Today’s Games 2023-2024

[Ewok vs Wolf]

If you can't defend corners got no chance

 

[clivewolves]

4-4-2. Centre-backs at full back. Set-piece goals. We just need Rory Delap for some long throws. Pulis was ahead of his time. He just needed some financial backing.

Arsenal are bloody good though. Gary Neville seems to have been a bit down on them on commentary even though they've been the better team.

 

[Leemack]

Arsenal's set pieces can't be denied as to how good they are at causing an absolute nuisance of themselves and being effective

 

[yateleywolf]

They have spent heavily since being promoted and got lucky to stumble across Emery someone who clearly knows what he’s doing.

Still unsure how they are going to get around FFP when it’s stricter on clubs in Europe?? Interesting summer awaits for many clubs. Although breaking FFP is hardly a punishment these days in reality

Got lucky ? I thought they spent millions buying him out of his contract

Teams with the intensity of Arsenal, City and Villa look the best this season and it shows. They just cut through teams with ease in the best moments

Lucky he wanted to go there?? Open chequebook helps mind

 

[yateleywolf]

Fair enough ; offer him millions and good transfer budget helps.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Have to say, it's been a great response from Arsenal after their defeat to Bayern Munich.

 

[Wolf316]

But it was offside?

VAR has broken people’s brains lol

Then the offside rule needs changing.

 

[Watfordfc]

Then the offside rule needs changing.

Didnt Wenger suggest there has to be daylight for it to be offside a few years back?

 

[yateleywolf]

Could do with Brighton getting one back.

2 nil Bournemouth

 

[brianm]

De zerbi is checked out, huh? I wonder how Brighton will kick on next season.

 

[Wolf316]

Didnt Wenger suggest there has to be daylight for it to be offside a few years back?

Yes and that sounds much better as it gives the advantage to the attacker.

 

[Norman Bell]

Anyone else see the hypocrisy in Gabriel having a go at a Spurs player for diving when his own squad contains Saka and Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal have become a lot more cynical under Arteta, for better or worse. It's the prevailing culture in the league and has been for awhile now.

One of the effects of the social media age, imo: a collapse of dignity.

But then you'll see people bring up examples from the past and maybe things were never that rosy, idk.

 

[Watfordfc]

Another keeper **** up!

 

[thommo1984]

Then the offside rule needs changing.

He was stood behind the last defender, it’s exactly what the offside law is for

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Tottenham spirits are lifted after that giveaway goal.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Think it’s gone under the radar a bit but wanted to say well done Derby on promotion. They’ve been through a lot lately as a club and Paul Warne is a really top man.

Agree I'm chuffed Portsmouth and Derby are back in the championship.... obviously not hoping to play either of them in the near future though....I don't like either that much.....

 

[Starsky]

Brennan Johnson is a massive ****/ cheat.

 

[thommo1984]

Rice stops a quick free kick but Michael Oliver lets him get away with a warning.

There’s your big club bias!

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

That's a pen

Hard not to say VAR has that one right, not sure what Oliver thinks he saw. Still bin it though obv!

 

[Perton Wolf]

Now that's clear and obvious, shocked he missed that in real time.

 

[JadeWolf]

Shame that wasn’t 10 minutes earlier.

 

[Watfordfc]

Does he need to go to the screen?

I thought they could just tell him to change his mind?

Why was Raya not yellow carded for time wasting, that was a pure mickey take as he was stood on the halfway line when the penalty was awarded.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Don't think so, anything that's a judgement has to go to the onfield ref. Even if it's obvious!

 

[SuperGran]

Brighton have fell off a cliff lately Europa and injuries have done for them. They were shouting abuse at de zerbi too in last game.

 

[djmikeydickens]

It's alarming he didn't give the pen in real time. Absolutely stonewall

Wonder if Potter will end up back there.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Areola has done one hell of a job, especially considering their horrendous start.

 

[Watfordfc]

Areola has done one hell of a job, especially considering their horrendous start.

Basically the opposite of Brighton I guess.

 

[Royal wolf]

Surely forest aren’t going with a midfield 2 including MGW against city

 

[WW1963]

Spot on. Good tactician. Good man manager. Their owners have been very good for them unfortunately also

Only for a season. They are not in the Club, so won't be allowed to stay up there for long.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Premier League anthem as well received at City Ground as it was at Molineux

 

[Slothmonkey]

He has got them playing well. Just annoyed that it's Bournemouth their fans rank up their with Leeds and Forest as the most annoying in recent seasons.

Brighton much like us have had some bad injuries and not been able to cope well with losing players like Solly March. Been a season of Var debacle and Injuries hasn't it. This adding all the extra time on at the end of games for me must have something to do with it as not just us alot of teams have been ravaged this season

 

[surreywolf]

White wasn’t offside though, Chirewa was

Yep fair point. Not offside from corner and then onside by time header goes in

I honestly just think though (for me and lot of lads I know) the game has become too precise and analytical - perhaps that’s a good thing, but it’s not for me any more

Cherries fans (all three dozen of them) are pretty awful.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

You can tell who Alan Smith wants to win

Seem to have a young inexperienced team and made lots of changes too.
