Today’s Games 2023-2024

Would you be annoyed if Wolves played like that?

I probably just wouldn't watch much. The average wolves match is a lot more interesting than the average Man City match.

 

[Contrarian]

Would hate to City win the league yet again. It’s not good for the game.

I understand your point. But when the alternatives are Liverpool and Arsenal - who have each won the league more times than Man City - it hardly matters. 5 teams have won every title in the last 30 years, excluding that 1 that Leicester won. In the games current state, it will be the same in the next 30 years. Perhaps 1 club outside of those 5 might win it once.

 

[brianm]

Lol what a fart of a game.

 

[JadeWolf]

City missed Nunes, obviously.

 

[Watfordfc]

Oh dear - Grealish getting it from Pep .

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Typical over hyped title clash. So booooooring.

 

[S G Wolves]

Total borefest Arsenal came for the draw.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Oh dear - Grealish getting it from Pep .

Well, that's one way of demonstrating one's displeasure at a performance.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Oh dear - Grealish getting it from Pep .

He only does it because the camera is on him

 

[manchesterwolf17]

It's interesting that Man City are now chasing Liverpool as it's always been the other way round in their other title races.

Looking at the latter's fixtures, I'm not sure where they actually lose a game. They may draw a few though. Which is where you have to fancy Man City to go on one of their ridiculous runs and get over the line.

Liverpool City was a great game tbf

 

[Starsky]

Went with the kids to the Conti Cup final today. Great advert for both football and Wolves.

Highest ever attendance for that game.

Edit - sorry wrong thread!

Wolves missed out on the revolution in the men's game when the PL launched, it's a shame we seem to be messing about in the lower leagues as the women's game is having it's.

 

[S G Wolves]

Ref watch: Chelsea pen a shocker. All agreed.

Makes you wonder even more what the VAR lot were doing.

 

[Perton Wolf]

The whole thing is just bizarre. Gordon is not is possession of the ball, he can't even reach the ball, he's just stuck his foot in the way. It's actually a free kick the other way and yet somehow Coote decides it's a clear error. I honestly thought they'd cured this *******s, but some of these guys are like alcoholics, always one moment away from going back to bad old habits.

Since when is it necessary to be in possession to be fouled? That's just a myth.

 

[hollo]

How is matheus nunes doing these days.?

 

[Frank Lincoln]

A player doesn’t need to be in possession, but on this occasion Gordon initiated the contact. So in my opinion it definitely wasn’t a penalty.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Fair point, but you tell me, you're in the process of kicking the ball when a player puts his foot between your foot and the ball. Which was does the free kick go? It's Hwang and Schar all over - just coincidentally I'm sure .....

 

[Ponty]

If Gordon had been in control of the ball it would be a foul but he wasn’t and has obstructed Phillips. If you think this is a foul presumably you also think it’s a foul if a player not in control of the ball just runs in front of an opponent who is about to play it!

Hwang didn't actually touch Schar though, so not the same. Phillips kicked Gordon, pretty clearly....not sure why there's even a debate about it.

Well, that's just wrong, how is Gordon being in control or not of the ball, relevant? It's not. Gordon is as entitled to his place on the pitch as Phillips is anyway. The fact remains that Phillips has kicked Gordon while making zero contact with the ball. Easy foul.

Well I'm amazed that anyone can think that is a foul (on Gordon), never mind a clear and obvious error. So I think we might just have to agree to differ in this one!

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Wolves play City, Liverpool and Arsenal before the end of the season.

Kingmakers or cannon fodder?

Or simply both…..

 

[JadeWolf]

Leicester losing again.

 

[berwickwolf]

Should that goal have been allowed?
Leicester look very average

Nothing wrong with it, just looked strange because no one reacted.

 

[yateleywolf]

If Leicester end up in the play offs I can't see them going up.

 

[Matt]

I do love The Championship. So good this time of the year.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Leicester equalised. What I don't get though, is that they're obviously struggling, so why not recall Coady, go to a 5 and trust your attackers to get you enough goals to grind out some wins?

Of course possession makes a difference. You can shield the ball, without the ball your just blocking an opponent.

 

[Greeno]

How is matheus nunes doing these days.?

What sport does he play?

 

[SingleMalt]

What sport does he play?

Musical chairs.

 

[thommo1984]

Phillips kicked Gordon, pretty clearly.

Think you might need to clean your TV screen if you saw that “pretty clearly”

 

[S G Wolves]

It was clear Phillips kicked Gordon. Its a difficult one for me. Can see both sides of the argument.

Leicester score...

 

[brianm]

If Phillips had tried to take a step forward , it would have been a trip. Gordon tried to tackle the ball away from him and got nowhere near the ball. Foul on Gordon. This isn't hard.

In general, something needs to be done about penalties. For that action to become a goal for newcastle is a stupid game. With players conning the ref in every way imaginable because nobody has any dignity anymore, the whole thing has been stretched beyond recognition.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Come on Canaries

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Norwich have offered absolutely nothing

 

[DanishWolf]

15 goals this season for Vardy...in 27 games(13 starts).

Thats pretty impressive for a 37 year old who I personally thought would be finished with his extra burn of pace gone..

 

[Mardenboroughs Shoulder]

Always think of a stately home when I hear Dewsbury Hall. I imagine it's in the Cotswolds or Lincolnshire. "Had a great day out at Dewsbury Hall, we went around the house, saw the priestholes and later the kids enjoyed watching the deer in the great park."
