More good news, Saints are the third most competent team in the league based on these (fun) metrics. No real surprises to those that watch the team regularly, we are generally pretty competent in most areas nowadays!

Oh i see, the tables underneath are cumulative.

861 passes incomplete in our own half though, jesus!

It is quite a shocking stat if correct. Thats on average 23 times per game. Would like to know the other part of that stat, i.e. the number of successful passes in your own half.

I thought Pelle had also been booked for removing his shirt, not just Tadic, but have to assume that was in a cup game or that I have a memory failure.

I don't think that's too bad when compared to crystal palace throwing the ball to opposition 266 from their own throw ins? At least a pass takes some skill.

He got booked in the 2-3 Stoke away win for jumping the barrier and running to the fans after his 2nd goal.

Hmm, something about these stats doesn't add up. Does an incomplete pass in own half mean any passes played from your own half? So any goal kicks, long balls up to Pelle that he didn't win would count as incomplete in own half?

Still doesn't account for Palaces outrageously high amount of failed throw ins, that still doesn't sound accurate.

So yeah, that was the cup game and wouldn't count.
