https://archive.ph/kBo6V So pleased he didn't go back to Italy on loan during the January window. Some prediction, that.

Relentless consistency will be the issue for a title challenge, and it's something we've yet to display over an extended period, but if you look at a form table for the last 15 games, it looks like this: If we really have turned some sort of psychological corner, next season could be canny exciting. Especially if we strengthen significantly in the summer.

He's weird as fuck like. Messaging lasses to ask if he can inseminate them and talking about his many offspring as "a legion". Proper oddball.

Away and shite. I'd be dancing around him, raining punches down on his fucking slap head and his baked potato nose.

The Venn diagram of shit punners and xG thick fucks is close to a circle.

Done. Takes next to no time btw for anyone wavering. And there are no gotcha questions.

Shut up Dougie.

Shearer is one of the biggest eye rollers every time xG is mentioned, the bellend.

All I know is if Isak should score 75% of chances like last night's and Schar should be "shot with shit" for not scoring last night's header 3 out of 4 times, we can look forward to Isak breaking Shearer's NUFC goal record hopefully within the next season and a half, and Schar should be a comfortable second in all time NUFC scorers. We should probably win the league with a goal difference of about +300 next season as well, which will be canny. It's actually really weird that both of these haven't already happened using Toonpack's "Simple really, my eyes don't lie" model.

Depends on the model. Some just look at the position, others look at the relative positions of defenders, the keeper, etc.

"Simple really" You seem to be having an awful lot of trouble wrapping your head around it though. Read toonotl's post from a page or two back where he goes through Palace's chances and their xG score. Unless you're just here to pontificate and look daft.

"My eyes are the only thing I need for advanced statistical modelling." Alreet Alan Brazil.

75%. You're just ridiculous. Same as your patter about Schar's header. Begone.

Aye it was Schar.

I mean what are you even fucking talking about.

Toonpack's kinda people chatting Newcastle.

Simpleton, aye. They would also subscribe to my only fans if I had one though, so that works too.

As I've explained on multiple occasions, it's not about my expectations or anybody else's. It's not a matter of opinion. Nor is it about Isak specifically. I'm done talking about this with you. Either you're stupid or you're pretending to be, the experience for the person talking to you about it is the same.

Basically what MF is saying is I know what I'm talking about. If one of the fucking simps pipes up, they're gone. I support this.

Those probabilities are based on tens of thousands of actual real world shots/headers from actual real world games, from those exact same positions on the pitch. So you can disagree as much as you like, but you're wrong on the facts. This isn't about your opinion or the opinion of whoever came up with those xG scores.

To be clear, I'm not calling trans women "creepy blokes". Or suggesting they're rapists. I'm just saying that fear is irrational and women have been given ample reason to fear. As, by the way, have trans people. I'm sure there are other people, some of them women, a lot of them blokes, for whom this is just another battle to win. Like not wearing masks during covid, etc. And they can fuck off.

I can totally understand women fearing the idea of this being used by creepy rapists etc. And you can say it's irrational based on the evidence, I'm sure it is, but then fear is irrational. And it's not like women have nothing to fear from creepy blokes. I keep out of it cos it's not really my place to say how any sides in this argument should be feeling. I do wish, in the most shitty, simplistic way imaginable that everyone could just get to be who they want to be without people being a cunt about it. It's why I still think the likes of Rowling are fucking reprehensible cos that was just a very famous woman with a massive platform who at times seemed to genuinely be enjoying punching down and instigating pile-ons. I think she's a nasty piece of work.

I genuinely think the cup final has flipped a switch for the club. We went to Wembley and we battered the best team in the country and won comfortably, and now it looks like we're taking that into every game we play. Obviously you can't win every game, and we might even lose our next one, but I still think there's been a change somewhere. Last night was exactly the sort of game we usually either lose or win by 1 goal and it's nervy as fuck. We started like a train and were out of sight by half time. That's the sort of thing big, confident clubs do, and that isn't usually us.

I have no problem believing this.
