Decent week for Man Utd the utter fuckin cunts 😏

He’s fuckin offside tonight

I think Targett is decent to average….Howe is going to want an upgrade. Someone of Tierney’s level if not his fitness record….

She’s also an anti lockdown headbanger in a relationship with Reform Party leader Richard Tice. If Hancock made mistakes during the Covid crisis it would appear that he’s learned the square root of fuck all from them

Treachery in Murdoch/Barclay media land?? YOURE FUCKING SHITTING ME GLOOM??!!

Fontaine scored 13 goals in six games at the World Cup in Sweden in 1958…. but it was also the tournament where Pele broke through… RIP

Someone said the club should buy the land that the BBC studios sits on. Knock that down and apparently there’s enough room for a spurs style mega stadium.. make Gallowgate/ Barrack Road into a tramway to get punters from the boozers to the ground & back double quick 👍

Is she in Johnson’s “gang”?… looks like a concerted effort to spread blame or to take the focus off the NIP where it’s just been proved that Johnson royally fucked everyone over…

It has its place but so does capital punishment and incest 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah it was weird when the consultant started talking about figures…”we’d like to offer you this treatment Rob, it’s really effective for your specific type of asthma but it is rather a lot of money…..” Apparently I was worth enough to society to get approved for it… others may disagree

My alcohol consumption is nowadays decided by my asthma medication, basically an epi pen to the gut once every 4 weeks @Renton you might know something about it?? https://www.nucala.com I often can’t finish a second pint, physically it won’t go down my throat, hence margaritas at 10am on Sunday (special occasion obvs) This started when I started on this new asthma drug about 18 months ago. A few months ago the current Mrs PL said she hadn’t seen me pissed in about a year which was true, but I fuckin showed her what was what the day of the Bournemouth game earlier this month, all the goons from Newcastle were down and a load of mates from Poole came pre match too so I was drinking whisky in two rounds, went straight home and we had the neighbours round where I proceeded to get smashed on huge home made negronis (I like a cocktail nowadays ) Spent Sunday entirely in my dressing gown dozing on the couch, catching furious looks from TCMPL who was expecting us to go to her mothers Hope things get better soon @Craig

Am in no one’s coop on here, captain fuckin cock

Yeah Gemmill had to be punching down on someone, as per, it’s as natural as breathing to him

Daft fucker Gemmill started it this morning, 7 day ban? So Dave’s stat based analysis is the only valid way of seeing things? @Andrew shut this place down, put the Patreon money on black or red

People are saying stuff that is borne out in the stats without the need to resort to them though Dave Its not bollocks, but it is largely irrelevant….

I think he’ll be able to do that by just watching the games mate. Someone mentioned lack of shots in this thread earlier or yesterday and I agree, neither of us resorted to xG, we didn’t need to. This is the point, xG is 80% observable. Yes anomalies to prove underlying points will occur but not enough to make it that valuable. You lot can’t agree today on it and KSG posted an article doubting its effectiveness too. Shall we just agree it all a load of fuckin old bollocks?

What does Eddie Howe do with his xG stats to improve the team?

No one can agree on how to interpret xG? What a completely unexpected surprise

There was someone called Tom McGurk on the radio yesterday, @ewerk might be familiar with him. He says this deal won’t fly with the DUP who have no intention of returning to a Stormont where they’re going to lose their majority at the next election and therefore Sinn Fein will appoint the next first minister. He said it’s either EU alignment or Stormont, but they’re not getting both. Downing Street have slapped the PM down on this with a “clarification” James O’Brien has been great this morning, he thinks it’s a really big deal. DUP seem to hold the key though?

Yeah we’ve no chance of winning but it’s the money the champions league brings in that would be the most significant thing for me, the standard of player we could attract etc. Am like you, more than happy with the progress we’ve made. But if we don’t finish top 4 I think its fair to say that it’s a missed opportunity that may be difficult to repeat, especially next season and f we’re in the Thursday/Sunday slot 👍

I think the point that kills me is them playing 8 games to our 4 before the final and still winning fairly comfortably, they’d put Barca out of Europe on Thursday night ffs. They’re going to be a very decent side next season. There’s a gobshite on twitter who is never happy about anything . We might as well still be owned by Ashley for him. Thing is more often than not he’s right-ish. He said one thing that made me think a couple of weeks ago. Whilst complaining furiously about the transfer window he said this may be our best chance to finish in the top four for a few seasons. There’s a good chance that is true iyam., especially due to our lack of activity in the window (am not complaining btw, just stating the situation) Chelsea will sign a striker in the summer obviously. Spurs are still up there despite being overwhelmingly average . We’ll have to see if the perception that we were being made to wait for targets to become available is accurate and obviously FFP is going to be important. And then you’ve got possible takeovers at Man Utd & Liverpool. It’s not going to be easy & this possibly was our best chance….

You started it We don’t need xG. I think it’s for those less confident in their opinions

But he verbalised an irrelevant measurement perfectly. Strange that, being able to tell what’s happening on the pitch by actually watching the game 😀
