Almost Christmas and 0 goals, 0 assists in the league this season and cost £72m. Said this to a Man Utd fan at work yesterday before the game, they've already got the excuses lined up "he ain't getting the service", "he's having to help out the midfield, not his fault". He's a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why there is such a high number of yellow cards for this type of offence." On why Nunez wasn't sent off for the same offence: "It's so so difficult because this is not an exact science. "On the one hand, you say to me I don't want two yellow cards for Dalot, but two minutes later you say you want a yellow for Salah and three for Nunez. "I have nowhere to go. Whichever way I jump, you will say I'm wrong." The absolute state of that drivel! We want the same punishment for everyone you fvcking moron Dermot Gallagher. It's exactly what is so wrong with refereeing at the minute. They make up different excuses to try and justify whatever the ref does.

BTW I thought Coful was very lucky to not get sent off v you guys. But then the Newcastle lad got away with an elbow against Jimenez who then retaliated and got sent off himself (which was fair - eventually ) Edited 18 December 2023 by Super_horns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant turnover of players followed now by I assume will be a merry go round of managers will eventually drag them down be it this season or next. As we're seeing with Brentford, Villa, Brighton etc, the way to succeed as a PL club in the current era is future investment and to try and build something.

BenTheFox Posted 19 December 2023 Share Posted 19 December 2023 I can't decide if that's a good appointment or not. The issue for him is there will be discontent if he doesn't start well.

Bilo Posted 19 December 2023 Share Posted 19 December 2023 NES is a bizarre appointment. My nan could have got that Wolves side promoted and they seemed to function on momentum thereafter. He was atrocious at Spurs and didn't set the world alight even in Saudi Arabia. His career trajectory appears to be going in the opposite direction you'd want for a team lacking cohesion, confidence and failing to improve. Every chance Forest drop for me.

They're bang on trouble if Luton can drag themselves out of it I watched them on Friday and they were very committed but the football was poor. They looked like a modern Stoke on Tony Pulis. Wolves played decent football under Nuno for a couple of years but had very good players in Neves, Moutinho, Jota, Jiminez etc. Towards the end they looked very turgid though.
