Alone in the Park - it's the Prem 2020-21 thread

These days if you talk about Wolves on the Wolves thread you get thrown in jail

bring back Swygart for balance imo

Real shame there's no fans in for this one. Molineux would be rocking tonight, with both sets of fans excited about where their seasons could be heading!

Luke, Duckworth

way too many runners getting in behind. lucky that wasn't a goal.

Wolves settling for long, 30 yard obstructed shots once again

wow @ that save

McCarthy with anotehr solid save

Jimenez hasn't looked like himself in a while

Ugh noooo

christ, Raul has the yips

Wolves offensively just really struggling ever since that Crystal Palace victory

YES YES YES YES YES

typical Raul luck that his ball pinged off left post but in perfect position for Neto to tap in

Bugger. Wolves to win from here.

oh we do have a saints fan after all

Guilty.

Wolves won't win anything if they keep blowing opps. but I'm happy with this second half.

Southhampton has played very well

Absolutely move to ban any yank that singularizes a team like that again

Sorry man it ain't personal but look standards

Forgot this game was on, bugger

They has though.

Less of it

I'm a collectivist

It's a team game Trevor but

Heh.

Alex McCarthy kind of epitomises the Hasenhuttl rope bridge confidence trick. I keep expecting to blink and for it all to have blown away.

i'll take the result only because Wolves sprung to life in the second half. good match, dull first half but fun second half

gg

Charlton legend Nick Pope pulled off the kind of monstrous world-class save at the death earlier that should absolutely see him as England's keeper btw

I'm a little unclear but at what stage does the ref and VAR and the FA give us those two points against Newcastle back?

I know covid has fucked supply routes and all but I don't love seeing us level with Liverpool even if I know the cheque's in the mail and all that

VAR is pish

lmao that is the softest penalty conceivable

proposed VAR rewrite: only applies for offside if the player is completely clear of the last defender. only applies for fouls and handballs if it's obvious from one slow-motion replay. done

They're trialing some new VAR technology for 2022 which purportedly makes it so that Michael Oliver isn't thick as fuck

klopp heel turn

Proposed VAR improvement where the pitchside screen is actually a spring-loaded boxing glove in a box

One loves to see it

What's the over/under on Bamford's misses tonight?

9 shots, 4 on target so far for Leeds

What's sort of impressive about Leeds is how many different players are failing to score

Tim, London

I just turned this on for two minutes and Leeds hit the post and put two good chances wide

klopp moaning about kick off times is tedious but i did enjoy his aside when the subject moved onto 3 subs and he claimed the majority of prem clubs voted for 5 subs but not the 2 thirds majority they needed and added "so chris wilder can be happy with his 3 subs and 1 point".

lmao i missed that

Jurgen can gtf with his big squad cobblers tbh

The mini league of WBA, Sheffield United, Fulham and Burnley is going to be interesting. It’s hard to see anyone else getting relegated. Sheffield United could end today with one point from ten games and still only five off 16th place.

I daresn't hope for Burnley's relegation but it's pleasant to acknowledge the possibility

I want to them to stay up so y'all have to suffer them instead of us!

and as they are the invariably reliable yoyo club I don't want them putting their foul stench over next season when my club will win the championship

They'll stop up, they're too evil not to

Burnley's Life Matters

turns out Cavani is still really really good
