They know every player's top speed and they use the last sprint at top speed as a proxy for full fitness when a player is getting back from an injury. Also I think to spot when someone is not being completely honest about their fitness. I think it proves both physical conditioning but also that the player believes they're back to full fitness. Anyway, back to your stat mocking, you filthy rats! After a few early misgivings I’d like to take this opportunity to convey to this esteemed forum that I am now fully on board with “the way of the stat”, all bar xG which is and will always be just counting 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, back to your stat mocking, you filthy rats! Sooooooo, you could say someone could wear some sort of first aid equipment to hide that they're a lazy cunt really and that's why they're not going to go full speed? I knew a lad who was an academy player at Leeds when Viduka and co was there. One pre-season training session the manager had them running and Viduka refused to and said he didn't want to do a Marc-Vivien Foe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46141 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Tbf to Viduka, there was probably a risk. Him and Kluivert are up there for fattest headed NUFC players of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46141 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I don't mind Winter some of the time but he loves playing the clever cunt. Definitely thinks he's a cut above other football journalists, and is absolutely obsessed with the smell of his own farts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s still usually birth right, cathedral on the hill and other patronising stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14075 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If it’s true that there’s more of an ideological issue between Howe, Nickson et al and Ashworth, then it’s absolutely right to let him go and hopefully get some serious wedge for him in the process. Everything to do with footballing matters should be around giving Eddie Howe every possible advantage to succeed as he’s still the man to take us onward IMO. If shifting to a turbo-charged version of moneyball sees us separate the very best of the best from the top tier of European player, then that has to be the way to go. That’s not to say I think Howe should be choosing his own DOF but it should be someone with who he’s closely aligned in most principles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He replied tbf to him saying that all Fleet Street journos were told not to print anything derogatory about Abramovich because corporate media were shit scared about the threat of legal proceedings against both them and the individual journos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
