I think it always looks great, not sure why people moan about the quality of their streams.

Unless their internet is shit.
Damn. I wanna see Coady stroll out to the Champions League music.

Keeper somehow managed to punch that in his own net.
Arsenal might get 4th. Not sure what their run of fixtures are, mind.
To me the quality is great, just the backlighting is a bit dim compared to Sky/BT.
Rangers.
It's fine on TV but the web version sucks.
Look at the fucking pixels.
Get fucked Wolves.
They love a good result in Europe followed by mediocrity in the domestic league. Another season with no trophies beckons
Much easier than West Ham and United.
Barca were really impressive last night. Great to watch and seemed genuinely well coached. Helps they've brought in Aubameyang and (a more effective than ever? Considering he scored/assisted roughly once per million games for Wolves) Adama. De Jong looks more like his Ajax self, he's a really fun player.
As far as I know they've not really explained it in depth, just thought it was interesting that they reckoned Opta and co's models were unsatisfactory so came up with their own.
'Field tilt' is the hipster Athletic-hyped stat that's interested me most.
I can't even imagine what xG would look like in any CM/FM game I've ever played.
Do they still balance things out by most 1-1 draws featuring 78 shots on target for the player team and 2 for the AI team?
Yeah, Frenkie De Jong is top drawer. Great player.

They will have had to come up with their own because in real life constructing an xG model involves pissing about with piles of historical data and make various assumptions that are meaningless in a computer game.
I have no idea what the FM back end looks like, but I'm guessing that the framework for an xG model was by design already built in. A player with 15 finishing and 9 composure is taking a shot from co-ordinates x and y, the ball is at height y, there are x defenders between him and the goal and so on; this is the probability the goal is scored. The game rolls a 100 sided dice to decide if it goes in or not.
In news that probably wouldn’t have escaped us on any other day, a Brazilian team bus was bombed overnight.

Without wanting to derail the F1 thread, I am intrigued to see what, if anything, happens on Sunday with regards to all this Ukraine shit.
Hopefully they have about a 20 minute silence and focus the camera on Marina throughout.
Any questions to Tuchel on the matter in his press conference?
Only this:
The Champions League final is going to be moved from Saint Petersburg after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, is that the right thing to do?
"Yes. A clear yes, and sadly I think it's the worse reason to change a location. The absolutely worst reason. We feel horrible about it in general, it clouds our minds and focus, of course. We can absolutely understand the decision.
Ché Adams in some lovely form in time to take Scotland into the World Cup
Pretty classic Scotland that the entire world will now be rooting against them in their semi final.
That should always be the case no matter the opposition.
There's that Brandon Williams tackle straight through the back of an opponent again. The nastiest player in football.
Brandon Williams is fucking terrible. He must have the best agent in the world to have conned Ł70k a week out of Man Utd.
Or the worst club administrators.
One of the Radio Norfolk commentators was saying he should play for England last week.
I watch a fair amount of Norwich with them being local and all. What is a Billy Gilmour? What does it do? Most of the way through the season and a lot like Oliver Skipp last year I see a lot of sideways passing and not much else.
We should have put him in a top tier Championship team where he can actually learn how to influence games on the ball, rather than with some bunch of effeminate pastry chefs who barely get possession and are going down in last place, hopefully this time for good.
It would have been pointless at the time because we had Warnock but in Wilder's team, he'd be brilliant.
I still have faith in him. He might just be suited to international football right enough. Donned Phillips and Rice senseless at Wembley.
Looks like Conor Gallagher will be ahead of him in the pecking order now. Not sure where he fits in a Tuchel side though. Would be wasted sitting in a 2 or in an attacking position. Would suit playing as a 3rd centre mid for Liverpool
I was going to ask if he played in the 0-0 win for Scotland.
A Liverpool fan bitter over Scotland? Fake. Fake. Fake.
Bit harsh. I think he's just a bit shit.
Fair play to the Poles looks like they are refusing to play Russia in the playoffs for the World Cup hopefully the Swede’s and Czech’s say the same.
On the World Cup did anyone see what Infantino said the other day? What a fucking idiot.
No doubt they’ll throw out the teams refusing to play and give Russia a bye all the way to the finals.
United not on TV.
I’m not paying too much attention but I’m sure I just heard Glenn Hoddle say Leeds’ defence looks more solid now.
Does BT Sport through the website always shit the bed once or twice in the first ten minutes of every PL game for anyone else? Even more bizarrely it’s always flawless after that.
Ooh Kulusevski looks decent.
Leeds have a whiff of a team where once the confidence/whatever is gone they will just got tonked every week from here.
They have a good team unit, bless 'em but no real star power to kick them into life. At best, they come back up like Fulham with an invigorated 60 goal Championship striker.
I just seen Doherty scored. I didn’t realise he got a minute for them any more.
He's been their best Right Back this season. Emerson Royal is a complete fraud, mind.
Were they not trying to run him back to Wolves in January?
Yeah, but they were trying to get Adama Traore in his place. Fuck knows why.
The potential of Traore is still mighty. Mighty like his oiled arms you might say.
Did anyone except Burnley and Newcastle want Burnley and Newcastle to stay up over Leeds?
I don’t know how anyone wants Burnley to stay up. Absolute dour football and everyone has had enough of the “Little Burnley” narrative now.
He's 26 and despite top level coaching for much of has career still has no end product whatsoever. He's just a Sprinter.
He's definitely got a nasty streak in him, but "the nastiest player in football" when you've got absolute scum like Tyrone Mings playing is laughable.
I heard he'd been good the last few weeks but I don't watch Norwich much. He was appalling the game I went to see against Villa.
He's got about 5 assists since being back at Barca hasn't he?
That quote about the definition of insanity being (and I'm paraphrasing here) "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome" may have never applied more aptly to anything than it does to Leeds United's current approach to playing football.
He is "El Loco" for a reason though. And I do still love him. But fucking hell, it's rough going at the moment.
Joelinton with a booming header then sprinting the length of the pitch to celebrate with the fans.
He's gonna be a club legend.
