Football

so a pass from the centre circle straight out to the wing is considered a punt? pfft useless

Liverpool made 700 passes against Norwich... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>long ball>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

70.5% - Only Vidic (73.7%), Ferreira (71.9%) & Makelele (70.8%) have a better win % (100+ games) than Michael Ballack in PL history.

Matt Jarvis' goal is West Ham's first away from home in the Premier League in 505 days.

Number of long balls (passes of more than 25 yards) so far this season:

Newcastle 78
Everton 69
Reading 67
Wigan 67
Liverpool 66
Real Madrid 67
Chelsea 65
West Ham 65
Fulham 64
WBA 64
Villa 62
Sunderland 62
Tottenham 61
Norwich 60
QPR 59
Barcelona 59
Manchester United 56
Swansea 55
Manchester City 54
Southampton 51
Arsenal 49

Looks like Rodgers quick short passing game isn't taking hold*.

*Oh, we all knew that all ready.

when the 66 long passes, above, are part of our 500+ passes per game stats the actual percentage is very small

when compared to west hams keeper to striker head down to goal shooter passing, your 65 would be considered a very high percentage

stats can be used to prove pretty much anything

if you could also quote the total number of passes from which the long ball stat was taken i would be interested

Seedorf still bossing in midfield.

Nice piece by Tim Vickery on Oscar

So I am stuck in Florida at a conference. Disney Boadwalk Hotel just outside Orlando. Need to get to see the game. There is an ESPN sports bar. Go there. They are showing the Manc game and the Barca game. No idea where might be showing the game I want to see. Bump into a fellow attendee of the conference. An English Millwall fan who lives in Saratosa. Explain my problem. He comes up with three bars in the area showing the match. We get a cab together. First bar is shut. Second bar open. $35 for the cab there. Basically a hut by the side of a freeway clad in mock Tudor. Go in. About half a dozen people in there. All apart from a bar maid English. They turn off Emmerdale and put on the match. Landlord was English and around 50 and Spurs. Two of the punters were late 60s and Wolves, one with a newly acquired Wolves tat on his calf. Everyone is behind the English side. We win. The cab returns. Another $35 back to the hotel and the conference.

A window into a world that I will never encounter again. I suppose all over Florida there are little bars like that serving ex pat retirees and somehow making a living.

Takes one to know one I suppose, Mike.

It was this line that gave it away

Everyone is behind the side supported by the businessman from out of town hoping that if they won he would cover the bar bill for everyone.

Congrats Clive. Now when you play Galatasaray or any of the other Turkish teams and they go for the whole "Welcome to Hell" sign you can politely enquire "I'm sorry. Are we in Orlando?"

Why did they have plastic Champions League trophies?

I didn't think that Liverpool competed in the competition let alone held the trophy.

.

We own the trophy Clive. It is in our cabinet at all times for all to see. The result of us winning it five times, an English record. Come back when you can boast of such things

Also, a Jordan Rhodes hat-trick against the Trees would be nice.

Is that the team we beat on Sunday?

Again
