and as i correctly pointed out

they are just a way of analysing data sets

i'm pretty sure companies wouldn't spend billions every year analysing them if they were so useless tho...

- Have you been mis-sold PPG? (n/m) (NCFC) - bird table, Aug 20, 15:16:15
- Can you improve on this though? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 20, 14:53:37
- Oh god why!!! Some many stats in Football now and all bar a few are useless... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 14:52:16
  - Even worse are those who spout them, then say this (NCFC) - pants, Aug 20, 14:56:13
  - and as i correctly pointed out (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 14:55:41
    - here's a stat (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 20, 18:30:11
  - i only asked if we'd improve... (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 14:53:46
    - Yes but it doesn't matter if we win the rest of our home games (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:01:05
      - so you're not fussed if we struggle at the weak teams (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:04:07
        
        We will struggle at some of the weak teams and get beat, (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:07:50
        
        so finally you've answered the question! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:21:16
        
        I also said we would lose too, So actually we may do worse and relegated (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:25:18
        
        bit like wolfie and his 12 touches at the weekend (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 20, 18:26:08
        
        very (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 20, 18:26:18
        
        we'd need to lose 6 not to improve (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:31:00
        
        So we agree we could improve our ppg against any sub set of prem teams (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:40:39
        
        lol i only asked if we'd improve at the struggling teams! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:44:14
        
        relegation is the consequence of playing badly over the season no? (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:47:37
        
        correct (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:59:58

    - vvv redacted vvvv (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Aug 20, 14:52:08
  - Actually I won't - I have a life (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Aug 20, 14:50:37
- How were the ppg away to top half teams? That's more interesting (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 20, 14:49:02
  - 0.8 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 14:52:56
  - and not really very interesting either tbh (NCFC) - CB41, Aug 20, 14:51:31
    - I know. Not one person's menrioned what they had for lunch today. (n/m) (NCFC) - avid_canary, Aug 20, 14:59:34
    - I'd rather beat Chelsea away than Cardiff, away, that's all (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Aug 20, 14:53:47
      - beating cardiff instead would increase our survival chances tho (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 14:57:47
        
        No it wouldn't as we get 3 points a win no matter the opponent (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:04:38
        
        i take it you're joking? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:19:07
        
        but thats taking in to consideration all the other games played in the Prem (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:27:31
        
        someone clearly can't understand what increasing our chances means (NCFC) - SCC 28, Aug 20, 15:32:37
        
        hahaha...did I touch a nerve! (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Aug 20, 15:45:57

        you probably should've stopped typing after the 1st 5 words tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Aug 20, 18:34:55
      - I wouldn't be at either so not that bothered tbh. (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Aug 20, 14:55:09
