I'm happy to say Version 1.0.0 is now out and working with data so far from this season, all of last season and the Premier League in 24/25.
Lots of new features and UI upgrades to make ease of use better + addition of Expected Points this season too.

I'm happy to finally release an early version of a little database, free for all to use in analysis. I've added all Chelsea 25/26 match reports so far for all competitions.
I hope to add past seasons and more detailed stats too in the future.

Had to read 2 days of āTuchel is evil and petty discourseā because 2 non pen goal this season Palmer didnāt get called up.
Good to see āabout to have game of his life out of spiteā Palmer managed a singular shot today and did, well, nothing for the rest of the match
The club died the moment we sacked Tuchel for disliking being micromanaged by random Americans who knew nothing about football.
We sacked the guy who got the soul of this club and stood by us in quite literally our worst months as a club in decades
Was fine when they downed it under Rosenior.
When it happens again i will act like every single one of our fans did last season and vindicate these players
Looking past the obvious rage bait a lot of people clearly didn't get, a lot of you are simply unable to balance your opinions. After we win a game the narrative HAS to be positive because you're 'supporting your club'.
The Barco who's allegedly really good never gets played. I wonder why?
I was insulted by everyone for saying he won't work in the PL, yet alonso doesn't trust him. Why?
I think Jeff is being very generous, and has been all season.
Profiling has been crap, intent has been crap, and the tactics have been average all season.
We arenāt coached in possession. We arenāt confident. We arenāt set up well at all.
Coaching is all about profiles. Xabi got that wrong and that cost us in the first half. Itās always been one of his strengths as a coach so surprised at some of the errors this season, but it is a new team.
Also not seeing the off ball runs heās normally associated it or we saw against Fulham. Also not seeing a willingness to access the central players and encourage them to pass, move and connect centrally. Itās key for breaking down these low blocks. Almost like we avoid it actually and just look for the wide areas. These things will need to change if we are to become a good in possession team.
Palmer dropping into the 6 to receive the ball and turn with no runners is not a good idea.
We never penetrate centrally. We lump it up and try and win second balls, which is always hard at Sunderland and why we didnāt create anything.
Iām not going to say too much before some very angry people go and start hurling insults in my comments again but this is basically a performance on tune with a pretty crap manager, some really overrated players and some really fine players just never playing for whatever reason
Referee being abysmal has lowkey hidden the fact weāve been awful again.
Defenders rag-dolled and again, very little to offer in possession
No poppy in profile picture, that fake footballer back at RB as Josh now randomly gets injured by Xabiās very obviously overloading fitness regimen
Fun!
Iām a big believer in data but also love the intangible side of this stuff.
The Leverkusen late goals were dodgy beyond any realm of comprehension.
Certain dudes in football do just intangibly have some sort of āauraā that lets these things happen.
Hopefully Xabi brings it
Because him and his fundamentalist fans have never played the sport.
It's all 'tactics' and 'shapes' and 'overloads' with basically no respect to anything else that goes into these elements of the sport
Leeds 1-3 was the ultimate nonsense from the fanbase.
Santos defending an island like a SAM site and people were like 'yeah but the 3-1-4-2 was nice because Delap and JP were pinning defenders so we could overload between the lines'
