Title: Pointless stats Post by: land_of_bo on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 07:14:11 Why bother?
Quote Instead of sitting joint top with Chelsea, Liverpool would be 14 points worse off if their matches had finished after 58 minutes. (The Times) Great, thanks for that.

In conclusion, yes those stats are indeed rubbish! Title: Re: Pointless stats Post by: adje on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 09:13:17 It's like those ridiculous "head-to-head" records,absolutely irrelevant

Or is that another useless stat. People seem to make a living making this shit up. Title: Re: Pointless stats Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Tuesday, October 21, 2008, 09:54:12 If all our games were stopped from the 38th to 43rd minute and 60th-66th minute we'd be 4th in the table.
