Saturday Night Spies
Unsure but it felt like LVG had over 10 the one season.Still no 0-0s this season.
Anyone know what the record is?

Also a fair distance between where the foul happened to where the free kick was takenThat goal should not stand, the ball was still moving when they took the freekick (I think)

I think a few sports economists have run the numbers on home advantage and come to the conclusion it was almost entirely down to fans influencing the referees in small ways that tipped the balance. Take that away there wasn't much to home advantage.That’s completely bonkers. I speculate that home advantage is reversed because the home side are disturbed psychologically because they don’t have the home crowd behind them. It doesn’t feel right for them.
I'm a scientist but not an expert on this subject by any means. In short, though, yes. There's definitely a significant (in the strict statistical sense) interaction in that crowds influence refs' decisions in their favour. I'm not sure exactly how big the effect is but it's "big enough".It doesn't affect performance too much but it has a big affect on the refs doesn't it?
Weren't they shown to be much fairer towards away sides since there were no crowds?
Bit harsh on the commentators.Anyone else got some weird sound coming out their TV?
Nah I just broke windAnyone else got some weird sound coming out their TV?
Hahaha seriously though. Its sending me bonkers!Bit harsh on the commentators.
KekBit harsh on the commentators.
Why the Feck are you watching West Ham?Hahaha seriously though. Its sending me bonkers!
6 of 24 home games won seems to suggest there‘s potentially a new dynamic going on though.I think a few sports economists have run the numbers on home advantage and come to the conclusion it was almost entirely down to fans influencing the referees in small ways that tipped the balance.

you know the answer already. Leicester's 2-5 win had nothing to do with the three penalties whereas when United win by 4 goals, its everything to do with the one penalty.So erm, is everyone gonna start cry wanking about Leicester getting 3 pens today, or is it just when United get one?
Nothing else on. That said, im tempted to tune in to family fortunes at 8.Why the Feck are you watching West Ham?
It's a very small sample size compared to what they're used to dealing with but, as you say, this is also a whole new paradigm: long consecutive stretches of elite games being played with no crowds whatsoever. You'd have to control for general start-of-season unpredictability, among other factors, but I agree that it's not nothing.6 of 24 home games won seems to suggest there‘s potentially a new dynamic going on though.
Pretty sure that similar happened in Germany when the started their season again after the first lockdown.It's a very small sample size compared to what they're used to dealing with but, as you say, this is also a whole new paradigm: long consecutive stretches of elite games being played with no crowds whatsoever.

It'd certainly be worth conducting more research on the post-CV games, and I'm sure that will be done in due course. Probably as soon as the crowds are back to normal capacity to maximise the sample size of games.
The 'heritage' rinse and repeatYes he did. I saw the interview he did
One Man And His Dog is on...better than the cockney cnutsNothing else on. That said, im tempted to tune in to family fortunes at 8.
Yeah, I remember some news articles about that. As I say, I think you're right that there's something there. I'm looking forward to a rigorous academic analysis so we can hopefully learn something new.Pretty sure that similar happened in Germany when the started their season again after the first lockdown.
Of the 24 games it looks like away teams were generally the better teams on paper, so the starting assumption would be it's those two established factors working together: better teams generally win, home or away, and refs tip the balance in tight games in favour of the home team. It's 3 rounds of a random fixture list after all. The general premise underlying the analysis should remain the same, in that there's little evidence that home teams "play better" at home, it's just the small margins of official decisions that make it seem that way. In a game like footy a game can flip on a couple of marginal decisions. You can find all kinds of statistical quirks from small sample sizes too, e.g. just two draws seems unusual at this stage. Then regression to the mean starts to play a role.6 of 24 home games won seems to suggest there‘s potentially a new dynamic going on though.
Haha family fortunes it is.One Man And His Dog is on...better than the cockney cnuts
Yeah, it's sad but true.you know the answer already. Leicester's 2-5 win had nothing to do with the three penalties whereas when United win by 4 goals, its everything to do with the one penalty.
Setup for your lads to win it. Good transfer window, no Europe and got the rest before the start of the season to make a strong start. It would be kind of poetic for Everton to take the title off Liverpool too. If there’s a surprise winner Everton are a good shout.It’s going to be one of those surprise seasons again isn’t it?
I have to admit that they have that Ranieri Leicester aura. At the start of PL. Who knows how far it will take them.Setup for your lads to win it.
