There is no way in hell we can consider the Feyenoord games for statistical purposes

You cold also say Arry inherited Comolli's good work - goes both ways, mate
Statistics don't meant a great deal IMO. Otherwise you couldn't have a manager like AVB sitting on the top of the statistics table without winning major honours, yet Bill Nick further down, despite 8 top hours. The longer a manager's tenure the more chance for dips in form and/or good runs that lead to trophies. Equally if a new manager comes in and he's won 3 out of 4 games he'd have a percentage of 75% and therefore would top the table above anyone.
Well those two 3-0 walkovers against Feyenoord did go towards Tottenham's UEFA coefficient rankings.Wow
Very true.
Which is why I also included a table showing the Major Honours won by all Tottenham Hotspur managers.
Bill Nicholson with 8 of the 17 Major Trophies won by Spurs is obviously head and shoulders above everyone else.
André Villas-Boas has been in charge for 78 matches going into today's game against Anzhi Makhachkala, which I think is a fair number of matches on which to base a statistical record.
Yes, but I wouldnt put them down as two victories in the record books
No he doesn't - he looks significantly better than most managers on there, especially given the number of games.
I was messing
They make PVC jackets
At least spell his name right if you are going to use that quote.
Not associate him with shit clothing!
Reminds me of Martin Jol rocking up and promising to follow in the footsteps of the great "Jim Nicholson".
I get your point, but it just means you've got to choose which statistics you pay attention to get a realistic picture - it doesn't mean stats are useless. I mean the winners of all those competitions Bill won were chosen by looking at stats. Without them, football's pretty much just crap ballet.
No chance. I rate Dawson. But against a player like Suarez you need a different style of defender. Suarez is not going to try and win the ball in the air or bully the centre back with strength. He will turn them inside out and embarrass them with technical ability. Dawson is vulnerable to that.
I thought we sat a little deeper against Sunderland...might be an idea v Liverpool either way
I don't give a fuck about statistical records. Give me a bloody trophy. Any trophy.
There is no better feeling than seeing your side lift a cup. Fact.

I really, really need us to beat Liverpool. I think we can all agree that Liverpool fans are among the worst in football. I hate the cunts.
I suppose it depends on how you view pretty football really.
I personally find a team controlling possession, being patient, pulling the other team about etc, very pleasing on the eye.
Other people like us to surrender the ball to create counter-attacking opportunities.
Neither is right or wrong because it's a personal opinion.
Posted this in the ticketing thread but anyone know how much a face value ticket would have been in the PL lower for the Liverpool game off the top of their head?
