It’s been just over a month since we started All Stats Aren’t We.
Originally, it was just intended to be a monthly podcast hosted by Jon Mackenzie and Jamie Kemp. However, when Jon started tweeting match previews and reviews, the Twitter feed boomed.
Since then, we have started a Medium which hosts a number of pieces already, replete with gifs and images to open up the shadowy world of Leeds United’s tactical and statistical underpinnings.
To cope with the surge, Josh Hobbs, one of our regular writers, has been helping run the Twitter feed. He’s the one who uses exclamation marks.
And if that weren’t enough, All Stats Aren’t We also has an hourly slot on Love Sport Radio between 8pm and 9pm on a Friday. You can listen to this week’s episode here. There are currently plans in place to release this show as a podcast through our Acast feed.
There is only one problem: it can be hard to keep up with all the content that is coming out. That is where this Substack comes in.
Everything that we post—be it on Twitter, Acast, Medium or Love Sport Radio—will now also be put out on our Substack. If you sign up—and sign ups will be free—then all of this content will be sent straight through to your email address. You won’t miss a thing.
Don’t worry, though! All of this content will be available in exactly the same places as before. We’re just trying to help you by sending it directly to you.
Now, there are plans afoot to monetise All Stats Aren’t We. This is mainly because a Wyscout account would be very useful to us as we produce content for you.
In addition, Jon—who does the majority of the work at present—is a freelance writer and journalist and would also like to eat at some point. He would also like to reward the people who are working hard to bring you content.
At present, Jon is watching around four matches-worth of material for a preview/review package: quite a time consuming endeavour before you take into account writing up the pieces and finding graphics.
Never fear, though. We’ll never fully hide behind a paywall. The plan will be to contine to offer the content that we’re currently offering for free and then put some bonus material out for our Substack subscribers.
But that is a plan for another day. All that remains for you now is to subscribe to this newsletter and pick up all of our content straight into your inbox. You’ll never miss anything again!
In the meantime, tell your friends!

Jon, Jamie and Josh
