It now looks almost certain that the new Premier rules for spending, to be fully introduced in the 25/26 season will be based on player spending caps.
For the majority of clubs, who do not qualify for Europe, then it will be a 85% cap, for those qualifying a 70% cap. The aim is for a figleaf of...
When all is said and done, it was only the failure to hold onto winning positions in two home games, one from the 97th minute, one from the 73rd minute, that has undone our season. Hold onto those positions and its a semi-final vs ManUtd and eigth place, 4 points off sixth, going into the last 7...
The game this weekend against West Ham has become a crucial one if the unexpected promise of this season is to be maintained.
Win, and other results go our way, which is plausible, given the fixtures, and we go up to 7th, with a game in hand
over West Ham. And only three points below Utd...
The current chaos around FFP/PSR, with possible points deductions extending beyond the end of the season, is making many doubt the workability of restricting spending by clubs. Moreover, most know that the main intent of the regulations is to cement the position of the leading, wealthiest six...
We saw on Saturday the inevitable outcome of an over-reliance on digital technology in real time in making rapid tactical decisions.
Old school Robins outsmarts new kid on the block, because he is tuned in to what is actually happening on the pitch.
Oneil left stranded in the moment, unable to...
Stepped up, did the job and backed their coach to the hilt in a full-hearted attempt to turn promise into achievement.
This thread is devoted to those who wish to express their gratitude.
So all three of our main attackers now have hamstring issues.
One, even two might be a coincidence, but three unlikely in the extreme.
Much more likely, Almost certainly a product of being overplayed, and over pushed.
As I understand it, stress tests and scanning should be able to show the...
Steele completely takes out Bellegarde who was chasing a poor backpass, in the first half last night.
Reviewing the incident hard to see that it wasnt a penalty. Its a reckless challenge, two-footed, not just a penalty, but possibly a red card.
Yet the team and the fans didnt seem to appeal.
Anyone sure of what the rules are here. Wolves have Fabio, Guedes and Chinquinho out on loan who could all help out, given Wolves' problems with injuries??
Arrogance breeds detestability, of course, so the top 6 tend to have pretty much a monopoly on everyone's least favoured list.
Even when they are not top 6, its assumed they will return to their rightful place in the near future. But are some more detestable than others,
and are there other...
Last ten games sees Wolves above Arsenal in the form table, same points but with a better GD.
Also scored three more goals than Arsenal in the same period.
Quite remarkable turn of events.
Its now six games of the last eight, where we have conceded an early goal.
Even one of the others, at SheffUtd, we conceded first.
A pattern has clearly emerged. We are now consistently starting games slowly, and not
engaging until behind.
These trends cause players to lose belief in the...
The problem with doing away with VAR is straightforward: we go back to poor calls and bias towards the top clubs.
There is a strong argument for saying that will still be better than the ****show the fans are now having to witness
on a regular basis. At least, the euphoria of celebrating a...
So last four games out show an unbeaten run, P4 W2 D2 L0 F6 A4 Pts 8
Only Tottenham/Arsenal/Newcastle/Villa have longer unbeaten records going, in a season which may be more competitive than for several years.
But all the games have been hard-fought, close encounters, with little sustained...
For me, the best football we have played since Spurs away when Covid arrived.
Both fans and players need to be reminded what this team is capable of if they put their mind to it.
All the facts and quotes are drawn from the four articles/reports linked at the bottom of this post:
"Warren Buffett famously said, 'Volatility is far from synonymous with risk.' When we think about how risky a company is, we always like to look at its use of debt, since debt overload can lead...
