Russia wanted to keep Ukraine as a buffer against NATO and the west. Doesn’t the same apply the other way?

Yeah, obviously fake. I’m surprised anybody would fall for that.

Their sixth goal involved three shots in succession the first two of which were saved brilliantly by Forster before Mount slammed home the third. How does XG handle a situation like that since Mount was only able to latch onto the loose ball as a direct result of the previous two shots?

But then we’d have nothing to talk about

So what’s the problem with that?

He should never have been appointed. Dreadful anti-football. I’d rather watch my toenails grow.

No I’m not. No it wasn’t. Unless you count success as sending everybody off to sleep and driving all your customers away.

NATO didn’t have to do anything. Just by being in existence it was seen as a threat by Putin and enough for him to start a war.

He missed an open goal opportunity yesterday.

Maybe that’s why he got it so wrong. But I suppose that’s what you meant.

Only one of those was at home For me, the performance yesterday was on a differ level of awfulness to the Leicesters game. In that one there were a couple of mitigations, an unjust red card, everything they hit seemed to fly into the goal. Chelsea were just operating on a different planet. It was as though they were playing a side from two or three divisions below themselves.

Perhaps he improved Moi by loaning him out? 🥴

Possibly, and we can never know, but any promise can only have been to the player himself and not to any third party. As you say, the plan might be to give him as much playing time as possible both to improve him as a player and to showcase his talents but I don’t think it’s ever a good idea for any player to think that his place in the team is guaranteed.

No, it wouldn’t have been a fluke. XG can only consider the shots that were actually taken. It can never take account of the shots that might have been taken. Chelsea took their foot off the throttle (and we were being well and truly throttled) and had they wanted to or had they needed to they could take turned the screw even further. Fortunately for us, out of respect or out of desire to play within themselves, they chose to play out the last half hour without over exerting themselves. XG can only consider the probabilities of what actually took place and not what could have taken place and is consequently a meaningless concept.

Once he’s our player it’s up to us to decide when and if he plays.

How can that be? Chelsea had 24 shots 14 of which were on target and in these also hit the bar and the post.

But it only shows that after the game is over. Doesn’t it?

I thought so too. Armstrong was putting himself about and when he did get the ball Chelsea had trouble trying to get it back off him. Very lively.

How bad would she have been without the vaccine? I hope she improves soon.

The whole focus of the club seems to have changed. They appear to have taken our Premier League status as a given and are pushing other unrelated commercial interests. The main information screens yesterday showed nothing about the game apart from the time and the score. The rest was nothing but adverts. There was quite a bit about women’s football too. All of it a distraction from the prime purpose of the club.

They must all have been nazis and this is part of his programme of de-nazification.

The simple answer is that xg is a meaningless figure.

With the best goalkeeper in the world yesterday we might have kept the score down to five. Or he may not have made any difference.

Is that due to Howe or the money that they have spent?

The players all gave up after JWP made an assist for their third with his reckless header.
