Goals scored. It might be an integer but what does it actually mean?
What does it indicate about what is going to happen in the next 5 minutes of a game or the next 30 minutes? The impetus of a game can change in a second and no amount of data will tell you when or how it will happen.
It is just data for data's sake.

In this thread people who are upset they have to reckon with being shit at maths again after they’d convinced themselves they wouldn’t feel like that since leaving school and attending the University of Life.

What a great result that was. Second half was dull but that’s fine if you win 2-0. Great goals as well, especially Rudoni’s. No real stand out performances today either which says a lot about team effort. The to watch the results later and everything falling our way is the icing on the excellent cake. Who knows what will happen for the rest of the season? But we can enjoy the next couple of days at the top of the table by 3 points. PUSB

Another usual day on here. Brilliant day all round that reduces into a silly argument over xG.

It is just a tool to give an idea of how easy or difficult the chances created were. Sometimes it looks accurate to the scoreline but other times it can be miles away. Better quality players will normally beat the xG and lower quality players won't. When we beat QPR at the start of the season 7-1 our xG was only 1.11, but the majority of our shots went in.

Great result yesterday, it was important to follow up Boro with another win. Albion really offered very little so once we went two up I was confident it was done.

Massive game now Wednesday, if we can pick up three points there I’d thrilled. Hopefully Wednesday get a victory today and knock Blades confidence.

I thought we looked more like the team from October/ November yesterday. Back to playing the ball around better, not panicking at the back, not trying too many long cross field balls. Players looking sharp and hungry again. Very encouraging 🤞

That has got to be the most comfortable 3 points we, or any other side will have away from home this season (I am not really counting anyone’s games against Sheffield Wednesday)

The opposition were absolutely dross, you don’t expect much from fourth from bottom in the League naturally but I did not expect them to be quite that bad - without a doubt the worst W.B.A side I have ever seen us play and all the hallmarks of a squad of football players who will be relegated led by a rookie coach

Great to see Rudi back on the scoresheet, last week and yesterday he is starting to look like the player we saw at the back end of last season again

Didn’t go or see the game yesterday as we were riding around in a Limo as it was my mums 80th birthday. Maybe I should go on the CWR phone in or fancast to give my views 😁
Sounded like we didn’t need to get out of second gear with one eye on Wednesday night which we will be at as the Limo has now gone back. 😝 A really good week for us as we have taken care of our business and others have done us a favour.

I wasn't that impressed with us tbh, but it was a strange game. We barely had to lift a finger given we took an early lead.

West Brom need to get rid of Ramsay asap or they're going down. They have a decent squad, the right manager would sort them out fairly easily I think.

Ramsay doesn’t have a clue. I don’t get the appeal of hiring MLS managers at all. Particularly for struggling clubs as they don’t have to fight relegation over there.

Bizarre comment

You can't see how it's hard to take you seriously when you've talked about believing conspiracy theories a bunch of times incl. anti-Semitic ones?

'I don't believe a sport which has its results measured in numbers can have the events that lead directly to those results represented by numbers'.

'I believe Jews run the world because I read about it on the internet and / or watched a video. I tell other people on the internet that Jews rule the world.'

You dismiss a widely used statistical model based on probably billions of data points but you'll go all in on theories perpetuated by Nazis. It's weird.

Absolute nonsence.

Never seen a manager look as petrified as he did every time the camera cut to him.

If you seriously think we have walked on the moon, ive got some magic beans to sell you!

Oh and dont forget to get your next covid booster 🤣🤣🤣

How do you decide which science you believe and which you don’t? Do you believe in germ theory? The heliocentric model of the solar system? Gravity?

Alternatively are there any YouTube conspiracy theories you don’t believe in? Do you accept birds are real? Is Tupac really dead?

West Brom look screwed. I’m amazed they haven’t fired Ramsay today. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights.

Taxi is likely for Robins next Saturday if their run carries on. Dyche will be in by Monday
