Where were you wastes of space in the nine game unbeaten run? Still calling for sackings. Why are you people all so utterly inadequate that you have nothing better to do than to call for managers to be sacked all of the time? Get a life ffs. If he gets sacked, I hope we go down to league 1 so maybe some of you useless moaners lose interest. I mean eh? You want us relegated to League One just give you a bit of pleasure on an online forum.

This is a message board in case you hadn't realised, which basically means we are allowed to post how we feel about our wonderful (yet poorly managed) club. I was calling for him to go during our lucky run. So when is enough enough for you with your mate Smith?...bottom half....bottom 3? When is it acceptable for us to want him to go exactly? Hardly inadequate to have an opinion is it really? Oh and I have a great life thank you. If Dean Smith stays in charge you will get your wish of League 1 football and then you'll be happy won't you...lots to post about then... Its also rather churlish to questions someones level of support for our club ever!!...for better or worse we will always follow the boys in green and yellow..just preferably without Dean 'clueless' Smith yeah! So in future my angry Dean Smith loving friend less personal posting and more constructive reasoning of why he's doing a great job....which he isn't!

It's all you f**king go on about every f**king week. Anybody but whoever the f**k the manager is at the time. It seems like a major player in the Militant Smith Collective has had a bit of a meltdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got this from the BBC website for the Canada v Belgium game - Canada are almost two goals ahead in the xG stakes. They're only 0.33 for the second half - which is still considerably better than Belgium's 0.06 I understand now. xG means absolutely jack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moneyball is about making the best you have from limited resources, Exactly, and it worked. Because xG was able to identify likelihood of results beyond just table positioning, where previously xG was used to make money out of bookies. Before the bookies took on xG stats, those involved in xG were able to make serious money out of identifying value from odds where others couldn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
