Now you're being childish. "Shackled by having to pass backwards" would perhaps more realistic.

Aaron Ramsdale - Official: Loaned to Newcastle

Exactly! Far too many variables. And here's one for the real statisticians. Why, after a match, does the xG differ so much from the actual number of goals? There will be some who will try to say that the difference is meaningful and that useful information can be gleaned from it. But the same is often said about tealeaves. Or chicken entrails. -

He's nowhere near the best, and he's not the worst. Whichever, we need better. -

Don't you dare try to patronise me you little bead of naivety. Xg is meaningless. That's why it's never been used before. I know perfectly well how electronic tickets are supposed to work. They will work most of the time, just like any modern technology. But the time will come when they don't. -

You could not be more wrong. It's completely subjective. And done from a video signal no less. 'Similar chances'? Who compares the similarities? It's all bollocks. -

I know what it's supposed to mean but as statistics go it's as meaningless and arbitrary as it could be. It's all down to the interpretation and bias of the person making up the figures. -

What the hell is 'negative xG' ? Whatever it is it has nothing to do with football. He wasn't brilliant but he was nowhere near as bad as you make him out to have been. He was an important part of a team that finished in the playoffs. -
And if he did they'd leak.

We are not going to renew but will take out a membership each. I've tried looking on the club website but seem to be blocked out from certain pages. Are we going to have to wait until we haven't renewed?

Could that gave been counter-propaganda?

I don't actually dislike him but he was way out of his depth.

A back six? We're heading in the wrong direction.

I don't think he is. I think we bought the wrong player.

My sad played against Ghana on Hackney Marshes when they were still called The Gold Coast. My mum said that the Africans didn't have any kit and had to borrow everything including boots
