We need a match thread statistics analysis.
I'd bet that if all match threads were started with less than a week before the game, we'd be top of the table.
Somebody crunch some numbers.
From the Swansea match thread.
OK, I can remember a similar (but better) thread about the same topic from last season, but couldn't find :avbshock:
BUT, I looked through the match threads in the league for this season, with author, date and opponent, and here are the results:
Newcastle Away – made 6 days before by SinghYID = LOSS
WBA Home –6 days before by Kalyl = DRAW
Norwich Home – 7 days before by Wizwardcoys = DRAW
Reading Away – 15 days before by Pyro_era = WIN
QPR Home –4 days before by Thelonius = WIN
Man Utd Away – 5 days before by SadlerTHFC = WIN
Villa Home –2 days before by Thelonius = WIN
Chelsea Home – 12 days before by sammyspurs = LOSS
Southampton Away – 7 days before by SadlerTHFC = WIN
Wigan Home –2 days before by Blanchflower = LOSS
City Away –6 days before by SadlerTHFC = LOSS
Woolwich Away – 15 days before by Paul Shelf = LOSS
West Ham Home – 3 days before by Smolik = WIN
Liverpool Home – 2 days before by Ramsingh = WIN
Fulham Away– 3 days before by Ramsingh = WIN
Everton Away – 6 days before by Josh_spurs = LOSS
WBA Home –6 days before by Kalyl = DRAW
Norwich Home – 7 days before by Wizwardcoys = DRAW
Reading Away – 15 days before by Pyro_era = WIN
QPR Home –4 days before by Thelonius = WIN
Man Utd Away – 5 days before by SadlerTHFC = WIN
Villa Home –2 days before by Thelonius = WIN
Chelsea Home – 12 days before by sammyspurs = LOSS
Southampton Away – 7 days before by SadlerTHFC = WIN
Wigan Home –2 days before by Blanchflower = LOSS
City Away –6 days before by SadlerTHFC = LOSS
Woolwich Away – 15 days before by Paul Shelf = LOSS
West Ham Home – 3 days before by Smolik = WIN
Liverpool Home – 2 days before by Ramsingh = WIN
Fulham Away– 3 days before by Ramsingh = WIN
Everton Away – 6 days before by Josh_spurs = LOSS
Quite shocking really:
4 match threads created 6 days before a match have resulted in 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Match threads created between 2 and 5 days before a match (7 threads in total) have resulted in 6 wins and 1 defeat (against Wigan)
Ramsing has 2 wins of 2.
So, the ideal match thread is, right now, created by Ramsingh 3 days before a match :ade:
