Daft cunt would be wanking about how many punches he should have landed based on number of punches thrown but then I’d just twat the cunt with my nunchucks

I’d sack Stat Nonce Suds before I sacked Eddie

I can guarantee you that is absolute bollocks. DM me if you want to know why, I’m more than happy to explain to you why I know for an absolute fact that what you’re saying is utter shite.

Which is absolutely fine, you need to know a ballpark they’re willing to offer and they need to know a ballpark you’re willing to accept. People just need ask each other and if either side is unwilling to say then walk away.

I have no interest in ever working at NUFC. I’ll just say that for the record.

I know for a fact that many companies will high ball. If they really want someone, they’ll pay what they need to pay to get that person. Both sides have a walk away point, but the assumption that low balls for professionals is the norm is absolute bollocks.

Well then your pimp wasted their own time, your time and NUFC’s time The pimp is the one who fucked that up.

That doesn’t even make any sense man. Companies paying over the bracket / market rate for talent is a good thing ya doylem. But how do are they supposed to communicate that in an advert ? “We’d ideally like to pay between £x and £y but if someone absolutely mega comes along and we want them to come us rather than a competitor then we might be able to stretch to £z” Cos that’s what happens in the real world.

Companies might advertise the salary and someone absolutely mega that they’d have broken their salary bracket for doesn’t apply because they felt the advertised salary was too low. Most people who moan about salaries not being on job ads only ever see it from the “they’ll low ball me” perspective never appreciating that they could also high ball you if they really want you.

Like I said, I have no idea if their pay is good or not. If you got offered a job there and it was £10 grand less than what you were getting paid then during the interview process were you asked what your salary expectations were, or did you at any point ask what the salary band or target salary was ? Cos if neither of those things happened then the process was fundamentally flawed.

It’s not at all. If you’re in some sort of professional occupation then you’ll know roughly what you should be getting paid for that job and you’ll establish what might be possible for the role you're interested in nice and early in the process. Companies will often pay over the odds for the right person, the “salary not advertised means they’ll low ball me” is just a paranoid view of the world. If an offer is made but salary expectation is misaligned on either side, then not only is the candidates time wasted, but also the time is wasted of everyone from the company who got involved in the hiring process that didn’t convert for reasons that could have been avoided. It’s a lose / lose for all.

Nonsense. They just don’t want to put the salary on their job adverts. There can be loads of reasons why a company doesn’t put salary on job adverts. I’ve got no idea if NUFC are competitive payers or not but this “any company who doesn’t put a salary on their job advert just wants to take the piss on salary” is utter bollocks. I know for a fact that some companies don’t put salaries on adverts because they’re willing to pay people above market rate to get the best talent. They just don’t want everyone to know that.

That’s playing havoc with my grammar and punctuation OCD. Looks like it was typed by someone who’s just huffed on a bag of Bostik.

Inverted right sided double pivot number 1

I reckon we’ll concede a fuckload if Pope plays out wide

Can we recall Elliott Anderson from his loan spell at Forest ?

Time for Schar to step into midfield methinks

Go back and read what me and Woderic were discussing. We were talking about the xG performance for a team. Their overall xG as a group of 11 players on the field trying to create and score chances. We weren’t taking about the xG of an individual or individuals in that team. And what I was saying is that just looking at team xG doesn’t give any indication of the capability of the player who had the chance, or the keeper and defenders who were trying to stop that chance. They’re all classed as being average. You can’t come in here thinking you’re Prince Stat Nerd waving your plastic sword about trying to defend the honour of Princess xG when you haven’t done your homework. @Rod the dragon will destroy you.

TV Rights - Tottenham are expected to receive £163m in the 25/26 season from the TV rights deal. (But that was based on including the merit payments of finishing 5th so the number will be £20-30ish million lower than forecast) Stadium - The move from White Hart Lane to the world-class Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2019 was transformational to the club’s revenue streams once the impact of the pandemic and empty stadiums was navigated. Matchday revenues grew from £45m for the last season at White Hart Lane in 2016/17, to £106m for the most recent set of accounts for 2023/24. For the previous campaign, with additional home games, a high watermark of £118m was seen. Commercial revenue also grew significantly, rising from £76m in 2017 to £255m for 2024, an increase of 236 per cent over the seven years. Sponsorship - AIA pay Tottenham £40m per season

And therein lies one of the key problems with xG Woderic. xG is based on all players being "average". It doesn't take into account whether a player is a generational talent, or if they're utter dogshit. For xG purposes, one size Fitz Hall. Which is fundamentally flawed because football is played by humans, not robots.

Some Everton fans are saying they don’t like their new stadium cogito ergo sum the same will happen to us Stop worrying about everyone else and focus on NUFC. A new stadium might be immense, it might be the pits. But to say you can see into the future and it’ll be either of those things, before a plan has even been communicated to the general public, is the opinion of a lunatic.

Sometimes the less visually attractive lasses put in the best effort when you get them between the sheets Tis a fact of life

Credit where it’s due to them, they’ve approached the league with a very specific game plan and it’s worked. How many goals did they concede last night from those 23 shots ? Despite popular opinion, shots that don’t score aren’t worth diddly when it comes to the league table. Tight at the back means not conceding goals. A key factor is that they’ve got a really good keeper. I’d rather have Gordon Banks facing 23 shots from Xisco, than Mike Hooper facing 23 shots from Pele.
