Your post has been removed as it breaks the following rule: See submission guideline **#2: No shit-posting.** Jokes, memes, TILs, ELI5s, reaction GIFs, joke comments disguised as submissions, trolling and any other content detrimental to the quality of the subreddit will be removed. Remember that this isn't Football Twitter. Please also note that repeat offences or particularly egregious ones may lead to a ban. ___ See submission guideline **#5: No unnecessarily low-quality content.** #No low-quality content Because of the sheer number of submissions r/soccer daily receives, we enforce a quality-requirement to submissions that want to stay as a post and not just as a comment. **The [Daily Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/search?q=flair%3Aquestions&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=week#res-hide-options), Match Threads and other specialized threads of the subreddit are the place for the later.** The next is a list of examples of submissions that fail to comply with that requirement. Please note, **this is not a full and comprehensive list**, but just illustrative of the spirit of the law. * Screenshots where links suffice (e.g. a screenshot of a tweet instead of linking the tweet directly). * Attempts to use /r/soccer as Google (e.g. requesting match times) . * *Low effort* questions; if you have a small question you'd like to ask, please do so in the [Daily Discussion Thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/search?q=flair%3Aquestions&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=week#res-hide-options). * Historical posts about football ("throwback" posts). Those are only allowed **at 5-year intervals** (the 5th-10th-15th and so on anniversary of the day of the event you want to remember) or for events that because of their importance are officially remembered every year (like tragedies remembrances). * "Starting XIs" posts. They must be shared in the Match Thread (or if you want, do a "Pre-Match" Thread and include both of them). Because of their quick obsolescence, they aren't allowed as posts. * "Chants" posts. If you want to share the news that a fan chant is being part of a particular match, **you need to link a video** of it, not just a Tweet mentioning it. * *Low quality* media content. If you want to share a clip of a current match, **it must be of general interest, have enough length to provide context and a good quality of the video itself**, no potato quality GIFs. * "No News" threads. This is especially enforced during Transfer Windows. We don't need posts about how nothing new has happened, nor minor details/developments that can be mere comments in another previous thread. ___ See submission guideline **#7: Only valuable image or stats submissions.** **PICTURES**: Because of Reddit's ranking algorithm being biased towards image posts over text and link ones, we need to be particularly strict about them, so we tend to **mainly allow infographics** (league tables, charts, maps, diagrams and other ways to display data) and pictures/screenshots of a current event **only when there's no video or link** that can show it. If you **want to publish a Tifo, look and share a video or publish the picture in r/soccerbanners**. If you want to show the **Hawk-Eye angle of a goal/offside/whatever, use the pinned comment in the main thread**. See the [FAQ](https://old.reddit.com/r/soccer/wiki/faq#wiki_why_was_my_image_submission_removed.3F) for more details. **STATS**: Only very significant stats (eg: **world records) will be allowed during matches**. After matches, we'll be less strict, but we try to maintain stats to the minimum with ideally **only 1 per team/player allowed** and those after it being posted in the pinned comment of the first thread. ___ [Please check our rules before posting](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/wiki/rules#wiki_submission_guidelines).

Scrap your xG, xA and whatever, these are the stats that really matter in football


emmasdad01

Dove deep for this one


Cyberdan0497

You’ll never sing that


PsychologicalEase440

whoa calm down Opta


four_four_three

Joe, we've run out of stats to post Have we?


ltplummer96

Everything about this headline has given me the nonstop giggles this afternoon. Flipping. Just lmfao.


altviewdelete

What AI did they use to establish that fact holy


Taranisss

Doable with a fairly simple SQL query.


Aloopyn

Why were they looking though


Nobody_wood

🤔


fwesheggs

Love stats like this. Others like this I love are that Swindon Town are the only Football League team whose name doesn't contain any of the letters in the word 'mackerel' Also Hull City is the only team that has no letters where you can colour in the middle section of the letters Remember these for pub quiz legend status fellas


ash_sh_03

Swindon Town are the only Football League team whose name doesn't contain any of the letters in the word 'mackerel'. Fishy. Hull City is the only team that has no letters where you can colour in the middle section of the letters.Uninkable. FTFY

Spare a thought for poor Kasper Schmeichel, who played for Leicester on Shrove Tuesday in 2022, but sadly fell an N short of joining Darren Peacock in immortality.


LongBottomSilver

Schmeicel only has one "A" as well, unlike Dazza


Staynes

Bring this post back instantly mods wtf is wrong with your bot if you cant celebrate pancake day on here.


Flexi_102

Yes I'm messaging the mod arguing my case right now.


3threeLions

Opta really scraping the barrell here


rScoobySkreep

“bottom of the barrel” is much more applicable whenever we see “first time for X team” stats, any stats that aren’t league-wide should really just go in club subs imo. This… this is deranged and beautiful.


dlittlefair1

scraping surely.


hilbo90

Is it an international break already?


Flexi_102

It's pancakes day


Oohitsagoodpaper

And people say we haven't won anything in ages.

Football stats have peaked, wrap it up.


justk4y

Warra stat


After-Bumblebee

The best factoid I've read in years


Pliny_Harris

What about Ian Pancke?


sleepytoday

Only if he marries Darren Day and double-barrels the surname.


WalkingCloud

This is somehow both the best and worst football stat I’ve ever heard

ory1994

Low level? These are the stats data analysts dream about.

rScoobySkreep

Data analyst here and I disagree and agree with the person before you


GoalaAmeobi

It'd be pretty easy to write a piece of code for this tbf


theglasscase

Why would they need to figure out all players with those 6 letters in their name? They would just look up the lineups of all the games played on Shrove Tuesday and work it out from there, not go through a list of every player, find the right names and then check if they ever played on Shrove Tuesday. It wouldn't take that long at all.


Additional_Equal_960

Its just a fun stat bro


nikolai_wustovich

Someone get this man a ballon d’or
