So flyer..what do the stats say about Joe Cole v Tarbs.... Pretty sure JC has won more medals and achieved more..does that make him better? Please post up some unbiased stats for the two..could be intresting ....! Beofre we start this and people start discreditting stats..remember it has to carry onb all season.. Quick stats to please a few We have never won this season when Tarbs has played We have never won when Ceasar has been in goal We havent won when Granero has played So maybe we should consider losing those players...they ae rubbish and we neve win.. therefore: I suggest stats should really be left out of any "serious" football conversation from now on...just a thought !! Sorry F..but you know how i feel about this !
I posted individual stats about Taarabt, you are posting teams stats which is totally different. Boswinga won a CL medal but that doesnt make him our best defender.
Back on topic, Harry will not go for Joe Cole unless he has developed senelity from the time between leaving Spurs and joining us. Harry knows how to do a proper deal and this one is just filling out column inches on a slow news day.
Thats a rubbish reponse mate..i tried to even it up a litte but lets try this.. FACT: QPR have not won a gane this season in the prem with Tarbs playing... so do we dump him? does that expalin why stats are "****e"?
FACT: QPR have not won a game this season in the prem with Tarbs playing That's true but Queens you forgot another important fact FACT: QPR have not won a game this season in the prem Stats can be useful if they're used in correct way But everybody seems to manipulate them today There a little haiku for you. If you're going to use stats use the broader picture not just the stat that suits you
Pirate, There is a very well recorded quote that says There's lies, damn lies and statistics"....who? the point i was making is that using stats, i can proveto you that the sky is green (colour pigmentation); Tarbs is better than Messi(earlier thread) and that i am a god in bed...can give info if needed!! Fact is ..stats are a sportmans way of explaining what they dont understand about human decisions and pschology..its an excuse and a reason to not lose an argument. Can anyone ever really believe Tarbs is better than messi ? Like you say Pirate, stats are usefull when used correctly..problem is too many use ithem to prove stupid points!! make sense?
That explains why team stats are ****e. I can also say we havent won a game without him playing. However personal stats like goals assists, saves, chances created are not ****e, they are a direct influence on the game.
