Whos everyones favourite stand up comedian? trying to find some new dvds to watch. Ive watched stewert lee, sean lock, jimmy car, jim jefferies, ricky gervais, frankie boyle over 3x. Cant watch them again.

urmmmm ha. dont know. i guess if theres 19 other teams there will always be some kind of stat like that no matter what team you are (in terms of probability it probably isn't that hard to have an anomaly like that). Havent chelsea got some similar stat with newcastle? I doubt theres some magical thing happening that somehow makes pulis/MH have some supreme tactical advantage over wenger at stoke but somehow lose all this tactical advantage/ability when they go to emirates. I imagine wenger sets up his teams similar home/away against stoke

They conceded 3 goals at home, in the champions league. That is called being ripped to shreds. Arsenal at 2-1 down with a full leg to play went all out for a draw, not tried to sneak a draw, not played patiently hoping to nick a draw....They went ALL OUT to get another goal. It was , perhaps, the single most naive and idiotic thing I have ever witnessed at the top level of football Also, I don't think modding exists IRL football. Monaco played the game to a tee and exposed what we all know exists at Arsenal since about 2003. Nothing like short term cherry-picked results orientated thinking to try prove a point. (mostly a reply to zatman comment)- BM lost to Arsenal? Pep is so tactically naive.- Chelsea lost to porto and drew kyiv? Dam that mourinho fella isnt going to win anything as a manager. So naive - Arsenal losing to BM/united/spurs/chelsea (CS, game in the league was false result) sure shows their naivety....oh wait. If you honestly believe wenger/arsenal last 2/3 seasons has been the same as pre-spending era then you either dont watch arsenal very often, or you have selective memory. What you mean modding doesnt exist? Is that a reply to my "godmode" comment? Also, teams are more likely to concede away than home. With monaco having one of the best defensive records in the world at the time and arsenal creating plenty of good goal-scoring opportunities in that first leg, dont think its that outrageous to go for the win/draw.

Yes youre correct. Losing on away goals is a team getting "ripped to shreds". Giroud missing about 213432x chances in the first game. That game was so much down to variance. Monaco godmoding their counters whilst arsenal running very unlucky on their attacks . PerMer making a mistake aswell != tactical naivety from wnger. They sure got ripped to shreds... (xg = expected goals) https://gyazo.com/c0ab79e5ce3866494e5e05d321337e99.png If you honestly believe that monaco win that tie more often than arsenal with the exact same setup/tactics, youre crazy

yeh it seems like most teams do what you just said nowadays. thanks for the explanation

I could be wrong, but isnt the equivilant of it in football most likely be FatSam/Pulis? A very ugly/unappealing high stat plays which reduces other teams from being able to exploit them? I dont really know what it means, interested though

but wengers too defensively naive to win any of the big games?...Maybe the "knack" of winning the big games was more down to other teams having higher financial investment compared to them . Now they can compete in the market, shock wenger has got the "knack". (not aimed at you villachris, just the general thoughts of arsenal the past few years)

Bellerin is a v.v.v.v. good FB

I think delph was very over rated player for villa. Whether thats mostly down to lambert or not, is impossible to say. He was incredibly good taking the ball from our half into their half but after that, close to 0 end product and 0 passing ability needed for his role in the team at the time. dont think delph > gana. But its too early to tell if gana > delph. dont think too much in them at the moment. (which is quite "impressive" for gana given it took delph a few years to get average)

but its been pretty well known that the summer transfers of that year were awful (avb+sherwood+poch all disliked quite a few of them transfers). Dont hate on someone for saying something that is correct. Your posts are usually is legit, this point is not.

playing rudy and adama at front would be tragic. Possession stats would be so bad. Posession in final third would probably become the worst in the league. And allowing oppo CM's all the time in the world on the ball. Adama in the starting 11 is bad for the team overall (currently)

but we dont have world class players? If you dont want a manager because the best players in the world dont think their coaching is the best then you arnt going to like a single manager at villa in the future.

I would be surprised if moyes comes here tbh. He can get a much safer job in a year or two in the prem. His stock would still be pretty high in the prem. Seems suicide to take this job with how likely/close we are to looking like were getting relegated

not going to blame him for first goal. such a bad pass from guzman. So so bad

gave the ball away few times in bad areas in first half iirc. Unlike him

Have job thx. Im still amazed at how much people try to push other people to work the 9-5 grind with only 4 weeks of freedom a year and potentially making less money. I know youre semi-joking but ye xD

spurs and sunderland. Pretty sure their managers had close to no say in recent years. AVB was pissed off iirc because spurs wouldnt bring the players he wanted in with bale money. Also think sunderland DOF (or previous one) took a lot of blame aswell for their recruitment noway do managers make 90% of decisions when theyve got a DOF. thats the whole point of having a DOF (or transfer commitee).

i find it really weird (yeh i know sad) how on fifa 15 majority of people would dive/shoot left but it has changed to dive/shoot right on fifa 16. Why the sudden switch :O!? Dont think i missed one pen in about 50 on fifa 15, take with guzan, do the little stutter and put it to the right. Everyone would think you was taking piss and going to chip down middle with keeper. Keepers suck at taking pens on new one though :(!

more to do with liverpool not winning it but y'know

I thought dortmund always had DOF type for player transfers? Did klopp even have any say in it all?

Only time i would want to lose is if its last game of the season and were 10th. Were playing arsenal who are 1 point ahead of liverpool for the title who are playing sunderland who have already been relegated. (or similar situation) 3 who in one sentence, that cant be a good sentence structure

stop wrong quoting me terrytini :'( lol

For god knows how long (at least 4/5 years) ive gone to sleep at around 4am and just woke up at any time i like. But now i want to start waking up at 8am/9am as i feel im much more productive and it has benefits with regards to personal fitness. The problem is no matter how hard i try, i just cannot keep to a 9am sleep cycle and will always go back to staying awake throughout the night for some unknown reason. I always end up doing an all nighter once a week to try "fix this" but it always gets **** again within a day or two. For example today, i got really tired at around 12am and thought i finally fixed it and fell asleep, it just turned out to be a nap and woke up at 2am wide awake :@ Has anyone fixed this before? Or had similar problem before? any advice on how to keep to a 9am schedule? I dont really know if theres anything but "set alarm, force yourself to wake up at that time" that can be done. That hasnt worked in the past though on separate note: Found this website which is pretty dam decent which is all about supplements and nutrition. Worth looking at if you want unbiased "facts" about it all http://examine.com/

Not sure if serious? Wasnt the guy all ready to sign but "didnt get a sign from god" or some bollocks? Think it says literally 0 about sherwood tbh. Weve become a shit team/club and adebayor (if he wanted to) is probably too good for us. It says stuff about adebayor. Not about sherwood tbh

Well thanks for pointing out to us that Ferguson couldn't get Scarborough to win the prem. I think youre under rating FatSam so much. I think fatSam, through his managment/defensive discipline can gain sunderland 6-10 points through draws or nicking the odd win. They looked utter dreadful in nearly every game this season under advocaat. The defense was in such shambles that fatSam will clearly be an upgrade in that department im just repeating myself so ill shhh now
