Chris Wilder has discovered an attacking tactic that makes a mockery of Manchester United

Chris Wilder's Sheffield United side have some favourable stats compared to Premier League heavyweights like Manchester United

When the Premier League resumes, Sheffield United will have plenty to play for considering the club's desire to land a spot in next season's Champions League.

The newly-promoted side are currently placed seventh in the table, just two points behind fifth-placed Manchester United.

The success of the Blades stems from Chris Wilder's ability to blend modern concepts with age-old values, with progressive, tactically fluid football combining with industrious, hard-working qualities.

United's appreciation of data is largely unknown behind the scenes, but once delving into a particular habit of how the team attack, there is enough to suggest that Wilder is open to incorporating numbers into decisions.

One of the key pillars of football analytics that has emerged is Expected Goals (xG).

Knockout competition would decide all-island champions under proposed format

Hope Apr 30, 2020 The backers of the proposed All-Island League have decided on the proposed format for the initiative which would see all-island champions crowned through a knockout competition. This would happen at the end of a split season where the League of Ireland and Irish League would retain independence by declaring their own champions. The group has conceded however that the Covid-19 crisis could impact on the financial projections and sponsorship potential that was used to sell the project to clubs across the island. Kerry businessman Kieran Lucid has driven the plan to merge the leagues north and south and has been involved in a lengthy consultation with clubs and other stakeholders that was then guided by Dutch experts Hybercube and their assessment of data provided to them. "The study has shown that there is large upward potential for the game on the island, and this format would give the game a significant lift," the All-Island League Advoc...

OBi Cubana Clears The Air On Those criticizing Him And Calling Him Ritualist

Obi Cubana Has This to Say About His Critics "I want to state this clearly, I am not the talking type or Social media interest-free person" "Many have questioned the type of boys and friends I have, to me, I hardly address anyone as my boy because we are all boys to God Almighty. I don't have any boy who is into rituals, if you are my boy or my man because I like to address my boys as my men, it means you are working hard and you purely made your money. In 2013, I pushed 53 uneducated Oba boys into the market to learn to trade. In 2017, I withdrew all of them from their Ogas and settled all of them with 3million Naira each and paid for their shops. I linked 40 of them into importation and made them use my name and platform to import goods into the country. After two years, I checked on them how they were doing and find out some had issues and I supported them again to stand. I am happy today that out of the 53 men, 38 are billionaires while th...

New discovery shows human cells can write RNA sequences into DNA

Date: June 25, 2021 Source: Thomas Jefferson University Summary: In a discovery that challenges long-held dogma in biology, researchers show that mammalian cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Cells contain machinery that duplicates DNA into a new set that goes into a newly formed cell. That same class of machines, called polymerases, also build RNA messages, which are like notes copied from the central DNA repository of recipes, so they can be read more efficiently into proteins. But polymerases were thought to only work in one direction DNA into DNA or RNA. This prevents RNA messages from being rewritten back into the master recipe book of genomic DNA. Now, Thomas Jefferson University researchers provide the first evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially challenges the central dogma in biology and could have wide implications affecting many fields of biology. This work opens the doo...
