I sing that in my head every time I hear his name (thanks to the Men in Blazers podcast - which everyone should be listening to, btw).

That ole man friedel
That ole man friedel
He's good at shot stopping
And good at shot blocking
But just won't come off his line

My version

Needed to concentrate a lot to get through that I see a bit of bias in his ratings, but an interesting read.

I like that he pretty much admits that and asks for input since he's just starting to come up with how to calculate these stats. Just glad someone's doing it in our sport.

Hear harry on talkshite yesterday saying he has to ensure Benny and Barton are on the same teams for 5 a sides. Benny apparently has a very short fuse and is also pretty tough!

And Barton now understands what Benny is calling him...

Personally i think BAE is a better LB compared to Rose......but i think Rose will improve leaps and bounds this season. He might even be in consideration for the England squad at WC 2014, if England qualifies eventually.

Why i think Rose will improve? If you see last season, the LB was intermittently the position of Naughton, Vert and BAE. This was due mainly to BAE injuries and his unavailability. Naughton was the emergency LB for many games. AVB played Vert there at times due both to tactical and BAE's form (or lack of it) after coming back from injuries. Whereas, Walker has most of the RB position his, even though some games he played atrociously. Due to this, Personally i feel, AVB will not change much for LB position this season unless, it is very much a tactical issue that needs to be addressed urgently and to give Rose a rest.

If both Rose and Walker are given a steady run of games, in 2 years, i believe Rose will be a better fullback than Walker will be. Rose have better focus throughout the game, while Walker has the usual one nightmare every other game. Technically Rose is a better player than Walker. On top of that Rose has a more natural game going forward as he was a Winger. But anyway, im going to get behind them both and hope both improve over time and be a top 1-2 in their position in BPL for years to come. COYS!!!

Whilst Rose was indeed terrible against espanyol he has got better and I hope this improvement continues. But it would take a hell of a left back to replace Ashley Cole let alone Leighton Baines.

      Rose was about as useful as a teapot made out of fudge. BAE must have run over AVB's cat with his Smart car to be ousted like that.

Saw that this morning and nearly spat my coffee out when the music kicked in. Very funny, the look on his face
