And what do you mean I'm doing it again?

For clarity what the model actually says (which is quite different to your interpretation) is this:

An average team concedes fewer than Leeds' 31 open play goals based on the chances faced of 890 per 1,000 trials.

Exactly

So 89% of sides conceded fewer than Leeds in the trial.

Hence we conceded more than 89%.

FFS, That’s not what the model says.

Seriously, stay away from statistics, it’s not your bag.

An average team concedes fewer goals than leeds 89% of the time.

We concede more than the average team 89% of the time.

If 1000 average teams conceded the same chances we had they would have conceded less goals 89% of the time.

How many ways do you want me to explain this to you?

What is it you think it's saying?

Get yourself a copy and read it before you make these stupid interpretations of statistics again.

I’ve already answered that, you just didn’t understand it.

Seriously, try reading what is written and on stars, go buy the book and read it.

You’re wrong

Are you actually a real person?

Not sure why you are arguing with someone that is saying the same thing as you.

You have resorted to insults.

Because I assume you know you look silly.

You can't explain what you think is the difference between what I am saying and what the statistic shows.

You constantly go on about how important integrity is to you. But you are the person with the least integrity on here. Integrity is not important to you, being right at all costs is. And your definition of right and wrong is not relevant to the real world. In your head it's based on how long you can say black is white for. And let's be honest you will claim black is white forever.

There’s a great saying that I’m reminded of when I see you go on like this and why I choose not to engage further after it’s clear all the answers are in from of you but you choose not to understand them or are unable to understand them:

Don’t argue with an idiot as they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

So, I’m not going to argue with you further, simples.

Jonty you insult me.

You avoid the discussion now because you know you are wrong.

Stop being hypocritical. One rule for you a different for everyone else

I think regardless of if you see as a negligible difference, there are many other aspects to it.

it was clear to most that BPF was a bit of a weak link, and it was right he went to number 2,

At the time when you sign an experienced goal keeper from Real Madrid, to come in as a number 1, its seen as a good move.

hindsight is a wonderful thing, its all too easy to be wise after the event.

there were no complaints from anybody at the time.

Not true, many did not see the need to replace BPF at the time and expressed that.

Spanish, I argued the young lad should have kept his place, and looking at the way things have gone he played twice as many games and let half as many goals in!..

I said the other day if he'd been given till the end off season he'd have more than likely let less goals in, which means he just might have saved those few points we were missing to keep us out off that diabolical game that his replacement helped us lose!..

i was one. if we were getting a known keeper maybe someone with championship experience it would be different. all i knew about him was that he was a backup for real that hardly played. it wasn't what i was looking for but management must have seen something. at least i hope they did.

Sentiment from most was that we were getting s top keeper.

A couple of us weren’t so convinced.

Agree that it was debated, I must admit the feelings I had was BPF just wasn’t good enough.. though I concede that in hindsight, kiko wasn’t the right one

I have to say even now.. I do hope we can keep BPF as a number 2, and I’d actually still be ok with kiko as number 1.. maybe let them fight for the place... just an opinion 😀

I think it was a big mistake to bring in keeper who didn’t speak English mid season, especially s 3rd choice one.

Obviously benefit of hindsight with that but hope lessons learnt for future.

You see, I was speaking about that in the gym tonight.. communication is key in the position... but I can’t believe that a defender does know when a keeper says ‘it’s mine’.. or whatever.. plus in football there’s all sorts of language barrier.. MB himself doesn’t speak English

It’s an obvious problem I agree, just not sure it SHOULD be a problem
