Interesting article in the Atheltic this morning. Looking at xG and the season so far. Main conclusions - Spurs will fade, Sheff United have been unlucky, Arsenal are not in a false position. And that the team in the Prem whose GF and GA most closely matches their xG is Wolves. Must say I'm...

Tim II has confirmed it. Thought it merited a thread all of its own. Let Phase 3 of The Project commence...

A question for those of you that have played the game at a decent level - or even on the Sunday parks. I'm just finishing my first novel. There's a fight scene near the end where the hero drives his foot into the villain's knee, with the specific intention of disabling him. It's exactly...

Having started the thread which steered us through the last 16, thought I’d better start one which will hopefully see us through the Europa League Quarter Final. I was at Redcar races for the first game of the Fosun era and remember looking at my phone in disbelief when it beeped to tell me...

We must surely have one of these left over from March, but the search function always defeats me. Adama and Pod to start for me, but I'm really not too fussed about team selection, it's all about being positive & bouncing back from the Chelsea debacle. Not nervous at all. But then it is 6/45...

I know 19/20 hasn't finished but I’m starting this thread as I’ve been in Leeds today and chanced to chat to a couple of Leeds fans. They’re convinced they’ll be top six, “no fucking bother.” They’re also certain they’re the best team to ever win the Championship. I’ve watched a fair bit of...

Daniela had a baby girl last night. Two days off with the new baby and then stick two past Chelsea to celebrate!

Everyone else is having fantasy games. Why not... Gutted that WHU got away with targeting Adama's shoulder at the weekend, but couldn't ask for a better deputy than Neto. On the assumption that Neves recovers from that knock I'd go 3-4-3 and go for it from the start. Rui Boly - Coady - Saiss...

We've probably all seen the announcement. If you're being cynical, it's a good thing for Wolves who've played more games than anyone else and the players can have a rest. Then again, Spurs will have Kane back... But I suspect it will be a lot longer than April 3rd. My wife works in the NHS at a...

Fascinating discussion on the verdict thread about which Wolves player has the highest ceiling. Quite amazing when you think of it that if you jumped forward to the Euros 2024 and you were told that Neto/Neves/Adama/Diogo or possibly even Ruben Vinagre was POTT you wouldn’t be surprised. So my...

Could it be that tomorrow’s game will be the last we play this ‘season?’ Talk in the papers this morning of the rest of the Premier League season being scrapped and it is easy to see the Europa League going the same way. What a bloody mess it will be – the lawyers will make more than the...

Espanyol lost 2-1 today, but they've 13 league games to go so they're by no means doomed and their game after us is Atletico at home. Have to think they'll make some changes. Think I'd go 3-5-2 and just look to control the game through possession and then hitting them on the break if they have...

Just back from a few days in Lisbon – great city to visit if you want a short break – and obviously started a conversation with every waiter/barman/taxi driver about football. Split about 60/40 between Benfica and Sporting fans & all hugely complimentary about Wolves. They all followed the...

God, I hate all this fan banter bollocks that goes with the Cup draw these days. Just do it on the wireless at 12/30 on Monday lunchtime FFS. Anyway, Wolves or Manchester Ticket Shysters vs Watford or Tranmere Man City at home to whoever the worst team left is, as that now appears to be the...

Come on then, one wish for next year and the next decade. Bloody hell I will be old in ten years' time so the lads had best not hang about winning some big pots but... Next Year: We qualify for Europe again Next decade: And I know it's a long longshot, but that Nuno is our manager on 31/12/2029

More or less the half way point in the season, through to the KO stages of the Europa league. So how good are we? For me, there are no more free hits. We may not be Liverpool, but we’ve beaten City 5-2 on aggregate, and we’re competitive with Leicester, Chelsea and Spurs, and two teams I see as...

Here we go again. Although I'm a miserable old bastard and think all this crap with fans and ex-players is wank. I'd prefer the draw to be on the wireless at lunchtime like it used to be. Anyway, I've had a look in me crystal ball and on the assumption we're ball #44 it'll be Huddersfield...

Starting tomorrow we have ten games up to the end of December, two in the Europa League and eight in the PL, playing more than a fifth of the league season in a single month. So what would we settle for right now? For me, qualification for the knockout stages of the EL – although I think...

Someone help me out here, I'm struggling to get a team out... Raul definitely needs a rest so I'd go MGW - Cutrone - Neto up top. Ruddy in goal, maybe with DEnoncker (more practice at RCB) - Coady - Kilman in front of him And in midfield... I'll take a stab at Doherty - Neves - Saiss -...

Well, just heard on Talksport that de Bruyne is out so that's 3 points in the bag, as they've not much else... One big change for me - I think Patrick deserves a start. In fact, I wouldn't even have Raul on the bench. If he's not playing for Mexico in the international break I'd tell him to...
