Congratulations to Dr @TomDecroos on passing his PhD today. It is a very fine read for anyone interested in football analytics. It was a pleasure and an honour to act as external examiner. Just wish I was able to be in @KU_Leuven to celebrate!

Ok, so this is one of my pet peeves (I have a few but this one's dear to my ❤️). Here (by @em_sandy) we have what is basically a free ad for a company no one's heard of: "BBC Sport - Summer transfer window: Who carried out the best business?" https://t.co/NPHLsl5jmU 1/n

[Ian McHale @ProfIanMcHale]

@soccerquant @em_sandy @DectechSports @21stClub @StatsBomb @SciSportsNL @Goalimpact I agree whole heartedly @soccerquant. Too much of what is being called “analytics” in football simply isn’t. It hasn’t been tested, or worse, the method is completely unknown. It is hard to take such articles seriously at all.

This is the Premier League over time. The top 6-7 teams are getting stronger, and everybody else is getting weaker. Each dot shows a season, ordered left to right chronologically within a league position band.
