  1. My watford friend is adamant Everton were caught tapping up Silver their manager at the time and things were found on company electronics. Suddenly it all went quiet when everton paid compensation to watford and they brought some young players who didn't really have enough international games to get a work permit but the Premier league helped them.
  2. It is a mad figure but it's a mad world. He is a very good player and has a long contract I believe. He has been looked at by a number of premier league teams and had an offer from villa. I would agree Rowe should be around the same price but you need clubs bidding against each other to reach it. Let's hope that happens, in the summer.
  3. This game shows how average this league is apart from a few clubs. What I can't get is the commentary love in for Armstrong. He reminds me of a certain Cuban. Head down running and very direct but very limited.
  4. I can accept that we might not be able to get the manager we want at this moment in time, but even though this season is as good as over, we can't just drift like we are. Things are getting toxic and even a holding manager until the end of the season would be better. Could that be someone already at the club or a manager at the end of their career just to see us over. It could even be a manager out of work looking to get back in who would take half a season with us to show people what he can do. I'm sure there are plenty of managers out there who would take a job until the end of the season knowing that we have someone already lined up.
  5. Agree with the sentiment completely. We have a poor manager and a poor squad. I can understand why the manager decided to park the bus as he is not tactically good enough and doesn't have the players to do anything different against a promotion chasing side. Of the people I spoke to after the game half were happy. How can anyone be happy with that? we were not playing Man City. We are not going to get relegated so let's at least try to play football.
  6. The first half we were cut open far too often. We created some good chances but also gave away far too many. Against a better team we could have been punished for our wastefulness. Still not sure how the third went in but I will take it. Saturday will be a different test and I still have a funny feeling ip**** will bottle it. Let's hope so anyway.
  7. What is Bannan still doing at Wednesday? I would take him at norwich in a heartbeat.
  8. I will go back to my original point. Why the hell are footballers being made out to be the arbiters of social ideals. A football player is paid to kick or head a ball. They are not paid for their IQ and for some of them that's a blessing. I'm on here because obviously I like football. I will never say a football player is my hero let alone my role model.
  9. It definitely wasn't Bragg. If it was I would have walked out before he opened his mouth. Presonal preference and all that.
  10. Didn't even get the name. Wish I had so I can avoid them myself 🙄
  11. It seems mad to me that people put footballers up as influeners in this modern world. I'm not going to get involved in the rights and wrongs of putting on the armband or not. Just that if someone wanted advice on political, moral or social issues, why would anyone choose a footballer to listen to. The man is a sportman not a social arbiter. Teach kids to look up to their sporting heroes for their ability in sport and not their political and social choices. The same with musicians. I went to a gig the other day and the support act spent more time talking politics than playing.
  12. As you say "You could certainly tailor a programme strictly for yourself, harvesting only certain kinds of data that you feel apply to you and get a a very different outcome from a wider, shared programme that you later filter" The thing I don't understand is if this is able to be done on a reasonable budget, why are the big football data companies not offering this. Im sure most clubs would want the data to be personalised to their needs. These companies are specialists in the field. They must know what clubs are looking for and be able to scale it to sell for a cheaper price than individual clubs going it on their own. Are we going to collection all our own data? With so many game every week in world football this can't lbe realistic. it also worries me that since the spurs game when relegated we have been told we are data driven. We have set up a data team. Our signings since have been very poor. Do you trust the club to use data well as even with the Americans help it hasn't done us much good in the last few years. The more data driven we have apparently become the worse the signings have been.
  13. You obviously know a lot more about this and a lot more than me, to be honest that wouldn't take a huge amount. What I take from what you are saying when you say one size fits all data will be defunct. Surely a business that only does football data will know this and will be able to provide all the data clubs need with the ability to search for the fine details individual clubs want. Are we still going to get the raw data from one of the main providers and then use our own systems to fine tune the results? If not then I don't see how we will collate all the information needed without a huge budget. I just struggle to believe that we, with the budget we will be able to invest in this, will be able to outsmart companies that have been doing this for years and provide a better product for us, it's their only job. When you say questions and prompts Surely the data companies would be able to set this up for every clubs needs and end up doing it a lot cheaper. I am not doubting anything you are saying it just looks like something these companies would either already offer or be able to offer cheaper than doing it ourselves.
