πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ A win that almost certainly guarantees staying in the Premier league..."I'm gonna go on the Mackems forum and wind them up" I'd say you were a sad bastard but you must be a bit simple and lonely so I won't. Bless you.

I've lumped on Oxford to beat your plodders at odds of 13/8 this afternoon.
Will celebrate with my winnings tonight and enjoy seeing you doomed to Division 3 for yet another season.
Enjoy ! :D:D:D
 
OK so my take on yesterday. Watched it with a Wolves supporting mate of mine so probably doubly biased

1. Crap match. As much Wolves fault as Newcastles. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... the lower leagues provide much more entertainment for a neutral fan. The Northern League even more so.
So many times the attacking team are on the edge of the box and 20 seconds and 4 passes later its with their keeper. Both sides guilty

2. St Maximin is STILL a one trick pony as ive said for a very long time. Only now he's been found out. Yet every time he's got the ball the pundits get excited. Other than pace and the same fancy footwork he achieves nothing most of the time. If he doesn't get his way, he throws his arms around, talks to himself and gives up. Wouldn't last a season in a decent side

Under Ashley they'd cash in, make a fortune on him and you'd likely never hear from him again. These lot will keep him because he's popular. He's basically the Premier league equivalent of the lad who got in the school team purely because he was good at keepy-ups.

3. The media love Joelinton. He's a new star. I lost count of how many times they described him as "ball winning", "ball holding" or "rejuvenated under Eddie Howe". He was awful. He's now an average Premier league player. That's it.

4. If Cundle can be a premier league footballer... so can I. One great pass. That was it. Trincoa (or however its spelt) almost as bad.

5. VAR is ruining football. If they can be so arsey about offsides, then they need to be just as arsey about penalty claims. The Newcastle lad could have got out if the way and made no effort to. Its cheating. Either scrap VAR or apply it to every decision. End of.

6. Bruno whatshisname is going to be massively over hyped. He didn't stand out in a crap match. Yet the pundits say things like "Newcastle fans have exciting times ahead with him on the pitch". Really? Most of the Wolves defence had more impact on the game than he did. I'm not saying he's crap, but the love for his performance last night was bizarre.

Rant over.

They just love a Messiah - and they often get players in who are decent but don't perform..... You then wait and wait and they suddenly have a good match or two and the hysteria starts. "Geordie Pirlo for England", "Shelvey for England", their young keeper, Ben Arfa, Saint Max, Joe Linton (who was signed as a striker but turns out is dog shit as a striker but fairly effective at making a nuisance of himself) - it's just a never ending stream of players suddenly being world class on the back of a few decent games.
 
Can’t buy class, more thieving from their own. Tramps

Mags on here are right like. People shouldnt be watching the Mags games.. then discussing it. All part of sportswashing

Only sportswashing if we all fall for it and start agreeing with the pundits (who are clearly sportswashed) and start claiming its good for the sport. Last night was an awful advert for football.

Anyway
One of my best mates (who is a wolves fan) rings me up and says "Wolves are playing Newcastle fancy coming round for a few drinks on friday".

I'm not going to say No I'm afraid. But I'm not going to walk away believing that Saudi is wonderful and the premiership is excellent. Which is what sportswashing is.

Quite the opposite

1. Crap match. As much Wolves fault as Newcastles.
Agreed, it wasn't very good.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... the lower leagues provide much more entertainment for a neutral fan.
The Northern League even more so.
It depends. Some are awful to watch but some are brilliant to watch. A different class of players and a different referee mindset on top of many other things.
Swings and roundabouts to be fair.
So many times the attacking team are on the edge of the box and 20 seconds and 4 passes later its with their keeper. Both sides guilty
Yep, not nice to watch at times.
2. St Maximin is STILL a one trick pony as ive said for a very long time. Only now he's been found out.
He hasn't found himself out yet so I highly doubt premier players have found him out.
Take a look when he gets the ball, he's swooped upon by a good few players. His problem is trying to take them on in areas where he'd be better passing. He tried to do that last night as well as take crowds of players on and it made him look more frustrating than he actually was.
He did some decent stuff in a pretty bad game of football.
He goes to ground too easily for me and even Targett dragged him up with a few words.
Yet every time he's got the ball the pundits get excited.
Because he's an exciting player regardless of him being frustrating at times.
Other than pace and the same fancy footwork he achieves nothing most of the time.
He achieves plenty but the problem with his skill and pace and whatnot is if he does a few bad things they stand out like a sore thumb and that tends to be looked upon with a frown while his good work fades into the distance.
He's a work in progress I think.
If he doesn't get his way, he throws his arms around, talks to himself and gives up.
I agree. It's a definite bad part about his game and I hope Howe levels it out a bit with him. The thing is he does get fouled a lot but it goes unpunished because of his actions.

Wouldn't last a season in a decent side
He seems to be doing ok up to now.
Under Ashley they'd cash in, make a fortune on him and you'd likely never hear from him again.
Is that why he signed a new improved contract to stay at the club?
These lot will keep him because he's popular.
Popular and a brilliant footballer. A crowd-pleaser with his own frustrations. I see plenty of them and it's about honing him.
He's basically the Premier league equivalent of the lad who got in the school team purely because he was good at keepy-ups.
Far from it. He's in the team because he can do a lot of good stuff much more than making errors.
He terrorises defenders so much that they have to hunt him in packs.
3. The media love Joelinton. He's a new star.
Joelinton has come on massively under Howe and his new position. No wonder his praises are sung and deservedly so. He had his fair share of putdowns and he's come through it. I love the lad.
I lost count of how many times they described him as "ball winning", "ball holding" or "rejuvenated under Eddie Howe".

Because that's what he does and he's getting better at it.
He was awful. He's now an average Premier league player. That's it.
Far from average. He's a top player and will get even better at this rate.
4. If Cundle can be a premier league footballer... so can I. One great pass. That was it. Trincoa (or however its spelt) almost as bad.
I can't comment on him because I didn't really take too much notice of him.
5. VAR is ruining football.
VAR is the best thing football's had. It's not the VAR system it's the people overseeing it that's the issue.
If they can be so arsey about offsides, then they need to be just as arsey about penalty claims.
They are and do. It just depends on who's doing the overseeing.
Some you get and some you don't. Some aren't even looked at and they're blatant.
The Newcastle lad could have got out if the way and made no effort to.
Why should he?
The keeper races out and offers out his full outstretched leg as Wood comes in. The keeper is at fault, not Wood.
Its cheating.
It's far from cheating.

Either scrap VAR or apply it to every decision. End of.
This comes down to the officials running it and we all know bias plays massive parts in games with this stuff.
Look how many times we've been robbed of penalties where the ref even refused to go and look at the screen or those running VAR refused to alert the ref.
That's cheating.
6. Bruno whatshisname is going to be massively over hyped.
As it stands it's easy to see why he's hyped up. He's quality and hasn;t played many games for us.
He didn't stand out in a crap match.
Did you watch it?
He stood out massively. He was quality.
Get the match up and pay closer attention to his game. He was excellent.
Yet the pundits say things like "Newcastle fans have exciting times ahead with him on the pitch".

I believe we do. He's fantastic.
Really? Most of the Wolves defence had more impact on the game than he did.
The Wolves defence was strong and stood out because they battled like hell to shut us out and did a fairly decent job of it until we deservedly won it.
I'm not saying he's crap, but the love for his performance last night was bizarre.

Rant over.
His performance was brilliant that's why he's being talked about.
