Today’s games - 2021-22

[JadeWolf]

Wycombe beat Franchise FC on aggregate to go through to the League One playoff final. Gareth Ainsworth looking more and more like Michael Bolton as the seasons go by. Theo Corbeanu looked good for MK Dons.

Corbeanu was great until the final ball. Much like a lot of our forwards/wingers! He definitely needs a loan in the Championship next season.

Wolves v Brentford, referee tells Marcal stop grabbing he does not and pulls Brentford player to floor, yellow card and penalty to Brentford
( correct decision )

City v Newcastle, referee tells Byrne stop grabbing he does not and pulls City player to floor, yellow card and NO penalty.

Yet another in the never ending line of inconsistent interpretation of the rules by Premier League Referees

I posted this on another thread, has one other penalty been awarded this season for grabbing in the box at set pieces? I can’t remember another. Seriously don’t get why we are so harshly punished. Greenwood’s goal for United? The ref had twice stopped play for non head injuries to United players, **** all for us.

I know it’s a football fans view to believe they’re hard done to, but this season I genuinely do think we’ve had sone really ****ty decisions

The ball wasn't in play when Byrne was booked, so I don't think the penalty was given.

Marcal pulled after the ball was kicked, so it was in play and a penalty.

 

[Monketron]

Comparing Greasy to Hoddle or Gazza is frankly embarrassing

Said he was in their mould not that he was as good.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

I find it strange that people are living in the 1970s and hoping Leeds get relegated.
It’s 2022 and an away day at Leeds is far preferable to an away day at Burnley.
For those living in the 70’s or those that sit at home watching on sky, you may want Burnley to stay up over Leeds. But for those that actually go to away games, Leeds is an order of magnitude a better day out than Burnley.
You either want to play in the best league in the world and play teams like Leeds and Everton or you want to play Burnley.

They'll still be dirty leeds this time next century.

 

[Norman Bell]

They murdered them but just couldn't score. Stockdale in goal was unbelievable. Got to say, Wycombe's defence was superb. Backs to the wall stuff.

While Wycombe deserved their win I hope that Sheffield Wednesday or Sunderland go up as it would be nice for the WBA Official Supporters Club to travel to one of those big capacity grounds in the 12 seater transit and Fiat 500 they use for away day travel so they can see home areas where there are a lot of fans and not swathes of empty seats as there are at the Poorthorns

Atletico Madrid still beating Real Madrid 1-0, but they could be 3-0 up. Vallejo took a bad kick to the head, but I think his hair do saved him a more serious injury. He is back on the pitch now.

He’s been as bad as I remember at Wolves!!

Ps you take Benzema out of RM and it’s not RM !!!

 

[Stourport wolf]

A very one sided 1-0 at the moment, but you just know that Real Madrid will get something out of the match.

Atletico had more attacks in this match than the whole season

That was a tense last 10 minutes. Athletico should have buried then earlier on. Deserved win overall.

But holding grudges and schadenfreude in general is all part of being a football fan, completely illogical maybe but it’s all part of the fun .

Liverpool got one the other week but that’s the only one I can recall. Ridiculous if there’s only 2 all season given all the pulling and pushing that goes on.

Must admit I can’t remember it, amazing it wasn’t against them……. Oh wait is it 48 games now since they conceded one? Think we’ve conceded 12 in the last 48 games, staggering

Raul to score one in the 98th minute to deny them the title then!!

Shocked more hasn’t been made of s****horpe playing kids at Bristol rovers.

Doesn't drive the play forward btw

Interesting how those stats conflict with what I think I see.

As someone once said, there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

And me, surely they should have played their first team for a game that was going to have a major bearing on the promotion race. I wonder if Northampton Town will lodge a complaint with the FA.

 

[kidder_wolf_II]

In their defence S****horpe started with 8 players who had started their previous game v Hartlepool (and drew)

I would image if those 2 games didn’t include their more senior players it’s because those players have been told they are being released in the summer so didn’t want to risk injuries and also what’s the point playing players who won’t be there next season?

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Weds v Sunderland so so poor. I just remember how good our Lg 1 side was that one season. Good memories.

Or you know, you might be wrong?

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Or you know, you might be wrong?

I might be.

Or the statistics might just relate to a smallish number of minutes or appearances highlighting the fact that he rarely starts because he does not add much to the Man City way of playing. Or not. Either way, I know what I see.

Perhaps his impact will be more noticeable next season after he has used this one to “bed in”.

Either way I’m not overly bothered.

25 games worth of minutes, but yeah neither am I. He is a top player, elite ball progressor

He is. No disputing that. City play a totally different system and it would take a while to get used to it.

Can you imagine the level of stonewall it would have to be for the ref to give a penalty in those circumstances.

Yeah i read Pep longer term fancies him in the midfield more

Great pass by Bannon. Carl Robinson at Elland Road 1998 esque.

I couldn't see Sheffield Wednesday scoring, they had offered very little up to then.

 

[Ponty]

Every time I’ve seen Barry Bannan in last couple of seasons he’s been best player on the pitch by far.

Same.

Hadn't had a touch in the Sunderland box in the 2H until 70 odds minutes.

 

[worc_wolf]

Jack Clarke for Sunderland looks a quality player

 

[manchesterwolf17]

He's a top end Championship player. Ridiculous he's in League 1 really. Bit like when Sako was there with us.

Was supposed to be a starlet coming through at Villa I think wasn't he?

Yeh. Then sort of went down hill a bit the same time they did. He's a good player though. Far too good for his teams current level.

Yeah had a very good career, got to keep perspective ain't you. 420 odd games in the football league, majority top 2 divisions. Brilliant really compared to how most youth team players go

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Peach of a ball out of defence by Danny Batth to set up Sunderland's goal in the third minute of 10 minutes of injury time at Hillsborough. I'd like to see Sunderland go up, their fans have suffered enough. Good game, each team have been going at it hammer and tongs since Wednesday scored to make it level on aggregate. Sunderland got the crucial goal. Still 3 mins left of the injury time.

As soon as Batth looked up, I thought 'Row Z'.

Apparently not!

80,000 for the 2 legs in L1 is tremendous

I love Hillsborough as a ground. Even though the capacity isn't that high compared to some grounds, it looks massive when you're there. Proper old school British football stadium.
