He's old, leave him alone.
It is exactly this type of statistical analysis that stifles British sport (I've seen in first hand in rugby). Big numbers don't mean big results. |  |

Well one thing that I could have predicted based on past evidence is that you would attempt to try to criticise what I wrote without admitting that you had read it since you lack the intellectual honesty to engage in a discussion with someone that you know is going to make you look stupid (again).
I'm not entering a discussion on the rest of the nonsense contained within your little tantrum as you don't know what you're talking about.
Grow up. |
I guess I missed the "tantrum" part of Dav's reply. Or maybe there's more to this than just this thread, because I have no idea how this got so contentious when y'all are both making a lot of good, sound points.
He's right though about how people often hate statistics simply because they misuse them. The purpose is not to predict, especially in such a fluid situation as this Swans season. And it does get more than a little annoying when a straw man argument is created out of this misuse, though I'm not sure that was a personal shot at you, Lisa, especially since he was quoting someone else.
You'd think the oft used disclaimer "past results do not guarantee future performance" would sorta go without saying, but there's a reason you see it used over and over again. [Post edited 10 Feb 2016 3:30]

I agree with this Tummer.
A balanced view always has room for data.
I also agree that reactions on here often become unnecessarily condescending or insulting without real justification/provocation. My advice is to try and read any post at face value without making any pre-conceived assumptions on hidden meanings or carrying any baggage from previous disputes with the poster. Sometimes difficult with the games some play on here.
Each to their own. It's only an internet forum.
Anyway - it's been at least 4 clear pages since I tried (and miserably failed) to derail this predictable car crash of a thread. Anyone else got any dick jokes? [Post edited 10 Feb 2016 6:30]

Barring Laudrup's first six months and the promotion season under Martinez, the year under KJ where we scored well over 100 goals in all comps is up there for the most fun I've had watching us. |
We had some huge wins in the first half of our first season at the Liberty, 7-1 vs Bristol City, 5-2 at Walsall and 5-1 vs Chesterfield to name a few. It was the right time for him to leave when he did, but to paint his entire reign as dull as some people do is definitely wrong. |  | | |

Most people acknowledge that now, apart from a few misanthropic types. |  |

Was that when Tatey and Leon were carving up the right side of the field? I remember a 3-2 against Blackpool where they all stopped for offside and Trunds walked alongside the ball into the net, and McLeod smacking in a couple in a 3-1 (?) against Barnsley. Those were good, entertaining days out.
I also remember Scunny home 0-2 where it was obvious he had to go as the wheels had come off. Plus ca change....or some other apt froggy phrase. |  |

It is ever interesting to see how different people can see the same thing so differently.
I don't think Flynn "got us up" or even "kept us up." At best, he didn't put us down. Not the same.
I'll never forget his outrageous antics on television in celebration of the Swans staying up. As if he had something to do with it. |
First sentence very apt Davillin as I was talking about Jackett! |  |

Always remember going to Southend in a 1st vs 2nd clash. Billed as Eastwood vs Trundle by the media (biggest match that weekend due to International break), and turning them over with some brilliant attacking football under KJ.
Great away day. |  | | |

Remember him getting sent off at Mansfield, I think in our promotion season?, for picking up two yellow cards in a minute. If I remember correctly that was the game where Austin had a goal disallowed down the other end right at the start but nobody seemed to realise that it had been disallowed. I was very confused when everyone I spoke to at half time thought it was 1-1. | | | |

Wasn't the statistician's psalm then - the good old Nr23 ! Being the sum of three other consecutive prime numbers 5, 7 and 11.

Agree with all that.
It changed for me not long after we extended his contract.
A bit like Monk after his contract was revised. |  |
