Which position does the xG take as the "chance"? Is it when Sissoko picks the ball up on the halfway line there's an 11% chance of scoring, or when he's about to swing his left foot at it with just the keeper to beat? Surely the "chance of scoring" changes with every second the play moves on? If it doesn't take into account the player on the ball, does it at least take into account that he's a right footed player in a left sided situation?

It's a real insult to Joselu to compare him with Riviere, the former's just a bit crap, the latter was absolutely hopeless.

I agree Mowen[/member]

Doubt that'll bother them much, they've only been doing so for the last 8 months. I don't think they mean the way you think, they want to play their youth team in Serie A at the expense of someone else. I see what you mean.

Cheers neesy, hadn't realised.

Today's 5Live Football Daily podcast is an interview with Rafa about the most important matches of his career.

not to mention that goal line clearance when they played each other Or the draw Vs man utd. TBF if Mahrez had scored his penalty, it might have been all over bar the shouting the other way.

Who are the pundits they have on air? Carragher for Liverpool, then is it Gary Neville for Man U? Who’s on for Man City? Genuine question (not a facetious one yet). They have Joe Hart in the studio Cheers. Bit surprised it’s Hart tbh - is he any good? Only as long as the person he's speaking to isn't down to his left.

Ahead of Liverpool? Almost certainly.

I'm on my worst run ever in terms of sheer bad luck. Almost every slip I put on loses by a single goal, totalling at least £500 over the weekend. Tonight's was an 11 fold needing 21 goals in total, obviously I got 20 and the other game had one disallowed late on. Also needed another Man Utd goal to win one slip and another City goal to win another.

Only a matter of time before the little clown starts ringing round asking if Becks and Giggsy are available for tonight.

Bloody love this.

As Jonathan Wilson always points out, this is just the way of the world now. For the first three years of OPTA stats (mid 2000s), there were a total of 3 games where one side had more than 70% possession, this season alone I think he said it's nearly 70 games.

Ledley King was 9 seconds Aye, Shearer was second after Carlo Nash booted it at him. https://www.premierleague.com/news/913611

Didn't take Shane Long to score.

Saints in front within 10 seconds, I think it's a new PL record actually.

The main thing I take away from seeing that table is that Eddie Howe is a total WANKER.

Who the hell are the Dons?

I like how the pundits and journalists immediately forget that it always always happens. As soon as a caretaker wins a couple of games, there's an immediate clamour for him to get the job, without fail.

He has managed 12 games and won 10. This is PSG we're talking about here. It's not going to be held against Solskjaer when he lost 2 of his best players early on and when we went 1-0 down to a player who shouldn't have been on the field. The game was very balanced at half time. Losing Martial and Lingard was huge and then the Kimpembe decision was a disgrace. Ridiculous set of fixtures at the minute and now with these injuries. Agreed. Give him the job. He's doing great. Then he can look embarrassingly out of his depth before fucking off back to Norway so I never have to see his face ever again. So so so glad they gave this total clown the job.

Might not bother with the extra goal...

Winning

Leeds United, Christ almighty. Didn't even need them to win for £56, just a second goal. Against the worst away side in the division who played with ten men for 80 minutes.

Assume Feyenoord fans are delighted.
