Wolves (A) Premier League - 15/3/21 - 20:00

[magicrat]

Tyler must be gutted his 10 minute sermon on the dangers of football and how much he cares for the welfare of the players was all in vain and the lad is sitting up and ok. 

[Trumo]

It sounds like it was a bit of a slog, but coming out of a rut often starts like that. If we do that game after game, some of the metrics should improve too. We should score goals earlier, look more composed and dangerous, create more opportunities and, crucially, finish off more chances.

 

Rui Patricio had a game to forget. Fortunately for him, he probably has. *crickets* Hopefully it's not too bad and he can return as soon as possible. Was the John Ruddy sub the first concussion sub in the PL? I know the idea was brought in a couple of months ago for just such a scenario but I don't remember if it's ever happened.

The only thing I did agree with , and I have mentioned it a few times, is that it was only a matter of time before an injury was caused in a passage of play that had no reason to be played.

[Reckoner]

Funny to read the Tyler comments. After that one about Julius Ceaser I switched to a Spanish commentary. At the end I had no ideas why the game had stopped but using my GCSE Spanish deduced that a...cat had ordered an ...ice cream?

It still made more sense than the guardian live commentary.

The bloos wont be happy about that. 

[Ant 2 Threads]

Glad we won of course, but sorry for the lad in goals for Wolves.

He's a former bloo so they'll be claiming it anyway.

Beware the snides of March.  The hackneyed old cunt needs a bolt gun to his head. 

[Morning Glory]

Similar performance to last season there where we dogged it out until Bobby’s late winner. Trent v Neto was comfortably won by the supposedly can’t defend for toffee full back. 
 

I usually castigate refs but thought Pawson was decent tonight. That challenge in the 1st minute would have been given against us in normal circumstances. He’s obviously not in the WhatsApp group.

I was only saying that to the other half, just blow the whistle for offside otherwise someone could get injured for nothing. Same too when it's offside and then a corner or free kick is given, it's fucking stupid shit. 

[Halcyon Days]

3 dirty points Klopp said, great win you dirty gets.

 

Glad the keepers ok but no Carragher you fucking prick it doesn’t take any shine off the result. Sick of the cunt.

Tyler always has the same tone when we score as an English commentator when England have just conceded. He’s does have a touch of the latter day Brian Moore about him though so retirement might not be far off.

There was one that I forgot to mention during the game. He was talking about the dangers of going in with studs up and he started wibbling that you don't get injured with dome studs; with molded soles any injury depends on the force of the impact.

 

(Presumably, with screw-in studs, you can get injured even if they don't touch you.)

 

Tyler's in that phase that Motson was for his last few years; like a blind, incontinent, lame old dog, who you know you should have put down, as a kindness to everyone, but he's been around so long he's part of the family.

Haha brilliant. There were so many snide remarks about Klopp in that period I actually found it amusing. His co commentator, (can't remember who it was but he was ok) just sat there he silence, probably with an expression a bit like this.

Don Goodman. He did show his Wolves allegiance a couple of times but generally he was ok.

Yeah that’s right. He was only ok related to the general standard. Having an obvious bias is fine though, it’s how honest you are about it. It’s the snideyness pretending to be neutral that I can’t stand. You could say it’s only football but Tyler makes remarks about people’s character, particularly if they are some foreign type.

 

Re Motson, not having that. He was a lovely fella who was obsessed with footy, he just want a bit doolally.- update- that’s meant to be a reply for mr Tuebrook sorry!

Nah. Sideshow has that accolaide when he replace that Rob Holding in a game.

[LFC 6 Times]

I absolutely love how simply Jota plays the game, just so effective no fucking around and absolutely superb off the ball too.

It might be me being a bit thick ( no, really) but I’m still constantly surprised at how skilful he is. He just doesn’t look like a skilful player until he gets the ball.

That's my point. He went a bit doolally - and really, really bad at commentating; not knowing what was going on; being 5 minutes late with his comments, etc - but kept going at the job for years after it was clear he could no longer do it.

That shouldn't make sense, but it does. 

[3 Stacks]

I don't generally rate Wolves but they played with really high intensity. Which we matched, but we had very little quality. Thought all 3 in midfield were bad. Thiago, incomprehensibly bad technically. His touch was crap, for some reason. Fabinho was also bad on the ball. Mane was horrific with the ball. He's approaching Firmino levels of shit finishing. 

 

Kabak was our best player. Trent was also good defensively. The fact we'd lost 5 of 6 or whatever and this was a win makes this fine, but that wasn't a good performance.
