The Most Important Metric In Football

[@tylercady3985]

I think Tottenham should get a bonus point for the stadium itself. Its not a pub, but they have a brewery INSIDE the stadium. Thats gotta be worth something

[@dc6521]

Probably means they can charge what they want, daniel levy's dream.

[@ash23win]

Well the stadium was worth about two billion pounds😂😂

[@Killifar]

Truly one of the metrics of football

[@Saihttam_]

Definitely one of them

[@iirovaltonen4258]

My first thought was "It's Newcastle, isn't it."

[@daninagy4173]

Around #6 I was thinking to myself "Surely, it has to be them,"

[@thehellyousay]

i woulda thought leeds, but this is only about prem teams

[@FahimHoq]

when I saw the blurry list, I could see the top team had 2 words, I guessed Man Utd, turns out it was NewCastle Utd. Speaking of which, it is surprising to see neither Man City or ManU in the top 10 list. Perhaps the culture in that city is very different.

[@Kai-zd8kq]

174 pubs within a mile of the stadium, you’ll never sing that ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@napolean_ragland]

St James Park is slap bang in the centre of a major city. None of the others are close to the centres. and yes, every 3rd building is a pub, lol

[@EhThisIsAGoodName]

At this stage the city of Newcastle was probably built around St. James' Park

[@matthewgriffiths5005]

The circle covers all of the city, beyond the central motorway and a decent way across the river. The amount of the city it covers in a one mile radius is huge

[@napolean_ragland]

@@matthewgriffiths5005 Yeah as the crow flies 1 mile might reach Gateshead town centre as well

[@KLOC2812]

Wolves stadium is over the road from the city centre.

[@napolean_ragland]

@@KLOC2812 I thought wolverhampton was a town my bad. Only 50 pubs? must do better

[@Killifar]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Wayne Rooney index.

[@mexicorolls]

How the hell is that even possible 😂🤯

[@Veaseify]

Newcastle city centre where St James Park is located is very compact - and wall to wall drinking establishments. Its why so many Stag and Hen do's take place there (bachelor and bacholorette parties for the US based viewers).

[@rhodrambles3943]

As someone who went to uni in Wolverhampton, I can confirm there are a lot of pubs although hats off to Newcastle. Now, if it was a list of chicken shops or Greggs within a mile, Wolverhampton would be top. Literally have two dixies chicken on the same street, almost opposite each other.

[@kartikwasade1010]

0:12 how many kilometres/miles did you run today

[@ThatLadBen]

As someone from Newcastle, there’s barely no houses near Newcastle, shops and pubs mostly nothing much else and a university and a college, different pub round every corner and there’s a lot of pubs that are 2-3 doors away from each other

[@josebatxu32]

That's just smart business, that should be more than enough for them to hold the entire stadium capacity or more

[@copious983]

So what I take from this is, Man United suck at this too

[@meelooxavier6502]

In Romania there's a ban on selling alcohol within 2km from the stadium around match time, so this top would be renamed to: how many pubs are not making any money on matchday within a 1 mile radius 😂

[@p.j.wilkins1321]

Why is Z mentioning running? Is that something he's done before?

[@nikodraganic]

He's mentioned it, not sure about doing it

[@reverendroar]

The London stadium is in Stratford (East London) which was Olympics Park (where the 2012 Olympics was) , now called Queen Elizabeth II Park

[@manuelbarros4898]

As a Manchester United fan, I’m embarrassed and appalled. I’m starting a petition for more pubs to be established around Old Trafford and, if I can get some financing, a pub.

[@pjn7136]

The US keeps being told how great the Metric System is, and yet, this survey references one mile? Hippocrates! 😂

[@napolean_ragland]

Because the british use miles

[@charliemorris4641]

The point about places outside of London could’ve been made with literally anyone else OTHER than Nottingham Forest😭 The entirety of Nottingham is just pubs/bars/clubs because there’s 2 universities there

[@McPilch]

If it is distance covered by running, one might say Z fails horribly in this metric... but given that after all this time, he's not been caught by the footballing authorities, I'd say Z is an elite runner!

[@LiftandCoa]

DONT give him any more ideas to think he can not go for a run today!

[@RaulEdu33]

Ironically, Newcastle United is owned by a country that by Sharia law prohibits the consumption of alcohol and you can get imprisoned and deported for it. 😅

[@KLOC2812]

I used to live within a mile of the Wolves ground and I can understand why those 50 pubs are required tbf

[@guywhosjoe8847]

Definitely agree with your statements regarding the cultural significance of this metric. I couldn't agree more with the rankings and I think that the importance of pubs highlights the cultural fabric of football in England, with local establishments contributing to matchday experiences. Also, tell Cristiano Ronaldo when you get the chance to not get jumped by Lionel Messi on July 30th 2029 at 11:54 PM UTC.

[@ninjalectualx]

Kinda disgusting that alcohol is the most popular drug

[@Mebsuta]

I'm Spanish. I had no prior knowledge of the urban layout around the premier league stadiums. I've only ever been to London as far as the UK goes. I immediately guessed Newcastle for first. Of course the northeners would win this list.

[@theflamminghotwotsit]

Newcastle stadium st james' park is in the city centre and they do love a drink up there i have family there although not a Newcastle fan I've had some fantastic nights out in the city and at least 5 of my top ten hangovers in my life were produced in Newcastle 👍

[@isaacbobjork7053]

I had to check my club Djurgården (Stockholm) and our rivals Hammarby who also have 3Arena as their home ground. Apparently we have 16 pubs (some doubles as restaurants) within that radius, all but one north and northwest of the arena.

[@hieuhaang8802]

As someone who correctly guessed Newcastle, it was not actually that hard. When Z said it was a league above everyone else, I immediately thought of teams that do not have a local rival in the Prem, and in the end I just went for Newcastle because of how far north it is compared to everyone else.

[@napolean_ragland]

How is no local rival linked to more pubs? Everton will probably take over Newcastle for most pubs with their new stadium location, and they have a local rival in the prem

[@kasperseppalainen1337]

@@napolean_ragland If there are many local clubs then obviously the difference between clubs wouldn't be as great, as the clubs would be sharing a lot of pubs. Get well soon.

[@napolean_ragland]

@@kasperseppalainen1337 That doesnt make sense at all. Ground A being next to ground B wont change the amount of pubs is within a mile of Ground A. And there s only 4 stadiums in the prem / all of england which overlap each other

[@napolean_ragland]

@ And Newcastle United has the most pubs because its the only stadium in the centre of a city, not because theres no rivals

[@joebaxi01]

Realistically it could have been any of the clubs that didn't make the top ten. Leicester is a bigger city than Newcastle and they have one club. It's more to do with the location in the city than how many clubs there are.

[@LiftandCoa]

The most important metric is how many kilometers youve run today Zealand I have it up to here with you slagging off.

[@MinisterManDan]

Just putting my guess here on my honor before I get the answer: Brentford EDIT: JESUSFUCK THATS A LOT OF PUBS

[@McPilch]

Need to see the numbers for the old Upton Park. And clubs like Luton, Millwall, Leeds, etc...

[@justamuslim9825]

Next up : expected banter chants from fans per 90

[@5minutemovies977]

You can have a special version of that for... oh I don't know... Spain.

[@ralv]

Truly the bestest metric is how the forehead hasn’t been growing as much recently.

[@97alexander]

There is definitely more than 14 pubs with a 1 mile radius of the city ground there is 5 on the same street as it

[@j.ackermann9110]

Wait Newcastle got a pub for every single one of their fans within a mile of their stadium? Damn, thats commitment.

[@thehellyousay]

considering spurs' season, that is a woefully inadequate number of pubs within dejected stumbling distance

[@Bagster321]

Now this is a metric finally worth measuring. As an Australian, I approve. Now excuse me, it's Friday arvo, clock off time. Time to go to the pub.

[@SlugsOfDoom]

I spent a day last summer walking around Newcastle city centre handing out my CV to every pub I saw. Quickly Ran out of CVs. So many pubs, so few jobs...

[@Iamrealhonest]

I knew it's my team at no.1. It's the only metric that we don't get the "Saudi money" thrown at us! 😂😂

[@chandlerking2260]

We need a metric to tell us how many days in a row you havent ran

[@JoDyMa]

Before we go any further than knowing what the list is about, I would probably guess that Newcastle is 1st, Arsenal 2nd and then Spurs 3rd Thats my guess

[@bl.ang.ko42]

Park Life Index

[@ozukabeats2456]

this is the content we love to see!!!

[@zuhayershadmankhan9870]

Feels like we need an xG like xPub metric because we gotta rank some of these London clubs down just because they are from London and there will be pubs regardless of the presence of a football club.

[@CMW003]

The way st james park is positioned does give newcastle an unfair advantage, its basically in the middle of the city. But also yeah, newcastle is pubs, greggs and a stadium

[@anardi7112]

I feel like the #1 stadium for this in the USA would almost certainly be Wrigley Field in Chicago

[@jensenfairhurst426]

Liverpool/Everton is a bit of a red herring because they're literally nextdoor, most of those pubs are the same pubs

[@CookiemonsterOnLive]

thank you for this glorious content

[@hayz1313]

Zealand- as a Geordie born & bred I have the answer for this. Unlike most other teams, our stadium is smack bang in the middle of the city, we didnt build pubs around our stadium we built everything around it! We call it the church on the hill & football is our religion here. You can see St James' from everywhere & on a match day you can hear & feel it too. We're also one of the only cities that doesn't have any other football teams, everyone supports Newcastle so the atmosphere & vibe of the entire city is based a lot on how the team are doing. I love it 🖤🤍

[@jekanyika]

Tbf some of the pubs will be shared between Anfield and Goodison as they are less than a mile apart

[@listey]

Newcastle having so many pubs so close is for exactly the same reason as why they will never get a stadium that meets their needs. It's quite problematic.

[@mem5860]

The most important is xg, the player that can create a low xg to a high xg constantly in every match . Is the goat

[@mikeru99]

Zealand, have you ever been to Wolverhampton…if you have, you wouldn’t need to ask?! And I speak as a local!

[@kevingoldie8825]

the trouble though with the pubs near Arsenal and Chelsea is that they are full of Chelsea and Arsenal fans. Its about quality not quantity..

[@OhJustSomeRandomGuy]

I think we need some analytics on this. What's the xD of a fan going to one of these matches? And do they convert?

[@ozukabeats2456]

chelsea pubs be selling champagne and whisky

[@nekonyansensei]

Most pubs within a mile of here, you'll never sing that!

[@shandabowz7881]

I wonder how many pubs are shared between goodison park and anfield, would be a cool venn diagram

[@WillAnderson-rk6vp]

Having been to Newcastle I can say, yes there is that many pubs

[@snake3837]

It would be amazing if you would provide link to resources that you are using. I want to share this image with my friends on group chat and have to look for it :D

[@fabiocravo866]

That’s where all that Saudi money went

[@DuckSwagington]

Goodison and Anfield are right next to each other (comparitively) so there's probably a lot of overlap between the two.

[@jekanyika]

That's what I was thinking. They are less than a mile from each other there is definitely some doubling up.

[@paulsmithspearlywhites8888]

I'm not the slightest bit surprised by who won this

[@paulbuksmann5901]

Newcastle competes with Scotlands alcoholism levels for a reason.

“29 pubs, houses and some tractors”. So you have been to Ipswich then?

If you go for an away day in Newcastle, how do you even decide where to go before the match?

Day 1 of asking Mr Ism to talk about the baffling consistency of Crystal Palace who, since they got promoted in 12-13, have been 10th-14th (besides one season where they got 15th) in the Prem with 40something points and are on pace to do exactly that this season again

[@aaronedwards4953]

Maybe it should be based on square meters? Not all pubs are equal.

[@Ryuzakku]

There is exactly fuck all to do in Newcastle beyond go to pubs

[@EstParum]

Wins is the only that counts!!!!

Did anyone have any doubt which club would be on top of this list?
