Time to start a petition to have the Premier League decided on xG.

Actual goals and points are so passe, darling. So 1990s. Simply used to measure success by AMF dinosaurs drinking lager and wearing Stone Island.

Furthermore, if tied on xG, you could then split teams by amount of facial hair among the coaching staff followed by levels of positivity on the main club internet forum.

I'm just about to fire up 38 degrees. Who's with me?

Surely there are other xStats that can be used to split teams if tied? Maybe xCorners or xFouls or xDissents? Reward the teams that in 100 theoretical games would be the least dissenting.

If they did it on dives and cheating it would be SPuds and Arsetown Vanilla in the CL by Christmas

XG is still based on the rather crude metric of having to get the ball forward and shoot though.

It would be much more civilised to decide matches by use of a Strictly Come Dancing type panel, whereby the award points for continually risky passes along the back line, short corners which result in your keeper in possession 4 passes later and Lallana's pirouettes

I thought the collective brains at NSC who want Potter out want Eddie Howe to solve all the problems...

Can't you see this is so more civilised. We'd stand a really good chance of winning the double of the Europa xG League AND the National Beard Championships in 21/22. Win, win.

Possession in the first half?

Penalty points for pineapple haircuts?

Penalty points for clutching the wrong part of the body when touched by a player from the other team. (I am sick of seeing a replay of a tackle catching the player on the foot and he screams and clutches his shin. or shoulder but keeps checking his nose for bleeding )

I know you think so.

"If only we had a manager having the team creating less expected goals we would win more games" seems to be the dominating thought. If only Brighton played worse, we would win more games!

Too bad reality is pretty ****ing far from that easy or everyone would try to create as few chances as possible.
