xG - how good the chance was. If you took a shot from that chance 100 times, how likely is it that it would end up a goal. E.g. a penalty is scored 70/100 and so has an xG value of 0.7 Post shot xG - how good the shot was. If you took that shot 100 times, how likely is it that it would end up a goal. E.g. put the ball into the top corner farthest from the keeper , high PSxG. Dribble a shot straight down the keepers throat, low PSxG. So say a keeper keeps loads of clean sheets. You do a little digging and see that he faces a low xG because his team doesn't give up a lot of good quality chances, but the shots he lets in are low in quality, low PSxG. Turns out despite all those clean sheets, he's not a keeper you want. Ideally you want a keeper that makes saves despite facing high value shots. So you want a larger positive difference between PSxG and goals allowed.

He'll be off to join Reform now. That's the career path isn't it?

What he should do, is not present as a cunt and maybe the manager will put their match on one of the TVs? Works for me when I want the Newcastle game on instead of one of the Manchester clubs.

What utter horseshit.

If Joelinton does stay I think that makes Bruno more likely to hang around to be honest.

RIP Essembee

The defence of Bruce aside, I think he's all right. Got a personality trait where he'll act the cunt just for the fun of it, and who here hasn't done that?

Did he have a rotisserie chicken dangling from a headband? Y'know to encourage him to run?

The only upside to estate agents is you don't have to have fucking weirdos try to sell you their own house through companies like Purple Bricks. Gen Pop is an asylum

Angus Deayton? Debbie McGee?

Which makes his appointment (twice!) all the more infuriating. It was pretty obvious he wasn't working with all the puzzle pieces.

Aye, I think what's most entertaining is that this random bloke has decided to make it his life's mission to establish a deep connection between the two clubs. Despite the fact neither club's history agrees, and more importantly, nobody cares. Imagine Quiff insisting some Newcastle fans created Santos while on their gap year. It'd be weird, false and pathetic. Which would be apposite, I guess.

Our goal difference is a huge plus. 14 better than Man Utd, 17 better than West Ham and 10 better than Chelsea. Honestly think if we take points off Man Utd, we're in pole position for 6th spot.

1-2 loss. Bring on your gifs

Been listening to the greek Myths and Heroes stuff by Stephen Fry. That stuff still fascinates me, same as the Norse pantheon. Probably why I like the Superhero stuff now, they're just modern Gods and Demigods. Back to the mackens, they're closer to Huddersfield in 22nd than they are Norwich in 6th.

Etymologically sounds about right. Phileo - love. Delphia - whatever that means. Wonder if it's owt to do with Delphi?

Didn't realise it was named after New York, New York. Apparently there was another village called Philadelphia as well.

Maybe he means the New York near the Silverlink?

I guess it's not too dissimilar to us watching Soccer Saturday? But for the bellend generation?

That's 5pts dropped from winning positions, in added time, in the last 4 days.

It's pretty funny that as soon as sufficient clubs run foul of the rules by spending too much, the rules are set to change. Kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing.

Got to say Arsenal have the toughest run in, so it looks like it's up to Man City to stop the Scouse circle jerk.

Agreed, we should sign him.
