    Things that are wrong with football thread

    I've got a book about football statistics at home, not to hand unfortunately, that talks about exactly this in one section. What was interesting for me was how it appears to be a very deliberate tactic at times. The game with the least "live ball" time on record (at time of publishing) was a...

    Stat of the weekend

    Yeah, non-league only brought them in in the late 80's. Might have been the year we won the cup actually :emoji_thinking: To paraphrase a saying, why ruin a good statistic with facts though!

    Stat of the weekend

    Nothing like a bit of sensationalism to start the week. Even if they weren't able to be promoted/relegated for a lot of it, watching a team in the same league, probably against largely the same teams for that long must get dull.

    Stat of the weekend

    We go on about not having finished 6th or above in any division for 48 years (and counting?), but an even greater wait was ended this weekend. Gainsborough Trinity (established in 1873) were relegated from the National North. It is the first time they have ever been promoted or relegated in...

    Lincoln, Mansfield or Us?

    When I say I'm not concerned with those 2 games I mean in terms of struggling to beat them. We've picked up after Yeovil/Notts C and seem to have got our confidence back, so I'm not worried like the OP. I think we can do exactly what you say and go into the play offs as the form team

    Lincoln, Mansfield or Us?

Think realistically looking at the fixtures now it's Lincoln who we have a chance of catching, massive day tomorrow" "So Coventry are out of the picture. We need...

    What are you doing with your 'day off'?

    Should be watching Salford gain promotion to the National League. Only need a draw at home against mid-table Boston to clinch the title. I’ll be entertaining friends instead though, had the day in the calendar for a while unfortunately and both of the hate football.

    F1 2018 season

    Had to get a train yesterday morning so only caught the first half of the race, then listened to the rest on the radio. Caught up with the highlights last night. Great strategy call by Red Bull yesterday, gave Danny and Max the platform to show what they can do when they've got a reliable car...
