Be reasonable, there were 1,000 Arsenal fans protesting outside the stadium, that’s an ear splitting noise for the home team and they are simply not used to it. Very off putting.

Still haven't watched a second of the Six-Pricks.
It actually feels good. Last evening was far more enjoyable than watching the Arse.

It would be great to see Everton and West Ham get into the European slots. They’ve put their heads down and got on with playing football rather than trying to screw the rest of the league by greed and selfishness.
If anyone is familiar with the Brentford P1ss take on LFW's about the games that they've won comfortably won using the xG method of scoring, whatever that is, but IRL have only drawn or lost games....... Well at the moment under xG they are beating Bournemouth 3-0 at HT, except IRL it's actually 0-0........
EXPECTED GOALS EXPLAINED: WHAT DOES XG MEAN?
When referring to football, the term xG stands for ‘expected goals’. Simply put, xG is a metric that calculates the probability of a certain shot resulting in a goal.
Looking at a historical data set of shots taken from different positions and which of those resulted in a goal, expected goals shows us how many goals an average team could be expected to score from their shots.
An xG of 1.00, for example, indicates a guaranteed goal, which obviously doesn’t exist. A goalscoring chance with an xG of 0.40 meanwhile, tells us that if that shot was taken 10 times, you could expect it to hit the back of the net on four occasions.
EXPECTED GOALS EXPLAINED: HOW IS XG CALCULATED?
As we now know, expected goals measures the quality of goalscoring chances and the likelihood of them being scored – but how is it calculated?
Despite what some may have you believe, it’s actually quite simple. The quality of a shot is measured based on a number of variables, all of which should be pretty self-explanatory to any discerning football fan.
These include:
- Assist type
- Shot angle
- Distance from goal
- Was it a header?
- Was it a big chance?
- Did it occur in open play?
- Was it a set-piece?
You two really need to have a look at the Brentford thread on LFW's.......
You've probably seen on MOTD this crap about Expected Goals......see Steely's explanation above......
Well Frank the Brentford manager keeps referring to Expected Goals claiming that they've won games when they haven't, bit like the Justice League thing they had going when Dean Smith was manager, you know we deserved to win that game because we were so much the better side etc
Basically it's all a load of bollox but Brentford swear by it.........
It’s not a load of bollocks. It has limitations and plenty of football hipster types put too much weight on it but it’s useful data to help differentiate between an unlucky team and **** one. Bookies utilise it plenty.
OK I stand corrected.......but as I don't bet and am not a football hipster I still think it's a load of bollox........
****'s sake. Ridiculous VAR decision gets a West Ham player sent off for a completely accidental challenge against the scum.
Pathetic.
It's truly ruining the game in its present form.

Absolute nonsense decision....this looking at things in slow motion always makes it look worse..... problem is that those refereeing and overseeing var have no feel for the game.....no way was that intentional, just an unfortunate collision....
Thankfully we don't have this sh1te in championship....
It's utterly dreadful. I also hate having just three PL games on a Saturday and none at 3pm. MOTD is rubbish now and I really miss that buzz of having loads of games kick off at 3pm.
Reading just went behind at home against Swansea.
1-2 with 5minutes left.
****ing lovely.

So Barnsley just escaped relegation last season with 49 points versus Charltons 48.
This year they are in the playoffs, with a marginally lower budget than us...Mainly from hanging on to their influential players (Mowatt and Dike and Chaplin)
We can do the same next season, can't we
