After seeing Vastmans comment I had a quick look at the stats and found the exact same as yourself! Stats are not really open to interpretation either so it seems he was disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing...

Yeah of course I am. There is an old saying from thr British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. - now toddle off.

Don't talk daft; statistics are like a bikini - what they reveal is interesting, but what they hide is vital.

I agree with what you say Bren but its only when people try to use them to draw complex conclusions.
If you use statistics to decide who the best player is, then it is open to interpretation and misunderstanding.
If you want to find out who the top tackler is, its a straight updact

Homme Vaste, I'm not sure you speak Vastman as well as I do.
If you put this in to Google translate it will help you but effectively he means, "Yes sorry you are right. I was being an booty and got called out about it. I'll probably do it again though"

Hate to see a player get a testimonial, they never play well during the testimonial season , they are distracted and it also distracts the rest of the squad.

What an arrogant individual you really are. You're the one who only sees things in black and white or in a way that only suits your own viewpoint. It's not just me who's shot down your ludicrous stats argument, numerous posters have, so do they speak Vastman as well?

Or is it more accurate that speak Homme Vaste rather to well

It's you who as ever is wrong regarding you're slavish love of statistics, so why for once don't you head you're own advice?

Alternativly should I just agree with you that Kirmond is indeed the player he was when he got his last big contract, I mean seriously anyone can see he's still blasting through those gaps at speed whilst playing every game for the full eighty minutes - because that's clearly what you're suggesting pal.

Lol. You do make me laugh.
You were wrong. You'll just have to live with it.
If a little tantrum helps then ok.

Move on now.

He's damned right about you being arrogant Poptart.

Re: Danny K : Sat Jun 16, 2018 2:51 pm  

Jesus just imagine if I’d of wrote either of those comments!

You’re both wrong by the way... He’s pretty fair and has an opinion like the rest of us. Stats would usually help support an opinion/point.

Re: Danny K : Sat Jun 16, 2018 4:04 pm  

All I said was that he deserved another year and that the stats show he still has it.......where others said they didn't think he had it anymore.
I didn't say he was as good as his younger days or comment on anybody else's post.

Vastman chose to comment on mine and contradict my post without checking the facts.
So I supplied the evidence to back up my statement.

So if my response came across as arrogant then so be it. The intention was only to call out a bully.
