Fucking stats. We're drowning in them these days. Does anyone of a certain age (i.e. most of us on here) remember any of this kind of shit back in the day? The football was just as good and I reckon the craic was better. Too much tech I tell you. I can't techno satisfaction. Quite a few millennials on here Hubs! |

Millennial is the more widely adopted term, but AKA Generation Y.
Most on here I'd say are Baby Boomers and Generation X.
Couple from the "Silent Generation" too which are born roughly between 1928 and 1945.

I'm 32 (clinging on, 33 this month lol) - so yea am a Millennial. Not sure I subscribe to too many of the stereotypical traits attached to though (whether that's good or bad lol). Example being I find the vast majority of stats used in football a nonsense. xG? Bore off.

I remember when ITVs Big Match and MOTD had a lot more footage of the game and a lot less stats. i preferred it tbh.
I skip through the analysis now if I have recorded MOD.

Me too mate. Just show more of the actual match FFS. Listening to the likes of Jermaine Jenas droning on and on and on about some totally uninteresting tactical drivel is enough to make anyone want to slit their wrists. Same with commentators. Just get rid of them and leave the crowd noise on.

I think the definition of a millennial is someone who reached adulthood around the millennium, right?
I was born 1982, so I guess I'm a millennial.

Not quite 1975-76 standard, but right up there with one of our best ever sides. |
