This really made me laugh as well

Really interesting, cheers.

If Lingard hits the post there then puts the rebound in, does it count double? Or, let's say Bowen, Schmeichel and Lingard are the only people in that shot. Bowen has the ball but Schmeichel is right on him. He has an easy square ball for Lingard to tap in with nobody around him but gets the pass completely wrong and balloons it over his head. How would the xG treat that easy scoring opportunity when the player with the simple chance never receives the ball? Would it count Bowen's tricky chance (if he takes it himself, which he doesn't) as the one for the data and disregard the easy one for Lingard? I really know nowt about how it works like.

Rory Smith's got a book about the use of data in football coming out soon.

3 cards each tonight was 33/1, I thought better of it. Well done.

FH card and 3 each lands at Boro at 16/1. I played "safe" as it was Marriner and just had 3 each at 10/1. Got the same at Blackburn but for some ridiculous reason I haven't put the double on.

The kind of game we'd have lost 3-0 in each of the last ten seasons.

This is absolutely hilarious

Everton's team is absolute dregs.

Ryan Wintle (Cardiff) and Anthony Gordon card double, 44/1 Card prices in both games are pretty decent tbh. Gordon/Ings 2 SOT each, 32/1 (Betfair) Gordon is starting up front, going at 11/2 for 2 SOT.

Been to Paphos on my holidays and got myself the new white kit: The club shop's not up and running yet (wasn't last week anyway) so when you go into what is labelled the club shop, it's literally just the club office doubling up as a shop, so they've got a few shirts and hats hanging up with no prices on, and the people running the club sitting at their desks awkwardly staring at you, surrounded by whiteboards with the team schedule, sponsorship deals and transfer targets all over them. The general manager sold me a shirt and I sat at his desk while he had an argument on the phone about a transfer deal. Was all a bit surreal. He said I'd missed meeting their new sporting director (Mendieta) by 24 hours. Love that the club badge is the face of some Cypriot nationalist who was hanged by the British in the 50s for having firearms strapped to his donkey. Can't beat that sort of shit.

Me too, will hold off updating until they fix it.

Big opportunity for Burn.

Used to always fancy Pauleta for an outside chance of top scorer at tournaments and he was always absolutely wank.

I'm amazed no top flight club has pinched Sarr, far too good for that division.

Free fiver on Almiron and Bruno 2 SOT each and Colback card, 57/1ish

Started as I mean to go on.

If anyone fancies a Norwegian punt, Sandefjord 7/1 at Tromso at 17:00 is a really strange price.

Motherwell

I'm shocked Belotti is 28, I'd have guessed like 32-33.

Is it me or is the player turnover this summer absolutely massive?

Saying Brentford invites further questions. "Nowhere exciting" is a tacit way of saying "I don't really want to talk to a stranger about my work, thanks very much" Why should he be expected to conduct every minor social interaction as if some hypothetical Brentford supporter is going to get upset about it once it's posted on the internet?

I'd missed Samba signing for Lens. Strange one that.

Anyone know of any bookies offering prices on how many goals Bruno will score this season?
