I apologise for posting a stat.

You have yourself a lovely evening.

Look you are the kind of person who will throw a superiority dig, then pretend you didn't. So you can pretend you have some kind of moral high ground.

I'm glad you're happy with our non penalty xg today.

Hope that made your day.

Me and everyone else i met in n17 were pissed off but I'm glad the non penalty xg was pleasing to some random Internet fan.

Fuck off.

I am a season ticket holder my friend. I was in the South as usual singing my head off and cursing like a fish wife as the occasion demanded.

XG is a statistical metric used by every single footballing department in the world. Having a higher XG is always better than having a lower one. Yes that was one of the very tiny pieces of hope I could take out of the game - so I did.

Just because you're angry doesn't give you the right to be an utter cunt. You ain't special.

We've had "shit managers"
We've had "world class managers"
We've had "managers learning their trade"
We've had "managers who've won multiple trophies and Premier League titles
The end result is always the same.
And it's the million dollar question on why we keep underperforming when it really matters

It's not really a difficult question to answer unless you've got your head buried in the sand.

Your agenda is noted,
moments still decided the outcome,
2 needless penalties when both could be avoided with a modicum of thought
We definitely should have been playing against 10, Romero was sent off for the exact same thing in the exact same fixture
Our right back turned his back instead of closing down the resultant effort was a goal

He’s not coaching U13’s

That mentality and brainlessness would get Klopp and Pep sacked
These players just aren’t up to it

Agreed but neither is the manager who is totally out of his depth!
 
A left field observation but:

The linesman on the dugout side of the pitch today had one of the worst games I've ever seen a linesman have. Put his flag up for no reason when kulusevski was through (play stopped)

But then he flagged Udogie off when Udogie didn't play the ball. The ref overruled the linesman (because you're not supposed to flag there) and Son misses a great chance. However Chelsea would have had every right to be seething if that goal had been scored and stood because the dumb cunt put his flag up and, understandably, the Chelsea defenders thought play had stopped.


The state of officiating is an absolute disgrace.

I’m sure I’ll find the fortitude to somehow get myself in front of the tele for Rangers, but honestly I don’t know why.

I increasingly get no joy from doing this, even after City it’s a momentary high and then I’m thinking about the inevitable forthcoming cock up.

After decades of this, I’m just worn out. It’s the same thing over and over. The same degradation, commentators mentioning how it is Spursy mid-match. It’s just pathetic honestly and I feel pathetic for showing up week in week out.

I think I'm right in saying we are the only football team with our own adjective? Which happens to be byword for failure...
 
gawd... watching motd and seeing those pens on tv as opposed to top of the south...


bissouma man... I genuinely thought he was gong to be world class. wtf the fuck - started and finished the whole sequence of their equaliser.

And Sarr? He's going away from goal wtf are you thinking?

Funny enough, and I know it will be shocking to a condescending man such as yourself, but funny enough the average football fan (including myself) doesn't need you to explain what xg is.

You don't get why someone bleating on about our "non penalty xg" when we've just lost to one of our biggest rivals, is an inability to read the room. That's cool.

Yes and then start of 2nd half they were all over us. When Johnson came off great opportunity to bolster midfield but he put turbo on. He then changes the midfield with 10 mins left and 2-4 down.

Agreed

Unbelievable

Clueless and a disaster for this club and the longer Levy hesitates to pull the trigger then the more the season slips away

I was replying to a poster who was trying to make sense of his feelings that despite the result he felt we'd played pretty well. The XG stat was simply to show that his feelings weren't completely insane. We did, in act, create a fuck ton of chances which is always better that NOT creating chances.

You decided to butt into that conversation. You didnt' have to. But you did. This is because you are angry about the result and too immature to not let that anger lash out. That, my friend, is pretty fucking condescending. TO place your emotional needs over someone's else's conversation that has nothing to do with you.

I'm not here to read your fucking room. I posted a relevant football statistic to help explicate another fans feelings.

Now, please, kindly: fuck off.

That lino was bad but there were a couple of grim calls the other side too.
