So much for the final swansong.

He returns several months later.

He's not gonna play for LFC's first team anymore. LFC Allstars, sure.

I agree it's below 40%.

I once blew a 1-1 from close range vs a really good keeper at a tournament which pitch happened to be recorded. Felt awful to have it saved but only watching the replay I realized my xg was actually very low. I had no time to readjust or do anything but hit it and he was quickly covering my shot. Was surprised at the difference of my perception and the replay.

This is often an issue I believe.

that's quite the surprising level of debt at bolton

I agree with this, and also people generally overestimate the quality of the chance when it's actually scored.

The "short-term funding issue" that is causing this is only short-term until it continues, when it becomes a medium-term one.

I've always maintained Costa is slightly, slightly better than Giroud. They're on the same tier. He ran super hot for finishing early last year, then faded.

Hazard has surprised me the most. Cesc being a liability on defense shouldn't shock anyone.

Apparently Alexis and Santi are out ~10 days. Should be back...after Olympiakos.

I guess the goal for us is to just stay within ~6 points of City by new year when Wilshere, Welbeck, Rosicky and the rest of the reinforcements should all be back. We probably lost ~15% title equity this week though, so that's fun.

It's not a new thing, they've been massively in debt for years but the owner is pulling the plug now.

Hopefully Judas Coyle was wrong when he said the club was 5-10 years ahead of Burnley.

Not exactly the smartest move by Lennon to make. He could have dined out on the Celtic Vs Barcelona + his SPL trophies and got a job with some relegation strugglers, but he decided to go for Bolton nearly £200m in debt, who couldn't buy any players and in the relegation zone of the Championship.

I've always regarded Costa as a tier above Giroud but when I think about it, Giroud has a better touch, is a better finisher, better pass appreciation, and arguably holds the ball up better. I guess Costa just really excels at his main strengths and they paper over his weaknesses.

I missed this post. App took me back too it. I'm bored so gonna clear this up once and for all

The tv rights allow for a set number of games to be broadcast. Each team before March/April get roughly the same number of games - this allows for an equal share of Tv time. Then the title race and relegation games can then be put on. So teams fighting for the title will end up having been on tv more often that not.

Each time slot when the rights are giving out entitles the tv company to x amount of games.



Again, Sky and BT can only show the games they pick. They'll pick plops bigger games to show.

No other game, can be broadcast or played at the same time. Unless they are moved to accommodate the EL - replays etc

The picks for this weekend was:-

Saturday - 12:45 Spurs v Chelsea BT
17:45 Leicester v man Utd - sky sports

Sunday - 2pm whu v wba
4pm Norwich v Arsenal

Saturday 3pm would have been every other game.

Spuds v Chelsea was a bt top pick. So it has to be broadcast/played solely on its own as they paid for it. So it's moved to 12 on a Sunday to avoid any clash with the sky games.

Plop played el so had to be moved as well but couldn't be played.

Sunday's 2pm kick off isn't a premium time slot, no first choice games. They don't broadcast double games. They over lap the 4pm as its more likely to have a first/top pick over a game that isn't a top, 2nd, 3rd,4th or even 5th choice - now know as the 3pm kick off.

Plop and Spurs are likely to over lap a lot on the Sunday 4pm due to that reason. If they're game isn't a top pick.

They over lapped a coupe of weeks back when Arsenal played Spurs and plop played c.p. City v villa was the 2pm game.

I can watch every single game live.

xG takes into account defender removal and being likely 1v1 with the keeper as the pass came from a through ball which gets weighted wayyy higher than a regular shot from that position. If I had to guess vardys shot was prob around .25-.3 with the other shot in the middle being like .4-.45 the rest being .01-.03.

*sigh*

The times that the games kick off at in the premiership are saturday 3pm unless BT/Sky choose otherwise. I was explaining why Plop v Swans and Arse v Norwich over lapped for the Sunday 4PM kick off.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the rights that are sold in yank land. NBC who broadcast every game, can't say, actually can you change Plop v Swans to 2ppm and WHU/WBA to 4pm so people can watch both.

The UK market alone is worth £3bn and next one will be £5bn, that solely dictates the game.

I know. I can still watch every single game live.

Good for you.

Won't be long until Neville is back commentating then.

Thanks

Yet you can't play on pokerstars...

Brentford @ 17/10 did look tasty

Wonder if neil lennon will get fired?

Or is he safe due to the financial state of the club?

I can even record every single game that's played in the Premier League on a given day, and watch them in their entirety in that very same day. NBC4lyfe

Looking forward Man Utd - West Ham match. And I really hope that devils will play better and more variably..

Yeah, but I can do this

#NBC4lyfe

Liverpool: you can do that here, and play pokerstars, and watch any NFL/NBA/MLB games without blackouts. lol NBC
