'The Guardian's Interactive Chalkboards offer player analytics that until now have only been available to top managers and coaches. The chalkboard plots every action of every player in every Premier League match and lets the user analyse that data however they see fit. There are more than 2,500 actions recorded in an average game and every action on the ball is analysed – passes, shots, blocks, tackles and more. The level of detail is such that the chalkboards will even show you which foot a player used to strike the ball.' Ever wondered how many passes Ronaldo makes a match ? How many shots Torres has on target and from where on the pitch? This website shows all this and more. You can even make your own chalkborad of the school's football team if you want. Try it out.

Great Read
It would be much easier to tell this story if it were all about a chaste and perfect love between Two Children Against the World at an Extreme Time in History. But let's face it, that would be crap. Daisy is sent from New York to England to spend a summer with cousins she has never met. They are Isaac, Edmond, Osbert and Piper. And two dogs and a goat. She's never met anyone quite like them before - and, as a dreamy English summer progresses, Daisy finds herself caught in a timeless bubble. It seems like the perfect summer. But their lives are about to explode. Falling in love is just the start of it. War breaks out - a war none of them understands, or really cares about, until it lands on their doorstep. The family is separated. The perfect summer is blown apart. Daisy's life is changed forever - and the world is too.
