Don't worry ill stick another tenner on a Bolton win. Done it for their last two matches and they haven't won. I'm quid's out.

One chicken, two chickens, three chickens.....
IF it happens, it will indeed be a very good achievement.

You clearly do a lot of work on stats in football. I hope it brings you joy and wealth.
I personally couldn't give less of a monkey's about average discrepancy to the chances/goal average, xG, or any of it.
I watch football for fun, for the joy of that moment when the ball hits the net, the intake of breath as a defender is beaten. The satisfaction of winning a game. The shared pleasure of a successful season. 
I don't understand what you are saying, why you are saying it, or what joy you get from following football. 
Maybe if you diluted your intensely dry and rather hectoring stats lessons with a post or two about the actual football, or the Rams generally, folks would treat you with less disdain.

Are you being held captive, tap once for yes.

Folks, please. Are we capable of losing at Cambridge? Are Bolton capable of smashing Port Vale 4-0 at home?
We aren't remotely there yet. Keep the champagne in the box, and only put it on ice if we win on Saturday.

We've earned nowt, scraped nowt and done nowt yet.

Been trying not to look at text updates every 30 seconds, but failed completely to do that for the last 15 minutes.
What a result. 
I think we can relax just that touch now at Cambridge. The knowledge that a draw isn't the end of the world means we can play with that bit more freedom, and feels to me like it'll make victory more likely.
I feel...optimism? Is that what this is? It's been so long!

I'm sure every fan wants to see flowing football combined with winning - who wouldn't? However, given a choice of losing a match 3-2 or scraping a 1-0 win, when I wake up on a Sunday morning and my thoughts return to the previous afternoon, it's the win every time.
The McClaren and Lampard seasons gave us some exciting matches (without any EFL restrictions) but ultimately, when I think back to those times, my first thought is one of failure and what had gone before fades into the distance.

Joe Wildsmith's diving header to save a point might be the key touch of the whole season.

Oh dear. That just means it's going to hit you like a bus when we contrive a way to balls it up.

Well mate, we gave it a bloody good go!
Congratulations to Pompey for finishing in top spot, and here's to us joining them in promotion, very, very soon!  🐏

Funny old game. 1 chance in 10 Shrewsbury get something, but you never know.

It was a joke at Rachel Riley's expense after her latest rant.
