gently caress yourself. Aggressively dumb things? I'm just more attuned to the truth of certain things than most of the twats in this shithole TRP forum. Such as recognizing that while Zlatan did pretty well he was also by far the most wasteful striker in the league, missing twice as many bug chances as the next one. Any good striker would get 20+ goals playing for a team creating as many chances as United did, so bringing up his stat of 28 goals in 46 matches is a bit of a moot point.

im permabanned poster Zlatanscorer58. i first started reading TRP when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “xG” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “Dszibot” and “i love Zlatan” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of advanced statistics was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” PirateBob to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

This is an all time great TRP Post.

I have no clue what "expected goals" means.

e: apparently it's an insanely convoluted stat which means "good chances"

only in 'journalism' can you cry abuse because someone told you your dipshit opinion sucks and have colleagues rush to your defense instead of laugh at you.

He’s unironically arguing that Arsenal did something wrong by making his published newspaper article, that he himself tried to promote via twitter, more visible on twitter. He has no issue with the content of Arsenal’s entirely inoffensive tweet. He’s literally angry that more people saw his stupid article. It’s intellectually offensive, and I hate that anyone has leapt to his defense.

Such a weird hill for an Arsenal fan to be dying on. It wasn't a foul, Niassie was going down before the contact even happened. If we had video technology/diving review technology those three players probably would have gotten more bans and they would have deserved them.

Why is it always "what about x" with football fans. I don't want to see diving in football and this is a good way to try and minimise it.

I mean, it’s not a foul, but he clearly isn’t going down before the contact happened. Weird way to look at it.

Anyone know what’s going on with Spurs? It’s tough to slide down the table when you have a striker who is scoring a goal a game.

There are no words; I'm somewhat happy but also bricking it. I'm just anticipating some sort of fuckery.

Usually they’re in the top 3 at this point, then they’re fighting by 4th by February. If anything, this puts them on track for 7th.

Santi Cazorla has undergone another surgery on his achilles. It's looking more and more likely that he'll never play again.

I thought he was done before this last setback, but yeah this absolutely has to be it. Hopefully they’ll be able to put his foot back on so that he can get a big payday in China or something before he retires.

As much as I love to criticize Arsenal’s training staff, it just sounds like he had a bad result from a surgery. I’m sure the training staff compounded the issue, though.

'unintentional'

Yeah, I watched the replay a million times. and Pogba’s foot was nowhere near where the ball actually was or where it was going to be had Bellerin not touched it. It’s not like the Eduardo tackle where you could see that the defender expected the ball to be in one place and found Eduardo’s shin there instead. It’s either intentional or totally inexplicable.
