Well yeah, maybe it is. Obviously it won’t be saying deduct ratings from Ireland only.
Like Liverpool this season when they take the lead, Ireland are stupidly good at controlling the game. Don’t need to create game winning attacking actions etc.

Imagine the stats being valued aren’t showing for Irish players as they’re super clinical.
Remind me a bit of Floyd Mayweather, not particularly exciting, never in any danger of losing.
That’s more of a compliment than it probably reads.

Tottenham at 11% on the same metric.
Perhaps the Northumberland (near Newcastle) born Oliver hates North London.

Couldn’t even talk myself out of it. There’s black holes for cash and then there’s the super massive black hole for cash that is Celtic.

Let’s not entirely bash the long form content. @guruspod.bsky.social might be one for you Kim.
Two guys (I know) one Australian and one England-adjacent, breakdown all this far right and sometimes far left nonsense.
For when the soothing tones of Ravi and Patrick just aren’t enough.

While the strangers in the park may not be able to see you, they’ll definitely see TFP on their Instagram ads.
You’ve successfully become every other ad since yesterday.
Good job if you started it yesterday, definitely advertising to the correct people.

Get Sean on for the first ever guest appearance on the transfer flow.

~75% pre sacking. Had them down for 37-38 points pre sack. Is there a better manager than Dyche for this exact situation? Probably not. Think it’ll cost them points, maybe even their place in the league. Wouldn’t be a bet I’d make with my new toy.

I can’t think of a recent conspiracy which was proven to be true.
Still seems to have a long way to go too. The number of believers seems to be growing rather than fragmenting.
Who’d have thought being publicly wrong constantly would be an effective recruitment tool to your ideology 🤷♂️

His desire to be lured very publicly in to every conspiracy going is remarkable. Probably built space ships just to prove the earths flat.

Forgive my ignorance, do clubs conduct psychometric tests on players? I’m assuming they’d provide a better data point.

The one I was surprised he didn’t bring back was Lighthizer. One of the few that seems to have a genuine set of beliefs and the competence to deliver. His apprentice Jamieson Greer gets to takeover for S2.

Just wait till Nigel becomes PM, puts Galloway as secretary of defence, Russell Brand secretary of culture & Cummings is going to be dragged out of retirement to run DOGE. We haven’t end of days just yet.

Trump 2024 feels very different to Trump 2016. Like he’s dusted off the Trussmobile, raided the lunatics out of the asylum and said full steam ahead. Financial markets pricing him as a moderate republican. Half expect Logan Paul to rug pull the US economy as a Trump pump & dump.

As a non-Arsenal fan, I’d have said a LB who’s actually available is the biggest issue to solve. So if you wouldn’t mind signing another attacking winger, that’d be great!

Who needs CLV when you can pick up Spurs at 1.75 versus a Russell Martin led Southampton.

For the sake of this, let’s say this is 100% line manipulation. As a rough estimate, how much would it cost to hold the manipulated line from snapping back for this long? I’m assuming you’d be cracking 7 figures. Obviously the true loss on this part is vig & whatever -EV they’ve calculated

Interesting you’ve got Wolves as well. I thought there was probably an issue on my end. Make them 1.77. Slightly stronger on Chelsea at 1.35. Strong on the draw in the Brighton fixture, will probably just AH Palace rather than back the draw.

Known it’s been coming for a week, don’t know if I’ve got the stomach for being let down by the result and the betting.

Should’ve worded the above better. By 2nd fiddle I meant a super sub. Seems to be a somewhat forgotten concept in football which has become incredibly popular in rugby. A Solsjkaer type comes to mind.

Given the choice (spending the cash as if it’s actually your own, no FM shit) are you recruiting in over the top of Havertz or are you looking for someone to play 2nd fiddle to Havertz?

Offered me 40/1 on Southampton and I’d bite. I’d lay you all day at 8/1.

Russell Martin’s job is to play a brand of football so unbelievably daft that even the claret and blue torture chamber will cover the spread.

*actually loads up the 1/4 Kelly calculator to make sure I’m not massively overstaking… 1/4 Kelly wants MORE on*

I’m assuming part of the reason they sacked Cooper was he fell out with people you can’t fall out with at Leicester.
They bring in RVN who has decades worth of evidence of falling out with big personalities.
Someone’s going to need to put their ego aside. My money isn’t on RVN.

Read an interesting one a few years ago. Someone researched in to how crowd size influenced HA. They found a 0.1 goal advantage per 10,000 people off the top of my head. Louder crowds unsurprisingly had a greater effect on HA. Anfield, Elland Road ranked particularly well.

Don’t really mind the no discounts for seniors. Pricing out your future ticket holders from attending though, moronic.

Why is Russell Martin playing Southampton in the manner he is. They don’t pass the eye or the data test but they’re sticking with him. What do Southampton see that I definitely do not?

Fully expect to see Cooper bring another club up from the Championship to the Premier League assuming he gets a good opportunity to do so.
comment in response to

Agree to disagree on this one. In a Premier League manager context, I think average is very fair for Cooper. Excellent achievement to bring Forest up & keep them up after a chaotic transfer window. Certainly better than Martin/Lopetegui but a rung below Dyche/Silva.
comment in response to

Yeah this is the utterly baffling thing. There was a ~66% chance they didn’t get a point versus Chelsea, that was known before the international break. What’s fundamentally changed? Nothing. A breakdown in relationships perhaps but that squad has very little quality in it.

Can we get a piece on Hearts in the future? Why has Bloom identified Scottish football as somewhere to invest, what would he be projecting as his time frame to mount a challenge for a Scottish title, are there any challenges particularly unique to owning a Scottish club etc.
comment in response to

Cooper is a fairly average manager. By no means is he a dud. The Leicester fans should be looking at their recruitment department and realising that’s the biggest dud in the Premier League. Whoever gets that job is taking over a poorly assembled squad. He’ll do well to finish 16th.

I’m not so sure the hypothetical noose is tightening at all. If anything it looks like they’re extremely confident the charges will be beaten.
Why would Pep sign up for another season otherwise?

Now, we’ve got people owning farms & not actively farming them personally but leasing them out. Then those parcels of land are fair game for IHT. They act as a blocker to the individuals who actually want to contribute to our domestic food security.
comment in response to

I fundamentally disagree with IHT on farms from a food security perspective (Food Security Report shows we produce around 60% of the calories we consume). In my mind, we’re already over exposed to international forces.
