Barca have imploded under the pressure tonight.
Red card really changed the game.Barca have imploded under the pressure tonight.
Bloody loved Vitinha. His performance away at Albion was the best of any of our midfielders in the second half of that horrible Covid season.
He didn’t want to sign for us it wasn’t our decision.Remember that performance well and posting at the time here that it made it a no brainer to go ahead and sign him. Very poor decision not to sign him as his quality was there for all to see.
Never a red though.Red card really changed the game.
Silly tackle for the penalty too .
This drives me potty! Every time PSG play there's always a few posts about how it was a mistake not to sign Vitinha. He didn't want to stay, he was never going to stay, we had no chance of signing him. Not our decision.He didn’t want to sign for us it wasn’t our decision.

If we'd let him pick the formation and the team he still wouldn't have stayed. It was always his plan to move on.Yes but we lost him the same way we lost MGW. Sticking religiously to a 3-4-3 that didn't suit him at all so he didn't really play or fit the formation at all when he did play.

It was Wolves who decided not to take up the option to buy. Porto and the player expected it to be triggered right up until the deadline!
Vitinha’s on record here in the weeks before the deadline expired talking of returning to Wolves and looking forward to getting more game time in his second season.
I can't find the interview at the moment (will keep looking!) but after he left he said that he didn't settle in England, didn't like Wolverhampton or the weather. Said, he was pushing his agent to find a different opportunity from Christmas onwards. Granted, players will say different things at different times, depending on the audience, and if he had played more and it has been a better season for us he may have felt differently, but I think he always thought he was destined for better things.I'd like to see some receipts for that !

We could have signed Vitinha but we decided he wasn't worth the money.
Regarding him and MGW not fitting in. They were both kids playing in the best league in the world in difficult positions. Neither were ready in spite of formations, personnel, management.
We had a strategy of bringing young potentially world class players though, but never had the patience to see it through.
If you find anything in the public domain to corroborate what you’re saying, please do post but, honestly, it doesn’t sound like Vitinha to me.I can't find the interview at the moment (will keep looking!) but after he left he said that he didn't settle in England, didn't like Wolverhampton or the weather.

A great shame, however City did win 'El Saucico' last night. A 4 nil win over Worcester Raiders.Well that was the kiss of death!
On a selfish note, due to a family wedding, I will be missing the FA Trophy Final of Gateshead v Bromley… and FA Vase Final of Romford v Great Wakering. Maybe this year I wont miss it so much…. Gateshead and Bromley both got to the final separately in the last 2 years.
Edit, Solihull Moors, not Bromley.
Im sure they will together with another promotion lolStockport win league 2.
Stick that in your Disney documentary Ryan Reynolds!
Pompey promoted tonight upto the Championship
I am sure that the Hampshire constabulary are hoping that Southampton get promoted to the premier league.
Crowd seems rather low too. Seen more fans at a non league gameWatching Chelsea and Villa Ladies. Villa keeper sent off for handling outside her box after just 3 minutes
They're all a bit lairy and might stick one on the Mrs? Are you maybe looking for 'stellar', as in full of stars?Could be a classic at Man C tonight,such a stella line up for both teams
That hatred goes a long way back and involves such horrors as starving families. There's a documentary on YouTube somewhere.I used to work with a Pompey fan and he never called Southampton anything but The Scummers !!! There is a real and burning animosity ( English understatement ) between the two sides. Rather like Plymouth v Exeter, Ipswich v Norwich or Cardiff v Swansea it is not until you live there or in other cases meet fans of those clubs, do you get to fully understand how much they really do despise each other.
