He is not much of a pundit but he said nice things about our club this afternoon, he said how much he loved watching us play football and that we play ultimate football , thanks for the kind words Andrew cole. My thoughts on the game today , well i thought Bolton were crap! considering they have some "name" players in their experienced squad they wernt up to much , there must be a total lack of confidence in their team , in fact i thought Pratley was one of their best players! The Swans did well and Joe Allen is adding a £ 1m pounds to his value with every game he plays! awesome yet again. Intresting point regarding the article about our fitness , anybody notice how knackered dyer was at the end? didnt have the energy to celebrate the goal with DG even!! pulled up with cramp a few minutes before aswell The after game stats showed that Joe allen covered most miles 9,5 then if i remember correctly it was rangel 9,1m dyer 9,1m Sinclair 9,1m intresting with scott sinclair covering about the same distance as the top 2 not as lazy as some may think! Joe allen is way out in front in terms of millage covered and i thought he was way out in front generally speaking for 90mins . Pleased DG scored again he is starting to look clinical at either end of the pitch now!! One gripe ,nearly gave me a heart attack when the OG went in !! why do our team spend so much time trying to kill their own supporters !! for once it would nice to watch a comfortable home win without any drama!! but i guess that wouldnt be the swans On to Liverpool next week and we must show them zero respect, if Norwich can go there and give a performance then so can we ,the canaries have showed there is nothing to be afraid of so lets get stuck in and not worry about swapping shirts with the liverpool guys until we have been into them for the full 90mins with guts ,passion and ability. who else thought Brenden learnt from the wWolves game today ?? could have been another disaster if he had changed too much, as it was we got another goal something that should have happened against wolves !! Glad Brenden is taking in the lessons and learning from them
Good points Norway. We need to go to Liverpool believing we can get a result. Brendan ()looked like he learnt his lessons as you say, and hopefully he'll have something up his sleeve for Kenny!
Agree scott, im watching the Liverpool game right now and i honestly dont think we should be worried about Liverpool they are not in the same class as Chelsea ,Arsenal and Man city so this is a game we should be thinking about taking our first big scalp!! We are a quarter way through the season so there shouldnt be too many suprises left for the players by now! lets go to Liverpool and announce our arrival to the masses!!
Norway, I noticed (via my Sunday paper), that last week Dyer Allen & Britton were all marked as over 7.5 miles. I had a look at other team stats, and they were by far the most - however there were only 5 prem games on the Saturday. I must say that 7.5 miles last week, and they were subbed before the end how do they have time to play football eh? So I'll look tomorrow and check again, and put up the figures.
yes do that mate. stats seem to be differeny where ever you go . the info on my tv station was saying 9,5m for joe and the rest around 9,2
Norway, as promised. Unfortunately with there being so many Saturday games, not much room in the paper for a full spread on Swansea. But here are the votes on the teams that did play: According to The Mail Sport on Sunday (using the EA Sports Player Performance Index, official guide of the Barclays Premier League - so the paper says anyway!!!) Team..........Fastest Liverpool.....Agger 26.83 mph Arsenal.......Arteta 26.79 mph Swansea.....Monk 26.75 mph Sunderland..Brown 26.73 mph Aston Villa...N'Zogbia 26.73 mph Chelsea......Sturridge 26.72 mph Everton......Fellaini 26.69 mph Bolton........Reo-Coker 26.66 mph Man City.....Barry 26.66 mph Wolves.......Berra 26.63 mph West Brom..McAuley 26.61 mph Man Utd.....Rooney 25.72 mph Blackburn...No Stats Fulham.......No Stats Norwich.....No Stats Wigan........No Stats Team........Fittest Wolves......O'Hara 7.9 miles Arsenal.....Ramsey 7.83 miles Man Utd....Rooney 7.82 miles Man City....Barry 7.75 miles Everton....Fellaini 7.72 miles Liverpool..Adam 7.54 miles Swansea...Allen 7.46 miles Chelsea.....Mata 7.28 miles Sunderland.Colback 7.2 miles West Brom.Brunt 6.72 miles Bolton.......Reo-Coker 6.57 miles Aston Villa..Warnock 6.48 miles Blackburn...No Stats Fulham......No Stats Norwich.....No Stats Wigan.......No Stats Best Player - Robin Van Persie - Arsenal Best Defender - Gael Givet - Blackburn Top Tackler - Andre Santos - Arsenal Best Passer - Leon Britton - Swansea Dirtiest Player - Alex Song - Arsenal Worst Passer - James Collins - Aston Villa Most Tackled - Victor Moses - Wigan Worst Player - Ricardo Gardner - Bolton Who'd have thought The Monk could move that quick?? Rooney runs a lot - but not very quickly!
Something tells me that all is not right with them there stats if monk is quicker than most of the prem league!! i will get you the stats from TV2 in Norway and post them here
I was reading 'The Mail' this morning and found some of thier stats odd, how can Monk be faster than Dyer and Arteta faster than Walcott? Something wrong somewhere.
