C''mon Youri Love, lay one on for Martin.

Was a bit surprised that he's been credited with that one. Pretty significant deflection.

Yeah, but the rule now is it's the attackers goal if the shot is on target.

At least that's what I think it is.

Yep. Wasn't sure whether it was originally headed in or not.
Replay looked like it was top corner bound.

Listening to one of the pods earlier and Mark o Haire said Deccy sasanach bastards 2 goals were 0.04 and 0.06 chances of scoring.

He also said the odds of scoring both those free kicks was 435/1. Do any of ye think he used the xG to work out those odds and if so, how?

You know how to convert % chance of something happening into betting odds, no?

Hmm...that'd entail Arsenal having to leave their own half

Surely they'll have the gonads to at least try and catch them on the break. Madrid are vulnerable at the back. One goal means it takes 5 to lose.

Surely not even Bumnal will fuck this up?
