Figures 1-0 Football

Boro, mackems and Palace looking likely. Leicester or Bournemouth could replace any of them unless they pick up some points. Think Swansea and Hull have enough now to stay up and possibly wont even be close on the final day.

Not had a 0-0 all season have we?

It was nothing more than a thick footballer seeing the ball and thinking he could get it. Happens once in nearly every match.

Think this'll be the toughest game we've had in a while on paper anyway, a decent test.

Giving yellow cards out for backing into a player ffs. Ignoring the five or six occasions that Mitro was fouled and nothing was given. He played well, although some people will hate that. We lacked his presence in the second half and had no outlet, it'd have been better bringing Murphy on for him. Taking him off was the correct decision though.

Should still have been sent off regardless that we scored. Denied a clear goalscoring opportunity by saving the ball by stretching out his arm.

Wolves fans, similarly to Birmingham fans are about three decades behind everyone else. It's not just with us - it's how they are with everyone.

What decisions actually went in our favour? We could have had a penalty, didn't get it. Mitro got booked incorrectly, then didn't get booked when he could have. Other than that - did I miss something at the game yesterday?

Teams are contracted by the supplier to wear their away and third strip 'x' amount of times a season. The feeling behind it is that fans will be discouraged to buy a shirt if it's only worn by the team once.

Whoever wins out of the Brighton v NUFC game is all but guaranteed promotion. That'll be us.

Superb defensively. We lost a bit of edge with Mitro going off, although it was the correct decision. The yellow card he was given was simply ridiculous. Glad he poked one in, that'll do him the world of good. Really scrappy game but in reality we didn't look like conceding I liked their ground fwiw, nice old school stadium with character - much better than the modern Lego stadiums. Wolverhampton is a complete hell whole mind.

On the train: Wolves fan: "I love Newcastle but don't understand why they hounded out Pardew"

When he scored at SJP it was before the allegations were made against him mind He was still heavily abused just for being a general cock iirc. But fair point.

Meh. Most footballers produce their best stuff on the back of being abused. Johnson scoring twice (home and away) against us being a example.

Anya destroying Leicester at the moment.

I thought the same about Camara

You'd expect that having worked with them every day in training for six months so far this season, he's got a pretty good understanding on who is good and who isn't like.

There is absolutely no point in resting players. The amount of teams that go on to lose the following match is unreal. You only regain confidence by playing matches and winning games, would have been a perfect opportunity to do that against a weakened Derby team.

2-2*

The fact Nolan has played with Shola previously, means you would think he'd know Shola is s****. Unless he only remembers him as the Mackem Slayer. To be fair, he is only signing a short term deal for a team fighting relegation in League Two. He'll probably be restricted to sub appearances where they need to grab a goal. If he scores two goals between now and the end of the season and it keeps them up, they'll be happy with that.

Is the lack of signings down to Wenger? Who actually scouts and signs players for Arsenal?

Don't think they'll sack him also don't think they'll go down either. He'll resign at the end of the season.
