There is one particular statistic that does not count at all in football in as far as results are concerned. And that is the shit called ball possession.
Number of goals scored / conceded - yes
Number of away goals - yes
Head to head performance - yes
Points taken - yes
Goal difference - yes
tik taka / taka taka / possession / complete passes done - that is bullshit
I say Mourinho park the bus, a double decker one, score 1 goal, concede none! Let atletico keep the ball 95% of the time. Now tell me who progresses??
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.
