Why we shouldn’t use penalties when assessing a forward's quality:

Data nerds would never let Nuñez leave by the way

[Laurie @LFCLaurie]

Klopp wanted to spend £85m on Nunez, and Klopp wanted to hand out long-term deals to Milner and Henderson.

Having him so heavily involved in transfers was not a good thing. Data nerds with no sentiment or loyalty at all is a huge upgrade in that deportment.

Just took my road test for the first time and failed

If anybody has an edit of either Messi losing the WC and Copa America finals before going on to win, or something similar with Salah for the 2018 and 2018 UCL Finals, send them my way to spam at my friends 😭

I’m planning to make a return to posting with some end of 2023 awards (ex: player of the year, XI of the year). Anyone have any ideas for what could be other fun/interesting awards to give?

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

There’s been some very poor refereeing this season, but that’s just down to the refs making poor decisions.

I find it extremely hard to believe that refs would intentionally do poor jobs just to help their favorite football clubs.

Their job surely matters more to them

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

Little known fact: Mikel Arteta was famously the first ever manager to call out refs in the Premier League!

Managers complain about refs all the time, Arteta calling the decision vs Newcastle a disgrace is not enough to send “shockwaves” through PGMOL

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

@AFCAMDEN Genuinely not worth watching anymore, the corruption is unreal. Clear clear calls yesterday especially the Luiz kick on Jesus.

That Arteta Newcastle rant sent shockwaves through the PGMOL. They probably have a dart board with his face on at HQ. We are done for.

“PGMOL only hate my club, and even though fans of the other clubs will tell you the same about their team, I swear the agenda is actually against my team”

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

Griezmann’s World Cup and League numbers weren’t THAT far off Messi’s (certainly creatively at the World Cup, his numbers were actually a bit better than Messi’s).

21st is a SHOCK

Ranked at the 21st place for the 2023 Men's Ballon d'Or!

For one of my college applications I have to describe an experience I’ve had with my chosen major (data science) and so I’m talking about running this account and man I realized I’ve really missed posting

Should be back to regular content soon once my deadlines have passed

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

I’m not even sure if he suffered any abuse in this match, but I’m just not sure where this idea that he’s “playing the victim” when reporting racist abuse comes from

The performance and the player should have nothing to do with it, racist fans should not be allowed in stadiums

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

Racism towards players is only bad if the player is performing well apparently

[𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗠𝗚☝🏻 🇫🇷⁷ @TopMGSzn]

Did f*ck all in the match, went off pumping his fists and provoking the crowd to the extent where Ancelotti had to pull him off the pitch.

He'll later complain about how some random guy in row Z called him a 🐒 and steal Bellingham's thunder.

I reckon Papa Perez will actively look forward to offloading this guy once Mbappé joins.

If you have ended up seeing this @PatrickBVS, I thank you for the years of fantastic content and wish you all the best in the future! (8/8)

[Statistical Football Analysis @Statistical_FA]

I don’t expect that he’ll see this, given the number of DMs and quote tweets he’s already gotten, but I wanted to just put this message out there.

I’m currently in the midst of my college application process, applying as a data science major

It may seem a bit silly to credit someone I’ve never met for my major, but truly, Patrick was a huge part of my initial interest in data in football, and has (along with Football Daily as a whole) even influenced the way I analyze and write on this account.
