Armchair Pundit

Ritchie on for ASM, quick!

Thank fucking god!!!

We should have had a pen and they should have had a lot more cards, how are we always on the wrong end of ref these days? I'm starting to think the conspiracy theories on the FA and our takeover might have legs! It ruins nearly every game.

Can't believe that even went to VAR at all, the officiating is total dogshit

Any fucking ref of late tbh!

So fucking infuriating this game, the ref's letting them get away with so many shirt pulls and trips, it's fucking ridiculous! The officiating is utter dogshit in every fucking game these days, just down to what level of dogshit, today's has been fucking Great Dane dogshit!

The Wolves players are so very Latino - bloody divers, whingers and time-wasters.

Wood =

Do we even have anyone on the bench worth bringing on?

What a load of crap, never a red, shouldn't have been investigated - wind back to the obvious pen for us that wasn't given in the first half and bizarrely VAR seeing nothing in it. Shit officiating as per usual.

Getting miffed in every game about the poor officiation standards, can't help wondering if half of the problem isn't down to too many stupid little rules which hamper interpretation. That said, should have had a penalty all day long for the shirt/arm pull, can't see how VAR let's it go either. Willock and Wood have been pants, Longstaff less than average... need to get on it in the second half, the lack in decent squad depth is costing up the game right now, Wolves are there for the taking.

What was it Man Utd wanted for Lingard in January again? Necky fuckers, can pay over the odds this time.

Can't see the logic in loaning him out to be a second choice keeper somewhere else, surely Pope needs competition as much as anyone else (and we can't possibly rely on Darlow for that).

Clearly missed when the ref didn't send their forward off for what should have been a second yellow or straight red, plus the pen we weren't given... yes, the bloke is a melon.

We'll most likely have another couple of players by then too

Nooooooooooooooooo! It can't happen!!! Would right take the shine off signing Isak ?

Ah man, but now I'm reading Paqueta's reps are in London discussing a £33m bid from West Ham, will be gutting if he goes there ?

Aye and it's bloody exciting to be us right now too ☺️

That's what I'm hoping, they must have something in the pipelines to cover it.

There was a whole thread on why we have to be careful and were likely sticking a low end structure on spending until were established and hopefully in Europe again, to do with FFP and all that guff. Just thought if it's an issue this sort of splooge could endanger that plan, we wouldn't want to fall foul of it.

Must admit, I'm slightly worried about the money side of things if all the recent explanations of our spending capabilities is anything to go by. I mean, I'm sure our new owners wouldn't put us at risk, but I hope it doesn't mean we'll struggle.

Not happening til it's on Jimbo's tele

Can't believe I'm pissed off with a draw against Man City, it should have been 3-2 though. Fucking ref was atrocious, we should have had a foul before the corner that lead to their second goal, the wanker didn't give us a thing, was essentially City's 12th man throughout the match. Great performance by us, but we were robbed of all three point imo.

Ref's been turbo shit so far, totally inconsistent in Citeh's favour.

The amount of years Bruce has been a manager for and got away with it is an incredible feat in itself. Even after being found out again and again, with the exception of his time at Hull and Wigan maybe (even a broken watch is right twice a day), it is utterly amazing! I can only assume Bruce's entire career has been possible by getting favours from people he's befriended and having an innate ability to target gullible club owners. I've worked with project managers like him who've drifted through their career, bullshitting their way in each job while knowing absolutely nothing, then moving on when they've been rumbled - but with Bruce he's had the bonus that football clubs actually have to pay him off when he's found out. Incredible.
