Tremendous analysis - I love a bit of non-causal mixing and matching but can't help thinking you have far too much time on your hands Chico!!

How depressing (but not surprising) that we've only won more than half our matches in the top divison once in the last 30 years! Also makes you realise that Andy Greg's team had so much potential that was literally p!$$ed away

The worrying this is that we only win the Challenge Cup when were are under National Government.

So what we need is for Labour to join the Con-Dem coalition to form a New National Government and we're off to Wembley.

See he effect top class imports had on the club's win percentage between 1985–1989. Also notice how the 1987–88 season doesn't look too bad when compared with the rest of the seasons on the bar chart, yet we only assured our place in the top flight on the last day of the season.

Did you really have to do that chico? It just highlights how sH*t we actually are

You are Peter Snow and I claim my £5.

Crackin' stuff Chico. Love it!

mate can i nick it for a session on data presentation at the college next week?

The above results show that under Labour between 1997 and 2010, Salford won 29.1% of their games; under the Conservatives, 36.1%.

However, the 95% confidence intervals for percentage wins are:
Labour 24.01% to 34.27%
Conservative 30.67% to 41.51%

As the confidence intervals overlap, we cannot say with statistical certainty that there is a difference in the performance of Salford under the last Labour administration and their performance under the Conservatives.

This only goes to show that there is no difference at all between the policies of New Labour and those of the Conservatives.

Under a 'Con-LibDem' coalition government...
