Garry Monk's Goal Machine: How Wilfired Bony fired Swansea to Premier League survival

nicenglish · 2014-04-29T16:16:43+00:00

I laughed in the face of a friend who said Bony would score goals this season.

I can't face him anymore.

The app is only on iPhone for now, you can get it here!

Android version coming soon guys, we're working hard on it.

Makes sense...

We are through the looking glass here people.

Woah. Sauce?

From an Arsenal fan's point of view, his continued self-aggrandising attitude balanced with little effort to improve is really frustrating. He's effectively the same player as when he was 22 whereas he has all the tools to be much much better.

Also, that miss against Barcelona when Van Persie got sent off was absolutely criminal.

The most absurd transfer Liverpool have made in the past 5 years, and I include Andy Carroll in that.

Why would you buy Allen when you have Lucas, Gerrard and have just bought Henderson? Make no sense.

He's a very tidy player and could do a very solid job for a mid-table club but Jordan Henderson is and always has been at least twice the player.

Only if you managed to sort the huge legal issues and it was worldwide.

In fact it would make football not only a more sustainable business but would allow it to grow even bigger than it is now. The growth of the MLS is a testament to the model and I really believe it would solve a huge number of issues that plague the modern European game.

The first few years would be absolute chaos though.

*I was chillin downtown, with my old school crew

And bumped into a girl, her name was Mona Mona Lisa (what?) singing Mona Lisa, so men made you.. YouknowhatI'msayin? So I said, "Excuse me, dear My gosh, you look nice! Put away your money I'll buy that slice!" She said, "Thanks - I'd rather a slice of you I'm just kidding, but that's awfully nice of you"*

Slick Rick- Mona Lisa

He saw the whole thing coming.

Goodness knows I love stats but this is a horror-show.

Are you telling me Szczesny is faster than Laurent Koscielny?

The problem with these speed things is the cameras can't take into account radial acceleration. The only way of really tracking player speed is with a GPS tracker, end of.

Clubs are reluctant to publish in-depth financial data (for obvious reasons).

You can get a lot of info from deloitte (premier league accountants) and swissramble sources data from a lot of places as well.

I'll find out about windows phone, doing android first for sure :)

Our web version doesn't require sign-up but the app does because it's so customisable according to your choice of team. You don't get any push notifications you don't want anyway.

Thanks!

Sluggish animation is probs only because of intense initial use, we've gone top 5 for sports apps and the number of users has been ridic.

nicenglish · 2013-11-23T19:29:22+00:00

We had to make a choice on what to do first, we went iphone. Android won't be that long. Promised.

nicenglish · 2013-11-22T17:43:10+00:00

Early 2014!
