EFL My Concubine - Football League and beyond 2016-17

can't believe the interstitial music is literally an air raid siren over bin lid drumming. some lurker is trolling

well this is pleasant

chery prob the top pen taker in the country rn

can't say i ever expected i'd be hoping caulker wasnt off before window closes but the defence is legit rock solid

feel i should maybe be giving it larger idk

caradoc was the bloke in the armour iirc

Sílvio returned to Benfica on 10 July 2013, joining on a season-long move.[13] His spell was again marred by injuries, the most serious occurring on 10 April 2014 in a Europa League quarter-final match against AZ Alkmaar, when he fractured both the fibula and tibia on his right leg after missing the ball and kicking teammate Luisão instead.[14]

Benfica captain Luisao, 35, is reportedly set to sign a two-year deal worth £100,000 a week with Wolves.

lol.

we certainly need at least one central defender, but i'm starting to take these links with a pinch of salt, Talisca is still out there in the contractual ether allegedly. E&S had us competing with you guys for Alfie Mawson yesterday.

i for one welcome our status as Benfica feeder/retirement home tbh

mendes could at least have the good grace to valencia and monaco etc's rubbish too

we'll have a sizeable dot in there soon enough

i'm chill at the moment because a) what can you do? b) at least one of the loanees already looks excellent and c) hopefully this is a means to an end rather than an endgame

Zenga is v likeable and people are finally getting something to enjoy at the Mol after a really drab 12 months, the rest is in the lap of the most fickle gods in the pantheon

yeah for sure, i mean the watford model is quite sensible in many ways... never know, do well enough and maybe u get to be top of the pyramid

too many more luisao type deals might be of interest to interpol tho

don't really buy the mawson rumour, he's supposedly homesick (hillingdonLAD) so idk what appeal wwfc might have (well let's pretend) but with lynch in we don't need a first choice cb even if caulker does leave. p sure we've also had aaron pierre at wycombe lined up for months too

suspect gossip sites just copy over the names between us now to get irate clicks

That's my guess, pick a promising youngster and perm any 3 Champo money clubs, everybody 's happy

Joe Lolley is living the dream tonight, even more so than when he met a famous miserable baldie townfan luvvie from Mirfield

It sounds like we are struggling tonight. I hate it when that fucking degenerate flytipper always scores against us. Hey chin up imago :)

I love Belgium

About as much as Kaiser Wilhelm did I'm guessing :p

loooooool

It sounded like we could have been down 3-0 in the first half, but cometh the hour cometh our volkisch looking R Savage alike, Hefele !

Probably the hardest match we've had yet so settle for still no losses

If someone would have suggested 4 pts against Villa and Newcastle Utd Away I'd have demanded a steward's enquiry why we haven't got the full six :p No obv not really :p

Gollini seems to have had a really great game tonight but whatever it is these players have got seems to be catching. Such a shame, it sounded like there were some very positive vibes around the ground tonight. Ayew with a shot cleared off the line, Tshibola with a header ruled out for offside, should've won it. otoh Nakhi Wells hit the post so i suppose i should be glad enough of the point

i could get used to this

a) league one

b) moaners staying away

lark

Lol that was how I felt in league 1

I actually have gone through many periods of L1 and L2 nostalgia, as soon as our rich owner snuff's it we'll soon be back there. That much is guaranteed. My favourite promotion campaigns have been from L1/L2 in my lifetime, so I get ya.

http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2016/08/17/wolves-transfer-rumours-super-mario-balotelli-to-make-shock-molineux-move/

they really will publish anything

It's a sad state of affairs really. Balotelli has been linked to practically any club with a professional license this summer. He's even been named a target for Ajax in faux reporting like that. (they went for Chelsea's Bertrand Traore in the end)

Would love to see Balotelli at Wolves though. Surely it would break the critical barrier of twelve or so EPL ilx posters.

don't get me wrong i would welcome Mario with open lulz but it's so not gonna happen

I know. But seeing how Raiola is dragging him around second rate clubs on the continent as a "catch" this summer, tryna make a dime of him while he can, brings me down. I have love for Mario and wish him the best. It's embarrassing (and I don't count Wolves as a second rate club in the slightest!), and I would like the football world to step up and come up with a fitting club for Mario tbh.

wolves make sense. he can stay with his dad

JFH: I'm not one to complain about referees but it was like the wild wild west out there. Ridiculous. #qpr

get two penalties and still moan about the ref eh

obv the way he says it obv but still

Talisca off to Besiktas on loan, booooo

even that is opaque enough horse-trading to raise concern. like the pozzo ecology is mental but at least there is sporting logic to it beyond agent profiteering

get two penalties and still moan about the ref eh

despite the fact we've already had more pens than all of last season they have all been p clear cut honest

basically jfh has passed his tips for increasing arse muscle mass to polter and now the loon is a rampaging box-foul machine

just as well cos the rest of our offensive strategy needs some brushing up. stubbornly compact sod is jimmy

Wagner was at the game last night and was raving about Barnsley's teamgeist rather than individual players, and said they have an impressive togetherness and fighting attitude. It got me thinking back to their Flitcroft era - which looked promising at one point.

if i'm not mistaken the form side in the country under heckingbottom (can only be the yorks messiah with this name tbf)

listened on the radio yday and it did sound like they gave us a good going over, though a title winning grinding machine would have still got the result (jfh largely bluffing in his protests - caulker fell off the wagon all game and hall naive in not expecting the nudge for the winner)

wagner may love ze gestalt but even via comms it was clear hourihane was everywhere bossing it. peach of a free kick too

FA Cup today! Excited.

starting to ponder whether Joe Mason might be a bit shit

PROVE ME WRONG, JOE :D

St Andrews is its usual half-empty self, good work bluenoses

:D :D :D
