@BassTunedToRed Love all your stats Andrew! I keep seeing the Opta xG graphic game after game and notice how few of the chances LFC concede in the key area the width of the goals to about 15 yards out. Would be interesting to do a season comparison for and against

Just been totting up Liverpool’s wins this season against sides rated among the top 40 in the world by Opta.

@ClementsMoney Jonathan, I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. But not at all surprised how well you are reacting to your new circumstances. Thanks again for all the great advice over the years. Sending much love from Cape Town, South Africa.

@BassTunedToRed @Paddyc123 Many thanks Andrew

@brucebeckett @Paddyc123 It’s an edited version of this: soccerstats.com/table.asp?leag…

Five of the seven title winners in the Guardiola era have finished top of the big six mini-league, the other two were second. Current standings for 2023/24:

@BassTunedToRed @Paddyc123 Hi Andrew. Big fan of your LFC stats articles!! Quick question - which website is this graphic from (they also do all H and Away scores for one team)

@Paddyc123 Three each for City and LFC

@CharlesHSavage Good day Charles. Last resort! EE is uncontactable. Nobody has responded or satisfactorily responded to many queries (ticket 1970481) in a year. Can’t login since 12/06/2022 when you shifted the EC to EE logon. Cell 0823081700. Thanks Bruce

@dollarsanddata Great question and article! Two suggestions - extrapolate investment income + home equity to 62, and then assume 4%SWR and add appropriate social security income to see where the typical persons (and couple) ends in retirement.

"Instead, some in the financial industry will claim that a small monthly payment or a simple allocation change are all you need to get wealthy...this couldn’t be further from the truth." My latest on whether the typical person can become a millionaire: ofdollarsanddata.com/can-the-typica…

@Culture_Crit Cape Town, South Africa

Any I missed?!

@geordinhl Thanks for all your great work! But this sounds like a very significant physical and reputational risk to CT. businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/202…

@DaleJohnsonESPN Thanks Dale, always appreciate your balanced takes on VAR issues. Why wouldn’t / couldn’t the VAR guy be screaming down the mic to the ref Re the mistake before the free kick was taken?

So the VAR, Darren England, checked offside thinking the onfield decision was "goal." It was a quick offside check because it was clear Diaz was onside, so he told the referee "check complete". In telling the ref "check complete" he is saying the onfield decision was correct.

Ok, here's the nuts and bolts. This is what happened with the Luis Diaz "goal" which Liverpool had disallowed vs. Tottenham. There will be a deeper dive in the Monday VAR thread, but in simple terms the VAR took the wrong onfield decision - it led to the goal being disallowed.

@DanKennett Great stats. I think Sobers is the only other

@CityofCT message from Malcolm Road Rondebosch. 2.5 days without power for our area. Nobody in sight currently trying to repair on Keurboom and 2 hour call centre wait. Please update progress and ETA?

@dwaine_van Thanks for sharing your experience in detail Dwaine, very interesting. I’ve purchased a similar spec to you (10% less panels). Please share your SP for a mate. Also I’m at 22% Eskom after 3 weeks with 2nd battery settings. Are you happy to share yours please?

@oryxspioenkop Amazing work thanks! Can I suggest you add a summary table up front in your document with tables for both Russia and Ukraine (total losses + % of total available for each category)

@DoctorVive @ProfMarkMaslin Thanks Genevieve, now on my 2022 reading list. If you have a moment please recommend two or three other practical intro to climate change books.

Just finished @ProfMarkMaslin's *How to Save Our Planet.* This book is great. Simply great. Staggering in scope but completely digestible. Clear and inspiring. This is the book I'm going to recommend to people who want to start learning about the #climatecrisis.

@TheEscapeART1ST Interesting. Who knows with these things? I’ve always been mystified by FIRE’s (over?) reliance on index funds only. Surely with a 40+ year retirement one should at least have a second income stream - rental property or even state pension (less dependent on equities than company)

@thepaulwilliams Personally love seeing more running and less referee influence, but your attitude has really helped my mindset and enjoyment of the two arm wrestles so far 😃 Thank you! PS are the stats you reference publicly available?

Everyone replying to my tweet, saying that I enjoyed the game. Don't blame me if you didn't 😁 I didn't repeatedly stick those bombs up

@DanKennett Dan, watching the “penalty” from both angles made me realise one of the VAR issues is 2D views of a 3D sport. Need to copy cricket (with slomo + snicko) to get full 3D picture, by showing front + side on simultaneously on split screen

@DanKennett Dan, important point. But that’s pretty much 29 players on £200k each per week (312m). Does that seem plausible? Doesn’t pass the smell test for me

@MelissaReddy_ @TheAnfieldWrap @Knox_Harrington Hey Melissa. Read your book over the weekend... a lot better than the Brighton game. Great read, and congrats on the your first book!! From a CPT Red since 1986

@MmusiMaimane @DBE_SA Mmusi, recommend your pick a different battle. You’re embarrassing yourself on a complete non-issue. So much other good you can do in more important areas

Bagaetsho, I am a parent, I am an uncle and I am a concerned citizen. I do no think that the @DBE_SA is ready to reopen schools. This is rushed, this is risky. Please join me in advocating for the reopening of schools when it’s actually safe. change.org/p/minister-of-…
