Can't argue with the facts.

On a different note, out of curiosity, I checked Man City's stats yesterday (as they are obviously a team that likes to play possession football). They made 466 passes in their home win, with 84.1% accuracy and 31 touches inside the opposition box. We made 703 passes with 92.3% accuracy and 51 touches inside the oppostion box. Obviously not like for like, but an interesting comparison all the same.

It's not about whether there was an attempted hand hit or not, Slattery's were embarrassing, unnecessary and took some attention away from an excellent footballing performance. There was no excuse for it, and JBA obviously felt the same.

Ross McCormack joining the list of ex-Motherwell players on Sportscene. Tipping us to break into the top 3 like a proper 'Well fan. If we'd been taking 10% of all his future transfer fees we'd have been quids in. He must still have the record in fees for a player we sold on. 11 million to Fulham, 12 million to Aston Villa.

The fastest I've seen Liam Gordon run is when he came over to congratulate Eythor.

I also don't think we'll win the league, but we haven't played ourselves out of it yet, which is pleasing.

If Sir Alex buys a ticket for this one, we know he was impressed today.

For a team that couldn't score and gave away soft goals at the start of the season, it's even more impressive. 12 clean sheets from our last 15 league games.

While everyone was excellent, Just for me was the main man. His runs today destroyed their midfield and defence, and his goal started the demolition.

Never going to happen.

18 - 0.

Every week there are new stats that surprise me, even though I'm watching every game: St Mirren had kept a clean sheet in four of their latest five games, but the roof well and truly fell in tonight. Motherwell have now kept 12 clean sheets and conceded just three goals in their last 15 league games. They have now lost only three league games. Only second-top Rangers have lost fewer. They are now unbeaten in their latest four visits to SMiSA Stadium, all without conceding a goal, and have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 league visits.

A toss up between this one and the Celtic one that some of their fans described as the most dominant display from a domestic side that they could remember.

The exact opposite of a game where I thought we'd need to grind out a single goal win.

Mikey has a man crush on JBA - and rightly so.

A bit silkier than our side that beat his St Mirren team in the Scottish Cup.

Must be a while since we scored 5 away from home in the league.

Relegation battle in Paisley. Long shot title chase in Motherwell.

No, I'm not adding "the team" as an option. Pick the bones out of that one...

Been waiting to use it, but promise I won't use it again.

That was a Thor yin for St Mirren.

We don't need diving cheats in our team. We're better than that. We've been passing them off the pitch. That's much more satisfying.

Agreed. I hope JBA sorts that out.

Never thought I'd see the day when I wanted 2 St Mirren players to stay on the park - and one of them was Gogic.

Unless he scratched his eye with a fingernail, there was nothing in that for even a yellow. VAR should have sorted that one out.
