansea 65% Draw
Tottenham 65% Lost
Man City 63% Lost
Southampton 61% Won
Arsenal 60% Lost
Cardiff 56% Lost
West Ham 53% Lost

  1. You need to include diving and being awarded the penalty in those calculations Lee. ;)

  2. I hope the bottom of that table reflects the final outcome of the real league table at the end of this season :)

    Sam Allardyce deserves a few 5 year contract for the way he has made you play these last couple of seasons :)

  3. Oi leave my West Ham alone will ya. One bloody defeat West Ham shouldn't have had and the world goes mad. :)
    He's doing alright, better than most of the rubbish we've had recently (Grant and Zola), trouble is we still lack the finances to bring in better players and keep the good ones we had, so mid table should be seen as success, but as you know all clubs fans think they've got a divine right to win the league every season and unless you've got a billionaire owner it's unlikely to happen.
    Lazy journo's still say we play long ball even though the stats prove that's a lie, and we've played some nice football this season without getting the rewards.
    Sadly we are still about 4-5 players short of having a really good team, Reid's injury showed how vital he is on Saturday and although Carroll did well when he was fit last year I reckon we need another couple of strikers. Big Sam loves Nolan and he's a good captain but he's been a liability this season and if he doesn't improve soon he has to be left out.

  5. Yeah Arsenal v Southampton looks like a big game, we've got another mid table clash so hopefully a few players might be fit :)

  6. Think Zola should manage Chelsea, just think of those classic signings he made for us :)
    Mido, Ilunga, Savio, Benny McCarthy, Tristan, Lopez, Lastuvska, Kovac, Kurucz, Daprela, Jiminez etc all household names (in their own house).
