Wolves are not going play Armstrong as the lone striker for this season, surely?

Jimenez coming on to show AA how it's done.

But only -4 from playoffs which is minimum this season 

I guess I was a bit premature, that’s what happens when your a glass half empty kinda chap.

Awful handball to give away at the death. Can we go back to the days of the attacker not being able to stop his run on a penalty. The goalkeeper was on the floor when Jimenez struck it the opposite side.

Welcome to the Championship wolves. I expect it won't be as easy for them as some of their fans expected. Never play Armstrong up front on his own you lunatics.

Sorry but you're wrong. Dear Wolves, Armstrong is a great lone striker.

That crazy ref again - Farai Hallam

 

 

Should get demoted for that. 93rd minute, wrong call, has clearly guessed at it without being sure, and utterly changes the result. Appalling.

Just watched the replay of the handball. The ref can't give that because there is no way he can be 100% sure that the players hand is inside the box. If he isn't sure he shouldn't give it.

Anthony Taylor retiring this week and moaning that the press, fans and especially ex-refs create a pressured and hostile environment.

Referees so it to themselves in English football. Dozens of horror mistakes every weekend. They wouldn’t get away with their standards in any other industry or sectors.

I think the refs need guidance in non VAR matches to err on the side of caution ie only give what they are 100 % sure of . 

I think the on field officials need VAR to avoid getting so many obvious decisions wrong. VAR is not perfect but it has shown up the amount of guesswork which goes on every week, particularly with the linos and their hilariously bad off-side calls. 

The best ones are when a defender and attacker challenge for the ball right on the goal-line and the the ball hits one foot and then the other really quickly. You have some middle aged twat about 40 yards away desperately trying to keep up with play, at an angle where he clearly cannot see, make a complete guess as to wether it's a goal kick or a corner. Then when he invariably books a player for arguing after he gets it completely wrong.

We are five points adrift of the top of the table, Wolves and the mighty Blackburn joint top as it stands. Not good enough, ST out. 

SEASON TICKET OUT!

Isn't that what they're meant to do anyway? And if they're sure and they're miles off get rid and bring in XAI. Expected guess at a decision made by a computer, reviewed by someone who hasn't a clue and then give the goal to the big team.

Absolutely. In fact, I've decided to never to mention it again after 2031, if that's ok with you? ;)

They are the darlings of the pundits. Many tipping them for automatic and raving about the atmosphere around the club and what an excellent coach Hellberg is, and of course Gibbo. I will hate the cunts for a very long time and don’t intend letting anything go

This is what i don't understand. Middlesborough's form over the last part of the season was poor and they've lost 2 of their best players. Don't dispute that Lankshire (sp?) will score goals for them but the manager (and team) under performed over the last few months of the season and will surely be under pressure pretty quickly if the team doesn't live up to these exalted expectations

It's true. They will always be Karen FC to me though.

Hellberg has actually done quite poorly.

He took charge when they were second and he managed them to fifth, losing out on autos, a play off semi against us and a final all in the space of four weeks.

They may have lost their best player but they had three weaknesses - couldn’t convert the many chances they had, let in easy goals and tire out with the ‘relentless’ attack in the first 60 minutes. 

whether Lankshear can do the goalscoring, we’ll have to see. They have improved the defence so have addressed that issue. I can’t remember if they have bought a commanding midfielder to help support the team out of possession for when they tire. 

Of course bottling promotion three times will be hard to shake and as genuine automatic promotion chasers, the pressure will be on.

Bolton marking their return to the Championship, currently 2-0 up against historical Lancashire rivals PNE.

Meanwhile in League One, I'm immensely proud to say that my Nephew will be making his full debut for Sheffield Wednesday today. He's in the starting lineup away at Orient.

Big moment for you and him! A big old club to make a debut for.

I think they produced loads of chances in each game but just couldn't finish. As a result, many Boro fans are really pleased and confident with Hellberg in charge.

Still cunts, mind.

Tyler Onyango. Came through the Everton academy (and is best mates with Lewis Dobbin) and was released in the summer after a few L1 loans in recent years. He's been plagued by hamstring injuries which have really hampered his career so far, but the new DOF at Wednesday Simon Wilson knows him well from his time on loan at Stockport and has put faith in him with a 3 year contract.
