Match Day Thread Hull City v Leeds

Exactly why.

And there was always that undissolved grit at the bottom of a bovril or coffee despite having to literally defy physics to be there - and a fine film of scum floating on top as well.

 

If you got a sausage roll with your Bovril, you could wipe the bottom as you dunked.

 

Not a bad start to his career

 

And apart from one of the worst decisions in the history of refereeing in the 98th minute (games aren’t lasting that long after the first weekend experiment) we would be unbeaten

 

So if you have a 1 in 2 striker is that a better way of expressing it? It's literally the same thing only it takes into account the quality of the chances they have not just whether they've bundled one in off their ass.

 

They scored via a donkey?

 

Ah memories. I won't mention what words I used to google this, not exactly PC in this day and age but exactly what they were called back then, ahem.

Interestingly made by AC - who are much better known for making the Cobra amongst other sexy sports cars.

I had similar at Peterborough; January 2013 a one all draw, it was absolutely freezing - two red hot chicken balti pies + I was pissing Bovril all afternoon but still couldn't get warm (apart from my burnt mouth) - **** game and if my memory's correct Grant M. scored an equaliser for them from the spot.

 

You might mate, but that's a bit 'niche' for me.

 

Yet it doesn't take into account when a certain individual has a habit of 'bumbling' them in, which is a skill in itself.

XG is useful in certain pro-analytic environments but is inherently limited in most contexts, to the point that it is pretty unrepresentative when it's being used in a lay/media environment.

Football is about balls in the back of the net. It really is that simple.

 

I wonder if the same skepticism and sneering disapproval of xG would be applied if I had instead said Twine was averaging X number of shots on target each game. If you don't use stats such as xG/shots on target and instead just fixate on how many goals a player has scored, it means you're always chasing your tail and reacting to good form rather than anticipating it.

xG is just a more sophisticated metric that plenty can't seem to comprehend or accept, which is fine, they can watch and discuss football in any manner they wish.

 

Keep wondering

 

I bet you think Football Manager is real don’t you? Not related to Mystic Meg by any chance, cos that’s what your doing, looking into the future is not the way to guess a players form

 

Warm 'Pawns'?

Don't know what type of football matches you frequent and why you would think that seafood sandwiches were all the rage but that aside, I'm ****ed if I'm eating chess-pieces at half time...

 

We are all just pawns in Acun’s grand plan.

 

I was having that very conversation with Ronaldo only yesterday. I told him "I'm a pawn again Christian".

 

If I had won the Pools back in those days it would have taken a spin of a coin to decide between a Jensen Interceptor or an AC Cobra as my first buy. With an E-Type Jag as a spare.

 

Depends which pools company you used?

Littlewoods and Vernons might have seen you achieving your dream,Zetters would've afforded you a set of mats for your bubble car.

 

Nick Deacy managed one off his arse, from memory it may have been against Huddersfield.
