Back on the pitch, it's Norwich tonigh...Although would be nice if other clubs and newspapers stopped referring to QPR's great wealth - because it's certainly not apparent how the money of QPR's wealthy owners makes QPR rich.

For me the initial raison d'etre behind collecting and analysing football statistics was to help my football betting. I reasoned that shot statistics would be especially useful in identifying which teams had been unlucky and therefore underestimated by the oddsmakers. As time went on I became more interested in what the data revealed about teams, players and strategies, rather than using it as a predictive tool. Click to continue reading...

Best of luck to former Saints manager Paul Sturrock. Sturrock, who is currently in his 2nd stint as manager for Plymouth (div 2; Championship), was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This shouldn't affect his duties, at least not for awhile. He was only in charge at Southampton for a few months but he's not a bad manager. Click to continue reading...

Skysports - No regrets for Ollie
Ollie reflects on life at Leicester, Plymouth and QPR

When Ian Holloway moved from Plymouth to Leicester last season, many people were surprised by his decision.

Last November, Argyle looked like contenders for a place in the Championship play-offs and Holloway was seen as a hero around the town, while Leicester were scrapping it out at the wrong end of the table and had been through three full-time managers in less than a year.

Tottenham starlet Tomas Pekhart is wanted by Southampton and Plymouth on loan. The 19-year-old striker is tipped for a bright future at White Hart Lane.

It's been a decent start to Wolves' season, after coming from behind twice to draw with Plymouth, and then going a goal down to Sheffield Wednesday before running out 4-1 winners. It's clear that goalscoring isn't proving too much of a problem for Mick McCarthy's men, although they're not proving ... Click to continue reading...

I'm very proud to announce that we are a team that can now string together 2 wins in a row! The first time for 16 months!

We beat Stockport 1 - 0 Tuesday night in the League Cup. On Saturday we play ... er ... Stockport again in the League. At their gaff this time.

And good old Luton beat Plymouth 2 - 0 in the same competition. Click to continue reading...

Readers have picked Everton as the team they'd most like to follow in the Netminder blog this season. We'll assume last night's preseason loss to Chicago didn't deter anyone.

The final vote:

Everton 35%
Aston Villa 17%
Fulham 17%
Nottingham Forest 10%
Other 10%
Hull 9%
Plymouth Argyle 2%
Reading 1%

But we'll aim to please as many voters as possible.

"Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man" I doubt if Friedrich Nietzsche had Charlton in mind when he wrote those words, but it seemed very apt at 5.00pm on Saturday when the win at Plymouth was, finally, confirmed.

The Daily Mail reports that at least the Frenchman can finally start [. Click to continue reading...

I got to listen to the Saints game yesterday morning. Unfortunately I didn't listen closely since I was dealing with work stuff (I was on-call) and then dozed off at some point in the 2nd half. I was happy that they had won 2-0. But they were at home and Leicester had only won 1 of their previous 10 games. Click to continue reading...

Square Football has a nice post about Hull and Plymouth. They're the 2 largest cities in England to never have a team in England's Premiership. If the season were to end today, which it is far from with 17 games remaining, Sturrock's Plymouth would be in the play-offs. Hull would miss out by a point. Click to continue reading...
