actually should be an automatic 1 match touchline ban for managers who cite specific single match xG especially from public providers in pre or post match pressers

Engaging students with statistics through choice of real data context on homework Statistics educators recommend teaching with real data with relevant contexts, but defining relevancy is challenging and varies by student. We investigated whether providing student choice of data con...

Howe on having good xG conceded stats in general but struggling to keep the ball out of the net: "That one sometimes in the lap of the Gods..."

Howe is more nuanced: “...using xG, I’m a big believer in xG you know I believe it does tell a story. I think certainly over one or two games it can have big 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. Over a long term, probably over a season, you’d expect the 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 to drop to what it should be...” [03/03/26]

late 6 a side kickoff short with 5 x Daylight Savings an absolute killer combo but clean sheet and victory all that matters

The only team with an injury prone #1 are also the only team that didn't give the set #2 a go in the FA Cup 5th round (presuming Brentford and West Ham will rotate tonight). Alisson is now injured. Surely they're not 'resting him/being overly cautious' for the pitch he got injured on in September...

imo fine managers who cite single game xG in their pressers

I've just made live the updated website that accompanies my R book (www.discovr.rocks) - it's mostly finished: almost all of the chapter solutions/task solutions are done, data are live, updated info about the `discovr` package of interactive tutorials, and it's had a face lift.

Promoted and Dismissed, Now Practically Safe: Sunderland Flip the Narrative by Reaching 40-Point Mark | Opta Analyst Few gave Sunderland much hope of avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season. And yet, they've reached the 'magical' 40-point mark by Matchday 29.

Since the 2001-02 season, only 6 promoted teams have taken more points by MD29 than Sunderland's 40 this term.

Few backed Sunderland to survive; they're virtually there already.

Still had fun talking about DAGs, caffeine during pregnancy and hunter-gatherer longevity!

when's the last time a promoted side got 40 points after 29 games? #safc

two 'available' RBs and end the game with no true RB at RB and 3/4 backline changes non injury related 😵‍💫

I would never underestimate how hard it is for this Liverpool side to go to Molineux/play Wolves this year. The worst sad thing happened btw.

Slot lost me a bit when he played 541 at home to Palace in the league cup (depleted side, but still) but anyways nightmare season before it even began so I have endless empathy for him and the whole group. I have accepted for some time that Liverpool's current level is midtable Gattuso meme

it's like 8C in Wolverhampton

Joe Hart loves a jacket doesn't he

This is the fifth. If I remember rightly, it will now be a new Premier League record.
