[Marc Overmars]

Big game and even more important now with Spurs doing Spurs things again.

Tricky one though, wouldn’t be at all surprised if Wolves stifled us.

Got to keep that momentum going. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Smith Rowe at all is a shame.

[Niall_Quinn]

No Smith Rowe at all is a shame.

Was going to watch - now there's absolutely zero incentive. Thanks for saving my time.

WHO?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That wasn't a pel?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Wolves, Hwang.

Unless VAR changes that.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck sake.

So sloppy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was awful from Gabriel.

[dazthegooner]

Good defender but does have his moments

[Marc Overmars]

3 years since Wolves lost after taking the lead?

:blink:

[dazthegooner]

But how many time do they take the lead? ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jimenez just dropped the Ashes.

[Marc Overmars]

Should be 0-2

Wolves are all over us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is that not a corner? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Wolves are decent, can see the value in that win 2 weeks ago.

[Marc Overmars]

Lacashite is like a sloth in the box.

[Marc Overmars]

Quicker than that Saka

[dazthegooner]

Think sometimes Sake needs to use his right foot a bit more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF was that Partey?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette shot blocked.

[dazthegooner]

Going to be one of those games.

[Marc Overmars]

Lots of bluster.

If only we had a decent striker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette shot saved by Sa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli stabs it wide.

[Marc Overmars]

Get Martinelli in the centre

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey. :haha:

FFS.

[Marc Overmars]

Partey :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow for Saka.

[Letters]

We rarely miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity

:rolleyes:

[Marc Overmars]

Why waste a corner like that FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jimenez header wide.

[Marc Overmars]

Saka on his right :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow. Just started watching and can't believe what a non-footballing team this supposed football team is. First thing I see is some shitkicker booting the ball aimlessly into midfield, obviously losing it. Then Saka, the only player on the pitch, plays some football and the shitkickers all stand around admiring it. Absolutely pathetic.

But it can only get better in the second half I suppose.

[Letters]

Xhaka. :doh:

Did he get sent off yet?

[Marc Overmars]

Not been a terrible performance but we’re going to have to be a lot more sharper and inventive to beat a team as stubborn as this.

Can’t see us doing much unless there’s some magic from Saka.

[Niall_Quinn]

Christ, please bring the dreadful footie back. Amazon are running ads for fags and David Beckham. Puke.

[Letters]

But it can only get better in the second half I suppose.

lol

[dazthegooner]

Did he get sent off yet?

Hope not I've got Odegaard as our red card tonight :blink:

[Niall_Quinn]

Saw the goal. LOL

Ha ha. Fuck sake.

[Niall_Quinn]

Some bird is doing the half time blag :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Tierney (was it him on the left) was such a lazy bastard for that goal. Dixon is in the studio. His mate Winterburn would have been smoking a cigar on the goal line, casually kicking that tap away.

[Mac76]

Not good, only Pepe on the bench, need to get our shit together

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

I think we'll need Pepe for this one though.

[Marc Overmars]

Get Pepe on.

He’s not great but he’s got that awkwardness and unpredictability about him that could make something happen.

[Niall_Quinn]

Martinelli kicks it out for no reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How didn't Hwang get that in?

[Marc Overmars]

Cut open, so close to being 0-2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsdale save I guess really!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ramsdale save I guess really!

Almost scored.

[Niall_Quinn]

What's the story with players just aimlessly kicking it off the pitch?

[Marc Overmars]

Our passing has been atrocious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka went with the wrong foot I think.

[Marc Overmars]

Playing better but just can’t create anything.

[Marc Overmars]

Oh Lacashite

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laca. :lol:

[dazthegooner]

Is his leg broken? Get him off the fookng field,

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Semedo finally off, Jonny on.

[Marc Overmars]

Ramsdale has lost his mind tonight.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is Sunday league from both teams. Excruciating crap.

[dazthegooner]

Shit free kick.

[Niall_Quinn]

How much is a season ticket these days?

[Niall_Quinn]

Seems like Martinelli has been converted into proper shit.

[Marc Overmars]

Have to get Pepe on surely?

This is excruciating knowing nothing is going to happen up front

[Niall_Quinn]

The only time any of them show any passion is when they've been brushed by a handbag. Then they leap up and into action.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey. :haha:

In to the crowd once more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinelli off, Pepe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sa saves from Lacazette.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ooh. That looked like football.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cleared by the entirely useless Lacazette.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Picture cut out. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

White shoots, wide.

[Marc Overmars]

When was the last time we won a game from a losing position?

[Niall_Quinn]

What? That bloke White can't hit a barn door from 20 yards. Literally. What a fucking donkey.

Meanwhile Pepe is obviously a lot better than any of the other turds on here. Don't know if he'll do much as a one man band, but at least he can control a ball.

Is Saka still playing? Haven't seen him in the whole second half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hwang off, Neto on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why is Xhaka the furthest man forward? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cedric off, Nketiah on.

[Marc Overmars]

Here comes Eddie

Which usually means the game is done

[Niall_Quinn]

Ever Ready Eddie is coming on for some bloke I don't recognise. Apparently his contract is running down, though not fast enough.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pepe is playing the Nicholson role in One Flew Over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PEPE!!!! What a man. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

PEPE!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

At least one player knows what he's there for.

[Marc Overmars]

Got to watch the counter attack here.

[GP]

Good goal!

COME ON!

[Marc Overmars]

Lacashite does everything well except be a good striker

[Niall_Quinn]

My God. The misjudged weight on that pass :doh:

Seriously? 50K a week?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neto drags it wide.

[Marc Overmars]

Wolves definitely more likely to win this than us :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Fortunately Wolves have no football players in their non-team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky from Odegaard.

[Niall_Quinn]

Girlies are having a handbag moment. Embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's happening? :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

What is Jiminez doing?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Podence off, Dendoncker on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Six added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tierney off, Tavares on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Tierney off because 90 mins is too much for him. WTF? Talk about an easy ride.

[Marc Overmars]

Saka hesitates so much on his right

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka hesitates so much on his right

He's been so poor in the second half. Anonymous. But he's a good player. So that makes it worse. There are no standards at this club.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on, got to be one chance left in this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!! COME ON!!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

LACA!!!!!!!

COME ON!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ha ha. Nostalgia. Got to admit, that was nice.

[GP]

LACA BLOODCLART ZETTE!

[Niall_Quinn]

We need to get a DVD out there.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck me a last minute goal

Can’t remember the last time we did that. Welbeck v Leicester?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SA OG in fact. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT!!!

Hopefully the celebrations go crazy.

[Niall_Quinn]

They seem quite happy. Imagine if they'd won playing football?

[Niall_Quinn]

Amazon X-Ray is quite good.

[Marc Overmars]

Huge win.

Credit to the lads for plugging away there.

All to play for. :popcorn:

[LDG]

That is what you want from a team, from a manager.

Fuck Wolves. Make no mistake, they’re a decent side. One we would have been beaten by a few years back.

Get in. Thats a massive win

[WMUG]

3 years since Wolves lost after taking the lead?

:blink:

:pal:

[LDG]

Dicko looks well old

[GP]

Dicko looks well old

Same

[LDG]

Same

I’m alright jack

Jim Rosenthal though eeek
