Not cameo camel toe

 

[Covkid1968#]

That's not me, by the way.

Bloody expensive, I can tell you. And with a name like Otis, I should know

Always think of you when I get in a lift to be fair.

You or Otis Reading.

correct, the double v Fulham , the 4-1 v sheff U, Middlesbrough, Wolves, Man U all come to mind . How much was him, how much was Adi god knows but they are both doing v well without each other

Leicester, Leeds in 2024.

By the way i just seen this on twitter .. weve scored 39 goals already remember that

 

[fernandopartridge]

Here is a broad range of our statistics:

I think it's fair to say that we are doing very well on most metrics

Not that we needed these figures to prove it

Interestingly we are just at threatening away from home as we are at home

 

[Skyblueweeman]

How many chances does he get if he carries on ghosting through games?

I mean, he's 3rd top scorer in the division with 3 most goals per 90 mins so he retains his spot until the sh!t proper hits the fan.

He does a lot of decent work off the ball and defensively. Whilst we're still on a hot streak, you don't change a losing side.

If we lose 3-4 on the spin and he's not scoring, then that's the time to drop.

I wonder how much of that is skewed by the Derby and Sheff Weds games?

Frank Vs Stoke.

Let's pull this one out of the archives

It's a joy to have Frank. Proper passionate and loves to show it. We've not had too many like him.

 

[djr8369]

but surely, they are arbitrary figures, who decides what is a hard chance and what isn't?

See this is the root cause of your skepticism, you don’t understand how they are generated but briefly no, they are not arbitrary.

xG is based on the statistical likelihood of scoring based on the position on the pitch the shot was taken. A shot within a few yards of goal has a high xG, 0.7 maybe, you could still blaze it over but on average you’re more than likely to score than not.

Stoke won a game 1-0 with a shot with an xG of 0.01. It was from far out and wide, presumably a cross that drifted in. So yeah, in an individual games it just tells you how good the chances you created were but over the course of a season things will revert to the mean.

Frank Vs Stoke.

There is a bit of history there I think, unsure what though - They were absolutely peltering him at The CBS last season and he proper gave it back to them when we scored the last minute winner

Then again, this is the fanbase who spent years booing Aaron Ramsay for having the cheek and audacity to be crocked by their captain, so it could be anything

Why is 0% losses in red??

 

[Briles]

Here's a strange one on the subject of lifts......................... in Rugby Centre, there's a lift that only goes to the top floor of the carpark, but it has BRAILLE on the buttons!!!!! WTF?

The Braille is probably to let them know its a lift and not a traffic light

 

[fernandopartridge]

Some nice comments on "not a championship player" Jamie Allen from Frank here

 

[Offhegoes]

Game not on ifollow it seems (for the US anyway).

 

[MikeyMoo]

Either that or a narrow win / loss. That covers all possible outcomes right?

Nope! Game cancelled due to lightning strikes, terror attacks, flooding, deep fog, riots inside or outside stadium, lots of results that are neither 0-0 nor close nor a spanking!

 

[MikeyMoo]

I forgot, a pandemic that closes the league at this point. Team currently on top declared champions.

Nah, can't see that ever happening in my lifetime

That’s a good thread!
Have been listening to the naked diplomat the guy Tom fellowes writes well
Written 10 years ago so you can see some of what he talked about happening or not

 

[StrettoBoy]

Why is 0% losses in red??

Possibly to confuse people like me who are red/green colour blind

 

[SkyBlueChris]

Got an over 65 ticket going spare if anyone wants to buy it, DM me

I'm after 1 more if its still available!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Why is 0% losses in red??

I assume it’s because the conditional formatting has lower numbers as ‘bad’

Don’t be daft, that could never happen.

 

[Gibbo]

Always thought this would be a tough fixture. It's going to be a cagy one niller either way imho. Just hope we can nick it

EMC back in the starting line up, I assume at the expense of Eccles as BTA is undropable

Cameo from Rudi

Did anybody else here use the Paternoster lift in the GEC/Marconi site at Beeston. Such fun.

 

[WillenhallSkyBlues]
