Think itā€™s high time Wolves were due a winā€¦

2466

Probably because it isnā€™t true.

Sorry your right its 2 non penalty goals in the league going back 30th November last year goals against Fulham and Leeds.

That extra goal makes it all the difference stops the criticism :pensive_face:

Also had 130 days out injured since that date. Really donā€™t get the hate for him. The lad is a cracking playerā€¦

Arsenal fans are very happy with Saka. Heā€™s obviously a smashing player. Iā€™d have him as a Salah replacement in a heartbeat.

At the same time, itā€™s a fair comment to say he does not get that many goals and arguably the reputation is higher than the output.

Please, donā€™t ever mention Saka as a replacement for Salah.

Its bordering on heresy.

To combat the throw-in danger, Sunderland moved the advertising boards around the edge of the pitch closer in than usual, to limit the amount of space Arsenal players had when looking to launch the ball.

Itā€™s funny to think that these are the same clubs that mocked us when we had a throw in coach.

We had a throw in coach? Why didnā€™t we adopt the long throw tactic then.. people getting all sniffy about it are ridiculous. I saw one poster call it ale house football. :roll_eyes:

Itā€™s almost ā€œwe would rather not score goals at all than resort to thatā€.

I seem to recall that the throw in coach was about faster restarts and retaining possession. This was under the Klopp Heavy Metal tactics.

When Trent was on the throw in it was more the later than the formerā€¦ always seem to take an age to decide.

The throw in coach was there for around 3 years AFAIK. Iā€™m wondering if they merged this into the set piece coaching?

Hard to believe as good as Trent was with the ball at his feet, he was the dead opposite with it in his hands
