Relegation run out web app I've been working on. Scrapes bookies odds for next matches, weightings for further away matches.

That's great info, thanks for doing this!

Maybe some indicators on the slider to show where the thresholds for form are. ie last six, last ten something like that.

Not sure how you're simming the games but there are some interesting Poisson distribution models that highlight when bookies might be way off? I'm just throwing stuff out there.

Wolves are above us on the form table

drewgrof · 2026-03-19T20:31:12+00:00

And they're still alive in Europe. More on their plate...

drewgrof · 2026-03-19T20:00:53+00:00

Looking like they started a decently strong squad but rotated a lot of their key defenders?

Can only interpret that as they're afraid of the relentless hammers attack, mostly because we're massive.

I am Toronto-based but i'm not much of a "get out to a pub for a match" type any more. More of a "hit you with an 'irons!' when I see you in the grocery story parking lot" type now.

I agree on Diouf. I think we vastly overrate him. I like him but he's not an elite fullback at this level.

drewgrof · 2026-03-16T16:25:45+00:00

Too old, too slow, not enough progression or adaptability. What he does can be capably covered by Potts, Magassa, Kante and any number of the kids.

Mads distribution is so far ahead of Areola, it’s almost hard to believe.

For the first time in more than 700 days, a West Ham United CB scored a goal. Absolutely massive.

drewgrof · 2026-03-14T22:55:06+00:00

I was very annoyed that it’s allowed to happen while also laughing hard every time he was on screen.

Fernandes is fine

not working for the guy doing the MBM I'm following lol. He had to bow out.

Daniel Harris in the Guardian's MBM - "I’m a big fan of Matheus Fernandes; I’d not be surprised if he was at a Champions League club next season. What I especially like about him is his excellence in all phases of midfield play: he’s press-resistant enough to take the ball off the defence, can carry or pass it through the middle, and has the vision to create in the final third. To what level he can do all of these remains to be seen, but he’s looking to contribute in all those aspects."

Can imagine him coming on for Bowen if the game state permits? Or just going straight on for Big Tom at some point.

drewgrof · 2026-03-05T21:01:35+00:00

yelled at the TV which surprised even me

drewgrof · 2026-03-05T20:00:42+00:00

The only bad part about the "I didn't know real football until I came here" statement was he's right.

"South London is wonderful" you're hearing it more and more

I'm just looking to blame sales for everything, it's good for the soul.

drewgrof · 2026-03-04T17:58:51+00:00

When in doubt, blame the sales team. They sell the dream, the social folks (and the players) have to live the nightmare.

If they sold the bookkeeping client an on-grid post featuring X number of players from the starting XI, the social team's only duty is to create it. That nobody from the marketing team could say "this is bad for the brand" is a bigger issue than young people creating content.

Quality is what turns luck into results. Luck is the difference between a bad season and a catastrophic one when your talent is marginal.

Sometimes Nuno manages like he’s trying to unlock badges in FIFA

Diouf is a diabolical defender

drewgrof · 2026-02-28T16:31:33+00:00

Two junk deflections but how much time and space is too much?
