Heard this on the totally football show and it was something I never knew before.
I always thought possession stats were calculated by the amount of time a team spends on the ball/has it in their possession.
Whereas the truth is that possession stats are calculated based on the amount of completed passes/the total passes in a game
Every day is a school day
Interesting Fact

Used to be a big The Tottenham Way fan before they folded
Also recommend the Barcelona Legacy podcasts and The Mixer podcasts. Really good.

Is The Mixer a Cox production?

I'll give them a listen then, cheers.
Yeah Mixer is Michael Cox, who is a tad pretentious but I reckon the best journalist/podcaster out there.

I like Cox to be fair. Didn't realise he had one, will get it.
I listen to so many these days, hard to keep up with them. I will cull Marcotti I think

. Delaney is hilarious.
One non-football one I would highly recommend is the Blindboy podcast. He is one half of The Rubberbandits, a Limerick comedy duo best known for wearing plastic bags on their face and their funny songs.
I think the Podcast was born to promote his book of short stories (he reads a few early doors, but I tend to skip them). Very clever guy, talks at length about all sorts.
