Perhaps that's why Britton passes backwards so often, as he may have been a scrum half in his childhood! 8-)


Do you have a link to that?

My son sent it to me via text from a twitter source!

I don't do Twitter, but it originated from @SOCCERSTAT_FACT: if that helps?


Not really. Twitter said you were signing Aaron Lennon too. I highly doubt that stat is accurate 43% of passes forward is not a defensive midfielders role and if it is true its probably why you were torn apart so easily as you were outnumbered once he passes forward.

A lot of assumptions in your post!

I dont understand your point regarding Britton? Because hes taken years (although he did it from day 1) to get amazing stats yet medel has worse stats, hes worse?

Please explain..

Can't see why you've mentioned one discreditable poster on Twitter to try and discredit another poster on Twitter, who may well be very creditable!

MAY is the key word you used there.

I used the example to show that twitter is not the greatest source of accurate info. All thats left is assumption.

There can be only assumption, your source is a twitter feed.

But I never said the tweet was creditable and haven't made any assumptions!

I merely posted the source, whereas you decided to make assumptions and ruled out the post as discreditable, without even knowing whether it was true or not!

Where did i say if it was credible or not?

I said i cant take any notice of an anonymous twitter site and gave an example as to why this would be foolish. If you can link me to a reputable source then we can talk i.e. OPTA

Britton was excellent in the Man City match but lacked the ohysical prowess to deal with Yaya Toure. Funnily enough that season was the one in which he had better passing stats than Xavi - years eh? :lol:

You however, chose to dismiss the source's stats out of hand, as it suits your agenda!

We post 16m profit a year, each year and thats without the 40% income increase.... Its perfectly sustainable :wink:

The fact your soending has almost guaranteed you another loss this year means your way of doing things is incredibly unsustainable, especially considering your fans dont even think the ridiculous spending has given you a good enough team :laughing6:

To clarify matters for the last time, I posted some stats, which may or may not be accurate, which I never said were accurate!

I haven't dismissed them out of hand, as I don't know whether they are correct or not!

I have no agenda and I'm sure if you really wanted to, you could find out whether they are accurate or not!

I however, have better things to do with my time and couldn't give a shite whether the stats are accurate or not, I merely posted them and provided the source to you, which may or may not be creditable!

I'm sorry I started posting in this thread now, as I didn't realise I was talking to somebody on day release!
