No, he is just very "one-eyed". People call him a wum or whatever, but he is just incredibly biased. Not surprising, considering his infatuation with United. He must study and remember every game... mental.

trying to stoke the fire on lamps goals thread

You príck - trying to get he whole of your board against me

they pegged you for a wum before i said anything

Yeah, and you're now trying to get me a reputation!

if anything i was protecting you from being called a wum....

Protecting me Protecting me?!?

Stoking the fire is protecting me??

pretty much. oh and i've realised that the reason we have so many posters on the Chelsea board but not that much traffic is because of Obers Haven

Yeah, I hate the record threads and stuff like that. You basically just have a "chat room". We used to have a pub thread on the Utd board but it dies, because I think everyone realised that the board is better with more posters floating around instead of just in one place.

tbf Robben this is quickly becoming a chat room for just us. Did TOOR say he was on hols or something?

we need at least two of the others to be active for the stats thread

Ha, I did think that whilst I was typing

Nah, Toor has just got back from hols and Shinji has just gone.

well i think TOOR has been on this morning anyway, maestro or JSPC can be alerted if their around

Yeah, Toor was about earlier but seems to have gone now. Haven't seen Maestro or JSPC this morning though.

is your board in geniune meltdown mode atm?

Yes

To be fair, actually no. Most are being rational and bemoaning the defending and the way we never recovered after the penalty decision. As I said to you this morning, we don't expect to win any more so it's not a great shock. If this had happened during SAF's reign though, I would expect it to be very bad.

it does appear to have destroyed the upswing from deadline day and the qpr result though

Like a fecking yoyo... same as last season!!

Di Maria looked very good on the plus side. Dont know why he was taken off

Yep, again I've said this morning that after he went off that was it for us. Not sure if LVG is easing him in to get him up to match fitness, as he has suffered cramp in both games previously. Potentially, LVG didn't want to take off RvP which I really hope isn't a sign for the future...

i fully expected Van Gaal to blow a gasket of the ref's performance after the match. Credit to him that he didnt

btw what was the guys argument for the stat being a rate and not a ratio?

A ratio is where you compare two amounts - i.e ratio of apples to oranges can be 2:3. But you can't have a goals to minute "ratio" as you can't compare minutes with goals. It is a "rate".

I thought it was perfectly legitimate to be honest, but turns out he was right:

you can have a goals to match ratio then?

No, again that is a rate. Click the link above and you'll see what I mean.
