The Arsenal vs. Hull City: Premiership Match 35, 20 April 2014

Massive waste of talent, couldve been an all time great

Prince, u think the fa cup is as prestigious as it once was? It is a hood trophey but it shouldnt mask the same old problems at arsenal

 

but different kinds of shots will not have the same distributions from 1 plair to the next, so they reflect unequal contributions. independently created shots, shots that hit the goalie or the post and created rebounds, shots that hit John Terry's face, shots deflected for corners, shots that hit arms and earned penalties, shots that earned credibility with the opposition and distorted future defense positioning, shots on one of those days where the team can't create anything etc might b counted separately

the goals per shot stat is interesting and maybe useful, but a team that's trying to create layups and a team that's serious about scoring goals will have players with ratios that reflect team differences, in part

big ups for sharing, but maybe not for using the word "efficiency" as a synonym for "goals per shot". in soccer, if a guy scores a high percentage of his shots but doesn't get very many shots, it might be because he's an inefficient occupant of scarce time, space and possession

 

I don't think the FA Cup is as prestigious as it once was, and I don't think winning it would gloss over any problems at the club. I just want to ********ing win something.

I still have residual hate for Birmingham over the 2011 League Cup final, and that tournament doesn't matter for shit.

 

its not as prestigious, but that doesnt mean its a tinpot trophy.

And no one said winning it glosses over anything. Its been explicitly said several times that winning that trophy wont.

 

Fair enough, it would be a good motivation and hopefully some pressure release....if we win it

 

New thread?

 

it is not a hood trophy! Sure it's not the league or the Champions League, but it's a good trophy. It's more prestigious than the Copa Del Rey or Coppa Italia.

 

That was a typo lol i meant good

 

Some day a war is gonna be started because of a social media typo. . Luckily this was just chatter a out the fa cup. Phew.

 

9am kick off...on my day off....Doesn't sound too awful to me.

I could use the break.

With no Arsenal or F1 on Sat/Sun, it's quite possible that I may accumulate more than 8 hours sleep between Friday and Monday for a change.

 

It was a typo worth making.

 

Tunnel Camera for Hull-Arsenal

 

The one for the fa cup semi was more concise. But thanks for sharing.

Cool to see the interactions btw. Certain players and the officials in the tunnel.

And who was that guy in the gray coat with sagna. An injured hull player? (I think he went into hull's locker room)

 

Yeah, noticed him too. He got Sagna's jersey at the end.
Arteta mentioned his tooth to the ref at the beginning of the second half.
