Ostigard because I have a thing for Northern European footballers.

ABSOLUTELY CREAMING MYSELF OVER LEO OSTIGARD NGL

When I was 5 or 6 it was Trond Solvedt because he had a cool name. Then became Magnus Hedman because I started playing in goal. It then became both Westwood and Gunnarson. I think they were everyones favourites of that period though? I liked Cyrus Christie as well and always look out for how...

I think we can all file him in the 'Anonymous' category. So many of the signings during that period were completely and utterly garbage and I struggle to remember them even now.

Josh McQuoid will be playing in the National League South playoff final today for Weymouth

I would be interested to know Wasps contingency plans for the upcoming season and the current state of their accounts. From what I remember they were already beginning to look financially unstable before the pandemic (IIRC weren't there a number of bonds due to be repaid?) Given the complete...

The secret footballer books (Widely acknowledged now as Dave Kitson) slate most pundits - with the exception of Gary Neville. He reckons Savage, Mills and certain others were forced into punditry because they were taken to the cleaners by dodgy scams and HMRC chasing them for back taxes. For...

Have to say Kelly has been very poor on the ball, great off it though.

Coventry.....

"And the ball goes out for a Bolton throw in..." Can they get a commentator that's not been out on the piss?

This is going to descend into a debate far too complex for a coventry city forum! There will always be exceptions to a rule - but I'd argue that unless we are clearly talking about exceptions e.g. Pep, Klopp, SAF and an early career Wenger - the rest fall within an entirely average and...

Because if you can predict whole life strategies and behaviours across populations, then you can predict the outcome of a sporting event. You just have to have a robust enough data set

As a biology graduate I find it insane to suggest that you can't use statistics to predict human centric behaviours or the results of them. I said at the start that I'm not totally on board with the theory, I think it's more correlatative than causative. But I have to say I do think the role...

Has anybody confirmed this? Your reply seems very certain and I cant remember reading anything official that says this. I'm just sceptical that Norwich would sign a contract that pays out even after a player has left. It makes absolutely zero sense to do so. In theory it works, in practice I...

I'm not sure that this would be true? I've never heard of transfer clauses being passed forward - Why would Norwich agree to a clause that pays us a fee even if the player has moved on from them? I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong, but it absolutely makes no sense to me that we would...

They actually do a whole section explaining this as well - it's honestly well worth a read. Particular some of the chat around game theory and penalty shootouts and around Englands performance.

I'm part way through reading 'Why England lose and other phenomena explained They make a really compelling argument for managers having statistically zero impact on how a team finishes in the league - Regression analysis actually almost entirely puts something like 70% of the explanation for...

This referee is fucking awful (Not just iFollow). Not biased, just dog shite.
