In the main very reasonable. Ta Roy.

We will be having a little three way love in with Wolves and Burnley. Real football clubs shafted by VAR :D
 
like wolves fans , seem more savvy than most, a bit more realistic

its a tough game for both teams

the one thing in our favour , wolves looked a bit leg weary v arsenal they've played a lot of games
 



With all this extra work for you, I hope you're giving yourself a drinks break like the footballers!
 
I've hated Wolves forever, all the way back to when we played them so many times in the 90's. One of my favourite games was the 2-1 win at Molyneux when Katchouro got a late winner.

But I like Nuno and I like this team. Hope they can nick a top 5 spot but that performance against Arsenal was tepid to say the least.

If Traore plays well they'll win. If he doesn't play at all we've got a good chance. I'll take an entertaining 2-2

I'm same, ever since they won the old division 3 in 89/90 or whenever it was and we finished 2nd. Loads of battles throughout the 00s, mainly that shit show at the Millennium.

However, I love nuno and they're trying to upset the establishment (and not by throwing 100s of millions at it). They're doing it the right way which I respect.

They’ve spent some rate money. They were spending 20 million on teenagers when they were still in the Championship, and their wage bill is probably 3x what ours is.

I’ll admit they have some likeable players, are good to watch and play good football but I’d argue about the ‘doing it the right way’ comment. Their head of recruitment is a super agent. When they sign someone, he represents both the club and the player (and himself). It’s working really well for them but there is a huge conflict of interest there and ethically it’s all over the place.

Put it this way, I’m not sure how long that setup is going to be legal within football.

They only bought Neves at 15m. Others were on loan.
 
Conveniently, for all parties, with an obligation to make permanent on promotion.

They've done well but a fairytale it isn't.
Don't think anyone mentioned fairytale. They didn't spend anything near what people like to think. They had a power in Mendes who has a ridiculous network of clients in portugal. Which also happens to be a current hotbed of talent.
 
“try and convince me that VAR isn’t in place to help out the ‘Big 6’, we’ve had some shocking decisions this season, as have Wolves and Sheff Utd

Is this CentralQuay

That argues completely against my point, but other than that.....

Var Overturns.
(Based on last seasons league finishes)

1st-6th = +6
12th-17th =+19

Where is that 'big 6' favoritism?

Bang on. Hate to see us compared to Wolves because we are absolutely nothing alike. When we got promoted we signed a Bournemouth reserve, a 36 year old on a free from Everton and a bunch of Championship players. They signed established internationals like Patricio, Moutinho and Jimenez. The types of signings which would have been impossible for other clubs to make because Wolves have the world's most powerful agent placing his clients at their club.
