Fairly sure it's the other way around that you treat others the way you want them to treat you.

Don't scare me like that! I have all evening booked with meetings tomorrow, and intentionally left Wednesday open. Thought I had made a huge mistake there

I'm all for people taking money off bookies as well. However I wish the lawsuit was on the principle that betting companies simply can't use personal data full stop rather than a mean for the players to fill their own pockets even more. Is there a way all parties can lose? I'd take that option.

Fair enough. Haven't read myself, just going off what some was saying a few posts up.

Isn't Lodi quite accomplished playing as a winger too?

I can see where the Wolves fans are coming from when saying they controlled the game (although I don't fully agree with them. For me neither team was really in control and it was a very open game). They were happy for us to push our team up and hold the ball as they were quite comfortable defending against us and very good on the counter attack. We've seen several times, especially under Rafa, that we could control a game where we didn't have most shots or possession. The Neves comment about the tackle is baffling though, especially if he's seen the replay as he says. Schars boot barely scraped the shin before landing on the Wolves players foot. No risk of breaking anything whatsoever, and a clear yellow card.

He needs more minutes and he deserves more minutes. Only reason Howe most likely will persist with Willock and Longstaff ahead of him is seniority and maintaining squad harmony. Anderson has out performed them during pre season, against Tranmere and against Wolves - basically every time he's given the opportunity.

If I'm managing us on FM in this situation and Wilson, Bruno, ASM and Trippier are all out with injuries, I completely capitulate and play full team of reserves/youth No point exposing the likes of Botman and Isak to a trashing and risking further injuries to the other first team players with better fixtures coming up. Good thing I'm not the manager. Howe will have a plan for the match, prepare the available players as good as possible and we'll give it a good go no matter what.

IMO the following are Championship standard: Darlow, Ritchie, Dummett, Lewis, Longstaff, Murphy, Wood. List is definitely getting shorter, and it's completely unrealistic to expect us to have PL standard fringe/cover players in all positions until we actually get into Europe where we'll be able to give fringe players playing time beyond 5-10 minutes at the end of games.

No way we can justify having 4 strikers on our books when we play with 1 up top. Doubt we'd even be able to attract anyone decent if they know they'll be 3rd choice at best when everyone is fit.

Thought the shirt pull on Longstaff was a clearer penalty than Schar tackle being a red.

Was just about to post the same 41: 44:

There's so many players that can potentially get injured. Why is it always the ones we least want to get injured that ends up getting injured? "A couple of games" means he's definitely out for Liverpool and Palace. Just hope he's back by West Ham.

Spreads his legs faster than a quay side whore. Cost us 4 points the last two games. Please please drop him for Anderson a few games. He seems to do better when he's coming off the bench anyway.

Willock continues with his form against Tranmere. He's half arsing it. Hopefully Anderson on at HT.

We need to focus play around Collins. The guy is like Bramble on speed.

There's always next time ?

Strange of them to be so anal about switching channels Good luck anyway! Am going to Hinna Bistro myself so thought maybe you was there since they only have one decoder.

Where are you watching?

Sad that Elliott isn't starting. He was clearly the best best midfielder mid-week out of him, Willock and Longstaff. Hopefully he gets on early. We still have Howe as head coach. This match is still very winnable. Don't jump off that building/cliff quite yet ppls.

Wanting better cover for injuries is all well and good but what happens when Bruno is back if he was to get injured? We're struggling to keep hold of Dubravka because he apparently wants to be on Man Utds bench ahead of ours. We don't have any European competition to give squad players a decent amount of game time. Let's focus on improving the first team first so we can get in a postion where we can justify to other players that they will be sufficiently involved even if they aren't regular starters.

Did the same, without the goal obviously, against Botman too. Simply unplayable in certain situations.

Seaman was like 40 at the wasn't he? Pretty harsh to judge him on the basis of what he did at the tail end of his career.
