"The only two industries that call their customers users is Drugs & Social Media" not the exact quote but close enough.
watched that over the weekend James, quite pleasantly surprised that it was actually the missus that wanted to watch it.. she has gone up a notch in my estimation
watched documentary on Paul Gascoinge last night, total genius of a footballer, didn’t know he lost a couple of close friends, one at quite an early age, would have loved for him to play for United, and to think I think he would’ve done had his sister not wanted a frigging sunbed
For some reason I haven't yet watched the Gascoigne documentary, even though I'm sure I've thought about watching it. Maybe one for tonight
juggling between “Dark Tourist” & “Luther” at the moment, chuffed to bits that we got a smart TV, cancelled Sky yonks ago, don’t really even miss the football now

Came across 'Moneyball' the other night, my attention spiked when Jonah Hill's character started touting his method for using stats to find under valued players rather than relying on old school scouts.
Thought I'd share in case others would enjoy as much as I did.

I read an article a while back which talked about the bias in the book and how things were construed to construct a compelling narrative. Interesting stuff and as always a useful exercise to get beyond the headlines.
Actually, us Liverpool fans are pretty familiar with Moneyball ever since FSG took over the club 10 years ago, they tried a carbon copy of that approach and were ridiculed after it failed spectacularly, with the likes of Steward Downing going something like a whole season without a single goal or assist (from memory). Basically, only Jordan Henderson survived from those Moneyball signings, it was almost hilarious when they tried to use those numbers to supply Andy Carroll from all sides of the pitch, with Downing crosses and Charlie Adam from set pieces etc.
Never studied this in depth but the sabermetrics model was since improved when Klopp took over, and that new improved recruitment policy is what other clubs are most interested in when they keep repeating how they want to follow the Liverpool model. Chelsea in particular is trying out something very similar over the last couple of transfer windows.
It's also been reported just days ago that Billy Beane is looking to invest in Liverpool and work closer with the club on improving that further, and I'll be absolutely buzzing if he does come.
But yeah, it's definitely interesting how a revolutionary concept from baseball made its way into football.

Interesting story on BBC news this morning re the Kazakhs (?) taking huge offence at Borat in the past but now they have adopted the "Very Nice" quote as a slogan for the tourist board
