[QUOTE=Exile on Spencer St;

Ah, possession! The most meaningless statistic of many meaningless statistics in today’s football world.

totally agree. just something else pointless for the pundits to prattle on about. at the end of the day what matters is shots on target. a couple of years ago burnley were masters of winning games with far less of the ball than the opposition. if you are going to have possession statistics lets have em for the time spent in the opposition half where the game is actually won and not include the ten pass crossfield move on the enge of your own penalty area.
