For me it is part of the game

Give players stick but dont cross the line

also dont cry about it if that player then scores and throws it back in your face

Just wish both fans and players alike were not so ducking sensitive/precious 

How i see it (prob wrong)

It wont be the Premier League that suffers

It will be the end of the Champions League

What i cant what to see is the managers of the big clubs moaning that there is to much football

If this comes off there will be another 14 games min to play

All it’s done is give a bit more of a numerical evaluation to subjective comments like “that was a gilt-edged chance”, “he’s got to score from there”, “the keeper has had a blinder today”, etc.

I don’t tend to use it in everyday football conversation, ie I never say to Joe or the bloke on the other side of me, “blimey, that was a 0.12 xg chance”, but it can be useful to debate in written forums.

It ain’t for everyone, granted.

What is a gilt edged chance?

Is a chance given the same xg mark if the same chance falls for Harry Kane or say Forest Greens forward?

Kane might put that chance away 9/10 times where as the other forward 2/10

so how can they grade it 

As said before only stat that matters is scored or not

Hate them 

The xg  thing is total crap

18 shots half on target xg .74 what ever rubbish that means

18 shots half on target = 0 goals is the only sat which matters

Coulda shoulda woulda counts for nothing

If she makes a mistake I hope everyone realises it is because she is human, not because she is female.

It will be interesting to see if players scream in her face and wave their arms about as much as they normally do.

If she does make a mistake

I hope the pundits and press give her as much stick as they do the the rest

have to treat everybody equal

Better still give ALL refs a bit of a break

Bloody hell 

How did you input all those crowds and how long did it take you? 

Found a website with every clubs crowds Added all the seasons up 

Only took 10 mins

I have a few Gashead mates and like most Gasheads they keep telling me that they have just as many fans as us S###heads

Had bit of spare time the other day so done a bit of home work

Since the 1920 season the total attendance watching the gas at home is approx 23.27 million 

In that time City have been watched by 33.45 million

A small difference of 10.18mill

So if the FA ban fans from watching City until the Gas have caught up with us

Ashton Gate will be closed until the 2067/68 season 44Years!!!!

That is as long as the Gas average 10k a game between now and then 

God i need to get a life

I noticed that odious Welsh ***** Lockyer left an elbow / forearm into the chest of Rodri before Silva scored 

So pleased they scored and Lockyer hurt himself - he should see red every time I see him

As a side - worse than Wimbledon of 80s

Yeah not close to that wimbledon side

They stayed in the top flight for 14 seasons and won a FA cup

Let's be honest, it's an uninspiring dirge of a national anthem. 

But it is OUR anthem

Both ours and the Gas record attendances is against PNE in the FA cup

Sky should stop showing them live until the ban is uplifted (wont happen)

I’d actually be interested to read more about why this style of football suddenly seems to have completely swept through the football league like a new strain of Covid. 

Every team seems to try and play it. The best chances every team creates each week seems to be when they nick it off the opposition centre back trying to play like Xavi.

Is this Pep Guardiola’s influence or something else?

This style of football does not work for 99.9% of teams

The only teams who have ever won much playing it are 

Man City - Bayern - and Barca (all have something in common PEP)

Far superior band than the Sex Pistols (who basically only had about 6 songs) & who have lasted the test of time considerably better.

My favourite ever band
