About

Clear as Mud Sports is an honest football notebook. Pub-debate questions, settled with actual data — interactive tools you can poke at, not pundit gossip dressed up as analysis.

Every piece answers one question. The kind you'd argue about after a game, except here the working-out is shown and the data is real. You can filter it, slice it, poke at it, and share the view that proves your point (or doesn't).

How it works

We scrape match-level player data from FBref every week during the season. The raw data covers every Premier League era match from 1992-93 onwards — plus FA Cup, League Cup, and European competitions.

The tools compute everything client-side from that dataset, so every filter combination is instant and every URL is shareable. No server round-trips, no loading spinners.
