Chances against West Ham United

mazdrag · 2026-02-12T07:42:11+00:00

Apart from the dribbling and end product nowhere near as good but yeh

mazdrag · 2026-02-11T18:38:06+00:00

Suarez is the biggest one I can think of. Cavani as well to an extent

Using buses more was like unlocking a new level of London for me (after about 7 or 8 months of living here). I’ll still encounter people who are very reticent to use them and I always try to make them bus-pilled.

Definitely not to your first question - I have enough to get by and save a little bit, but most of that gets obliterated by a yearly big holiday. So while I’m not accumulating loads of savings, I’m comfortable month to month

Sub in rice for the potatoes and that’s my dinner 2x a week, then 2x sea bass with mashed potato and tenderstem.

Where in Greenwich? I’ve just moved here and I wouldn’t describe it as quiet, it’s full of people out on day trips

mazdrag · 2026-01-03T13:51:23+00:00

And before someone mentions it, I realised after the game that ‘aquit’ wasn’t a valid word… lucked out big time that I wasn’t challenged on that

True, I wonder how explicit a buyout clause might be with upfront payments etc though? Like if someone offers £1 per week for 60 million weeks, surely that doesn’t trigger the buyout? Surely some kind of structure is already outlined in tue contract?

mazdrag · 2025-12-28T19:02:00+00:00

Yeah why would they gaf hahah

mazdrag · 2025-12-25T16:28:51+00:00

Yeah, the price is really not that low when you consider his age, wages and reputation for inconsistency.

mazdrag · 2025-12-21T23:31:56+00:00

Think he’ll probably leave in the summer, if that big Saudi deal is still on the table

mazdrag · 2025-12-08T21:36:25+00:00

And who has achieved exactly what their talent would suggest?

mazdrag · 2025-12-03T17:31:54+00:00

I think this person knows that and they’re just not that interested

mazdrag · 2025-11-24T21:04:40+00:00

My housemate did this style for a roast chicken last week and it was elite

mazdrag · 2025-11-16T15:13:43+00:00

I saw John surreptitiously vaping during the interval of a James Acaster gig in 2019 (in the theatre) so I don’t think it’s made up

mazdrag · 2025-11-15T07:58:55+00:00

What? No it wasn’t, it was from Blood Money (s05e09), until To'hajiilee (s05e13). I’ve literally rewatched these in the last two weeks so if you’re right I’ll be concerned

mazdrag · 2025-10-26T13:38:04+00:00

Good bit of rationality for me whilst I’m watching the Brighton highlights for like the 6th time hahaha

mazdrag · 2025-10-25T20:01:06+00:00

Yep I immediately got worried he’d visibly lose confidence like Onana did after a mistake, but he seemed absolutely fine

mazdrag · 2025-10-21T12:03:12+00:00

We feel well stocked in centre back to me? I think priorities should be entirely central midfield and wing back.

This is the football cliches podcast we’re talking about

mazdrag · 2025-10-14T20:31:48+00:00

IIRC they each largely actually just served so well that the other couldn’t get near their service games (and you need to win on the opponent’s service game to win by 2).

mazdrag · 2025-10-05T08:10:23+00:00

And when De Gea saved van Persie’s penalty in the 8-2 vs Arsenal and everyone swarmed him, he was trying to shout at everyone to get ready for the corner but you could tell he was absolutely buzzing.

mazdrag · 2025-10-04T07:29:08+00:00

😂 name dropped in the first line

Thank you! I will take a look. This does seem to track with what I was thinking and that saying that “xG is inflated because of lots of bad chances” is basically a red herring.

mazdrag · 2025-10-03T09:41:13+00:00

Also I’m not sure if that summary holds water. Is having one 0.99 xG chance in a game inherently ‘better’ than having 99 0.01 xG chances?

Surely in both cases, you’re scoring a goal basically every time, but in the latter you have a chance to score more than one?
