Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - It's Amad World

Listened to it one more time. Still basura. Drake can't be the only internet/new rapper to make it surely? The defining feature of rappers these days is impermanence. Drake has surprisingly made it to one solid mixtape + three albums, and is sorta running out of steam. I thought Kendrick would be an artist that would have some longevity but the indications are not good...:avbehh:

Of course these are early days, his album may still be great.

On another note, I was listening to Hello Brooklyn, then listened to that weird Jay-Z Lil Wayne version and that reminded me of Let The Beat Build. That's a pretty good song.

Listen to @horse. kills , he's a vet in the TEFL biz

Teach in the Far East? There are mad videos of brehs teaching out there on youtube which may interest you, even one of our own @KOTK can give you some advice if you ask nicely (although we hardly see him any more since he started getting some of that sideways ).

I get about £1500 a month in shanghai, but i work weekends which sucks diiiiiick. Can save about 600 a month though. Gonna try and push for a little more over the next few maybe, tryna go Colombia(not to teach) then Canada (if I can get the visa.) I don't really have saving because I lost about £3k on visa fukkeries when I came out and dropped about £3k on my vacation, actually about to western union my visa off later today. I can't speak much at all on anything outside Shanghai, but personally knowing what I know now, if I were to come here I would get a dodgy business visa rather than rely on getting a work visa, and wait it out till I could get one of the rare ridic jobs which I hear the rare person getting with less bullshyt office hours, less/no weekends and equal/better pay. I'd hate doing what a lot of my mates were, 12-8ish three non consecutive weekdays then 9-6 sat-sun. Least mine starts at 4 weekdays and they're consecutive.

From what I'd read about Colombia teaching there sounded a 'mare because of the split shifts and generally low pay, but did see a guy who lives there on an f365 thread saying he saves £600-£7000 teaching there 10 months a year. Also a Brazilian lad was telling me I could make bank in Sao Paolo but I can't remember the names of the companies he mentioned, so yeah, um, look into that I

Don't you get tired of teaching though? I've been doing it for almost a decade now and i'm sick of it. I've been getting alot of gigs doing simultaneous and consecutive translations with mining companies, now those pays but there arent enough events, hopefully one od them hires the kid so i could get out of town, translated for a scottish thang the other day..my god...

What Are The Most Successful Formations In The Premier League?

Soccer formations are hard to pin down. They come in and out of fashion almost seasonally; their success will largely rest on which top teams adopt or abandon them; and there are an infinite number of permutations of each. All that said, why not poke our heads in on a broad survey of how various formations have performed in the EPL?

The numbers below are from a post on Bloomberg's Stats Insights blog from last week. It tracked the instances of each formation being used—note the fall of the 4-4-2 and the rise of the 4-2-3-1—and then tracked the results of each match. We've added a scrollable table with the number of uses and average result side-by-side at the bottom of the post, so you can easily cross-reference how many games the average points number is representing, but it's a little hard to read. Here's Stats Insights's table for appearances:


These tables come with the usual qualifiers about formation. Arsenal has been playing a 4-1-4-1 this year, for instance, which on the surface should boost that formation's performance. But the Gunners' personnel hasn't taken to it, with Mikel Arteta or Mathieu Flamini miscast as defensive midfielders. Meanwhile, Chelsea is drifting between a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1, depending largely on the strength of its opponents, which obviously shades the results for both of those formations. And United has already dropped its three-man back line, dinging the performance on those formations without chance of recovery.

Anyway, the best result in the past five years for a formation that had at least 20 games started (just over half of a Premier League season), was the diamond midfield 4-1-2-1-2 in 2009-10, with an average of 1.88 points in 33 games. Last season, the 4-4-2 actually out-performed the 4-2-3-1, 1.58 points to 1.55 on average, stopping the bleeding after three years of decline.
