Early for team news! Not that surprised Lallana isn't starting, and looking forward to the impact he will make when he comes on!
As I said, the stat is true, and by itself it implies nothing. It's not the stat that is stupid, it's your inference. Great insight
No, what's stupid is how regularly people pass the stat around to prove an unspecified point despite the fact it doesn't really prove anything.
I didn't give you any insight, I gave you a fact. Any insight you gleaned from it is your own. Someone else mentioned the fact we tend to take the lead, so it was relevant. I do apologise if you're offended by people discussing football on here. Seriously, what is wrong with people today? St Brendy is the only one to have offered an intelligent response.
It's not an official announcement, just what I was told. Could always be wrong. Although, it's pretty straight-forward. Glad to see Poche has picked Luke again though.
Please, ptf, stop the sanctimonious bullshit for one day. Are you meaning to say that should someone post on here about Lambert scoring more goals in the first half when he wears black boots to red boots, you'd not treat it with disdain? Or would you permit it as "it's a fact so any insight you glean is your own blah blah blah"
I have never abused anyone simply for stating a relevant fact if that's what you're asking. You'd be uptight as well if you had a bunch of keyboard warriors jumping on you for no reason. Anyway I've got better things to do than continue this rubbish - how's that for sanctimonious?
Have to agree. You seem like an intelligent poster, but by god you can be annoying with your omnipotence. You seem to rate your own opinion so much, that you give others little thought. Nothing personal, just a point of view.

The reason that particular stat annoys me is that it sounds a lot worse than it is. It's not great that we've let so many leads slip, but it'd actually be worse if we'd lost those games without ever having taken the lead. At least we're scoring.
