    OMT Spurs - Fulham

    There is no rule in the League about having 14 players available. The precedent with Emirates Marketing Project, Saudi Sportswashing Machine etc. was there, they are not lucky at all. The 14 players you somehow quote as law was guidance, it is not in the League's rules. For all we know they had no medical staff or goalkeepers...

    OMT Spurs - Fulham

    Scott Parker is totally in the right here. Fulham played at the weekend, and named their team for that match, not knowing they would have a game this week. Spurs played at the weekend with a team in preparation for a game this week. Mourinho comparing to a late postponement, which is maybe...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2015/16

    The loyalty point schemes are not the same though for ST holders and non ST holders. if a non STH went to every home league match they would get say 60 points a season, whereas only 20-30 depending on which bracket you are in for a STH. And I totally agree that a season ticket holder should...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Re: Northumberland Development Project - Archway Have Appealed The reason none of the other 70 businesses as such kicked up a stink was because Spurs basically just struck one deal with the landlord of the vast majority of them (not 70 different agreements) and he gave them their notice...

    Suarez - Serial Biter

    How can Liverpool appeal. The punishment is against Suarez and Uruguay. Liverpool are a 3rd party who it effects, as he is their employee but they have no right of appeal. If he was sent to prison for a criminal offence for 4 months, Liverpool would have no rights, and it is the same...

    Roberto Soldado

    Re: Official - Soldado The £13m plus £13m varible is completely incorrect. It was a conversation between Jason Burt and AVB, where I believe AVB misinterpreted/misrepresented the installment plan (which is normal payment terms) It is 2 payments of £13m. Either that or Spurs have just lied in...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    So how comes his almighty predecessor couldn't do it against the same teams then ? You can't have AVB was great, Tim was ****,when against the same teams, with the same players, Tim's record was significantly better.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach No, the the main thing AVB would have done differently, would be to not start Bentaleb or Adebayor and not create chances for Soldado, rely on long shots or an unjustified penalty, and when all else fails, try and settle for a 0-0 and fail.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach It is basically just someone trying to use their view of some flawed statistics and assumptions to show the fact that even though we were playing poor under AVB, and our shooting and saving %'s were rubbish under AVB, that is was all just down to pure luck, and he...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach Would it be remiss of me to counter the fact that all team regress with the actual facts. That is for the first 6 games of this season we were basically at mean (ranging between 100.8 and 99.8) and from then on moved away from the mean almost every week, ending at...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach Source of data is from Opta. Basically just taken the Total Shots, Shots on Target, Shots Conceded and SOTC data and done the calculation. Happy to send you them, PM me your e-mail address Why I think regression to mean doesn't happen in football is because...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach No, I would say the last 2 paragraphs show more your and to a lesser extent the authors misunderstanding of PDO, and its importance within football. He caveats it himself, as he understands its limitations. You suggest the only reason the best teams get a better...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach That is where you are mistaken based on the analysis you presented. He has not done it on goals as a % shots (where the range is between 13% and 5% scored, and 93% to 89% saved) but has done it based on Goals Scored as a % of Shots on Target (where the variance...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach It works in NHL, where rosters are much more similar strength, and the goals scored as a percentage of shots taken is minimal. In football the better teams pay for better players, and arguably therefore should be creating better chances, and therefore scoring...
