  1. Saints fans via Reading to Paddington and Pompey to Waterloo i'd imagine. After the game would be a nightmare though with both sets of fans trying to get down that road to the same tube station.
  2. They'd probably be pissing themselves laughing at the Met having to manage it.
  3. Can't see anything in the link about any "ultras" kind of stuff but I did only quickly glance. Just sounds like they want to get fans together for a drink every so often to build some familiarity and get chants more widely known before getting into the stadium which doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.
  4. Yep, but just think of the profit we'll make when he's finally cut those mistakes out and is wanted by a Prem side!
  5. I get the sentiment but even if all three of those teams had their 6 points deductions last season we'd have still comfortably finished bottom.
  6. Promotion race going right to the wire.
  7. It is sad, but it's very easy to not care about money and just lock yourself away when you have enough of it to never have to worry about rent or bills being unpaid.
  8. I bet this forum was a nightmare when that happened.
  9. Algorithm Vs model is just arguing semantics, we both mean exactly the same thing. And AI is absolutely used to work out XG. No human interpretation at all, it's simple maths. Striker receives a ball on the penalty spot, takes a touch and shoots right footed with no defenders between him and the goal. How many times has that sort of chance been created, how many times has it been scored, how many times has it been missed, computer uses all the information from the past to work out the likelihood that it would be scored and that gives the XG value, regardless of whether it is actually scored or not. Someone COULD sit down and work out the XG for themselves, but at the volume it's happening across so many leagues and it being so readily available as the game progresses it requires a much faster processing speed than the human brain can manage.
  10. Nonsense. No point trying to explain it to you, you dismiss it out of hand probably because you refuse to put in the necessary effort to understand it. New fangled technology. All I'll say is if you look back through results on flashscores, for every team that scored over their X.G there's a team that scored under it.
  11. No, that's literally how the XG stats are calculated. It's how likely a chance is to be scored based on similar chances being scored or not in the past and the only way to work that out is using AI as it would be impossible for a human to sit down and look at that amount of data in such a short time frame.
  12. Most likely, yes. All these stats are worked out using crazy AI algorithms using hundreds of thousands of data points from decades of football games.
  13. Seems a little on the low side, we're only 6 points behind with a game in hand and we play all three of the sides above us.
  14. Xg is different to the XgC stat for keepers. Expected goals is the likelihood a player will score in a certain situation, taking into account position, angle of shot, type of pass played and position of defence and keeper (and a lot more). XgC is about the likelihood of a keeper making a save from a certain type of shot. The two stats won't perfectly align because a low Xg chance like a shot from the edge of the box first time like we saw against Sunderland, would also be a low chance of the keeper saving once it took the massive deflection. What the stat posted shows is that Bazunu has conceded more chances that statistically goalkeepers would normally save than any other keeper in the league.
