Yeah that's why the three promoted teams are gonna get relegated with the lowest cumulative total of points in PL history. The gap is so small.

2 zip!

I thought green with envy window was Fletcher and Adam Johnson?

I'm guessing they've offered a full refund, or 50% refund to keep it as it is, because they don't have any more in stock.

The Sam Fender line hit me personally - absolutely perfect @Heron. You lads are an absolute credit to the club, the city - and yourselves.

Took this yesterday, my favourite picture of the lot.

What a mint day.

Well ditto, but the hive mind of the forum might give us a decent view of where we see our competitors? It could be that actually even though we've ranked our squad as reasonably low, and we look at it on the face of it as being a squad in need or refresh, the clubs around us may be ranked similarly and we're not an outlier.

I'd love to see this same exercise done for some other teams around us, to see where the squads sit in terms of numbers of each rating. Would be a very interesting brain and statistics exercise.

Maybe more the massive delay in approvals put them off tbf.

Nobody is 'worried' about the xG battle though. It's just something that can put a statistical twist on what you saw with your eyes. Someone can look poorly, you can see they're not very well and feel hot, but if you took them to the doctor and the doctor took their temperature and said 'yep, they're too fucking hot, they have a temperature higher than the norm', you wouldn't call him a stats nonce, or whatever. They're backing up what you can see with the evidence to prove it. xG doesn't change anything or make the game any different. It's just another statistic that can help paint a picture of where a team is succeeding or failing. Score more than your xG? You probably have a striker who is fucking lethal. Score fewer than your xG? Your striker can't hit a barn door. People have always been able to see this with their eyes, now there's a statistic to show it. What's the issue?

It's a statistic that backs up what you saw with numbers. Does shots, shots on target or possession also piss you off?

Is 'Leazers' some sort of running forum joke that I've missed or do we have that many people on here who don't know what it's called?

Magnificent tonight. I fucking love this guy and always will.

Nor is it supposed to change it..it's supposed to explain it with statistics Why are you so angry against a statistic that just helps to paint a picture?
