Diego Costa

If so it's one hell of a discount

Maybe 8.88%

May be wise for wolves to push through an announcement as quick as they can. If what is true with the queen, that will clearly overtake anything over the next few days and would be inappropriate for these types of announcments to be made. Also wouldnt surprise me if games are cancelled this weekend out of respect should the worst happen.

I may be wrong but I’m sure I read that all sporting events are cancelled if the worst happens, in the U.K. anyway, can’t remember where I read that though so may not be true

 

[wolvesaywe]

Hopefully she powers on through to Sunday

 

[WickedWolfie]

Some of us may disagree

My view is that it is a personal choice (and l am not offering my personal view). Those who wish to mourn are welcome to do so. I would, though, question why they believe that they have the right to impose that on everyone else.

I know both ardent republicans who certainly will not be mourning and staunch monarchists who will.

I put it down to a mark or respect for someone who has given colossal public service to the Nation

I'd say so.

 

[WalsallWolf]

Honestly this signing is worth it for me just for that interview of that fella outside the ground.

Old gold comedy that at its finest. Throw as many millions, 7th placed finishes, Jorge Mendes, Europa runs at it.. Deep down that is Wolves and I love it and wouldn't change it for anything.

Now that variations on the Diego / Diogo joke have been made around 200 times on this thread alone could we now possibly put it to bed?

Yours sincerely,
The Repetitive Joke Thread Police.

Who's Diogo?

But again that perspective is a matter of opinion. Not everybody sees the monarchy in that way. There are other people who have contributed far more to this country/humanity imho, so do we stop all the clocks for them too?

As one poster said before, it’s wrong to assume and impose a state of mourning on everyone, because we all view things differently

Yet I am certain that all would be happy to avail themselves of any Public Holiday that may arise as a result of State Funeral or Coronation.

I agree Agnostics should work on Christmas Day and Easter Bank Holiday .
Capitalists should work on May 1st
And Pacifists on Boxing Day .

As a republican I would still say yes, because we are not yet a republic and respect for the head of state is a separate matter.

 

[TheRetroChief]

Well this thread is about to get seriously derailed.

Speak for yourself, i will be on parade

 

[rg4352]

Surely if the worst was to happen, and I’m not wishing it does, wouldn’t that mean the Liverpool game would be postponed and give Costa more time to train and be match ready?
Again I’m not wishing for this to happen

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Could see two matches postponed as if she goes tomorrow I can see the game cancelled on Saturday and then funeral maybe on the following Saturday. Diana’s was, was the Duke’s?

Totally agree

I'm one of those who thinks the "rule" of the Monarchy is out of date, I also have little respect for Parliament and politicians.

I do however recognise the contribution individuals make to our society and I have nothing but respect and admiration for Queen Elizabeth.

Whilst I personally would not replace her, I will mourn her passing and acknowledge her contribution to society. I also think that when the time comes it should be a National state of mourning given her position and contribution and that includes all residents of this land showing respect.

If the game is off this weekend or the next or whenever, then it's off, it's only a game of football.

People can do what they like but the majority of people in this Country would respect cancelling the fixtures if it happens and I for one would respect such a decision .

From what I have read it looks like a state funeral would be ten days after, that means next sunday at the earliest.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

Waiting for the mods to threaten to ban anyone talking about it

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Ill say it before the mods do
Lets keep on topic guys and gals
Comments on the monarchy are not appropriate at this time and certainly not on here

 

[steve vena]

You ask people of the armed forces ,they love the queen and hate the slimy politicians. That's enough for me.

 

[Mutchy]

While the possibility of postponements is relevant, please don’t turn this into a discussion on the Queen. Theres a thread for that in the appropriate forum section.

 

[tonto]

I was raised on such stories and had to content myself with the poor sides of the early 70s

You don’t mean the 72 euafa finalists or the 73 FA cup semi finalist or the 74 league cup winners do you

God save our Mutchy

 

[A wanderer from Bristol]

Anyway, back on topic. I reckon, judging by last night’s display, Costa might already be sharper than Trent and Gomez

 

[JR WAS KING]

You don’t mean the 72 euafa finalists or the 73 FA cup semi finalist or the 74 league cup winners do you

and the 73 League Cup semi finalists, and the team that finished 4th in 1971 with the country's top goal scorer.

We were so bloody good just three players away from the league tile I reckon Gordon Banks or Shilton a top left half maybe Colin Todd and a right back

 

[wolvesaywe]

People have made plans. Booked hotels, trains etc

Ridiculous they should be out of pocket in this time by last minute cancellations that the majority wouldn't agree with in the first place

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

You could say the same about Boly.

Boly's always been quite languid

There will be a national protocol, and it won’t be down to choice.

Who's the Southerner? "We've got a great manager" he must be a confused Chelsea fan.

Slumming it from darn sarf

 

[Elvis Wolf]

As a matter of interest, does anyone have an update on the results of the medical ?
Please and thanks.
If all went well, with no significant issues, then he was due to officially sign the contract on offer.

Strange I heard he sipped a mint tea, engaged in a philosophical discussion on the meaning of 'health' with a nurse, carried an old lady across the road and fingered a rosary throughout. Journalism eh.

 

[WickedWolfie]

True enough. Thinking positively, if there is a 10 day period of mourning and no matches that gives us a chance to get Diego fitter and for other players to possibly recover from injuries. Also likely means we don't have the Dippers and Citeh back to back.

Being more negative it will make the post-World Cup fixture congestion even worse.
