tbf having just seen the difference a new manager can make i can say with some certainty that norwich could have had 15 men on the pitch and still been rubbish. neil is a goner

(really was exceptionally gracious of him to leave out pritchard, jerome, hoolahan and klose though)

also i am gutted to have missed the SUPERB red card incident. olsson, poppy between his teeth, valiantly mistakes the ball for a grenade

we were very fun. powerful keeganesque folk magic has been unleashed

It sounds like we were giving free headers to Morrison and Lambert in the box every set-piece. Obv the rudiments of defending set-pieces is too much for some of these thick fuckers, Morrison had already had 2 free headers on target before he scored. Hopefully they will show Billing's 2nd wonderstrike since his debut to cheer me up later.

just a 1 goal defeat needed tonight to drop us into the relegation slots

Once it became apparent that we were looking for a British manager ideally with experience of the Championship - whether this is the right mindset for the club to have is up for debate - consensus really was that he was probably the best of a bad bunch.

agree with this and have said it, except I'm sure that having a British manager with experience of the Championship is bollocks.

He hasn't had a honeymoon period and he isn't going to get one now because we've had two games, no goals, hardly any shots and he's already got people unhappy with his selections and comments on our squad. He must know that if he fails here, that's him done for quite some time with decent sized clubs so it defies belief that he would carry on this way. It's whether Villa made him a fundamentally broken man, which seems more than possible at the moment.

agreed, am already seriously contemplating his sacking.

What sticks in the craw most is that we've reverted back to picking loads of the players who were here last season (more on whom later). But since we sold Afobe, we've picked up 42 points from 39 games. It's very much relegation form for almost an entire calendar year and it's this lot that are the key contributors to that. They aren't any good.

yes yes yes

his opinion about Matt Doherty is pretty controversial, most Wolves fans still rate Matt I think, especially amongst the squad as it currently exists. Iorfa's form has been horrible this season, can't believe he's still playing. He's cock on about most of the rest, especially Dave Edwards and Danny Batth

What is concerning is that we have had issues with recruitment for quite some time, even going back to January 2014 when we brought our mutual friend Leon Clarke back to the club despite us knowing full well what he was - and yet we've promoted the key man in all that scouting, Kevin Thelwell, to Sporting Director. He's very much the man behind Lambert's appointment. If we don't improve the quality of our signings (which one would think are going to be largely UK based from here) then the immediate future is fairly bleak and there isn't a great deal in terms of a track record from Thelwell to suggest he's going to identify the right players.

absolutely spot on, the only concession I would give to Lambert is I'd sack the rest of the backroom staff first

been thinking a lot about watford recently and how it is very underappreciated that in so many ways they were the absurd magic outlier wormhole that upturned all empirical champo science

troy deeney is the fitba tesseract basically

r|t|c, Thursday, 1 December 2016 12:40 (seven years ago) link

your Newcastles are a different thing, obv, but I will pause to note that they haven't chosen to fill their squad with rosbif shitkickers this season and move on

brex yourself before you wrex yourself (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 1 December 2016 12:44 (seven years ago) link

as for this evening (a FUCKING THURSDAY FUCK YOU SKY) i am feeling pragmatic. we are on some brittle ptsd delirium transitioning from jfh to ollie so could run rampant, could slump into nonsense depending on who gets the first goal

luongo's back thank god. has suddenly turned into our first our last our everything

r|t|c, Thursday, 1 December 2016 12:48 (seven years ago) link

nukey are not even that good and spent 13m on hanley clark and murphy to never play. they are unconscionable frauds and i expect to see them walloped in the prem again next year with a squad of 50 players 46 of which unshiftable on the transfer list

fair

in the bits of this i saw during the interminable ad breaks during the golf wolves looked okay, particularly down the left, although that may have been qpr having nothing down the right, who knows.

We were shit as far as my beer goggles could see but luck was rode and we ended up being marginally less shit? There was no tactics on evidence either way

Former Wolves player Henry was booed by the visiting fans, but Rangers manager Holloway said hostility from the home supporters was unacceptable.

“I don’t want to hear what happened to Karl Henry. That upsets me more than anything,” Holloway said. “You haven’t seen him play for me yet. You haven’t seen what I’m going to teach him and get him to do, so please don’t do that. You haven’t seen what I’ve asked Karl to do. I just don’t understand."

my deepest condolences

you haven't seen the miraculous transformation I will wreak on 34 year-old non-footballer Karl Henry

looking back thru the haze it's my considered opinion that we was really, really gash

NUFC down to nine men but leading 1-0 bcz Marlow saved two penalties... Ok.

disgusting indictment of the harrowing effects of bantz on society that i'm morbidly watching this instead of napoli v inter

I was watching Bayern wishing theyd get a kicking at Mainz. But they didnt. Then switched to NUFC wishing theyd get a kicking. They didn't. A Bendtner equalizer hardly balm for the forlorn soul.

We all die alone, I'm aware, but at least we're not alone in dying alone. #bluefootballfriday

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 2 December 2016 21:20 (seven years ago) link

hey, great week

It should not be allowed for NUFC to get a point from this tbh

Lambert going on and on about too many players and we need to have a clear-out in January, and now we've given Dave Edwards a new contract

ffs i feel like i'm wearing those glasses from They Live

similarly i am mildly concerned about olly carrying on about crypto-english values while sidelining potentially two of our best players in ngbakoto and borysiuk

r|t|c, Saturday, 10 December 2016 12:06 (seven years ago) link

in particular he has previously suggested the french players (ngbakoto) don't run enough and then later when asked what former player he could do with replied matt phillips which smh
