Do AI bots interbreed? It would explain a lot.

There was a comment in another game the other night, ”Nobody wants the ball and when they get it they don’t know what to do with it”

For the Premier League perhaps but for League One they are probably above average,

That happened some while ago.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Whitey Grandad replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
It’s not free money. These pensioners have made contributions over their working lives. I have had many friends, colleagues and relatives who never even lived long enough to receive a state pension. To describe pensioners as either needy or greedy is deeply insulting. Those whom you describe as ‘needy’ have not made their own provision for their old age. Those whom you call ‘greedy’ have made sacrifices when younger just to be punished for doing so now. Why not describe it as taking from the thrifty to give to the shifty? The fuel allowance was part of the state pension. Removing it amounts to a cut of over 3%. By all means add it to the basic pension when it would be subject to Income Tax but in no way is it a ‘free gift’. In any case, UK pensions are among the lowest in the industrialised world. Successive governments have recognised this and encouraged people and employers to make their own provisions for their old age. Having done so pensioners are seen as a source of ‘free money’. Why shouldn’t your Mum treat herself to a holiday wherever she chooses? Attitudes such as you display here are despicable. -
We’d still lose 3-4 🥺

Don’t you mean ‘just those who pissed and gambled away all their money and made no provisions for their later years’ ? -
Pity. Something else that we’re not very good at.

Let's be honest, if any of us were the manager we wouldn't be in this situation ☺️

65 now with 11 games to go. Goals needed per game are coming down. 🤗

Man-marking is not a team game. It's a bunch of individuals playing in the same shirts.

This is what happens when you put a businessman in charge of a government. They are supposed to work for the people and not the other way around. This is politics. You can’t hire and fire the electorate.

61 conceded so far with 12 games to go. That would require slightly over 3 goals conceded per game. At the current rate, sure, no problem.
-
I’m not even sure that we have a formation.
-
I could agree with you but then we’d both be wrong. It all depends on what the respective players’ aims are.
-
More likely shell shock.

87 goals is the only figure that matters. Chances created and certainly xG are figments of somebody’s imagination.

But he wasn’t ’bested’, was he? Of all his teammates JWP was the first there by a long way.

I don’t bet. It’s bad enough running a small business anyway.

“Papieren bitte!”

He sounds ideal.

Then I suggest that you look at the criteria regarding ‘shots on goal’. You might even be surprised. “Furthermore, blocked shots by other players also do not register as shots on target, unless that person is the last man in the defence.”

He’s been out too long for any sort of sparkling return. It’s usually reckoned that you need at least ten games to get match fit. -
You’re not the only one. The players have too.
