[Albion] Premier League 30/1-1/2/24

[Neville's Breakfast]

That was exactly the type of goal VAR was needed for. It’s the kind of one that reminds me it can still be a good thing.

It doesn’t offset the negatives of VAR. However it shows that if we have VAR we need late offside lino calls. The idiot commentators still trotting out the injury risk line though when a similar situation crops up again. I despair about intelligence levels in football.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I certainly would have preferred a defeat for United but geez that was one of the softest pens ever Shirley

 

[dazzer6666]

Brilliant from Wolves/Neto…..3-3

 

[kevo]

Haha!

Edit: F***!

 

[Gazwag]

Shocking from Man Utd but very very funny

 

[London Irish]

Antony losing the ball, what a catastrophic player

 

[Gazwag]

Bollocks

 

[dazzer6666]

Wow. What a game

 

[Eric the meek]

Mainoo's goal was absolutely the business.

 

[Machiavelli]

Wow. What a game

Extraordinary.

 

[London Irish]

Messi like finish that, some baller that young lad

 

[Si Gull]

FFS Wolves

 

[Weststander]

Wolves mentally stopped playing, treating the equaliser as effectively the final whistle. I’d be gutted at that if O’Neil.

Neto will shirley leave in the summer, way too good for Wolves.

 

[Steve in Japan]

United carving Wolves open at will really. We couldn't make a dent last Monday. Feels about right they jump above us in the table.

Wolves had total control over us second half, tonight they’re keystone cops.

As the season progresses, a PL meritocracy is taking shape.

Anyone here think Chelsea and West Ham will finish higher than us?

No and no. Next season, Chelsea mid table at best, and West Ham in a relegation fight.

Chelsea possibly but their away form is shocking... West ham I really hope not - every time I see them they look so bang average/poor, and really shit to watch ... obviously where they are for a reason but not really sure how

The West Ham 2023/24 game plan, even with a huge break plan from Europe, is bloody awful as the season unfolds. Chiselling out home and away draws, hoping to get lucky with a late winner. A few months ago they were flying with Bowen etc. Moyes appears the architect of this, happy with the early points base, now conservatively wanting to edge towards 7th. That and the mass low-block, I’m not sure I could warm to that football if he was the Albion boss.

Take Kudus and Paqueta out of that squad and they are only marginally better than Palace.

 

[Weststander]

Sullivan and Brady don’t bother with scouting. Somehow with a bit more income from the athletics stadium, instead they spend big on names.

Paqueta £39m and £130k pw wages.

It must help when you’re effectively gifted the stadium.
