English Premier League 2023-24 Thread - Page 259 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

When has that ever been a relevant thing though?
Different squads, different years.

This is the quoted stat that is more irrelevant than xG. Utter BS.
Do players really think 'some players who aren't us lost 5 years ago, so we're ****ed'.

Here in the Netherlands there is definitely some merit to those matchup stats, culturewise. For instance, some teams are relegation level one week yet always give it their all when Ajax shows up, and are fine with their season regardless of what happens as long as they beat Ajax at home. Others roll over and look like they're just waiting 90 minutes to swap shirts. Seems to have more to do with their fanbase than their current managers or even players.

I always appreciated "the WC host nation never gets knocked out in the group stage", that we heard a lot in 2010

People posting "Please lose to City" apparently did not see their last 5 games. No begging necessary.

I just don't get the mindset.

Do people really think that the weight of David Howells missing a sitter in 1995 and us not winning since is playing on Son Heung-Min's mind as he approaches the Liverpool goal in front of the Kop?

Mega lols on multiple levels if Spurs somehow get something tonight, but there's absolutely no way it's allowed to happen.

This is from last year and it's amazing and standard that we can very accurately re-use it this year lol.

I have very mixed feelings about tonight. It isn't any more a meaningless game for us like I thought it was going to be.

But equally not sure I really care about being in the CL just to lose in second round when we can likely make a run at Europa given how many players away from being good we are.

The dream scenario is we win tonight and Arsenal get Dyched and lose 1-0 to a dodgy scrappy goal at the weekend.
