    ***Official Match Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 8:15pm Tuesday 2nd Dec. ***

    I just think we need to own and use the middle of the park more. We need an old-fashioned midfield general in the side: a Mickey Hazard type character. We haven't had that for fuсking ages. Bentancur might be supposed to be that player, but he just isn't.

    Somehow clawing it back twice with your main CB assuming centre-forward duties ... it's entertaining for the neutral (I expect the sight of Richarlison arriving in the box about 3 seconds too late for the first was particularly amusing), but these performances are just bewildering to me. Frank's...

    So far, this has looked like the football equivalent of two drunks swinging at each other in a pub car park.

    I recognise Wenger and Redknapp; who are the ones in the middle?

    You do feel there's something up. There'a a video online, I think posted by that Cowlin guy, of Frank walking onto the pitch after the final whistle Saturday: he goes and shakes hands with the ref and linesmen, then he seems to spend more time interacting with the Fulham players (handshakes...

    At this rate, Frank is going to be under pressure sooner rather than later. There seems to be precious little pattern of play and no-one really taking responsibility. The final subs tonight seemed to do more to kill the momentum than add to it. I really hope he gets some better quality to work...

    Now look at the poor sod. 12 stone heavier and advertising price comparison websites.

    That's a gross oversimplification. For example, there are also different ways of modelling the flow field and pressure distribution across a wing section under different conditions, at different Mach numbers and so on. They won't necessarily produce identical results in terms of raw numbers...

    That's just a reflection of the fact there's different methodologies for modelling chance creation and coming up with a 'quality' measure. The numbers don't have to be identical across methodologies, as long as you stay internally consistent.

    Some people like to analyse data to see whether patterns emerge. There's no more to it than that, really.

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    There's more to it than the quality of your finishing, surely. An individual xG stat (ie for a single goal attempt) is a measure of the quality of the chance, so (xG total)/(shots total) measures your average quality of chances created in the game. If a goal is scored from a chance created, then...

    Indeed not. More chance of me pulling Chaka Khan than of him saving one.

    *******Spurs v PSG*******Official OMT*******

    I started watching with the lowest of low expectations. We didn't do as badly as I'd feared, tbh, but setting this alongside other recent results, I can say there are very few in the squad right now I'd be at all bothered about losing. Richarlison, I'd happily swap for a second-hand lava lamp in...

    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    I'd just get rid of it. Its positives don't outweigh its negatives in my opinion, and I feel it's destroying the game. It's killed virtually all spontaneity and excitement; it's made on-field officials lazy and more likely to defer making a decision, and the really difficult calls it could...
