Why does Kieran always know these stats? 08:23 - Aug 9 with 762 views | Chris_ITFC | Just something I’ve noticed; it’s not a criticism or conspiracy theory, (although it can sound a little excuse-y), but routinely in interviews last season: “9 of this team are making their Premier League debuts for us.” “6 of this team started in League One for us.” And it was back last night: “2 of this team started the first game last season.” He (or someone) must have to look it up each week, yet it serves no real purpose I can see. I love that attention to detail, anyway. Speculative answers on a postcard! |  |

So maybe more part of his ‘media pack’ than his ‘analyst pack’… “Kieran, if we want to explain to the media / fans that we’ve had a lot of turbulence, you could say x” |  |

Why does Kieran always know these stats? on 10:06 - Aug 9 with 269 views | ArnoldMoorhen | That isn't a difficult stat for him to work out off the top of his head, but he just knows this stuff. By all accounts he eats, sleeps and breathes football data, so it's a bit like asking Paul Sinha what the US State capitals are. |  | |  |
