    I don't know if any of you guys like/know this website but he writes (imo) good articles on football tactics, often the english game. Here he's debunked the myth that Bolton have played attractive and attacking football with some scatter graphs showing pass completions/long balls/tackles etc. I found it quite interesting but it has every team in the premier league's stats on these graphs too so you might be interested in the graphs concerning Newcastle, if not the whole article! <ok>

    I like the Stoke v Arsenal passing completion comparison, the two polar opposites <laugh>

    "Here he's debunked the myth that Bolton have played attractive and attacking football with some scatter graphs showing pass completions/long balls/tackles etc". Being pedantic they are a form of bar chart, not scatter graphs ;) However, very interesting article!
