Yeah, in the same sense that normal people and flat earthers can't agree on the shape of the planet.

I mean it's not intended for you to tot it up and celebrate high xG chances during the game. Flailing tbh.

Ffs. xG not equalling actual goals scored doesn't make it an inaccurate measure. I'm running out of ways to explain this to you.

That's the same question that I answered. Honestly the resistance to accept that this is a valid measure is ridiculous.

Why are the xG and actual score often not the same? Because players can miss gilt edged chances and score worldies. I'm not here to convert you BTW. This isn't a "believing" issue. It's statistical probability.

i know it CAN happen.

Aye Man United will qualify through the league so their Carabao Cup Europa Conference League spot will go to the league instead. I'm not worried about us dropping lower than 6th tbh.

I dont think we are, are we? League Cup runners up don't get the spot.

Seems to me that a statement like that should come with some evidence. Seems to me like it absolutely won't.

Lads look, you don't believe in statistical measures, I don't believe in fairies. Let's focus on our common ground instead of our differences.

Oh lordy.

You're right, Craig still doesn't understand what xG is measuring.

Brexit hardman wears Morten Harket wrist bands cos he had a Brexit breakdown. Fuck this self regarding cunt.

It was fucking shite mind. If I was one of her followers it would have ruined my wank, and I wouldn't have been back.

95% certain the bloke on the bench is @wykikitoon

The reality is that we're still a club in the early stages of transition. And you get a few months a year, and only one month within the season to implement the transition plan. So at any one time outside of transfer windows, that's what we're going to look like. A freeze frame of a club that is undergoing massive change. That'll be especially the case in the second half of the season where you gets the bits of business done in the January that you can. Sometimes you'll look like you've fucked up, but it's just cos you can't neatly iterate a version of what the finished article will look like.

I'm looking forward to starting next season with a better first team. And hopefully new sponsorship deals mean we can start stepping on the gas a bit with the spending. Almiron, Burn, ASM, Ciggy. All priority upgrades. If Wilson doesn't get his shit together quick, the same goes for him.

We weren't plucky losers. We were the better side but didn't take what limited chances we had. The "start of the journey, there'll be more chances" stuff is what we can all genuinely believe. I don't really know what the alternative reaction looks like tbh. Figuratively punching holes in the forum wall isn't going to help.

They're not even gonna make the playoffs in the Championship and us getting beat in a cup final was the highlight of their fucking year. The smalltime pricks still don't understand that stuff like this is a big part of why they're so shit. Their massive failures don't matter as long as we fail sometimes too. They're genuinely pathetic.

I hope the Glazers stick around mind. Us getting taken over and leaving clowns like that in the dust won't be helped if they suddenly get a load of Qatari money in.

The real main event of the day is only just getting started. SANDWICH TIME!

Put it off, I'm not watching that lot celebrate. I thought we were good tbf. Game played out as I feared it would. We were toothless in attack and they took their chances. We were much the better side though, and whilst that doesn't matter when you lose a cup final, it matters for the rest of the season.

Ten Hag is an absolute jockey.

Get in Schar. Love a bit of argy bargy and Schar sticking up for his teammates.

Our fans are mint.
