Why bother?

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.

Remember Lawrie Sanchez's favourite "We'd be top in games were 80 minutes long" stat?

I want to live in a world where founding fathers of our beloved sports felt it was in the best interests to have each half divided into 29 minutes Cheesy To hell with all this round number bollocks.

In conclusion, yes those stats are indeed rubbish!

And if we hadnt played a game this season we'd be 21st on alphabetical order.  So Malpas must be doing allright to have got us up to 20th.

Or is that another useless stat.  People seem to make a living making this shit up.

If all our games were stopped from the 38th to 43rd minute and 60th-66th minute we'd be 4th in the  table.

If we scored more goals than our opponents then we would be top of the league.
