Today's Games 2022-23.

[Streathamwolf]

Forehead?

Some oddballs on here. Still raving about our 7th placed trophy wins on numerous threads but running down West Ham actually going and winning a European trophy.

If Wolves did this they’d find me 3 days later, lying in a ditch with the Europa conference trophy tattooed on my ****

 

[Streathamwolf]

Roma made the Europa league final this season and it was mentioned every week that they won the conference last season.

If you didn’t know that then clearly you have little interest in these competitions which is fair enough but plenty have really enjoyed them and value their worth.

I’m struggling to see how you can offer an opinion for other people?

After how long on the Mix? You are a kidder lol.
I agree by the way, speaking for "everyone" is really irritating.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I still remember our great European campaign in 1972. We beat Juventus and Ferencvaros on route to the final. And we should have beat Tottenham in the final. In the second leg Waggy was at his mercurial best, but the chances he created weren’t taken.

Will I ever see Wolves in a European final again. I hope so, but time is running out.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Congrats to WHam on winning the trophy
Those running it down are just masking their green eyes,and whispering i wish it was us lol

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

West Ham wanted to wear their normal strip for the cup presentation but UEFA refused and also refused to give a reason,once again confirming what a bunch of clowns they are.

 

[thommo1984]

West Ham United won more games in the Europa Conference League (12) than in the Premier League this season (11), the first time ever an English side has won more games in European competition than in the league in a single season.

Silly stat haha

They clearly prioritised that competition and fair play to them. They also stuck with Moyes even when he was under a lot of pressure

 

[groundhogwolf]

Never really been that impressed with Declan Rice, however for all the fact last night was a poor game, I thought he was immense, and afterwards it was clear how much he cares for that club, changed my opinion of him completely.

Has a captain's quality about him.

Raul scored a penalty in Mexico's 2-0 win over Guatemala.

I agree with you Frank. I was at both legs of the final and there was nothing between the two teams overall. The Ferencvaros game at Molineux was a real nail biter with Phil Parkes reprising his first leg heroics by saving yet another penalty.

 

[Perton Wolf]

Anybody running the UECL down is full of it and a little bit jealous, let's be honest.

 

[L78]

We'd all be buzzing if we won it. Fair play West Ham.

True true the only thing we will be lifting anytime soon will be a cup of tea

 

[sc91]

Seeing load of their fans going to the trophy parade whilst I'm going home. Argh... one day....

 

[Spitfire]

They should have just put it on. What were UEFA going to do, not present the trophy?
Precedent was set years ago, Barcelona did it the1992 European cup final, and probably been done since by others. More UEFA nonsense.

You have to remember West Ham are an English side so they would have been hammered as it's the custom of UEFA.

I was quite impressed until I realised it's basically the intertoto cup

 

[Adrian_Monk]

You've forgotten the Asia Trophy already?!

 

[Jack Russell]

Soccer Aid for UNICEF on ITV at the moment. Better entertainment than I expected. England 2 World XI 2 currently at 63 minutes gone. Robbie Keane just equalised for World XI.

 

[WickedWolfie]

What you on about nations reputation?! Talk about over the top yet again....

A few idiot West Ham fans throwing stuff doesn't even represent the behaviour by most West Ham fans in Prague let alone English football fans as a whole.
Completely lazy stereotype as most have behaved (unlike Ultras before the game but that's another discussion).

Like you said the idiots will get dealt and that's that...

Absolutely. Otherwise what does the crap Anthony Taylor got at the airport say about Italian fans???

 

[WickedWolfie]

Could argue that the crowded fixture list is why their domestic form has suffered this season though.

Yet too many folk on here were so quick to slag off Nuno when we were in the exact same situation with COVID added to boot....

Karen Carney best player on the pitch.

 

[WickedWolfie]

we have a strong league.
Imagine if you're the 7th best team in Belgium and qualifying for this, then drawing West Ham or any Premier League team.

But, exactly because Belgium a weaker league, seven teams do not qualify for Europe.

 

[WickedWolfie]

The four semi finalist were Fiorentina, Basel, West Ham and AZ Alkmaar. Last year the winners were Roma, a victory that sparked city wide celebrations.

Not sure how we, as fans of a club who has won nothing for decades, can belittle a competition.

Agreed

 

[WickedWolfie]

Just a little team called Roma

That little team which lost the Europa League final.... I agree with you to be clear.

 

[WickedWolfie]

That was the Europa League, this is the Europa Conference League, two different tournaments, pal.

....and, had we finished 7th this season, it's the one that we'd have been in next season. Tell me that you would have had no interest and l will straight out say BS. Most of the opposition which we faced in the early rounds of the Europa League were hardly big names.....

 

[JadeWolf]

Can we sign Paddy McGuinness to replace Jose Sa?!

 

[WickedWolfie]

What does that say about us in 19/20? 7th best team in England, we went mental when we beat bottom of La Liga Espanyols reserves, couldn’t beat Braga despite having 2 goes, were outplayed by Olympiakos and lost to Sevilla in the QF hardly having a kick.

Yet some act like it was one of the most incredible achievements in football history.

The sour grapes are off the scale.

I can't and wouldn't argue any of that.... The appropriate word is hypocrisy.

 

[WickedWolfie]

It's ****ing piece of silverware, who cares who competed in the competition to win it. A ****ing European tour again, I'd be Celebrating for weeks if we won it, no interest in the competition if we're not involved, but **** me, another tour!

Abso-bloody-lutely

 

[WickedWolfie]

For the fans, it must be brilliant, and ultimately football is for the fans. Don’t mind West Ham either, proper club not too dissimilar to ourselves in many ways.

The belittling of people belittling the achievement though is silly. It would be harder for the English entrants not to win this, such is the level of competition.

Would I be bothered what other fans thought though if this was Wolves, I’d be back down Wenceslas square on my 27th Staropramen of the day so wouldn’t really give a ****.

Re your second para l would merely ask how many English teams have won this previously if what you say is correct.

Keane still with a better eye for goal than any of our options...

 

[wolfslair]

Karen Carney best player on the pitch.

She tried hard, mixed it up and when scholes went off she was the player with wilshire I thought might make something happen

Levels above of Aluko….. she is absolutely pony…… she looks no better than the “celebs” and has never looked good on any of her appearances in previous years. Surely there are better ex-lionesses who they can call upon?

 

[wolfslair]

The one he put top bins was class

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Re your second para l would merely ask how many English teams have won this previously if what you say is correct.

Tbf it’s pretty much one out of one as last year it wasn’t taken seriously. Be interesting to see what it looks like in 5-6 years. My point was more, Fiorentina aside, the competition wasn’t the strongest.

Would be very surprised if Villa don’t at least make the final next year too.

 

[JadeWolf]

Come on England!

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

England 1-3 come on

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Anyone watching the Nations League Final? Caught the last 15 mins or so after the Darts finished. Spain could send a glass eye to sleep.

 

[ombyman]

it would have been impressive if Bryan Ruiz would have managed to score for Spain

That Fati chap looks half decent.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

That Fati chap looks half decent.

Stands out like a sore thumb in this dreary side because he's direct and has pace.
