Today's Games 2022-23.

[wolfslair]

Had no idea Bellamy was Kompany's assistant manager.

Good decision that is.

 

[Spitfire]

Burnley lost Pope, Tarkowski, Mee, McNeil, Weghorst, not to mention Collins, yet they are making this look like a Cup tie against a non-league team. Not sure if that means they're good or Huddersfield are shocking - probably a bit of both.

Huddersfield losing their manager recently and also losing a few players too probably hasn’t helped them.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Impressed with Joel Nouble ( Frank’s brother ) playing up top for Livingstone. Took his goal well , running his socks off and a right pain in Rangers’ back side

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Rangers booed off at half time according to the radio.

Rangers booed off at half time according to the radio.

Yep. Looks like 80% of crowd are rangers. They’ve had loads possession with no shot on target. Still expect them to win this

Fabio on bench for Anderlecht this afternoon v Cercle Bridge.

Fabio on bench for Anderlecht this afternoon v Cercle Bridge.

Will be worth trying to watch the last 15 minutes or so, if his few minutes is as dramatic as last weeks! A goal, created an open goal for another player who missed appallingly and he very nearly got a second goal for himself. In 9 minutes.

BTW According to world club performance rankings, Cercle Brugge are ranked around 300th in the world, about level with Bristol City. These things are always estimates, but at least gives a rough idea of quality, so they are around mid-table Championship.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Corbeanu is on the bench for Blackpool.

 

[old wittonian]

Anderlecht had a man sent off.
0-0 at half time.

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Fabio should feel right at home. Anderlecht with zero shots first half.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Fabio on to start the 2nd half.

* Game’s actually a good watch.

How did Anderlecht have no shots first half?

 

[Aimless Balls]

How did Anderlecht have no shots first half?

I don’t know, I just started watching 2nd half because I only care to watch Fabio.

 

[JonahWolf]

How did Anderlecht have no shots first half?

Surely, we of all fans, should know how you go about having 0 shots first half.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Fabio off the bar with his left peg, hit it first time. Tight angle.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Anderlecht are ****

 

[wolfslair]

This could be a great loan for Fabio to help prove the doubters wrong when he returns next season

 

[Dan G WWFC]

Going forward it's just players being selfish and making terrible decisions and then they just concerned a shocking goal.

 

[Contrarian]

Fabio on to start the 2nd half.

No VAR?

 

[Aimless Balls]

No VAR?

No caution.

 

[Aimless Balls]

Haaland and Grealish are having a bad hair contest.

 

[Contrarian]

Ended 1-0 to Cercle Brugge. I thought Fabio did OK. No worse than the rest of them! Was quite involved, perhaps had the ball at his feet more often than he has when in the Premier League. He seemed more ambitious than he does in the Premier, which makes sense. Unlikely to get punished by losing the ball and seeing the ball in your own net a few seconds later in this league.

 

[Andy]

**** off Liverpool

 

[manchesterwolf17]

**** off Liverpool

What they done?

 

[Aimless Balls]

Made me think Liverpool scored and my feed was way behind.

 

[Contrarian]

What they done?

Exist.

 

[moseleyite]

Salah looking pretty sharp so far

 

[Andy]

What they done?

Nothing, aside from booing the anthem again, I just can’t stand them.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Nothing, aside from booing the anthem again, I just can’t stand them.

Oh right. Good on them then.

 

[moseleyite]

1-1 in side-nettings

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Liverpool are the only team in the world capable of playing against Man City the way they do.

Even the likes of Real Madrid and PSG are forced to soak up the pressure and try and break. Liverpool go head to head.

 

[Andy]

Oh right. Good on them then.

I’m no royalist either to be fair, and we probably should get city, and applaud Liverpool for keeping up with them, I just can’t stand Liverpool fans.

 

[moseleyite]

It's fair to say that both teams want it... there's a real intensity about the match

 

[moseleyite]

1-0 Liverpool ... they've looked the most likely so far. Well finished by TAA

Edit: actually flicked in by Ake.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Christ, Pep's gonna have to spend another 100m just to be sure at this rate.

 

[Andy]

Fantastic finish

 

[moseleyite]

That Burgundy colour on the man-city neck-line is weird... it makes the strip look like a West Ham away shirt...

 

[Jack Russell]

Liverpool dominating at the moment and leading 1-0 with an Alexander-Arnold goal at 21 minutes.

 

[old wittonian]

Giles starts for Boro against WBA.

 

[moseleyite]

Giles starts for Boro against WBA.

You know, it had completely escaped my attention that the Championship had kicked off this weekend... I didn't even know that the Whateveritisnow Shield was on until I flicked through the channels. So out of touch!

Come on Boro!
