I'm sure it's valuable in club analytics departments, but when you look at how much it's taken for xG to cut through to the masses (or not) then there's no point even beginning to try with xT!
quick question: does xT only count if you retain posession after you've played the ball into another "value surface"? (Jesus.......)
in other words, if I spend all game hoofing the ball aimlessly into the opposition penalty area will I have a really high xT and look like a really dangerous player?

Links you can't click on are getting on my nerves... 😁
Don't worry, you wouldn't want to click on that one. I'm a right statto and even I don't understand it.
Haha! Yes, I googled out of curiosity, and was left wrong-footed by the ball arrowing its way across the pitch...!

I've read it.

Only 598 days until we can sell the ‘25 Years Since Lionel Ritchie Played The Woodlands’ in the club shop.

This in the Guardian today. Ranking Lionel's top songs.
If only they were rating his top live performances.
Rank the screamingly obvious choice 2nd. Put a slightly off the wall choice 1st.
Every Guardian ranking about anything ever.
00s Bodger was terrifying
I thought from your comment Easy wasn’t going to be number 1
They both look like they are about to strike and dismember someone...
I stuck bodger's head on once. It certainly would've benefited from a few sprays of Lionel's Hello cologne.
🎵Hello, is it flea(s) you're looking for?🎵
🎶 Whoa-oh, what a feeling
Bodger’s scent has stopped my breathing 🎶
A young Ed Sheeran tried Lionel’s cologne with almost no detrimental side effects.
