The OMG what a day Southampton verdict thread

[k-dog]

Taken the other half to the theatre for her birthday, the interval coincided with half time. I can’t believe it.

 

[wolvesaywe]

Where is that bell end that said on here mid jan we were no different under julen than under bruno?!

Judging by the first half commentary thread identifying the bell end you mean is the proverbial needle in a haystack

 

[Rhoswolf]

Ño words can describe the europhia I feel tonight

 

[moseleyite]

My wife just saw the sending off online and sent me the following message

 

[JadeWolf]

What. A. Win.

Lopetegui is the ****ing man.

 

[WasStefan]

I’m still feeling the effects of last Saturday. But **** it i’m on it again

 

[SanFranWolf]

Joao Gomes - a legend before he's kicked a ball and scores the winner on his debut...

Roy of the Rovers stuff. The South Bank are gonna love this kid.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

There are some games that, if the narrative played out in a film or a book, you'd just roll your eyes at the far-fetched Hollywood shmaltz. But that game just happened.

Nathan Jones, the David Icke of football managers, slithers into the last gasp saloon. His team roar. Last week's man of the match Lemina gets sent off early for nonsenical reasons. Saints score. Jones feels redemption nestling in his hairy palms. Wolves flounder. Old fears wearily resurface.

An equaliser, scuffed in, but Southampton, despite being the team that's thrown away more points from winning positions than any other, still have extra man and referee advantage. Knife edge.

And then up steps the boy from Brazil, the debutante, the kid who showed loyalty and class and integrity, who kept his word to Wolves over the bright lights of Lyon. The Pitbull. He came to add steel to the midfield, not score crucial goals, right? But there he is. Right place, right time, exquisite finish. Winner.

The legend is cast in old gold, and we'll look back on this game in years to come and forget that we were mostly **** and instead only remember the sweetest possible fade out final scene to FreeJoaoGomes on the day we won 2-1 with 10 men when the chips were down, because of our new immortal hero.

Ryan Reynolds, this is real Hollywood football.

 

[WasStefan]

@bod101 can certainly have the thread today and my small contribution to it: 13 points out of 21 in the 7 PL games Julen’s reign and now 5 clear of the Dotted line.

Absolutely marvellous!

What are you on about

 

[Incognito]

**** me sideways, upside down and round the back Joao Gomez. You beauty. That has to be well up there as one of the best second halves I ever seen from the old gold...erm... I mean green! When the dust finally settles and the anticipated hangover has been dealt with, that victory proves beyond doubt that we have a manager with a brain!
Free, e, super Joao Gomez,
Free, e, super Joao Gomez,
He came to the Wolves,
Cos it's the team he loves.
Is a man of his word,
Gave Lyon the bird,
We're singing,
Free, e, super Joao Gomez!

 

[JadeWolf]

Who had 10 men second half? Hard to tell.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

What are you on about

That Bod started the verdict thread before me and that Lopetegui’s start has been superb.

Hope that helps!

 

[SuperGran]

I’m genuinely looking forward to hearing Nathan Jones’ post match interview to see how demented he is after this result

Going down to ten men was detrimental to them he thinks they would have won if we hadn’t had a player sent off

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Don't tell me we've got two Queens.

Looks like it deary

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

I’m genuinely looking forward to hearing Nathan Jones’ post match interview to see how demented he is after this result

I’d be more amazed if there even if a Match Interview.

Would be astonished if he hasn’t had a P45 handed to him by now.

 

[Saltyjim]

Watched that as the sole customer (once the Rugby finished) of a Maltese bar. Feed was delayed so the winner was shown as a highlight on the Arsenal game before the one I was watching. Difficult to go mental when you are the only customer but the owner was very understanding!
Great second half with too many heroes to mention. Special shout out to Bueno and Adama, not to mention our debutant - what a finish!

 

[moseleyite]

Going down to ten men was detrimental to them he thinks they would have won if we hadn’t had a player sent off

Is that actually what he said or did you just try to imagine the most stupid thing he could come up with?

 

[Big Mack]

Keep the faith

Lop is the man

 

[Incognito]

Get in. Never saw us even drawing that midway through 2nd half. Southampton must feel robbed but you know what **** em.

Why must Soton feel robbed?

 

[Jack Russell]

Honestly, I've never followed a transfer more than Gomes. I was refreshing for Twitter and the Mix for news 300 times a day, for two weeks, hoping to see if we'd signed him.

This moment here makes all that time so worth it.

Me too!

 

[Big Mack]

Is that actually what he said or did you just try to imagine the most stupid thing he could come up with?

I can confirm that’s what he said. Strange

 

[Sussex Wolf]

He had an interview on Sky. He looks finished. You could see in his face when we scored our second that he knew he was gone.

 

[old wittonian]

Who had 10 men second half? Hard to tell.

Was that because the referee became impartial?

 

[oldgoldheart]

Just got to the car. Epic fight. Neves, traore, sarabia and bueno were great. Brilliant from lopetegui and what an atmosphere at the end!!!! Coyw

 

[Nige100]

What was Ward - Prowse doing with 2 short free kicks on edge of box. I was glad he did cos whilst he was stood over them I was ****ting it.

 

[SuperGran]

Is that actually what he said or did you just try to imagine the most stupid thing he could come up with?

He said it I couldn’t make up anything that stupid

 

[henri_camara]

2 wins, and each one I was in my pyjamas haha need to do that again next week

 

[Supadavewolf]

Going down to ten men was detrimental to them he thinks they would have won if we hadn’t had a player sent off

He probably also thinks they'd have lost more heavily had Lage been in charge

 

[marrs-guitar]

What was Ward - Prowse doing with 2 short free kicks on edge of box. I was glad he did cos whilst he was stood over them I was ****ting it.

It was probably an instruction from their genius of a manager. There's really no other explanation why a player who is the best FK taker in tthe world wouldn't take at least one of those shots on... but thank god he didn't.

 

[Pagey]

I’d be more amazed if there even if a Match Interview.

Would be astonished if he hasn’t had a P45 handed to him by now.

Feel for the players if they're still around when he's sacked. The bloke is unhinged.

 

[The Wolf Of Newbridge]

The will to win, in the face of overwhelming odds cannot be underestimated.
Credit to JL for instilling the belief and our beloved Wolves for fighting tooth and nail today.

Got bizarre looks from my Mrs for standing up and applauding Gomes' winner.
I regret nothing!

 

[Nige100]

Why must Soton feel robbed?

For no reason of foul play but Wouldn’t you after having all the help they did today and still getting their keks pulled down late on? They will have thought at 70mins they’d got that in the bag.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Feel for the players if they're still around when he's sacked. The bloke is unhinged.

Nooooo, after today I'm a huge fan of his...

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Going down to ten men was detrimental to them he thinks they would have won if we hadn’t had a player sent off

To be fair to him, it can often be harder against ten men. I know it shouldn’t be, but it does happen.

 

[lets all have a disco]

So maybe our lack of goals wasn't just down to the lack of a (Proper) forward that was peddled on here so aggressively by a few....

Maybe it was addressing the build up play to be quicker, more aggressive etc and maybe lopetugui was right to recruit and coach this ......just a thought.......

 

[The Fat Bloke]

It's normally a 2-0 comeback at Southampton so today was easy!!!

Difference a good manager makes, Lage would have waited til 80 mins before changing anyone.

 

[Jefe]

News filtering thru that lemina had a 2nd yellow for running aggressively towards ref ,WTF !

If that is the reason (and it's not for something he said), then this decision is nothing more than further corrupt officiating against Wolves. The referee didn't even see Lemina running towards him.

[dewolfman]

Why was lemina sent off, i still dont get it

 

[The Fat Bloke]

Him mucho bueno

Muy Bueno Bueno

 

[Supadavewolf]

Why was lemina sent off, i still dont get it

Aggressively running towards the referee - honestly.

Even though that idiot of an official is looking the other way while Lemina's "running" towards him
