These are the rules - or assumptions - used by Opta to compile the table: For the purposes of the above table a number of rules were set by Opta: If both teams have an xG of 0.5xG or less: 0-0 DrawIf the highest scoring team (in terms of xG) has more than 0.5xG and less than 1.1xG, they win if...

Steve Cook and Ashley Barnes also on the list.

The cleaners aren't due to finish until 11.30, may not even have got to the North Stand yet. Expect it will be handed in if they find it, but someone might know a number you can ring? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Being vegetarian is to stop killing animals. Being vegan is to stop using animals for anything at all - meat, dairy, shoe leather, the lot.

Not so. There is pretty much a cast-iron guarantee that we will get worse terms for all of it, or all of it that matters. We are quitting deals which were negotiated by shit-hot negotiators, who had the immense clout of the single market to back them up. The deals which replace these (if, that...

Did you ever respond on that thread a while back when you were asked to name the straight-down-the-middle, unbiased, tells-it-just-as-it-is-without-an-agenda source where you get all your news?

What are you offering as a salary for a job that would result in immediate death if you are uncovered? Does it come with compensation for dependents etc if so?

It's a different people now. 2.5m new voters, and increasing at the rate of 700k per year. And about 1.8m people have died since the referendum. Any fresh vote which, in effect, assumed that nothing at all had changed since June 2016 would be a nonsense. It would also compound one of the basic...

Liverpool's xG today was 4.4, one of the highest for any team all season. Leicester's was 0.1. And yet there will no doubt be pundits suggesting that Leicester were "unlucky not to get something from the game".

Bournemouth, vs Man City last season, are the only home team to register an xG of 0.0 for a PL match on 538 since the start of the 2016-17 season. Swansea managed it vs Huddersfield in March 2018 (and got a point too, as it finished 0-0). Everton had an xG of 0.02 at Chelsea in Nov 2016...

538 definitely take the identity of the shot-taker into account. There a long post on the site about their methodology which confirms it. Their numbers were also recently described by Kevin Pullein, the Racing Post's stats guru, as the best he'd ever come across, and given that he's rumoured...

I'm not sure how anyone thinks they can draw firm conclusions like that from just seven matches, not least when we are missing players, but as you suggest, people already seem to be forming into camps. And once they have picked a camp, they tend to look for evidence to confirm their judgement...

Of course, but there are about 700,000 children in each school year and 7pc get a huge head start in life by an accident of birth. Over decades and generations, that can only increase the inequality in society, which brings all manner of ills along with it.

Because there's a difference between buying a smarter car/bigger TV and a 14-year once-in-a-lifetime process that is required by law and can have an immense impact on an individual child's life chances and outcomes for the next 60 years?

Reminiscent of the penguins in Madagascar who are desperate to get home to Antarctica, and then, when they do ... N9Z0GHSodEc

For the last 70 years, it's meant just getting on with stuff like living, working, learning, getting laid, having kids etc without having to worry that we could all be at each other's throats a week on Wednesday. But that doesn't mean we no longer have a British/English way of life, because...

Ever closer union, eh? A phrase which dates back to the Treaty of Rome - drawn up by by people with vivid memories of the most brutal war in European history - and which refers, at all times, to "ever closer union of the peoples of Europe", *not* their governments. It's a turn of phrase, a fuzzy...

No-Deal Brexit in 2019 has drifted from 2.3 to 5 on Betfair in the last 48 hours. They don't have a market on No-Deal Brexit in 2020 as yet.
