The Premier League - 2018/19 - All Match Discussion In Here

Just shows the gap between the Championship and the Premier League.

 

Posted on August 12th...

It's happening now. Good players but a very limited style of play.

 

Fair play for the early assessment. I remember in August/September the talk of Wolves in the media was as if they were nailed on for 7th place!

 

They will probably finish above us though, helped by silly spending in January, by both clubs, but in very different ways.

 

Other than Moutinho, Neves and maybe Patricio at a push, nobody in the media has ever actually heard of any of the players they’ve signed in the last two seasons. It’s just accepted wisdom that they’re really good and they’ll finish in the top half without breaking a sweat.

It’s the same as people thinking Iheanacho is good because he cost loads of money and came from Manchester City, none of the MOTD pundits, podcasters or maintstream journalists have ever watched him play. Before you know it Alan Shearer is talking about his explosive pace and Wolves’ mindblowing pressing game. Load of old ********.

 

Well done for your early assessment Diamond.

(And now we know you think Gracia is a top manager as we were one of the first teams that picked them off quite easily).

 

I certainly do think that.

 

Surely everyone had heard of Patricio - he was in goal in Portugal's Euro winning campaign.

Their manager Nuno was pretty decent steal at the time, too.

I think they will finish mid-table, however their manager has done a bit of a Quique and failed to rotate. I can see them burning out and having a boring, but safe, end to the season.

 

Careful, there's an old thread on this forum with many of the usual suspects wa*king furiously about him. Wouldn't want to upset them.

 

Burnley is beginning to look like a cautionary tale.

 

Really hope Southampton go down. 2 weeks ago they are screaming from the rooftops for VAR and now they are complaining about it. Idiots.

 

Teams should literally pay me to bet against them. Only I could lose money on wolves losing at 1-0 up!!!

 

Wolves starting to look very average after being hyped more than any other promoted team I can remember.

 

I've always thought 'coming from behind' to be a dangerous phrase.

Bestially erotic.

Yet Merson et al have people coming from behind all over the shop at 4.15pm on a Sat afternoon.

 

Dyche going on about “eye of the tiger”. I’m expecting Apollo Creed to be unveiled as new assistant manager before next game.

 

Bournemouth thumped at home.

 

Their food is atrocious. Worse excuse for a burger I ever had.

 

Decent set of results for us elsewhere today.

Shame it's come down to having to say that.

Almost typical that West Ham are hitting a rich vain of form before we play them in two weeks.

It's mid table scrap malarkey at it's finest.

 

There's no shame in saying a "decent set of results for us elsewhere today" because we want to finish in the top 10.

Shoot me now but "shows how far we've come!".

 

Good to see strong refereeing in the Arsenal game. 3 yellow cards for their diving cheating. Meanwhile the Fulham bloke was sent off for no reason at all other than Rashford being a *******.

 

That was a rubbish second yellow. Not even a foul.

 

Spurs have apparently said they'll tell us w/c 7 January whether their home game against us will be the opening game for their new stadium. They've already decided their game on 13 January against Man Utd is off to Wembley.

Bit of a joke that after the Milton Keynes debacle earlier in the season they're again being allowed by the authorities to muck us around with stadium choices. Three weeks notice is stupid.

 

They're the media darlings,they can do as they please.
If they requested we play at Aggie Weston's Doss House on The Balls Pond Road the PL would agree.
My money is on having to guess the venue!

 

And I bet they won't want their first match there to be against a tinpot club like us.
