    I love facts, figures and statistics, I wouldn't be doing the Prediction League otherwise, and I find it intriguing that while we're the best team over 90 minutes, we're only 5th best over the first 45.

    Simple one to answer is this sinkov. After 70 minutes of chasing the football like a Jack Russell does with a beach ball on a windy Southport beach the opposition are knackered.
    Millwall turned out to be the odd exception but I still thought we would do them in the last 5 minutes and so did the home fans because they were whistling like canaries for another totally bloody useless referee to end the game.

    Sounds logical mon ami, and Swansea, a team with even more possession than us, would seem to bear this out. Although they haven't had the same success as us, their games follow a similar pattern, 18th in the 1st half table, up 7 places to 11th in the 2nd half.

    Might it be because the Swans can't bring on the likes of Rodriguez, Benson, Twine, Churlinov, Dervisoglu, Foster and Obafemi if Barnes, Tella and Zaroury are not quite cutting it after 60 minutes mon ami?

    Got the train back from South Bermondsey post-match and the Millwall fans to a person said Burnley are the best equipped and best footballing team in the Championship by a country mile.

    How Kompany turned our lot around within six months is mind-blowing! I want him to dispense me with the same "Elixir of Youth" he is shoving down Barnes' throat!
