Spainsea's Run In

only important goal scoring stat so far this season... we have 45 to Carcrash FC's 29

more than 50% more.. mmmm

We have a great goal difference which is always worth a point.

maybe not always...but agree its a major asset for you this year...........do you have a picture of yourself in a clown outfit with the word muppet too?

no we have Chinese writing on ours which translated says 'Theres only one team in wales'.

my translation is more accurate than saying that the Swans are a hoofball side

Is it not true that you have completed the most long balls in the prem this season then? Despite constantly criticising Cardiff for this exact style of play?

Plus if there's only one team in Wales, how did you possibly end up losing to another one this season?!

or mores the point..if you saw a logo saying..theres only one team in Wales..how would ANYONE conclude it was Swansea?

Spainsea to lose their next 5, Hull away; Chelsea home; Newcastle away; Villa home and Southampton home. Finally, they're down to their last match away at Sunderland and it's squeaky bottom time. It gets to the last 2 minutes and it's time for an Oscar nomination again. Queue the Spainsea player rolling over clutching his face after being struck by the invisible man. The referee gives a free kick which somehow falls to a Spainsea player who sounds like a girl. I think they call him Chick; he takes the ball and blasts it first time between the posts, but over the bar. Shame the Ospreys left the egg posts in place, but all is not lost as the Ospreys now want to sign him to take their penalties!

You do realise it's not an insult to nickname our rivals after the world champions?

its a dig at how they THINK they play, NOT a complement on how they actually play
you know......when Turner hoofs it 60 yards its hoofball and he is a donkey. when zico shelvey does it ,they are pin point pases.
its called sarcasm

But they rarely do it.

We have thhighest number of passes per game, the odds are we will have the most of every type of pass.

The only people that really try to play long balls are Ashleys cross field passes to the wings amd shelveys through balls. However as we do like 600 passes per game, even 5% of long passes adds up at 30 per game. 5% of all oasses being constituted as "long" is not long ball.

Where as a team that hits 25 long passes but only 125 passes per game will hit less long passes but at 25% it will be a more long ball style of play.

have you played/coached/managed?.......its all maths with you........you do realise that tans marshal should score came from a business lecture where he spoke about laws of average?....just giving you a bit of advice as to how stupid you can look saying something that makes sense to you, but not to anyone that actually KNOWS the game...

Yep ive played and coached.

Not that it matters, it is common sense and nothing to do with business, its the game. Unless of course you think Swansea are a hoofball side and im wrong

Making the "most" long passes means nothing as a stand alone stat as it isnt taking into consideration the % of total passes that makes up. Just like goalscoring, id rather sign a player that scored 20 goals from 30 chances last season as opposed to 25 from 300 chances - so the stat "goals scored" doesn't pain the true picture does it?

So are you suggesting Swansea are a hoofball side then meaning im wrong? .... Or are you on your usual troll roathie spree?

so youd rather a striker get 20 than get 25.... the guy on 25 chased lost causes,and was in the right place far more often. and due to that his chances were not as clear as the layabout who got 20?????????

Absolutely i would prefer the striker that scored 20 from 30 chances than 25 from 300 chances, because our side creates more an his which means he will convert more of them than the 25 goal man would

nope your just plain silly.........you have books but no brains..sorry mr roath but 25 really is more than 20

What book do I have that tells me that the % of long balls is more important than amount then? The book of common sense?

Where did I say 25 was more than 20? I said a striker that scores 20 goals from 30 chances os more desirable than one that scores 25 from 300 chances, again that doesnt come from a book that is just football - innovative football thinking and not just taking a plain stat at face value.

i have no idea what you read...........but you tend to be full of facts and figures which you try and fail to make sense of.........its just how you come across.......not thick..but unable to grasp things and join the dots.........every chance is different, like passes ...how you conclude that a team that passes the most MUST therefore pass long the most beats me...and on your reckoning Shearer isnt the most prolific striker ever in the prem, cornelius is { only had 1 chance }.
no..its shearer..and will remain shearer.until someone SCORES more

It makes sense thou, just not to you

The reason i know the team that passes a lot more must therefore pass the ball the most because the team that does.... Is swansea who are obviously not a long ball team.... What were you saying about stats and books again? Use your eyes

The shearer and cornelius comparison is not the same as they dont have the same amount of data. In terms of this particular stat (long ball) then all teams have played relatively the same amount of games.

You also specified "prolific striker" - which of course makes no sense. If you meant "Prolific goalscorer" then you would be correct - but that isnt a direct similie.

if you said "best finisher" then goals scored would not be the stat to look at as it wouldnt say much as a stand alone stat. Just as looking at most clean sheets wont tell you the best goalkeeper and indeed most long balls wont tell you the team with the ling ball style as it could only make up a small % of their game - which indeed it does

Maybe you should try watching the game instead of your "book stats"
