I am glad Sunderland have not buckled under pressure from the rabid left wing communist lovers and kept PDC. Keep them up or not at least he cares about how his players play and has a very strong work ethic. The other funny thing is that the most successful manager, a well known Liebour Party supporter, is well known to banish or sell players if they fall out with him like Beckham, Nistleroy, Stam, Keane to name a few. Why not attack him as some mad left wing communist then? You don't because he is successful. When you come down to it that is what ultimately matters in football to the supporters not some communist left wing ideology.

anyone skimreading that, Taylor in central defence isn't Steven Taylor, who's not terrible and was v.highly rated as a youngster. It's Martin Taylor, best known for crocking Eduardo and generally being unable to cope with attackers who can move both legs in tandem and sometimes at speed Mail one is actually miles worse though, only Richards and Walcott even made the England squad (with Sinclair the only other decent shout to do so one day) Babby Thatcher fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Oct 19, 2013 |

"All three will be at their peak, and the onlooking David Beckham, who will probably retire from football at 30 to pursue a rock career, will smile in the stands as his successors shine." lol the truth was even more unlikely and embarrassing

Ravel posted:They boo him because he refused to accept Shawcross' apology and because there were rumours Ramsey prevented his call up to the Wales squad. That's what they claim anyway. this is bollocks anyway, no? Shawcross refused overtures from Wales because he thought he could end up playing for England, which he was right on stoke fans pretty crazy on this one, though not as crazy as the legions of arsenal bloggers that were frantically scouring archives to find past incidents of ryan shawcross, a central defender, committing fouls to prove he was a bad wool etc and should be banned until ramsey is fit again. was mainly the same fans that spent years bemoaning ramsey being in and around the first team.

Last season, United was far from leading the Premier League in creating the lion’s share of shots, or shots on target. United ranked eighth of 20 teams in proportion of shots, and seventh in proportion of shots on target, according to Grayson; and seventh and fourth, respectively, according to Benjamin Pugsley, who uses a slightly different set of underlying numbers. (Soccer doesn’t yet have completely standardized stats — or, as, Pugsley puts it, “Football and numbers is really new.”) How, then, did Manchester United nonetheless lead the league in goal differential? By leading the league in shooting percentage and placing fourth in save percentage. Grayson calls the sum of those two percentages, multiplied by 1,000, PDO (after its hockey name), and he’s shown that it has essentially no value in predicting future results. United led the Premier League in PDO by a big margin last year. It did the same the year before, which at the time prompted Grayson to forecast a United decline — a year too early, as it turned out. So United’s path to the league title last year was a lucky one; its performance didn’t predict continued success this season. Sure enough, United’s PDO has declined from league-leading to seventh best, and that, combined with less-precipitous declines in share of shots and shots on target, has led to the club outscoring opponents by less than half a goal per game, compared to more than a goal per game last season. Not only did United convert shots, and prevent shots, at unusually high — and unsustainable — rates last season. The club also won more matches than expected based on its goal differential. United won the league by 11 points over Manchester City last season. It also had 12 more points than expected based on its goals scored and allowed. This year, it’s getting about as many points as expected based on goal differential. Was Ferguson just lucky last season, or was he able to conjure consistently high levels of shooting accuracy and goalkeeping even after his club’s edge in shots had eroded? On the one hand, his United clubs sustained high levels of PDO during his tenure. On the other hand, there’s some out-of-sample evidence from United’s Champions League performance, this season and last season. In Ferguson’s last year at the helm, United played eight Champions League games, yielded nine more shots than it took and outscored opponents by two goals. Real Madrid eliminated United in the round of 16. In this season’s Champions League, under Moyes, United allowed 32 more shots than it attempted, yet United still outscored opponents by eight goals, advancing to the quarterfinal stage.
