1. **Football / Match talk**

* Multiple threads about *who the team is playing tomorrow* and *the lineup for the next match*.

2. **Statistics / Analytics**

* Someone posted an *“Expected goals table”* — likely a statistical breakdown or advanced metric discussion.

3. **Music / Pop Culture Trivia**
