James Milner

[King Binny]

@King Binny do you have the distance covered stats from last night? Seemed like Milner was everywhere.

No luck with the distance covered figures, but heat maps from the match are available here.

James Milner. He's every-fucking-where.I wanted to say "fucking everywhere" but I'm not sure boring Milner actually does that.

That reminds me of a story Franck Leboeuf once told about a section of the home fans at Stamford Bridge who used to sing " He's 'ere, he's there, he's every ******* where, Franck Leboeuf, Franck Leboeuf" when he ran out to play. One day he put a note in the match programme saying thanks for the support but, now that he was bringing his kids to games, could they tone the language down. The next home game after that, as he ran out the same fans sang: "He's 'ere, he's there, we're not allowed to swear, Franck Leboeuf, Franck Leboeuf".

That was straight from a boring James Milner catalogue

It's also made up because Chelsea fans would never sing.

I was happy we signed Milner, but I'm considerably more happy having seen what he brings to the team week after week. He has been excellent.

I think he's a bit boring meself.

That took me back to a time when I didn't hate Chelsea. Please don't do that again, I feel dirty.

Distance covered stats are about as useful as pass completion stats. On their own their pretty useless, it really depends on what you do with all that running or passing.

 

[doctor_mac]

I always used to love the fact that despite the fact that Charlie Adam got such stick for being slightly larger than your average midfielder he consistently topped the stats for furthest distance covered in our team.

Yeah, to the pie van and back
