Welcome to The Technical Area. More than simply a another Premier League fan blog, The Technical Area hopes to offer an insight into the stats behind the beautiful game. A relatively unexplored domain, the statistical side to football can tell us more about both the teams and the players. While numbers can only show us so much, they can contribute to our assessment of players and teams and deepen our understanding of the game.

Although no substitute for a good game, The Technical Area will hopefully provide fans with an interesting and informative analysis of the Premier League in the down time between games. There should be something for all fans here and comments are welcome. If this blog manages to spark a bit of debate I will have succeeded.

Enjoy the site.
