  1. That's not unpopular here. I'd have either in the city side though. Brian, are you listening?
  2. Yeah. xG itself is just a minor part of the analysis of football. Just a headline for us plebs. Data analysis of football is a multi billion dollar industry (probably :), and if you're leading edge, it can help you (for instance) identify and recruit fantastic players for cheap that aren't on others radar. When everyone else is using the same data sets it's more difficult to stand out, but it's one of the reasons Brighton have been so successful in their recruitment (I think they rely on Tony Bloom's company for their data, rather than off the shelf solutions). I expect fevs has more of an insight. If you know what you're doing it's a great tool, but if you're a great tool it won't help as much.
  3. I think if you factor in expectation and entitlement, the more successful teams have less tolerant fans. I do hanker for the day when we suffer a home draw against Liverpool and our fans complain about it on 606, or it's equivalent in the year 4060.
  4. It took me a while. Probably because I've got used to Jon's efforts.
  5. Ref would've booked TC for losing his head.
  6. XG = 0.01 seriously What an Easter gift.
  7. Yep. Jed Ward. He looks like a competition loser.
  8. It does, and it should when there are more deseving cases like today. But I suppose there is a case to say that it shouldve gone to a Leicester player, but noone usually picks a mom on the losing side. As long as we win, probably I'm not getting bent out of shape on the mom choice.
  9. I'm watching this on stream. The second goal has the most comical defending I've seen in a while. Guaranteed fbomb from Taylor in his post match radio bristol I reckon. Oh, and their goalie looks a bit shite as well
  10. That was the main negative today. Except near the end when we managed to keep it near their corner flag for 2 minutes, earning an impressive 876 throws (okay, it was about 5).
  11. He's had a great game. Pick of our players for me.
  12. Difference was there was a good reason for that one. Allegedly.
  13. No wonder he fled the country. I do remember seeing the van at Ashton Park School one day, but I didn't see our Kev. He did sign something for my mate in the school hols when we saw him in the car park one day. Seemed a nice chap.
  14. That made me think of that Only Fools And Horses scene with Del and Trig in the bar where Del tries to lean against the bar ...
  15. You always know that when we revamp something Jon likes to make it 'leading edge'. But nothing winds me up more than that stupid come on when you buy tickets, and that's been there for at least 10 years. I don't imagine anyone has actually signed up for a paid discount scheme on purpose, but why on earth force it to get in the way like that.
  16. Is that true? Open a Dros shell, and run with some parameters set: Dros 1.1 > Manning.exe -nopress -shots min -bordem max -keeperDist allovertheplace ed: you can also use the keyword 'random' in place of 'allovertheplace'
  17. I'm not saying the Man City lads are good, but their recent form is WWWWWWWWWW (all comps). The most recent game is on the left hand side, no right hand side, no ...
  18. The very best seats aren't available, but adult prices of the ones that are :- you can sit on the halfway line on one side for £400, £439 on the other side you can sit behind the goal for £344 (one end has no seats available)
  19. To add to other replies, the QF was covered on the faplayer as well as RobinsTV, and there was an additional pitch side camera which wouldn't normally be part of the RobinsTV coverage. So maybe the FA led on the coverage? There is no mention of live coverage yet on either the fa or Man City websites. (Note, Man City streamed their QF on 'City+' and that costs £4.99 a month.)
  20. It's clearly a mistake. I don't think JL would understand brand identity if someone metaphorically slapped him around the face with it. I don't think anyone sees splat and thinks Bristol City. But I suppose it does serve a purpose in highlighting where (or with whom) many of our problems lie.
  21. Ha, can you imagine it. Jon: "We've only sold 10k season tickets for next season." Dad: "Well done son, we'll make more on the POTD ticket sales. Lovely jubley."
  22. Splat is provably an image derived from a copyrighted photo and would need to be duly licenced. We must be professsional enough to ensure licencing is correctly in place, mustn't we? And Shutterstock (or whoever the rights holder is) is probably continually scraping t'internet for unlicensed images, aren't they?
  23. There's an opening for a joke involving Daisy Duke here.
  24. Being forced to play in such a negative and passive way might hurt more. I reckon Joe Williams was so peed off HT Swans game because he felt like he was being blamed for someone else's decisions on his gameplay.
