Saturdays 3:00 Kick-Off's (Scores)

MrJoeSoap · 26-02-2005 3:30pm #1

Roughly half an hour gone:

Villa 0-1 Everton (Osman)
Palace 0-0 Brum
Spurs 0-0 Fulham

Not the busiest Saturday but each of the games are important to the respective teams, with Everton, Spurs, and Villa chasing Europe (arguably Birmingham too) and Palace scrapping to stay in the division.

I would love to say that Fulham are chasing Europe, but I can't see it happening in the 13 matches left.

MrJoeSoap · 26-02-2005 3:48pm

Yeah I actually had them written down there til I checked the table again, top half finish isnt out of their grasp though.

1-0 Palace by the way, Andy Johnson with ANOTHER penalty. I'm not counting but they must have the most penalties in the league this season.

MrJoeSoap · 26-02-2005 3:53pm

OK so I actually went and checked, thats their 8th penalty of the season, with Portsmouth being closest on 5. Boro, West Brom, Charlton and Villa all have yet to get 1.

Interesting.

Just finished wtaching Villa - Everton

Appauling Villa performance.

1-3

Guy:Incognito · 26-02-2005 4:54pm

2-0 spurs, Keane walked in a goal.

Palace look to have won. They open up a 4 point gap to southampton now. Not looking good for the bottom 3. Palace have won twice many games as any of th eother 3 at the bottom.

I can't understand why people seem so keen (heh) to write off Keane's contribution to Spurs. He's a proven and consistant goalscorer, certainly more so than a player like Kanoute. Is that 13 goals now he's gotten, that's decent tally considering he doesn't play as often as most strikers.

Keane is the 10th highest scorer (in all competitions) in the premiership this season with 13 (not including Camara, Blake and Ashton). Plus he has 4 international goals. Not bad.

Considering that A) He's not an out and out goal scorer,

He hasn't played every game this season (Though does start more than he doesn't when fit) and C) He has been played out of position a few times this season, that's a fantastic goals return. Yet people still seem to think he's been rubbish this season for some reason

eirebhoy · 26-02-2005 9:51pm

Keane actually has 13 goals this season, 6 assists. He didn't start in 9 of Spurs' league matches this season.

A few more stats from Opta that will suprise people.
He has a 42% goals per shots rate.
He is the 5th highest passer of the ball at the club with 614 and a 76% pass success rate (remember he didn't start a lot of matches).
He is the 4th highest crosser of the ball at Spurs with 53.
