There was plenty of talk about xg after the Leicester game because apparently we are should have won by something like 1.5 to 0.5. I go along with what the late great Jimmy Sirrel said, that the right team always wins, the rest is just noise.
Or Thierry Henry vs Ireland. Joe Jordan vs Wales. Paul Scholes vs Poland. Allowing for the odd ref blunder I still think it's a good general rule. Football is all about hitting the onion bag, simple.
