  1. Random goalkeepers you remember

    Tomislav Piplica
  2. Football Analytics

    As an actuary I work a lot with predictive modelling (predicting fair risk premiums for motor insurance based on several attributes of the insurance holder for example), so this new stats obsession in football is quite exciting for me. If anyone wants to go a little more into the machine...
  3. Stanislas Abused.

    Disgusting tweet, but why a thread for a random dude on twitter? This stuff happens every minute.
  4. Where does Seedorf rank in top midfielders in the last 30 years?

    Let's stay realistic here. Keane was better than Scholesy.
  5. Best versions of great players

    - Larsson after his leg break 2000-2001 - bald Roy Keane 1999-2000 -Short haired Raul ~ 2000-2002
  6. Supporting other English teams in European competition...

    fair enough :lol: During my semester abroad in Scotland 6 years ago you all seemed to be lovely people :lol:
  7. Supporting other English teams in European competition...

    Yeah but that's not the best example tbh. Would you cheer for let's say Inverness if they'd reach the final of the Europa League?
  8. Supporting other English teams in European competition...

    It's a lot worse here in Germany.
  9. Rooney vs Solkjaer - Who's the biggest club legend?

    Rooney didn't have the possibility to put United on the map globally as they were already on the map when he joined. He did have a much bigger status in world football though.
  10. Pogba gets a red card — Fernandes a penalty

    I'll take it but there's no way this was a legit penalty.
  11. Pep leaves City by mutual consent

    This is up there with 'Torres signs' and 'Van Gaal sacked'
  12. Was Carrick better than Busquets defensively?

    Carrick was a master defensively. His defensive contributions are probably even harder to spot than his "on the ball" contributions. Closing down spaces and making it hard for the opponent to pass through is a bit of an underrated skill in football. I remember the matches against Bayern Munich...
  13. How great was Rivaldo?

    Does that youtube song still exist? "Rivaldo was a great player, but a difficult personality.." Would add it to my spotify list.
  14. Can you name all 47 CL scorers since 2000?

    37/47 8 of my 10 misses were from 2015 onwards
  15. SAF's CL record actually isn't that bad

    2007-2008 United was better than Barcelona imo. I don't think there was any other team around during that time that could match United. The Barcelona team that came after that season was quite a bit better though.
