It's based on an analysis by Creosote

showing that Earnie's goals hardly ever made a difference, ie were the crucial goals

I thought it was bollocks then and I think it's bollocks now. Like Earnie is supposed to say "right f**k it, it's 2-0 to the oppo, it won't make any difference if I score, I'm going to go and sit down for the rest of the game and have a nice cup of tea". Or say the same if we've gone 2-0 up with other players scoring - "Right, that's it, I'm stopping now, boss can I come off?"

Or like it was Earnie's fault that when he scored a goal or two, whichever clowns we had in defence would let a couple of goals so we lost.

All bollocks
