Leyqute: LooL. On Nairaland, cowards bet with body parts. That’s why Eruditor or whatever his name was, disappeared into the abyss like the fart of a leprous witch.
Real people like Raum.deuter bet with real cash. And they honor their wager at the end.
Put down your money or get lost.
Stop being a coward. Put down your balls or get lost.
Leyqute: Mr. Man there’s no need for all this shalaye. Put your money where your mouth is. 100$ or 10k naira. Can you swear that city will win the league this season?
Your balls or nothing. On Nairaland we bet with body parts. I didn't make the rules
If it’s 10k naira you’re comfortable with, let’s do that. I hate time wasters. Put your money where your mouth is.
When you are done making noise you will put your balls on the line. I don't want your money but your balls. I want you to be useless for life so next time you won't make empty posts. Swear with your balls that City won't win the league. Leave all these editing and fake pictures.
Back to serious conversation. If you have been following City closely, you will know spending has always remained the same but now the focus is different. Any talk about the 115charges affecting City is just poppycock. Wishful thinking from rivals and clowns. We were willing to buy Bellingham for 120 million before he choose Madrid, we dropped an 100million bid for Rice, nearly got Paqueta for 80million before the deal fell off and we were prepared to spend above 100m again for wirtz.
If you’ve got the BALLS, put your cash on the table.
You’ve been talking about wagering with your balls but you fit no get any sef.
I can also pluck any picture from the internet and put my name on it. You think you have done something. Wager your balls that City won't win the league. Swear with your balls that Liverpool or Arsenal will win the league.
City didn’t spend much in the last 3 years! Okay we hear. But didn’t you think they have gathered all the players they needed to last them that three years?
Now it’s over because those players are losing form and growing old. Hahaha
This is a foolish post. Only 3 players in that city squad is above 31. Kdb Long term replacement is Foden, Walker is already being phased out for Lewis and Gundogan was brought back to be a bench option. How old is Van dijk and Salah that Liverpool are using to top the table?
Leyqute: Olodo. City are in this current mess because they can’t spend unhindered like before..
Balderdash. City haven't spent much over the last 3 seasons yet they have won the league. You can't put your balls on the line that city won't win the league come May. Kdb is injured, Rodri the best player in the world is out of the season, Dias is injured, Foden is in terrible form same as Gundogan. Our current form has nothing to with spending you dimwit. When we were winning earlier in the season you didn't type this nonsense about not spending. I am certain when we go on a winning spree and win the league in May, you will be amongst those calling Pep a cheque book manager.
Leyqute: Those 115 charges destroyed City. Normally they would have spent 100m on another top defender or winger to boost their rank. But they can’t do that anymore.
After winning the league Pep bought Grealish for 100m. He still had Sterling and co in his squad at that time o. Talk about chèque book manager.
This is why some people rate Mourinho and Klopp above him.
City spend money you complain. City don't spend money you still complain. When City wins the league for the 5th time in a row come May, all these useless posts will come back to bite you in the ass.
Amigoss: No noise pollution about Palmer ,Curtis iwinosa Jones successfully manmarked,froze ice cold and still went upfront to do the damage
That's a typical performance from Palmer against the top 4 teams without penalties. He has zero goals from open play against teams that finished in the top 4 last season. Better than Foden they said lol.
Pep starting Grealish who hasn't scored in 2024 and Bernardo on the wings who hasn't scored in 20games is starting to annoy me. Two non threatening wingers with zero goal threats or dribbles.
nateevs: Not jumping on this argument but this is bad deductive reasoning. Every player has a dedicated penalty taker for a reason. And the reason is that said player offers XG of 0.8 scoring the goal.
But statistically, this is just one player from a squad of 26. This XG does not translate to more than 1/26th of each sample size. Therefore your extrapolation is wrong.
If you are to measure approximate XG per player in each squad, average XG per squad may drop down to 0.2, making it the generally acceptable XG for penalties across the board.
Every penalty has an Xg of 0.8 without taking the penalty taker into account. Be it goalkeeper, defender or even the ball boys it remains fixed at 0.8. It's the shot in football with the highest xG. 80% of penalties result in a goal.
hensben: We are talking of this season you bringing under 17 like Palmer didn’t win under 21 euro championship. Are you aware Palmer is PFA fan player of the season, in other words, fans think Palmer is the best player this season.
BlueMann: You people exaggerate too damn much. Palmer created more chances per game and created more big chances (17-10), played more through balls, had better take on success. How can you say that Palmer wasn't even close to Foden in terms of performance?
Foden created more chances than Palmer, created more big chances from open play, completed more take ons, more Goals and assists from open play, more layoffs, better conversion rate, more match winning goals from open play etc. The only metric Palmer trumped Foden was through balls which can be credited to the different team set up.
Itsrm: Even if we remove penalties, 27GA vs 24 GA. One played 4,274 minutes, the other played 3, 734 minutes but they are not close to each other in terms of performance.
90 × 38 matches doesn't even get to 3500 minutes yet you have conjured fake minutes from thin air.
Amoto94: No matter what xg tells you if you don't score xg is useless. A player composure in front of goal is more relevant than what xg says (xg no dey score goal). Those who played football in the past paid little to no attention to xg/a but they focussed on their finishing and score goals.
Stop embarrassing yourself. It's becoming obvious you know nothing. From maths to basic reasoning.
Penalty is not easy as you think. Foden shooting technique on pk is poor. The fact that Palmer do it easily doesn’t mean it is easy, it takes a lot of techniques.
Penalties are easy that's why they have an Xg is 0.8. 80 out of 100 times they go on. Am wasting my time on people arguing against basic maths.
Amoto94: Expected earnings doesn't translate to earnings when you dont earn anything. Just because xg says that 8 out 10 times will go in if you don't score them the xg is useless. What's the xg of Kolo Muani's shot that was saved by Martinez in WC finals? XG doesnt mean anything
You are just demonstrating you have problem with maths. How do you think expected earnings will be calculated if you don't earn anything that will make you richer than Elon. xG of 0.8 already proves penalties are easy. Whatever else you are arguing has no foundation to stand on.
