What does expected goals mean?

[Blott]

It just had Chelsea 1.8 Man City 0.86

[BoroRedKen]

Based on shots, performance, form etc etc.

I only know from playing FM2024.

[Gingerpig]

Loads of bollocks to joe average , never understood it , the nerds of football quote it all the time

[Blott]

I cannot understand how Chelsea had a better chance than City.

[Francks left peg]

It's a load of nonsense really. Doesn't hardly ever stack up

[ZiEgE]

Absolutely nothing.

[TommyDickfingers]

File it with these new phrases being used for football.

I had to look up what 'Low Block' meant when I saw someone commenting that Derby had played with a 'Low Block'

What it actually means is that they put every fucker behind the ball for 90 mins.

I think.

[Blott]

Last year it's was Transition and False Centre Forward.

I might be getting grumpy in my old age but I fucking really hate the word Offence being used instead of attack.

The Yanks have taken over enough of our modern culture so they can leave the fuck alone the footie.

nothing grumpy about it. Midfielders evidently Press now.

[Kippers]

I can't watch premiership football and all the VAR shite that goes with it.
  And Chelsea ?? 
  Sell a lifelong player/fan and hand the captains armband to a racist Argie. If Boro did that, my love of the club would be over.

'Close him fucking down' would be the Holgate version

[Ural Quntz]

'Close him fucking down' would be the Holgate version

'Chop the cunt' would be more correct
