    The point of statistics isn't to mirror reality. The insight in this instance is basically that City would more often than not win the league if you ran this season again.

    It is generally not. There are very few players who over or underperform xG by more than 20% so the effect isn't huge. Teams with better players do generally outperform their xG though, similarly Allison has meant Liverpool have absolutely beasted their xG against this season.

    It really is just a more rigorous version of "City were unlucky today, on another day they score those chances and win".

    Without about as much objectivity and proof as Yevrah, I claim that Gen Z are the greatest leaders out of any generation in history.

    Jesus, it just goes on and on.



    What the hell was said? Was that mook even chairing it? I thought I saw a bit of it and it had the lady presenter.

    The one who chaired it is mysteriously off this week.

    And it wasn't that bad, just very stupid. Using phrases like "everyone's got their fingers in the till" was daft.

    I think Jonny Liew was on the last one, which normally increases the libel percentage by about four million.

    That Sky apology thing got me to thinking about Gary Neville getting all chippy when the sky presenter bod gave it the 'those are Gary's views' corporate line earlier in the season. Was that after the alleged racism at the Spurs-Chelsea game? Which apparently never happened. They should make Nevile do a montage apology for that seeing as presenterman was apparently right to try and be somewhat equivocal.

    Very encouraging play from the youth team so far. I suspect Shrewsbury will pick them off on the counter with wiser heads, but good to see the effort.

    Shrewsbury with more fouls on Curtis Jones than shots. Pretty dominant from the youngsters so far and the visitors have started getting rougher with them.

    The first one goes to absolutely nobody and the second one he goes down way too easily and clutches his untouched face.

    Third one will be a screamer into the top corner. Or at least we can only hope.

    Very good effort in the first half but we need to create a little more. Fully anticipating Shrewsbury to nick one but so far so good.

    How was that Shrewsbury goal offside? Isn't the guy at the bottom playing him on?

    The lad who finishes it has his fingertips in front of the last defender when the first shot goes in.

    EDIT: I didn't even see the defender below them. How have they missed that?

    Apparently it's something in the build up, but fuck knows what. It must go back to before when that replay starts as there's nothing ostensibly wrong with all that. The guy who eventually scores is offside when the first ball is played down the line, but there are several intervening events before he touches it so it can't be that, can it?

    They were both good strikes. As soon as Joelinton went off, we had nothing to aim for. Nobody wanted to take that role up.

    Absolutely amazing. The kids took Shrewsbury head on and didn't flinch. Every one of them ran themselves into the ground.

    Curtis Jones is going to be a star.

    You've won 1-0 on an own goal after a legit goal was seemingly incorrectly ruled out.

    It doesn't matter how you try and present it. Youngest team in our entire history playing perhaps the biggest match of their career thus far against a team who supposedly felt cheated whilst knowing the entire planet seemingly wanted you to lose.

    It's more the manner in which they went about it that was impressive. Our playing style is instilled throughout every age group and it showed.

    I would say it is entirely due to the cup representing a much lesser % of the total money available in football. I honestly don't think there is a single other reason except for that.

    It's just dawned on me we've went to the Sixth Round in my football watching life than I ever realised. For me, it's not the money that's devalued the FA Cup but the way it's presented. Wembley semi-finals are dumb, playing the final on an evening instead of a sunny May afternoon, etc. And terrestrial TV doesn't devote three hours worth of build up to it any more.

    It was the youngster Liverpool side in history.
    It was the biggest match of their careers to date (most, at least, perhaps not those that beat Everton)
    Shrewsbury did feel 'cheated'.
    Everyone was hoping Liverpool would lose because disrespect etc yaddy yaddah
    The manner they went about the victory was indeed impressive
    It was the same style of play we see from the first team, perhaps without the CB's spraying long direct balls up top.

    Letting Arsenal and Tottenham play that semi at Wembley in 1991 was the beginning of the end.

    (Though really it’s the money).
