I'm just here to argue about sports (especially rugby) and music.



Bit annoying we finally got a good Hale End defender and it was when our defence was the most stacked 😭

Possession-adjusted defensive statistics were a big part of my early introduction to football analytics: the idea that you need to correct for team dominance when comparing centre-backs felt obvious. Everyone used it and I, personally, never questioned it. So we tested it at STATSWING. 431 centre-backs, two seasons, every reasonable way to measure how dominant a team is. And it turns out the relationship the adjustment assumes doesn't exist at the player level. Even more revealing, centre-backs on dominant teams actually tackle more per 90, not less. The whole premise runs the other way.

This is an all time low 🤣 Clickbait being stabbed by his brother with a small veg cutter is an offence to the real man that have been stabbed. Just for views una. SMH. Also to all you defenders of him before you question me, I have been stabbed in the back and shot at 3 times.

Here’s the same list, ranked by per 90 rate instead, includes all players with 150+ G/A. Any surprises? 👀

Saaed Vs Tobs 🥊 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Just been promoted to the premier league , mint let’s pull out a Palestine flag👌🏼

Bruno Fernandes is having his most creative Premier League season yet, by being less attack-minded. No longer so aggressive in forcing the ball forward, he is showing patience and maintaining possession under pressure, allowing attacks to form before executing his killer pass.


Just checked our last 3 PL results when the Rice - Zubi - Ode trio started together



People think football boils down just being able to dribble with the ball


This league needs to sign or make a new batch of superstars man idc. This is actually depressing
