Let’s move on now to check out how Andre Marriner performs against selected teams in the EPL:
OK – there’s a few zero-point intersects that make this graph slightly un-intuitive to read i.e. in the 2006/2007 season for Arsenal, Chelsea and Wigan, the 2007/2008 season for Manchester United and the 2011/2012 season for Manchester City – these are because Andre Marriner didn’t have any games for these clubs in those seasons.
Given that – the standout performers are Manchester United. Wigan do OK but they are on a bit of a downer for the last few seasons. Arsenal have always had a good points return from Andre but we have seen a dip in performance from 2008/2009 to 2009/2010 – this season and last season, however, we have shown a solid over performance (in no small part due to the 7-1 drubbing of Blackburn Rovers and 3-5 win over Chelsea).
The Predictortron gives Arsenal a 3.641026 goal advantage… although I have a feeling that Wigan might try to frustrate us and see out a draw – if the bus is parked we will need a direct approach and an early goal or two to break their spirit and see out a valuable 3 points – we should get them I reckon.
