Another stat showing it's been a season of extremes

The issue is the misleading title, the stats are what they are but Trollope was the first name i saw and he never completed a season! A better subject line would not have boiled my piss.

Maybe the poster is a Bulut fan, maybe he is not. I don't know or really care, but I fail to see how you can take this viewpoint from his post.

When I spotted the the OP and the thread title I thought, "here we go, another Bulut bashing stat" but I was wrong.
It was just a bunch of stats not worth posting (IMHO).

Thanks MacAdder, this is one of many multi's i have blocked, glad to see its still valid lol

But it was a season of extremes. 20 wins, 22 defeats is unheard of. To win so many by such a close margin then lose so many so convincingly is almost unheard of.

From November onwards it was virtually one result or another. No grey areas. I doubt we'll see another season of results like it in our lifetimes.

Re: Another stat showing it's been a season of extremes

The only context is playing each other home and away over the course of the season. It's often said that the table is misleading early in the season; maybe it is until the last games have been played.

Even then it just says win, lose, draw, goals scored, goals conceded.

For me there's more interest in looking in more detail. How teams come back from behind or lose from being in front. How often teams fail to score or how often they keep clean sheets. How often they sneak narrow wins or how often they batter teams. When teams are likely to score winning goals.

I can understand that lots aren't interested in stuff like that, but it doesn't give them the right to be rude about it.

It also doesn't reveal the context of the enjoyment people might have gained from watching. It's 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. There's a lot more to football than that. Or at least there should be.
