This Ekstraklasa season is quite special. Everyone is in the title race and relegation battle. Wisła Płock top of the league despite drawing their last 5 games.

Ekitike had some impressive moments of pace today, but couldn't get that last pass right. Solid performance but with many things to improve upon.
I liked the attitude of the team too. Very aggressive and looked more confident.

I occasionally watch 2. Bundesliga, and every time I do, I think to myself that I should really massively be into 2. Bundesliga.
Proper football in every sense.

Let's try stopping the far-right by being the far-right.
They're an absolute disgrace, it's embarrassing.

“Starmer urges Europe’s leaders to curb ECHR”
An absolutely shocking headline and not what I expected from a Labour government.
The Prime Minister won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite

An away win against this Inter side is not to take so lightly. Chuffed with that

Polymarket bought the xG Philosophy... That account has done more than most to misuse the metric, but jeez, I really wanna get off of the capitalist merry-go-round now.

Liverpool not looking bad, but Liverpool are unable to keep control over a full half of football.
When Liverpool does not have control, Liverpool look weak.

This is the wrong caption but I'm absolutely loving Beata Olsson. Proving to be quite the lethal finisher.

Time for a fun little 🇮🇹Serie B fact.
The 2 current league leaders on xG are twin brothers Chrstian (5.40) and Stiven (4.38) Shpendi.
Christian has scored 5 goals (3 pens) for Cesena and is already an Albanian International while Stiven has scored 6 (1 pen) for Empoli and represents Albania's U21s.

Ao Tanaka is such a good example of Pollyannaism.
I absolutely adore him because of the occasional fun and clever things he does, and I will never hear that he is a more or less average PL midfielder.
In fact, this principle should be called Tanakaism.

Spent some time looking at Goalkeeper stats in lesser-known leagues as I want to improve as a GK Analyst.
Mjällby's Noel Törnqvist has had a stunning shot stopping season and at 23 looks a strong prospect... Already signed for Como. Wonder what they'll do with both him and Butez in the squad.

Intriguing Liverpool lineup that has the advantage of setting up a strong bench.

I quite like Galatasaray's Barış Yılmaz.
Not the most regular Galatasaray watcher, but he reliably creates a bunch of chances from nothing, solid on the ball, strong.
Other than shots, his numbers look good and if anything, better in the CL.

Watching/analysing some Brazilian Football, because I have nothing better to do late on a Monday night.
Had to include a name shortening rule in my code. Turns out the number of Silvas on the pitch make it difficult to really understand who's doing what.

Spurs had absolutely zero chance with that starting setup. You can't plan a game on having a miraculous 0-0 at HT.
