Probably, but that figure would almost certainly be an amount no remotely sane person would even consider paying.

I think there could be a rule that a clubs owners can't split ownership of a stadium and the club itself, so they can't sell the stadium to pay off debts. If a club can't pay its debts over time it has to be put up for sale INCLUDING the stadium, and the prospective owners HAS to take it on with...

As long as the team are under the understanding that a particular player is just in the team to score goals and the others will have to make up the slack. Then that striker (I don''t think you could put two on just to score goals - it'd leave too much for everyone else and the egos would make it...

I agree - 5 a side really does help with a few things technique wise - passing, shooting early and on-target even if you are much closer to the goal to begin with (although the goals are smaller as well). Only thing it doesn't really help with are stamina and spatial/tactical awareness on a...

Can't believe it's serious. I suppose some lawyer, cash-up-front would take it on knowing it'll be laughed out of court (if it got that far. If it is, I really hope his mum and dad countersue him for potential loss of earnings, upkeep costs stress and emotional damage. They didn't ask for HIM...

Some of those graphs do, because they use actual not expected data. The last one using expected goals for and expected goals against has us performing much better than we actually are. It only has any worth if you then compare it against actual goals for/against. 1.19 actual goals against per...

No idea why he brought it up at all. Does seem like quite an extreme reaction, especially for the length of time, to just go out looking for revenge on anyone and that shouldn't be tolerated. Anger I can understand. Revenge against the perpetrator I can understand. Revenge against anyone at all...

If they're scoring off every drive, yes. That Rams-Chiefs game was an exception though because both teams were doing it. You were expecting them to score but it was incredible to watch. I prefer a more even game where they'll score a TD, next drive have to punt, then get a FG, then get...

But it took quite a few things going 'wrong' in the way he wanted to play before he did actually change it. It didn't come across as a willingness to try something different it was more an absolute lack of choice with what was available. Start of this season when he'd done some recruitment and...

I sort of agree with you, but part of the problem is that the players know that the manager will get the heave rather than them (who will at a minimum get to run their contract down) and so can cause problems for a manager they don't like by causing unrest until he's fired. That for me is one...

I agree with Nick. I can understand how before a game xG could be useful in a bookies type situation but after a game it's irrelvant - the expected number of goals in that game after the match is how many you ended up scoring. For me, xG is only useful if you plot it against actual goals -...

Yeah. As much I enjoy a points fest (Rams-Chiefs etc) these games can be enthralling in their own right. You wonder how long can a team keep that level up for. And I'd prefer either of those to a one-sided blowout - often fall asleep during those because they're so boring and predicatable.

For myself, the biggest reason would be tiredness. I'm not a natural athlete and that fatigue can just get you to skew a shot. But in shooting drills in training I'd expect to get everything on target, with either foot, even if the keeper saved it. Even stuff like volleys I'd be expecting the...

He did seem to show far more strength at the back than up front, where in a lot of those challenges he'd have just fallen on his backside. I can't help but think his skillset is better suited to a CB, but his ego and personality unfortunately isn't.

Has Eli done himself and the Giants a favour and retired yet? He really ought to - it's becoming a bit embarrassing now.

Undoubtedly best team won - totally outclassed the Rams and should feel lucky it didn't end up a rout. Got their defence to thank for that and how they kept that level up despite spending so much time on the pitch is a massive achievement. Think I'm right in saying only one redzone possession...

Quite a few of the games recently have been against teams towards the bottom of the league, albeit some had gone on a decent run of results just prior to playing us. When we get back to playing the top 6 we'll somehow manage to get three points, I'm sure of it.

I'm all for looking at transfers with one eye on the future (even though at this level it's a hiding to nothing as any that do come good are off sharpish and you're out looking again) but if you're going to spend decent money (for this league) on strikers as a manager you'd have to make sure at...

That's a huge H&S violation! How did they all fit in - people standing on the concourse with people on their shoulders and people on their shoulders like an acrobatic troupe?
