Wolves vs Arsenal 25.01.2025 - KO 15:00

First Away game that’s a Saturday 3pm kick off in almost a year (last one was Burnley last Feb)

Although since we’ve been back in the Champions League and no longer playing Thursday night football we are playing more games on Saturday afternoons…(though many of ours get bumped back to Saturday evening…we’ve had six teatime kick offs already this season)


We’ve won on last three visits to Molyneux (and won a total of eight times there in ten previous visits) but we usually make a bit of heavy weather of it and we’ve only won once outside London in the league all season (against Villa back in August). It would be good to get a few morale boosting wins, starting tomorrow and then in Spain on Wednesday before facing City

Fortunately we seem to have players starting to come back from injury

Anyway 0-3 Steve Bull hattrick

Easy win. Wolves are shit. Only way we can fuck this up is if we play conservative football at a slow tempo. And why would we ever do that?

3-0 Hwang hatter

I hope we win, tbh

No Odegaard even on the bench

Saliba and Nwaneri start

Wolves: Sa, Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou, Semedo, Andre, J Gomes, Sarabia, Ait-Nouril, Cunha, Strand Larsen.
Subs: Dawson, R Gomes, Lima, Doyle, T Gomes, Bellegarde, Guedes, Hee-Chan, Johnstone

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Nwaneri, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz.
Subs: Neto, Porter, Tierney, Zinchenko, Calafiori, Kiwior, Jorginho, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji.

Apparently Ode is ill rather than injured, tbh I don't think it does any harm to give him the day off, we should beat Wolves anyway

Glad to see Ethan starting as well :good:

Yeah I saw that and I tend to agree, think Nwaneri does better on the wing but he should do ok in the middle

Maybe it's Trossard in the middle.

May as well give up if we don’t win this one.

I'm sure Michael Oliver will give Wolves every opportunity to win

Sarabia should score there, a let-off

anther over-complicated FK routine comes to nothing...

Doesn’t sound like the brightest of starts.

Lack of a striker cost us the lead there.

Another open goal missed by Havertz. Should be 2-0 now. Was harder to miss.

OMG! Partey - why the fuck is he playing again.

My god our play is so predictably shit.

Foul on Martinelli on edge of box. Play on. Would be 100% given if we were doing the fouling. In fact it probably will be given later in the game.

Of course Partey's shot goes miles over the bar - even I could shoot the fucking thing on target!!

Where's Odegard? Injured again? Already?

Sons genetically modified twin coming on for Wolves.

Thought the same, he didnt even hit his head

Gomes complaining about being booked for booting the ball away. Their best passage of play really. If we can't beat these useless shithouses we have no hope.

We make everything so hard for ourselves, every game it's the same.

Too slow, too many touches, slow passing, poor decision making.

Our entire attack plan is about as potent as a midget guff in an F5 tornado :doh:

FK on edge of box. Let Partey take it!

That was Gomes again - why no yellow I wonder?

You get booked for kicking the ball away and wasting 3 seconds, but you can take up to 5 mins to take a FK.

Another FK wasted - wtf was that Saliba!?!?

Straight into the wall, really poor effort from the youngster.

Appalling. We get the ball right in front of goal and IMMEDIATELY it goes wide. This is like a dumb AI from EA.

If our players ever shot we would be dangerous

Oliver does it again - fucking anti-Arsenal cunt, no-one else gets sent off for that

Fuck off that’s not a red?!

How the fuck is that a red card???!!!!!

Crazy straight red for MLS. Absolutely unbelievable. Literally, beyond all belief.

Fucking hell, that’s a yellow all day long. I’ve never seen a red given for deliberately preventing a counter. Happens in every game of football?!
