[RWE]

Fuck me please not 10 more minutes of pain

 

[Chris the Blade]

The city's a laughing stock as are both football teams. Goodnight

 

[fifty shades of blade]

What is the point of Oliver Norwood ?

I see what you did there

 

[originaltrueblade]

4-0 pen I thought tackle outside but ref gave pen if in doubt you don’t give a pen unless it’s for the big six

 

[RWE]

What is the point of Oliver Norwood ?

Answers in your question, to point?

 

[Blademan89]

How slow are our players though, physically and mentally in comparison. Just simple football we can't do. We pass the ball and stand there like an u10s game. Whereas opposition pass ball and move into the space to receive it back and have runners. We just stand there.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Might as well throw on the teens on the bench for experience

 

[sheff_blade90]

this would 1 of the rules i would change if a team is 4+ goals down. then blow FT whistle at 90mins. because ive been there 4-0 up & 4-0 down. at that point neither side want stoppage time. they just want to go home

 

[Blademan89]

4-0 pen I thought tackle outside but ref gave pen if in doubt you don’t give a pen unless it’s for the big six

Was well on the line, and therefore a pen. The big issue was osborn gives the ball away from a simple 5 yard pass he couldn't make, then Norwood being too slow and shockingly slow timed tackle from behind when it wasn't needed.

 

[originaltrueblade]

10 minutes wtf

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Lost count of how many times Wes has distributed the ball straight to an Arsenal player…

Yes Osborn fucking useless

 

[haich1889]

We've got a 93rd minute corner

 

[originaltrueblade]

5 fucking hell

 

[bakeblade]

Fuck me please not 10 more minutes of pain

We're finished strongly

 

[haich1889]

Pathetic

 

[Chilttheblade]

Who do we play next ?
Taking one game at a time.

 

[RWE]

Nearly 3 goals conceded a game and some want to keep with the same

 

[Shakespeare blade]

another proper dicking, ffs

 

[bakeblade]

5 fucking hell

We are a disgrace

 

[bakeblade]

another proper dicking, ffs

Hope our away fans boo the useless twats off

 

[ATL Recs]

Hecky should not have given Fleck and Norwood extensions and got rid of Sharp. We could have put their salaries to good use.

So you’d keep Sharp and get rid of the other two none are for this league Sharp never was Fleck and Norwood where for half a season all three deserve to be up on a pedestal for what they’ve done but none should be anywhere near a PL club

 

[Shakespeare blade]

29 goals in 10 games is ridiculous stat something has to give

 

[sheff_blade90]

hardly surprising the scoreline, 2nd toughest match of season only ehitad is tougher. its disappointing how weve conceded, it was very soft

but regardless of result today. because it highly unlikely we got anything there a reason why they are unbeaten, beat man city last week & in 2 years only man city Brighton & Liverpool have won at the Emirates. but it doesnt change the fact we all knew that wolves was always must win next Saturday, that's what our season & dare i say hecky job. had always hinged upon

I would guess keep sharp around for a strong character and Club captain, and if I'm being honest would be must of a better choice to bring on when those games we was 1-1 or 1-0 (spurs) to buy freekicks and see game out.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

A very easy win. I can even see farmers like Ödegaard and Nketiah score against this crap.” And there u av it in one
Well done travelling blades as always

 

[Chris the Blade]

Joke of a city, joke of a council, joke of a football club, joke period

 

[Toronto Blade]

I didn't say Sharp shouldn't have gone .I said Norwood and Fleck should have gone saving their salaries for another player

 

[originaltrueblade]

No investment from the owner and this is the end result

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

another proper dicking, ffs

no eight at home’s a dicking. This was just a bad loss.
