Shouldn't it be Charlotte SC..?

Shouldn't it be Charlotte SC..?

Hey, you lot came up with "soccer" and then got mad when we started using it.

There's no real consensus over here anymore amongst supporters. Some fan groups stuck with soccer. Some appreciate that football is actually played with a foot and a ball (as opposed to Am. footy), so reverted to football along with you guys.

Big country, lots of cultures, etc etc.

Alan, surprised you didn't say Charlotte NC

Unsurprisingly a ‘real riot, fighting everywhere’ outside the Riverside according to my Boro ST mate trying to get out safely with his lad.

'Twas always going to be the case, as I said earlier in the thread there's a real rivalry between the two sets of fans even before the latest shenanigans. Derby City Centre gets locked down for Boro games in the same way as it does Forest as strange as that sounds

If it was anyone else I would feel sorry for them:

I found this interesting. I reckon we could use some of those during the 2nd half as we tend to get more sloppy in possession quite regularly in games later on.

Study finds Southampton players go down in 60th-70th minute so team can have gels & team talk

In 14 of their 24 Premier League games so far this season, a Southampton player has needed treatment from a physio between the 60th and 70th minute after going down with an injury.

Another head injury seemingly mismanaged yesterday in the Leeds v United game with Robin Koch being taken off shortly after being passed to carry on.

At which point will football start to use the concussion protocol/temporary sub which was brought in for exactly this situation?

Bit of Nun League football to enjoy

Should hope not, he looks shite.

Guedes has been "inevitable" for about five years.

 

[AndyWolves]

I haven't really seen him outside of Portugal NT performances. IIRC the Portuguese NT manager is a bit of a dolt so I won't be judging him too harshly on that

Also, Charlotte FC’s first match is today (away to DC United). Kick is 11pm GMT if anyone will be up that late! I would love to convert a couple of ya (as I’ll be proselytizing the good word of Wolves here).

Anywho, I’m properly stoked to see it finally happen after so many years and failed bids. I have a hometown football club today!

You going Alan?

 

[darlowolf64]

Enjoy the experience Alan. Bet you can't wait to rock your Wolves shirt at their first home game!

 

[Keef]

They’ll all be shouting “DEFENCE,DEFENCE, DEFENCE” and “Charlotte soccerball we are the best” etc etc
Alan will be leading the ultras or trying to sort decent chants out
