It is pretty impressive isn't it?

No comment about Watford's six wins off a negative goal difference?

You could also say that they are focused. They know they're not going to get a hat full of chances so they concentrate on making them count.

Teams like Man City know they are going to have loads of chances and don't mind taking on all kinds of shooting chances. When they come off, they end up scoring 4s and 5s. Sometimes, like tonight, they'll only score one or two.

If you add up the number of years worth of contracts the likes of Pulis, Fat Sam, Bruce and Pards have actually signed up to, I wonder who comes out on top.
Pardew has been a manager for 18 years. He must've signed close to 40 years worth of contracts though and has probably been paid for close to 30

True, however, understat has him 4th in xG this season, and 3rd in xg per 90 behind Aguero and Jesus. While I wont be backing him for the golden boot, there is early data to suggest he can be a 20 goal player in this system. He gets a lot of shots and from good positions.

Sterling has always been really good.

Benjamin Mendy's a character isn't he.

Just seen the Pep and Redmond altercation. What an incredibly weird moment.

In other news, Peaky Blinders delivers once more.

WTF?

I also note that Spurs are the only team below us with a better goal difference.

Redmond clearly fuming that I transferred him out in fantasy for Pogba

And gets way too much coverage (i.e. any coverage) and pundits who played cricket sound like pompous *******s

baids you still think salah = glorified gervinho?

Spurs are behind Burnley in the table. Wtf is going on?

LOL yeah pretty amazing. I mean really dumb but hilarious. Hopefully he’s back in a few months. AND back to normal

rich man's welbz, get it right m8

lol


I particularly liked the part when he passed to the ad board thinking it was a player.


Hope so, he’s shooting more than anyone else in the league and plop are all about attacking.


Wonder if they planned that during the most successful stadium migration ever.


That it was REALLY far out?

Jeez, although if it’s only updated every 20 Year’s or so I guess it could be classed as recently?



I maybe wrong but once a football manager gets sacked. He’s (or shes) paid the remainder of his (or hers) contract over the period of said contract and not a lump sum. If/when they get a new managerial job, they forfeit the remaining money that was due to them?

burnley and xg heres a pod about them from our favorite XG twitter guys:

Depends how good their agent/lawyer is. Iirc, AVB negotiated a lump sump settlement from Chelsea for the remaining part of his contract before taking the Spurs job.

I guessing this figure wasn't the total amount due, probably the difference between his remaining Chelsea deal and the salary Spurs offered. I suspect this happens a lot when a manager has a significant contract terminated before taking a new job.

I don't think AVB was really assed about football. He said a number of years ago he would retire and compete in the Dakar rally.

Looks just like the Kimmich interaction a few years ago.

Pep’s so bored with the league already that he has to resort to improving opposing players as well.

Will listen later, but are they saying that Burnley might actually be a decent team? Or is it just more of "they run so good"?

i got an everton m8 telling me that massive sam's 10 minute pre-game chat with unsworth was the reason they won 4-0

no idea how to estimate how much a premier league win is worth to a mid table side but i'm gonna guess at least half a million quid based on prize money+relegation avoidance equity. therefore fat sam 10 minute consultancy services ltd is worth approximately £6,265,000,000 per year if he worked 9-5 and took weekends off

What i gathered he slammed them for time wasting...should be a few game ban.what is he even doing there?

From MotD highlights, it was after the end of the game as the players were on their way off the pitch. They asked him about it in the interview, but he didn't really give an intelligible answer.

Wonder what Redmond was saying to him when he covers his mouth.

This is a simple "FU for time wasting" packaged in a weird backhanded compliment.

Someone should remind Pep that he is the manager of a single EPL team...before he starts holding half-time teamtalks in the opposition dressing room.

Hope Redmond just told him to kindly **** off

Will take it.
