market-toulouse?source=user-shared-article Good article about how Toulouse have employed data to pluck players from other countries that have had huge success for them in France. They mention how the data is used first and foremost and scouts are used just to fill out the details that the stats can't, ie their style of tackling. Can you hear me @PaddockLad cc @The Fish I'm sure Ashworth is all over this kind of stuff anyway, but a club trying to do what we're doing could save ourselves a fortune. Maybe this is exactly what they've done with the new lad Isak. I’ve read Moneyball, Soccernomics & The Nowhere Men. I’ve a basic grasp of how data works in modern day talent identification and player recruitment. So me saying xG is utter bollocks that tells punters the square root of fuck that isn't observable to anyone with a pair of eyes, at an actual game (tbf, from what I can make out you & Dave aren’t regulars, may explain a few things ) and being in possession of an average number of brain cells isn’t me suggesting stats have no place in the game., they very much do and there likely isn’t a professional club in the country that hasn’t used them for these purposes for the best part of 20 years. Hope that’s clear for you now

No I’m not

Aldridge played for Soceidad back in the day and said at the end there that a lot of people in San Sebastián aren’t happy about Isak leaving… if he needs to improve parts of his game he’s signing for the right manager

Your names not on that tbh Dave and it’s from January. You do this every time mate. It’s not hurting us but we can all see this behaviour is definitely hurting you . DM me x

🤔

His brother could croon a canny tune back in the day too…. 😎

Fuck knows if we were ever in for him but I think the Wilson situation changes the end of this window. Lots of West Ham reckon that Moyes doesn’t trust flair players very much and isn’t sure what to do with them. I think there’s something in that so hopefully this is the dildo sellers going above his head for a marquee summer window signing that their manager won’t be too keen on…

That was my first thought, this lad is a centre forward/striker/9/central attacker/finisher/target/roamer #deleteasappropriatedaveooyafuckinbeauty

CT: Mike Ashley is a football genius Also CT: The new NUFC regime are making me feel disappointed

🤷🏻‍♂️

Two things: 1. what the fuck do you think you were watching on Sunday? 2. You personally are entitled to hold that opinion but you don’t set targets aims or ambitions for NUFC, we now have highly skilled professionals to do that . That renders your opinion as null, void and fairly worthless. Have some faith. actually… 3. ITS NOT FUCKIN FOOTBALL MANAGER

Isn’t Carabao Brazilian red bull?….

When someone shows you who they are, believe them…

Who’s the journo?

If there’s one season to make an assault on the last 8 of the league cup it’s this one…the World Cup break skews everything…

Howe legendary at Bournemouth for not taking cups seriously, you’ll be able to look up his record and probably comments from their supporters too

I think it’s a great idea… every episode full of in jokes about sitters,standers, Leazes Mag, Stevie, roombas and hoverboards, with a massive verbal punch up at the end, after which Rayvin apologises to the subscribers

Happy 60th birthday Shaun William Ryder

What a completely unexpected surprise

It’s a fuckin heavy metal fuckin toilet tbh, Crows Nest is a beer conniseur’s favourite establishment ☺️ (the clock is where the heart of the 1980s Gallowgate Emd resides, it’s spiritual home 🙏)

This post suggests you’re on earlies tomorrow and not in the Percy drinking your own body weight in Smirnoff, which is a shame

I’ve just broken off from my Proper Job Cornish IPA & Aperol Spritz revels to suggest that we’ll have a starter in the World Cup in November. That is all .
