    totally agree.

    Could it be that the team that has least possession, (however that is assessed) is the team that usually wins?

    we could have a game of head tennis and not let opposition have a touch - not gonna win you games though is it.

    Id like to see stats more to the tune of yards gained like in american footy (that would be interesting with our sideways and backwards balls) and also things like crosses into box, times got in behind, balls through defence. Im pretty sure they would be pretty **** for us. Oh and the al important one - goals. That one wasn't very good today was it.

    Should change it to meaningful possession. I.e. %. Of possession that actually led to something worthwhile
