Papers worth the commute

Twelve papers I've actually read, not just added to a folder called 'To Read' that mocks me every time I open my laptop. Half of it's football analytics, because someone has to explain why my marking is statistically indefensible. The other half is machine learning classics I use at work and pretend to fully understand at parties. Best consumed on a delayed Central line train, ideally between the Tate and a Sunday League warm-up.
