"In fourth was the curious case of Jaap Stam, who you might have thought warranted a bit more recognition for a third-placed finish with unfancied Reading. However, maybe it’s a sign that awareness of the expected goals principle is so widespread nowadays that many voters look beyond results and account for the element of luck that has allowed the Royals outperform their shot data".

If we do manage to get past Fulham we can all be sure the media will be putting the result down to an "element of luck".....FFS

I will be happy if I never hear of "expected goals principle" again. Hoping we prove it's only a single factor, not the be-all and end-all it's being made out to be.

Jesus Christ not this expected goals bollocks again.

[From Despair To Where?]

I think that website has a very high expected bollocks goal.

Expeçted goals principle

Just another indicator that football is completely over analysed these days. Earlier today Sky Sports News was telling me that Eden Hazard has made X amount of successful dribbles this season, it was riveting stuff.

Fact is, we're the third best team this season, because we got the third most points. If people don't recognise that, then more fool them.

Quite interested in listening to your ideas on ratings models.

How should we price up games?
