Ice Hockey too - 82 games a season (often back to back games) in a sport that is much more physical and demanding than Football - they seem to manage fairly well

 

In a game played in a much smaller area, with only 6 aside, and a squad of roughly the same amount of players.

And the games are half an hour shorter with 2 breaks instead of just one.

And I'd disagree that it's anymore physically demanding, other than the occasional fight.

And with the line changes each shift lasts approx 45s-1m with stars playing about 25 mins a game.

What is the y axis representing?

 

Top left bad and lucky , top right good and lucky , bottom right good and unlucky, bottom left bad and unlucky (I think)

Yeah this - if you look at teams that a furthest to the right they are the best, based on his model. Doesn't tie in with the popular narrative round here that we are really bad!

 

Ive seen quite a lot of statistical analaysis rating us really highly.

It shows we are the third most unlucky team in the PL.

 

 

Perhaps we can get lucky in 2017 and improve our league position

What is the y axis representing?

 

For fear of being slightly, but unintentionally, patronising to [largely] intelligent people, I hope this helps:

 

The vertical [y] axis represents how good each team is (based on current league position). Right of the line, you're good. Left of the line, you're not.

 

The horizontal [x] axis represents how lucky each team is, on balance. The 'luck' line, if you will. Above the line, you get more good luck than bad luck. Below the line, more bad than good luck.

 

So, Burnley are lucky not to be bottom because, being above the x axis they have more good luck than bad luck.

Swansea, it could be argued, are where they are in the league partially because they are really unlucky (a long way below the 'luck' line).

Chelsea, Spurs & especially Arsenal get more than their fair share of good luck.

We're doing pretty well despite being pretty unlucky.

Man City should be a million points ahead of everyone else because they're (apparently) the 2nd best team, despite being the most unlucky.

 

It's an interesting scatter graph, but I couldn't find anything which explains what merits being called 'luck', good or bad.

Watched Poch's pre match interview, I think I like him again ! :blush:

 

I think Poch's stock has risen amongst Saints fans since the end of last season for one particular reason - he isn't Ronald Koeman.

I don't think they've acted all that differently to be honest? I mean Poch had the usual to say after joining a new club "huge, great fans, etc etc" and Koeman is doing exactly the same.

 

They're both modern managers and this is the done thing, (don't get me wrong I will continue to irrationally loathe the buggers).

Long shot I know, but if anyone has both an adult ticket and an U11 ticket for Spurs on Wednesday, please let me know. Thank you.

 

No worries, I have managed to get two in the Family Stand. COYS!

Koeman was dishonest. He said he was staying then left - and with a record of criticising money-chasers to boot. Pochettino just dodged the questions, which is the right way of going about it if you want to leave. He's a good guy and so is Koeman, but the latter did not treat us well at all and deserves stick for it.

When is the line up usually confirmed? Here in argentina about two or maybe three days before the match, thats why i asked

The line up is announced 1 hour before kick off.

It'll be confirmed at 18.45 UK time, which I believe is 15.45 in Argentina

not sure how it happened but I'm sure you've stated the wrong axis and dimension in each case but everything else looks about right.

You made me doubt myself, so I checked. I Googled it & found this:

 

"The x-axis is a horizontal line and the y-axis is a vertical line."

 

Big 'phew' from me :D

no I mean the good is measured on the x axis, from left to right with the y axis intersecting at 0 on x and vice versa.

vice versa isn't the right word, is it.

 

i should spell it out.

bad/good is measured on the x axis with values ascending from bottom (unlucky) to top (lucky), and the y axis intersects with the x axis at 0 or neutral

 

unlucky/lucky is measured on the y axis with values ascending from bottom (unlucky) to top (lucky), and the x axis intersects witht he y axis at 0 or neutral

Got it.

 

Bugg'red up in my post, didn't I? :lol: Blooming maffs! I think most got the idea of the chart, whether the explanation is good or [as in my case] not.

 

Anyway, here's hoping our good play continues against Spuds, maybe with a dose of good luck, too.

We are technically an excellent team, very disciplined and well organised. We have lacked the cutting edge (before Bournemouth) and the ability to break down well organised defences.

I wonder fi wanyama will be warming the bench...as predicted when he moved to spurs

 

i guess the fact you predicted that just confirms you really know nothing about football.

after 17 games last season spurs were a place higher in the table without Vic and we were four places lower with Vic guess its worked out OK for us.....

Given the ridiculous fixture schedule (3 games in 6 days) there is no doubt the line up v WBA will differ massively from the one that starts tonight. The line up tonight will then repeat itself v Everton barring any injuries/suspensions. Norwich cup game will see mixture of WBA lineup and youngsters play.

 

6pts from 9 would be decent return imo.

6 points from three games would be an excellent return for us in any run of three league games. 6 or more from these three would be fantastic.

Due to circumstances, I've just put 2 seats on the SFC Ticket Exchange, sat together end aisle Block 35 if anyone looking. Wasn't showing online yet a few mins ago so best phone ticket office if keen.
