All Activity

That's what the show Flying Doctors was all about.

Are you suggesting I'm God?

As with all stats you can manipulate the presentation to suit whatever narrative you like. Which is why I won't give it any airtime.

this is pretty much why i hate modelling data. i can be a little obsessive with perfection. let me just tweak the model and run it through again.

Racist!

I suppose the difference is, it doesn't affect the team they're playing for in the tournament.

Most likely the clubs participating are bitching that they're unable to be involved in business and therefore arguing they're at a disadvantage. Fairly certain that participation is elective and not mandatory though.

Surely God wouldn't have it any other way.

The clubs can fly their medical teams to wherever it is and do the medical in situ.

Players get signed playing in the real world cup so what's the difference?

Well there's something you don't see every day ... a league where Arsenal don't finish second.

when Saka missed that chance i had horrific flashbacks of Sterling doing the same for us

Presumably more to do with the players involved rather than specifically the clubs? I suppose it makes sense - you can't complete the transfer of a player involved in an active tournament. Begs a massive question on the timing of the event though.

This proved to be canny eh?

This is an interesting watch.

It's for clubs in the Club World Cup isn't it?

Jesus was albino, who'd have known.

Aye, its to do with the club world cup. But it only closes for 6 days I think. Whats the fucking point?

Isn't it something to appease Chelsea?! If it is it's just the latest in a fucking long line of shit those cunts get special dispensation for.

Go for a five pint lunch.

This split transfer window in June. What's the fucking point? Just open it 1st of June and leave it.

So I am currently working my notice. I asked if I could finish tomorrow, but got told 'we have a few bits on you could help us with so can you do the week after' so I agreed. Was on holiday last week, came back into work on Tuesday. I had half a morning to get through my emails I had from my holiday. About 9ish we have a resource meeting. I told main gaffers I have to clear a few bits but I am ready for the jobs they want me on. I am still waiting for these jobs and have spent since 12pm on Tuesday twiddling my thumbs These jobs they want me on, are more than a weeks worth of work so I don't see the point in me starting them as I wont finish them. So I am sat here with fuck all to do bored shitless. BUT I am getting paid I suppose

This is fucking insane. Fucking bastards coming over here, feeding our kids. Once upon a time you could rely on the Saudis to throw stones at our gays and wimmin and you could respect it. But this!? Makes me sick. Already sent a Wearside Jack style tape to my local MP.

How have they managed to analyse the exact same scenario of shot to get the result though (0.78 xg in this example)? Do you they also clock the speed of the pass and what foot (stronger or weaker) of the player it falls to? If that cross was mirrored from the right and it fell to his left side then I'd expect him to have more of a chance of scoring. I appreciate its a stats tool used but its clearly not accurate.

I’ve told you before not to butt in when the men are talking
