The master exploit of racking up xG with meek shots directly into the goalkeeper's arms is paying dividends.

Imagine the xG if Jackson could hit the ball towards the goal instead of Row Z, or sometimes not at all!

Still remember that time we beat Spurs 1-0 at White Hart Lane and Krul made about a dozen saves, but they pretty much were all comfortable. The xG must have been enormous but Spurs couldn't finish for shit.

Bah, xG is for cave men. It's all about PPDA these days.

[Colly]

Fucking hell. Do these people not realise I only have so much vomit?

[The Lusophone]

PPDA is a useful, if limited, metric.

[Colly]

Stick it on the pile with all the others.

Pipe down Grandad, it's all about 'field tilt' now.

Is this when the crowd shakes the stadium so much that the ball gets taken away and they have to pay to start a new game?

I'm pretty sure it's a stat built around Barnet and "number of chances caused by playing on a hill".

[Colly]

Like half a Bolivia.

That video someone made of expanding the goal until his shot against Bournemouth would have went in made me feel so sorry for the lad. 

Then his picking up 5 yellow cards already compared to his goals. 

He's going to be turned into a meme player

• Harvey Barnes faces three months out of action with a foot injury, but the Newcastle winger does not require surgery.
• Manchester United have announced Brazilian winger Antony is to return to training after allegations of domestic abuse were made against him. It is understood the 23-year-old spoke to Greater Manchester Police on Thursday and no restrictions were placed on him following the interview. United sources say he has provided evidence in support of his strong denials of the allegations.

[FLiam]

Reguilon and Martinez are reportedly out with injuries now for United. 

Injuries are out of control this season. Can only think it's the schedule catching up with players.

This might be premature but currently it looks like the Villa squad have had their powers stolen ala Space Jam.

Perhaps this is a viral condition that they've spread to the Brighton squad.

In hindsight, it shouldn't at all be surprising that Luton Town got their first win in the Premier League by facing Everton, at Goodison Park.

[Lineker]

Udogie is so fucking good.

[DavidMarrio]

What a load of shite that red card is

[Szumi]

That is absolutely ridiculous. It would be one thing if he went in recklessly, but he didn't even do that. The ball gets stuck on the ground and he rolls over the ball.
