A Beard Santa Would Be Proud Of & A Bumper Edition

Indian Super League 1 to 25

Afternoon. Hope you remembered to change your clocks over the weekend. If not, you’re probably still fuming about the bollocking you got off your gaffer this morning, nevertheless, that’s why I’m here. It’s that time of the week. 1-25.

As promised, we have a special season edition where we chuck 1-25 out the window and delve into 1-100! If you recall the maiden 1-25, my aim was to do 1-100 for every weekend but believe me, after the amount of time it took to do this, it would’ve been a complete non-starter.

For those that don’t know, it’s a number-based stat around each number; normally it’s 1-25, this time it’s 1-100. Strap yourselves in as we look at all the numbers to do with the fourth ISL. It’s going to be emotional. Let’s not faff around anymore, it’s time for some action!! Come on!

Bloody hell. There you have it. 100 stats for your perusal. I’ll be honest, I was meant to do a reserve round-up as well for today but this has taken it out of me so that’ll have to make an appearance tomorrow. That is of course if I recover from doing this which is still something worth speculating over.

Nonetheless, twas much fun. Still not too sure whether the stats will be as readily available on the Super Cup moving forward. Never mind, we’ll see next week! See you tomorrow.

Until the next time.
