As much as excuses shouldnt be made right after a match as it's a bad loser or drawer? thing to do. You cant say that windy and bad weather doesn't favour a team who relies on unpredictability, I.e. hoofing it up the pitch blindly at every opportunity.
I would think the wind would affect a team that went long with the ball much more than one that relied on precise close passing so you could be right if it stopped you kicking it to the fast lads.
 
What was the xRedCardForPogba ? The xLukakuGoesMissingAgainstTop6 ?
Don't know mate I don't do stats, I only know the two I posted because they shown them on Sky.
What were the ones you ask about, if anyone would know it would surely be you or Jimmy :grin:

Well if you go by xG you should have lost to Palace and Spurs so you're still ahead compared to the alternative league

I watched the match too. Strange performance I would say. The first half hour you were very subdued. No dynamism and passes going astray. Classical after the Lord Mayor Show performance. Then you woke up after going 1 down. You did create some chances but the accuracy wasn’t there. Rashford was under par as was Matic and Pogba. Lukaku should have scored at least once but squandered his chances. May be a draw would have been fairer but you did get 3 points when you should have got one on many occasions and Arsenal didn’t deserve to lose last time round.

Fascinating fight to get 2 CL places between 4 teams in prospect.

Did you miss the bit where Ole said we have won some we shouldn't have?

The man is honest, genuine and passionate.
Not at all like your man
The wind was strong
The grass was too long
The grass was too dry
They had lots of injuries that disrupted our rhythm <doh> <laugh>
It was raining very hard

<laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

Spot on mate <ok>
 
Just watching yesterday’s motd. Pickford <laugh>

How the ref didn’t send him off for the pen is a joke, but then he handed them the first 2 goals after just letting them go straight grouch him... he’s had a shocker of a season after the Priae he got at the WC

TBF the ball (and Rondon) were going well wide so not a great goal scoring opportunity and although I only saw it once, I think there were defenders getting back between ball and goal.

Dont agree but even ignoring all that, it was a tackle at waiste height so even then it’s dangerous play.
 
I agree with all of the bold bit, apart from that you watched a different game to most.
We created the most (and best) chances but ****ed them up, yes in the first 30mins they were running through our defence at will but never looked dangerous (apart from a freak shot and soft pen). Once Lindelof moved over to the right we looked a fair bit better, not good just better.
Matic was way off the pace and really should maybe would have been hooked at half time if Herrera had been available, Pogba had to sit deeper which we all know he isn't good at.

As a last resort I will turn to the stats that Jimmy and Astro love so much

XG United 2.5
XG Arsenal 1.5

<laugh>

So you’re using XG to prove your point? Bit hypocritical really given you instantly dismissed it when I raised it earlier this week.
 
so.... the Birmingham fan might get jail and the club a points deduction.

but... the arsneal fan who did it later in day who I presume knew full well what occurred and the condemnation resulting... what should he get... and what should arse am get?

until we know for sure what the facts are, can't base anything on assumptions.

i have heard in the villa game that a steward tripped up the player as well, don't know if this is true or not though.

club should be relegated if they have fans and stewards who attack people.
