I still have a ways to go eliminating pointless words, but sensiblepuffin and Astrealix were absolutely correct that Fuck and Fucking feature very prominently.

Raya is up there too, with Kai. Does that mean Havertz was as good as Raya was poor?

I think I will exclude anything I recognise as a username in the next one, and I also want to add weighting for how many upvotes the comment the word came from got. I also want to make it look nicer - this is the default for the package I was using.

I feel pretty good about this for a first pass. Let me know what you guys think I can change.

    Tbh I think this shows how much we feel strongly about Kai and Raya lol, Raya for good reasons but Kai really didn’t have too special a game IMO though he was good, just that besides the goal i felt like there were players that were definitely better on the pitch not showing up here (rice is relatively tiny, for example)

      I think it’s also affected by the way we refer to particular players - declan and rice appear separately and similar sized but I would guess people refer to either declan or rice. Maybe I can account for this somehow, and count players as a single word regardless of how they’re referred to. Kai would probably be the biggest by far if Havertz was counted together. Whereas saka and raya are going to be pretty accurate reflections of how frequent. I will consider ways to handle this at the weekends game!
