The Very Calm, Measured 2025-26 Premier League Season thread

jones 4th place Athletic club lost 7-1 on aggregate to a 15th place Man Utd in a semi final tie. I'm not saying La Liga is poor quality but overall average in the PL is higher.

JazzG you think that one freak result weighs up the record English teams have in Europe against Spanish teams?

daredevil

jones

Are you saying we aren't an attacking team?

Sicario2

At least this justifies my sky subscription now

Sicario2 🤮

Another fantastic innovation for the distraction generation.

They keep track of this stuff. It's called the UEFA coefficient. You should look it up.

MistaT

Would you prefer we play some beautiful footy and win the FA Cup?

or suffer the Horseshoe of Control and win the league?

are we in the win the league/champs zone? and nothing else matters?

RocktheCasbah

MistaT we aren't gonna win the league playing horseshoe controlball, so I think the question is probably moot.

Don Pacifico

MistaT beautiful football, winning all three. 😉

At this point, it's league title at any cost. It has to be.

When we win the league with 8 rounds to spare, all other clubs will adopt the so-called juego de herradura.

Every club will sign hordes of slow, highly technical players who are so secure on the ball they need extra balls at training. Then they'll fit these players with special blinkers that prevent them seeing in the 60° arc directly in front of them.

jones

Burnwinter juego de herradura lol. More likely it'll be Jovér de posicion with Delap style throw ins and DdArK ArTs on every corner

Tbh it's gruesome to watch but the crocodile tears from pundits over our set piece shenanigans would more than make up for it

awooga83 this is it. Creativity stats are inherently flawed because they rely on receiving players to shoot. xG produced should be adjusted for the difference in post shot xG of the chance created when comparing creativity across teams, as well as a stat for the xG of a touch that could have been a shot.
