because you're one of these nerds intent on removing the narrative & joy from football.

I remember when people would just watch the game, decide who was decent and who wasn't.

Nowdays there's utter bores such as yourself regurgitating s**te from Opta and Squawka, facts posing as opinions. Guess what - stats mean f**k all.

Howson had a fantastic game. Some sad bastard researching his percentage of forward passes doesn't change that.
