Football Match Database

. 

After spending a lot of time researching and gathering football statistics over the last few months, I've come to realise that I won't be able to commit to sending out weekly rating emails over the coming year.
.
As most of my time is focussed around cricket it only leaves so many hours in the day, and with a new baby on the way it's only going to become harder to manage!

However, it's not all bad news as I've decided to offer the data I hold to subscribers of last seasons ratings email and to readers of my blog.

In total, I now have access to over 30,000 football results covering seasons 2000/2001 to 2010/2011, with match statistics for each game at the click of mouse.  The majority of the major European leagues are included:

English Premier League

English Championship

English Leagues 1 & 2

Scottish Premier League

Spanish La Liga

German Bundesliga

French Ligue 1

Dutch Eredivisie

In addition I've also included my revamped performance ratings which splits a team performance into attack and defence (maximum of 13 points for each).  By doing this it helps me build an instant picture of a teams strengths and weaknesses. 

If you are proficient in excel and are happy at filtering and using pivot tables,then you can answer multitudes of questions in seconds - full data includes:

Home & Away teams with match dates

Full time scores (by team)

Half time scores (by team)

Attack, Defence & average performance ratings (by team)

Number of shots (by team)

Number of shots on goal (by team)

Number of fouls (by team)

Number of corners (by team)

Number of yellow cards (by team)

Number of red cards (by team)

Pre-match Bookmaker odds (home, draw & away)

Total match goals

Full time and half time results

I really believe that having this information makes a difference, so if you want access and a copy for yourself then follow the link below:

There's a small one off fee but after that the data is yours to keep and manipulate however you wish.  The data is supplied as a spreadsheet in .xls format and is best accessed using Microsoft Excel 2007 or later.

To give you an idea of what to expect I'm happy to email anyone interested a sample file of 500 matches for free - just email me at members@markiverson.com.  Enjoy!

I'm making this available as I feel some of you could benefit from using the data to analyse and benchmark past games, but if you're not interested or already have something similar then that's fine.
