The other thing I’d say is people ask “would you trust Robins with the money?” I’d counter: “What about King makes you trust him with a managerial appointment?” There’s every possibility that a noob chairman has been over charged in his first dealings with other clubs. And he’s not shown...

I dunno. I didn’t see us flipping Chaplin in L1. I imagine it depends what comes up. There’s rumours around Wright who is the obvious one. Maybe a CB, maybe MvE if he doesn’t settle. Who knows. I think there would be buyers, probably abroad.

You give them the same time they’ve taken to build squads before. We didn’t hit form early in L2, first season up L1 was a misfire from a squad perspective. Agogo and Brown and Chaplin FFS. First season up in the Champ we looked dodgy as fuck until Matty James arrived. We’ve taken at least half...

First thing I ordered online was from the states and had a seven week shipping time!

He was great while no one took him seriously and there were no foreign policy issues. Once people started challenging him he falls apart. He’s spends all his time around people who agree with everything he says and has real trouble once he’s outside that bubble. That’s a deal breaker for...

What? He can play both. He’s played four times as many games ar RB over his career than WB. Last season he played 12 at WB and 20+ at RB. I couldn’t care less if he’s been signed to be an art deco paperweight, he blatantly able to play FB.

Less a diamond and more a sort of upsidedown house?

I am and I can show you the excel tracking sheet to prove it!

Wasn’t Rwanda the latter?

I don’t know the ins and outs of each model, I’m not sure if that info is available. Someone like @Frostie might know. I doubt the models update game by game, though maybe. But generally there’s no link. The idea is to capture whether you’re missing/scoring more than you “should” over a...

Exactly. If you’ve got a topic that can elicit a viral response from a politician you push it. And while Starmer blusters and bothers, Corbyn gets angry and aggressive and more importantly the range of topics on which he does so is far wider and more controversial than Starmer’s.

To give a toy example. Imagine all shots are equal. We live in a fantasy land with no defenders or goal keepers and each ball is hit from a dead ball. All players are equally good with whatever foot they’re using as each other. So the only variable that matters is where the shot is taken from...

So like any model of the real world it’s boiled down into a set of features the modeller thinks is important. At a basic level that feature is “what’s the probability that this attempt at goal goes in?” And you might for a super simple model take just the x, y coordinates on the pitch. But we...

Sheaf has played CB before and IIRC did OK, but memory is hazy

I dunno, I don’t watch Leicester and Ipswich. But I do think we’ve missed more than usual and let in more silly goals than usual. Which is basically what xG is saying. Our general play hasn’t been as bad as our results, despite the wailing and gnashing on here.

They’ll definitely rebound from where they are now. I’m just not sure they can convincingly play moderates to the public after the last few years. But who knows, people tend to tune out between elections.

I wish

Starmer has repeatedly called Hamas terrorists. That’s why there aren’t any viral videos to be had asking him that question. Instead you ask him what a woman is.

Just go and find someone who likes you or do the basic work to make your personality not so repellant that the people you are desperate to like you can actually tolerate you for five minutes. Genuine advice. Take it or leave it, you’re on mute now.

Wonder if there was some heads up on that and that’s why Braverman went really.
