Him and Dyer up in arms about it. Sometimes you wonder if they actually played the game at all if they think that is acceptable.

Weren't the pair of them sick notes though?

So maybe they missed some if the more aggressive games.

So, this weekend

Everton lost
Villa lost
Chelsea drew
Man City drew
United drew

The top 4 consist of Everton, Liverpool, Villa and Leeds.

Been a pretty goood weekend I reckon

It's the 1980's all over again!

They're not real, the c*nt drew them himself with wax crayons, then ate them, maybe shoved a couple up his ~~nose~~ arse

I think that's what you meant to say ...

I seem to recall Redknapp pouncing around in a white suit once, as for Dyer who knows? Probably injured again.

I'm so happy Leeds are in the league. They've already taken points off City and you just know they'll give everybody else a good game. We don't have to worry about this newcomer rolling over or pulling their pants down for the "Big" teams. Plus, Leeds is bigger than all of them.

Not surprising as it’s Newcastle vs Wolves but man this game is bad so far.

Yeah, not exactly a thrill ride so far.

You'd expect a bit more from Wolves.

I'm going to cut the veg and put the roasties on.

They are blaming us

Carlo Ancelotti on Lucas Digne's red card: "The red card was a joke, it was not intentional, for sure it was not violent. Maybe all this talk all week against Pickford, against Richarlison, affected the decision and if so it's not right, it's not fair. We will appeal, for sure."

Once Everton touch you...

Wolves bore me.

Mind, they are alway so cautious under Nuno, every first half is like this.

There was a stat the other day which says they only start to play in the second half. The first half is all about staying in the game, as you say its pretty cautious considering the players they have.

My current most hated phrase, "the game's gone", people trot it out constantly. What does it actually mean anyway?

I believe it means that Redknapp's resignation in disgust from Sky is imminent.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #1253 on:** October 25, 2020, 05:12:06 pm »

Last week they said that sides at the top get the big decisions going for them.

This week they learnt the harsh lesson that sides at the top are there to be shot at and everyone wants to beat them. They’re not used to that and didn’t handle it too well today.

Tbf, I could see a bit of that in ourselves last season. No idea if the stats back it up, but always felt like we never really wanted to get out of 2nd gear until the 2nd half. Then we’d go one up and start cruising again.

if there ever is a team Liverpool are not comparable to, it’s this dull Wolves team

They are so cautious, they never score in the first half. Pretty sure Liveprool scored more 1st half goals than 2nd half goals last season. And a lot of early goals too.

Is it just me who doesn't see the fuss over Saint-Maximin?

I mean he seems fine, a bit wasteful, but there's some pundits/analysts who put him as one of the most exciting footballers in the league, akin to a young Mane

Haha, it was more that we never seemed to really push for it in the first half. Obviously we still scored a boat load though as we’re dead good, but not because we really turned it on that often, like we could do, but never really needed to

Watching Lee Mason chugging round the pitch like a man running in soft sand, makes me think of Brian Glover in Kes for some reason

Wheres it isn’t as full throttle as it used to be, I still think we went for it a lot early in games, which resulted to plenty of early goals. And of course, if needed, there was that ability to go for it later in games too.

This Wolves team though is something else, it’s the same pattern in pretty much every game. 45 mins of absolute caution, then they try and play early 2nd half and hope one of their very talented attackers/midfielders can get on the board, and bring on Traore if that doesn’t work

They are just so predicatable most of these games.

They remind me a little bit of Houllier's Liverpool (the great treble season aside). Can be a good side but are over cautious, struggle to break teams down, are dependent on the counter attack and therefore don't tend to beat the teams they should be beating.
