Match Day Thread Hull City v Leeds

Early doors, Cov, Leeds, Leicester, Bristol, Norwich and Blackburn will all be aiming for top 6 (and have the squads/gaffers to achieve it)

 

At the minute, one of those, perhaps more, will have a change of gaffer before the season ends.

Poached by an EPL team?

 

Sacked.

Unlikely as they'll all be top six, as has been foretold

 

Unlike Stevie Wonder, we shall see.

I've never played Football Manager in my life.

Want to answer my question about 'shots on target' or a 1 in 2 striker instead of xG after you mocked the notion of scoring 0.5 goals a game? Or just unwilling to accept different stats can be used in different ways?

 

"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics"
Samuel Langhorne Clemens

 

You’re a Tory aren’t you, manipulating figures to suit, You either score goals or you don’t. FACT.

 

Wtf?

 

Only did Littlewoods. Always used the same numbers. Except when one of them was a City then used the one after as I didn’t want to win because City had dropped a point. Talk about bloody stupid.

 

I once looked that up because people quote him as saying it. Turns out no record of him saying that but Mark Twain quotes him as doing so. It seems Clemens maybe have got the idea from Lord Courtney.Couldn’t remember the whole passage but earlier Lord Courtney had said in a speech “'After all, facts are facts, and although we may quote one to another with a chuckle the words of the Wise Statesman, "Lies - damn lies - and statistics," still there are some easy figures the simplest must understand, and the astutest cannot wriggle out of.’”

 

Mark Twain quoted himself?

 

Comprehension problems? Lord Courtney wrote that before Clemens wrote about Mark Twain quoting Disraeli as saying it.

Bet you think Voltaire said that stuff about disagreeing with what you say but defending to the death your right to say it.

 

Mark Twain is the pen name of Samuel Clemens

 

"What the ****!!!"
Mayor of Hiroshima.

 

It was actually "What the F"

 

I remember having a similar mindset. Wtf!

 

Get away. He quoted Disraeli as saying it in The Memories Of Mark Twain.
