  1. Mrs P is a nightmare for this. Will phone me on the way home saying "you should see all this stuff I've got , I saved over a hundred pounds". No what you mean is you've just spent £200 when the only reason you were out in the first place was to go to the f*cking opticians !
  2. Would definitely have to disagree with Neilson's last point , I thought it was a great game !
  3. Starting the week with a bang , it's a 10 for Monday . First 9 landed right in my wheelhouse and a good eduguess for the Russian play.
  4. On the xG thing the only time I've found it useful is as a retrospective stat after a game when it gives a bit of insight into whether one of the teams overperformed relative to the chances that they had on the day , ie if a game finished 2-1 and the xG was say 1.2-1.4 then the winning team have produced a better quality of finishing and the losers have squandered chances . Perhaps it gives a bit more of an insightful review of the game rather than just having to rely on shots on and off target , but beyond that I wouldn't give it a second glance. As for predicting future results I'm in the 'yer da' camp on this one and am sure there's many other things that could show some kind of trend if extrapolated over a large enough period and calculated in just the right way. More importantly tho, Saturday's game was f*king brilliant. Tony Watt's shitehousery in particular deserves special praise.
