HEY EVERYONE! I've found him! I've found the person to blame.

Apologies if fixtures, but has anyone read the 'Who is your club's best loan signing of the Premier League era' article, on The Athletic? Ours in Aaron Mooy (because he's about the only loan signing we've had in the PL). Leeds' is obviously Ben White. The deluded Phil Hay forgets that White...

Jesse Lasso: "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs..." Leeds starting 11: "LET'S FKIN DO THIS COME ON YOU SLAAAAAAGGSSS. ENGERLAAND ENGERLAAND ENGERRRRLLAAAAANNNNDD. LET'S 'AVE IT. COMEEE ONNNNNNNNNNN!"

Yep I'd noticed they were on track but were 'due' 3 points in an away game and thought "what mad, untrustworthy model are they using here". I considered checking but thought it was easier to just chuckle and move on :)

The interesting* thing is that according to their tracker, they are actually spot on for where they expected to be on the 40pt survival graph. Their forum denizens don't seem to be #trusting_the_tracker of course. And I don't think many people expect them to get the predicted 6 points from...

I was looking at Infogol, but Shmunk has provided a similar option. Lots of stats places use slightly different models for xG, but the end result tends to be close enough; https://www.infogol.net/en/leagues/english-premier-league-table-2020-21/254

Leeds outplayed Wolves and had the better chances. They have definitely performed well - how much of that is based on poor performances by opponents and inertia from their promotion season will be interesting to watch. Leeds are 10th, and based on their performances to date (using the chances...

Ah. On the contrary Harry. I've been whooshed. As you were!

Hope you aren't driving home tonight Harry, as you're clearly 5hitfaced :kiss:

How wonderfully ironic of them.

Played an 80-minute game at Stoke today, which they lost 3-0. To be fair, it's just a warm-up game and they don't have either of their new marquee signings. But then again, it's not even rainy and windy in Stoke at the mo.

Nah, he just has the same diet as Charlie Adam (table salt and out of date ham)

But but but less games.

They were after Ryan Kent, from Rangers, but there are now reports (in the Scottish *** to be fair), that Kent wants to stay at Rangers. Leeds fans now saying "**** him if he has so little ambition". They are absolutely insane. Bielsa still not signed... probably not a lot to that, but I do...

The WACCOE Ben White thread is now locked - so perhaps their delusion over one player is finally abating. Looking forward to seeing how they fare in the PL. Depending on the result of the first game, it's possible they'll beat our record for consecutive minutes in the bottom three right off...

First off, an apology. I mixed you up with a different poster on Waccoe. In general, you are quite polite and reasonable on there, which is fairly rare - so that's my bad. Second, your reply here has mixed up what I meant, so the rest of it is a bit pointless - I entirely agree with what you...

You are contradicting yourself here mate. THAT is the reality of it. You can play your development players in the U23s competition (note that Leeds aren't even playing in the top division at PL2 level), and then you can introduce them to the PREMIER LEAGUE after playing no competitive matches...

I like this absolute gem; "Seriously, you would think we were back in 2015 having just finished mid table yet again. We just got promoted with arguably the best side ever to have played in the Championship" Glorious lack of self-awareness there. It is a thoroughly basic team that they have...

Once fans are back, imagine how much money LUFC will save on pies. They literally only have to buy one or two of each as Bielsa can feed 5,000 with each pie.

By all accounts, Celtic look to be run sensibly. That is likely much more difficult when every other club will throw more wages at players than Celtic - they are bound to adjust their pay structure, and as we are finding out, it won't take long before a massive portion of that extra income is...
