Math not your strong point is it Buttplug

 

Jermain Defoe reaches 10 PL goals for the 10th season, 15 years after he did so for the 1st time, for West Ham in 2001-02

I've never really rated him but that deserves

 

He scored a good one against us at the Lame when we done them 4-2 when they had our old tea boy as manager.

 

¿Qué?

 

Erm.... the stats I printed are true and were merely an example of the absolute unfairness of the difference between the haves and the haven't's using Man U in two different seasons as merely an example .
I've already stated in post # 32... that the top wages payed by a team , or the 2nd top wages or the 3 top wages in the past 20 seasons , before Leicester's win , won all 20 titles .
Paying big wages is two fold . It not only allows the top few teams to get the best players , but more importantly it allows them to hold onto those players .

 

I really wanted us to sign him back when he was a young lad at West Ham. Cracking player imo that deserved more chances at bigger clubs.

 

Errrm... I never said it was incorrect. But your singling out of United seems to imply that their league titles were based on them spending double on wages. My post simply brought some balance by showing that at at least 3 other other teams spent double also, in each of those two seasons. And in fact in 2013, City spent considerably more.

Why did you just pick 1994 and 2013 when United won it, when you could've picked a whole host of seasons (Arsenal, Chelsea, City) if you wanted to make the broader point about spending double the average wages?

 

He was always poor at converting his chances imo, especially when he was at West Ham. He has a habit of hitting it straight at the keeper.

 

He often opts for power. He was basically younger version of Djibril Cisse. However, because he was younger he had time in his side to be trained to shoot properly

 

I was simply trying to find the one greed team that had the biggest spread between title wins , of all the top greed teams , to enhance my point that no matter how much the difference in wages put out in the two different title win years ( a decade apart ), they still paid over twice the wages of the average Premier team at either time . Like I say , post #32 already admitted to 3 or 4 greed teams winning titles by big wages , obviously treble your team gives off the biggest odor of guilt to " Store Bought Titles " ... Happy New Year buddy

 

Thanks for that Roofer

 

99% of the time , if you put a bullet in a furnace , it will explode ... how's that for a stat ....

 

Cheeky ****.

In a title winning season ,using the first 11 players for the first game and counting changes for every game after that ...Fergie used 270 changes over a 38 game schedule ...an average of about 7 changes a game
