Some interesting stats in there - Liverpool managing to shit ourselves to 4th without a goal scorer or assist-machine is interesting. I knew de Bruyne had a decent season, but didn't really appreciate that many assists.

[Magic]

9 shots against the woodwork too. That's a fucking pointless stat if ever I saw one.

[Reg]

Fabregas rocking the assists even as a second choice. :cool:

[Offshore Toon]

Harry Kane is such a gimp.

[Yevrah]

The amount of goals Spurs netted really is very impressive.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Kane is the best pure finisher in the league since Shearer (Ruud was more about appearing off people's shoulders like a pikey horse-faced ninja).

[niko_cee]

Beat the shit certainly prevailed as a successful modus operandi this season.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The running theme in those stats is that everyone below about 8th place was absolutely dreadful all season.

[Yevrah]

Yep, the Kane/Boro one was my favourite though.

[Reg]

"11. Harry Kane scored more goals (29) than Middlesbrough (27) from 241 fewer shots (110 versus 351)"

:D

[Giggles]

Kane's best trait is that he just seems to shoot quickly with minimum faff.

[randomlegend]

That Arsenal most headedicated goals state is amazing. Wenger's been there 500 seasons trying to win the league playing 'beautiful' passing football, and has reached the point where all that works amounts to finishing outside the top 4 whilst slinging in crosses.

Edit: what the fucking hell is that autocorrect on 'headed'? :cab:

[phonics]

We've actually had the best/high set piece/headed goals conversion rate for a few years now.

[Pepe]

Giroud. :cool:
