Re: EPL 2021-2022 Season

For some reason I thought the Newcastle vs. Villa game was on this morning and didn't see we beat them 1-0 via a slightly but importantly deflected Trippier set piece. Unfortunately Trippier looks to have broken a bone in his foot so will be out for a while.

Amazing what a few wins can do for a team's mindset. If we can manage to jag a point vs. both West Ham and Brentford in the next two fixtures and put in a good showing against Brighton at home I'll feel a lot better about the away fixture at Chelsea thereafter.

I'm going to be in the UK from 14 March to 9 April and would love to get to a game. Hey GG, do you know how to find a ticket to SJP?

Yes was a good game, 3 wins in a row. Trippier injury sucks he's been the best recruit I can reme. ber, maybe since Cabaye.
I've been lucky enough to get tickets through family with season tickets so I don't know, but I can ask for you plenty of people I know up that way.

Leave it with me.

Edit : I've asked what the process is so I'll let you know. It might be tough I see the next home game is already sold out!
You needed to go when we sucked ha.

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Agree re Trippier. Great impact. Now need Wood to find his feet.

Wolves inability to score goals was no match for some Spurs comedy defending. 2-0 up after 20 was enough to get us home. We may be ordinary in the box but we defend like a team possessed. Up to 7th and a chance of the most unlikely European berth in a while.

Conte on a bit of a downer.

I need to watch the mini of that one.

I don't mind the Portugal Wolves.

I watched Spurs a couple of months ago and the tightness of their defencive formations and the synchronisation in their movement was stark compared to the crap we dish up. Super organised.

Eastie you have to drive up to see Chef and pick up Macaroons for GG and I after NUFC held a point against West Ham to keep your boys in the top four.

Really gutsy win for us, given who we have out. Super set piece from the Hammers to go one up, but Willock's finish at the half was classier than it first looked to get us even.

We are still a bit iffy in terms of organisation at the back, but our midfield is better at protecting our defence than it was a few months ago.

Five points outside the relegation zone and feeling a lot better about things.

Good to see Joel and Willock step up today. Really needed them to.

I think that's the least he can do!

Agree played really well, Joelinton is reborn in the midfield. He's eveywhere.
Willock is keeping Bruno G out, amazing what a bit of pressure for places can do.
Considering no Wilson, ASM, Trippier, Lascelles, Manquillo it was a amazing effort to boss the game away to a top 5 side.
Apparently Chris Wood kept meowing at Kurt Zouma.

Dan Burn is a great pick-up. Targett looks solid at full back too. Not sure what Aston Villa were thinking.

Chef : do you do the black and white cookie?

Played Wolves again - winning goal in dying stages.

Two games in hand over MU and only 1 point separates 4th.

Disappointing from a Wolves perspective. Were half a shoulder from being 2-0 up but Arsenal were relentless and deserved it (although it hurts more knowing that the keeper deflected an off target ball into the net). Hurts our chances of Europe next season, assuming that there is a Europe to play in next season.

Re: EPL 2021-2022 Season

Very frustrating draw for Man Utd against Watford. We had lots of chances but could not capitalise. Defended quite well. Top 4 is slipping away. Arsenal in the box seat at the moment unless they start dropping points. Quite open for the top 4 at the moment with West Ham, Wolves and Spurs in contention.

Man City have paid the ref's it would seem. Clear hand ball in the box, move along, nothing to see here in my best officer Barbrady voice.

That was blatant, how does VAR miss that.

Toon going well 13 points from last 5 games, we only could manage 12 from the previous 20!

Re: EPL 2021-2022 Season

Leeds and Brentford are in relegation form.

Burnley playing well I think they will get out of the bottom 3 and be replaced with one of the aforementioned.
