Both the podcast and Simon's words here are lovely, and ascribe a degree of smarts and clarity of mind that were beyond me at the time (and, you know, still are now)

[Tiotal Football @TiotalFootball]

@SimonGleave Totally agree. These early posts are so sharp and a significant contribution that predates xG etc (at least mainstream versions).

It may look totally normal now (or even outdated with no xG) having seen what would follow for the next 13 years, but it’s huge when set in time imo

@benjaminpugsley @TiotalFootball @danzn1 @unfitforpurpose Iirc some stuff from @Lowetide as well for league equivalencies, then soon after @PhilBirnbaum to get a better understanding of luck

@British_Airways baggage is delayed/lost - was promised it would be delivered today, heard nothing. Sent private message to this account >6 hours ago and no response

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@analyseFooty @danielpugsley_ @HoustonMarathon super effort Ravi - congrats!

Turns out my motivation to learn Python was 'I'd like to be able to see all the beers available for takeout/delivery near me without checking the website of every brewery'. I made a website out of it, which a) was fun and b) might be useful to others in BC

[bcbeerlist @bcbeerlist]

https://t.co/oB59q51TcV - beers available for takeout/delivery from BC breweries listed in one sortable and filterable table so you can see them in one place rather than checking brewery webpages one at a time!

@MC_of_A ^James does math wrong

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@MC_of_A isn't it more like a 20k lead (50.25%-49.75% relative vote) vs. 35-40k (50.5%/49.5% relative vote)?

...Adopted cats. Became a citizen. Almost done Masters #2. Don't get me wrong - there were A LOT of downs in there as well, but I'm thankful to be in a pretty good place right now

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

Got a Masters. Travelled. Moved to a new country. PhD. Met a wonderful partner and some fantastic people I love being able to call friends. Experienced a weird and interesting range of work assignments. Hiked and biked more than 2009 me could have imagined...

@DannyPage @footballfactman ^seconded. And if you have >6 people the Revolution expansion can get pretty fun + devious pretty quickly :) Would also recommend Citadels/Love Letter if you're looking for games that are convenient to take travelling

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@SimonGleave @Torvaney I don't think that's the case https://t.co/ZjaFNKomIJ

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

by my count 11 people have entered predictions in each of the past three seasons. Here's the overall leaderboard

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@Paddyc123 Go bigger - straight red for something innocuous = -4 points and still only a one match ban

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

*goes to check fair play standings*

Currently:
England -2
Belgium -3

Least negative score = group winner

@dellowhockey "the refs are going to drop the puck 'x' (15?) seconds after they blow for the icing. If you have too many/the wrong players on the ice you'll get a bench minor"

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

First non league side to reach FA cup quarter finals in >100 years (beat four teams from higher divisions, inc. Burnley)
Won the National League
Won the EFL trophy in their first match at Wembley (beating three League One teams)
V. likely to finish in the League 2 playoff places

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

I was a Lincoln City STH for three seasons, my first blog posts were about them, and I enjoy making beer, so this is a pretty solid Saturday

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

Nice! What a ridiculously successful two seasons https://t.co/DldtiEKUYq

@TransLink Done!

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@translink kudos to the transit supervisor at Bridgeport, who is working wonders trying to get bikes to Tsawwassen.

[James Grayson @JamesWGrayson]

@SimonGleave @TheM_L_G @footballfactman I could. Though I honestly can't think of much more to draw from the datasets I can readily access.
