Today’s games 20/21 season

[WW1963]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Man City win it.

Always makes me wonder when I see people point to where Man City’s money comes from as a reason why they shouldn’t be where they are and are undeserving of winning something like the CL.

Like the clubs who do normally win it don’t spend obscene amounts on players, wages, agents etc.

But then they suggest it isn’t just about the money, it’s where it’s from. Those same ethics that don’t matter when it comes to sponsorship deals the entitled clubs have with questionable links.

And that goes back to Liverpool spending bigger than everybody back in the 80's.

Blackburn are often cancelled in Premier League/Premiership history because they 'had a sugar daddy'. Likewise, Man City 'bought success' but with blood money.

You would think that Liverpool won their European Cups and Champions League trophies with a bunch of ex miners all plucked from local playing fields.

Always felt even when Barcelona were " The Team " in Europe that Gerald Pique was totally over rated and it was Carlos Puyol who was the class in that centre back pairing and I have seen nothing since Carlos ( imagine what that incredible hair must look like in lockdown ! ) retired to change my opinion.

Mind you I am jealous of Pique because he can go home and when the wife says " How was your day Darling " all Gerald has to say is " Awful Shakira Darling so if you could do the hips don't lie thing for me I would feel a whole better ! "

 

[Norman Bell]

Brilliant finish for Mbappe's third goal, oozes confidence to take it on like that

Mbappe is utter class and a far superior player to the in my view totally over rated Neymar. In fact PSG look a better team without the Brazilian diva in the line up.

 

[JR WAS KING]

I should go back to bed - it's 49

I was going to say, didn't we play 15 games last season alone?

While I don't agree that Neymar is totally overrated I do agree that Mbappe is utter class. Doing his best to give us an idea of what the Brazilian Ronaldo could have been had he avoided those injuries (and no doubt a few parties!)

Yes, it was a shambolic reply lol

Nuno v Mick next season would be one to look forward to. Just a pity it's horrible Cardiff.

Rush from Chester
Nicol from Ayr
Hansen from Patrick Thistle
Aldridge from Oxford
Lawrenson from Brighton
Neal from Northampton
Whelen from the Irish league
Lee from the youth team
Staunton from Dundalk
All played for 80s Liverpool.

they spent money as well but plenty of other teams did the same.

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

Question for the stattos. Tonight is Liverpool’s 407th game in Europe. It’s Leipzig’s 41st
How many have we played ??

No wonder they’ve gone down hill 407 games in Europe, knew UEFA were milking it, but that’s a lot of games and they aren’t even in the final yet. They must be knackered.
we haven’t played in Europe this season - we faffed around after restart

do I win a prize?

Mick whinging when they have at least two sent off....

Hard to judge so far, five games and all against sides from the bottom half of the table. Next three should give a better idea and to be honest Cardiff were a play off side last year and now have a good championship level manager so the play offs should be the expectation.

" How was your day Darling " all Gerald has to say is " Awful Shakira Darling so if you could do the hips don't lie thing for me I would feel a whole better ! "

I downloaded the mental image.

Just to stay on topic.


How hot is Shakira?

When I saw this photo my first thought was " I did not know that nutty Walter Zenga had taken up refereeing ! "

Burnley vs Fulham at 6pm. What’s best from this one ?

 

[WS10Wolf]

Burnley vs Fulham at 6pm. What’s best from this one ?

A Fulham win is damaging to Albion, makes the Geordies worry and means Sean Dyche loses. What’s not to like?!

This. We can afford to be magnanimous towards Fulham after last few results.
Let the Boggies, Burnley and Geordies suffer now the immediate pressure is off.

Living in Newcastle I want the Geordies to stay. Don't have much of a soft spot for them but it's an easy away game for me and I get to meet up with lots of Wolves supporting friends who have travelled up for the game. Plus Wolves fans always have a good time in the toon. I might be biased but it's one of the friendliest away days of the season. Well, apart from the League Cup game a few years back right after we had beaten them up there 2-1 in the league. There was a bit of aggro at the end but mainly caused by a small group of Wolves fans in the away end (which was moved to the bottom tier of a corner) who were abusive and acted like complete tools for the whole game and didn't watch any of it. I like my trips to Fulham too, but would prefer Newcastle to stay up.

Shouldn’t matter unless wolves implode ...a draw helps neither though.

 

[JOSWolf]

Small Heath losing yet again after 5 minutes.

 

[Miniwolf]

Flum take the lead at Burnley, scrappy goal 0-1

50k crapping themselves in Newcastle....

 

[SuperGran]

1-1 now

 

[Miniwolf]

50k crapping themselves in Newcastle....

Not for long.. 1 -1 Barnes

 

[WS10Wolf]

1-1. Ashley Barnes with a first touch so poor it fools the keeper and leaves the goal empty.

 

[Macman]

50k crapping themselves in Newcastle....

50k in Newcastle, and me

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Sat through the first 45 minutes of that borefest.

Said to my Daughter to put what she wanted on for a bit. Check the score after a few mins of the 2H and it's 1-1.

They were the biggest spenders.

I can see you are a man of distinction

Is it really that bad, hardly head butting him. Just kind of stood his ground. Bit of excitement over nothing unless I am missing something.

 

[WickedWolfie]

But is he refined and good looking?

 

[Tring Wolf]

Great result at Burnley.

What on Earth are Juventus doing at Porto?!

Cov losing 0-2 at home. Looks like their sojourn in the Chump might be brief.

 

[WW1963]

Two dropped points for Fulham tonight. Had that down as one of their must win games.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Brentford lost against Barnsley on Sunday, find themselves suddenly 2-1 down tonight after QPR score twice in five minutes... they can't throw it away yet again, can they?

Looking through the Championship results and table... my God, that feels a long way away now, doesn't it? All those years toiling in that bloody pit of misery...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Everton 0 Citeh 1 - Foden. After a rocky start Cancelo doesn't half look a player....

 

[bilstonwolf]

Haaland brace before half time, water is wet

 

[tamwolf]

What I would give go have two midfielders like Foden and Bernardo Silva playing in front of Neves for Wolves. Both a joy to watch.
