What do the stats say?

[Blue Maniac]

I mean.... you must see it..... you must, right?

We’ve earned more points than we’ve earmed

Erm.....? And no, that is no whooosh!

I don’t think anyone is saying it’s perfect, but xG is a much better indicator than possession, or shots on target, or yellows or any of that shit.

Why are we even arguing it?

Point taken

 

[tedfoxxx]

****ing international breaks.

 

[londonfox]

It holds up. That’s, like, the entire point.

I thought it didn’t and that’s the point. You never hear people say, ‘Team X is top of the actual table and the XG table’. It’s only ever used for the opposite reason, ‘This team is 2nd in the table but it’s not sustainable based on their XG’.

Don't come on here with your ****ing facts.

It's not. That's the point.

If you're looking for a comparison, it's about as accurate as dangling a spinning needle over a pregnant woman's belly to determine the sex of the child.

Absolutely, just mangling it to fit ‘xG’.

I always get them muddled to be honest.

At least that what you told the Judge

I knew that you knew that, just get a twitchy arse if I think that someone else might think that I’ve put my foot in it.
