      Actually 5 a game as he played 32.

      In theory it doesn't seem that much, but for anyone who checks the Guardian chalkboard regularly sees what actually constitutes as a tackle won knows how few tackles actually qualify.
      If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

        I got in to a disagreement about tackles per match in another thread.

        Believe it or not (I didn't) 4 per game is high.

          From what I picked up, you have to slide in, win the ball and retain possession. Carra could win about 8 great tackles in a game, but if they go out for corners, throws or to another player then it won’t count. It’s a stat they should just get rid of or expand to include tackles won without retaining possession. As it is, it's useless.

            Aw, see I spend all my working life carrying out statistical analysis so try to avoid the more specific elements. In fact the only figures I really pay any attention to are goals and assists. Anything more feels like work.

            Which is a long way of saying I'll take your word for it
            A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

              Good I find it really annoying.
              The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                Can we implement that now please?

                Even better; could you punish retrospectively? Please?

                  Well I got it from the thread that has his goal and assist stats, but appearances (or starts as it was) was as far as I got.

                    Left behind for the Asian tour. According to the Guardian imminent transfer activity expected soon. They quote his original price as £13million, so after his first very god season in the Premiership, Fiorentina and Juventus can stump up £23million or **** off.

                      They can have him for 10.

                        The world has truly gone potty when Henderson costs £16m and people are advocating letting Meireles go for £10m.

                        ****ing lunacy.

                          It's madness getting anything below £13-14 million. And the henderson fee was just silly

                            Is it not time to play hardball like we did with Torres? Set a price, and a ****ing big one at that. He is a very good midfielder, and has proved he can play competently in the most competitive league in the world.

                              We don't need him. I think 10m is about right given our apparent willingness to sell. We haven't got all that long left to make a faIr few deals. Half decent offers for our players surplus to requirements is exactly what we need at the moment. Keep things moving.

                                Henderson is largely for the future, the fee is based on potential. Meireles offers us quality now. He doesn't have to start every week. If true I'll be pretty dismayed to see him on the way out
