spent the second half chatting with a girl on facetime, stream froze up on 49 mins. was pleasantly surprised to find we didn't blow it. no complaints here

I was chatting. Saw Colchester have one decent shot that was well saved but it wasn't gripping

Wolves 2-0 up and Villa being thrashed. This day continues to get better and better.

I can make it even better for you: Paul Gladon (how many games did he play for you last year? Two?) showed Heracles the way today, scoring in a 2-1 shock win against Ajax! Top lad.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 12 August 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link
there were at least 3 ex-Wolves scored in England today! Vokes for Burnley, Saville for Millwall and Mendez-Laing for Cardiff.

pleased for Gladon, he never got a fair look in for us. bought during the panic spending spree last summer after Fosun took over when i don't even know who was calling the shots but there was clearly no strategy. have no trust in the opinion of Lambert and i don't even know what Zenga's thoughts were tbh.
― put your hands on the car and get ready to die (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 12 August 2017 21:20 (six years ago) link
Gladon wasn't anywhere near Wolves-aiming-for-PL standard, but it's nice to see sub-par players rebound you know, find their place? Little Heracles is a peculiar old club, forever mid table but always up for a fight against the big ones. A club he should feel right at home. Gladon's a hero there after tonight. Even if he plays shit all season, he lead Heracles to a first day win over Ajax, and that's very pleasing and well deserved, because he does work his ass off. Must be those muscles gained at Wolves :)

Beagrie sacked by sky after domestic abuse case. I am sure this isn't the first time. I can remember a night game against Scunny where he was getting strong verbal abuse while taking corners, people chanting something about him being a wifebeater or a rapist, and that was over ten years ago. Horrible fucking guy, he definitely always had that violent scumbag aura about him.

Our chairman let slip last night that Nahki has gone down the Jordan Rhodes route of chasing bigger money at panicky champo clubs, rather than committing to a season in the bigtime. GL to the little shit, and he might need it - because he also said we can afford to let him rot in the reserves if no move materialises, and he won't be let anywhere near the squad. He has totally overplayed his hand considering how far down the pecking order he has dropped, and might be shocked to find it won't be The Nahki Wells Show even if he goes to "the likes of" Hull, Middlesbro or wherever.

Steve Bruce picks a back three for the first time, realises after 20 mins that we're being played off the park, switches to a back four leaving a number of players out of position

starting to think his work at Hull was a fluke
― Neves Say Neves Again (Noodle Vague), Friday, 25 August 2017 19:14 (six years ago) link
can't front like i paid the least attention to his Hull team when they were in the Championship but what he's doing at Villa right now is a disgrace. leaving c. £40 million's worth of attacking talent (some of it's probably worth at least half of the fee!) out of the eleven in order to lock things down by going three at the back against beatable opposition is unforgivable. can't stand all this "he knows his way out of the division" nonsense, there are the players in this Villa squad to really make a go of it if only we had a manager who knew how.
also i take back what i said before about Chris Samba. at times he has looked like a total boss defending inside our area but any time the ball comes within striking distance he hoofs it out for a City goal kick and it's getting to be something of a problem. obviously this shouldn't be a surprise to you or me, any fule will know that the single-minded block is the sum total of his game.
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 25 August 2017 19:36 (six years ago) link
being too cautious was absolutely his biggest fault when City were in the Prem - they'd probably not have got relegated under him if he didn't insist on trying to scrape a draw against teams he should have been trying to beat, but the first time he took them up he had them playing some decent football imo, three at the back but two good flying wing backs, two up front and Thudd given space to play. looks like he can't even marshall a defence properly now altho why you'd want that poisonous narcissist JT anywhere near an actual team god only knows
― Neves Say Neves Again (Noodle Vague), Friday, 25 August 2017 19:44 (six years ago) link
tho now he's brought Snodgrass in as well as Elmohamady it looks like he's trying to create Hull Mk 2. i think his bottle's completely gone tbh.
― Neves Say Neves Again (Noodle Vague), Friday, 25 August 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
well Bruce actually explained during his pre-match interview this evening that JT actually deigned to drive his car all the way to Chesterfield on "the worst night of the year so far" (i think he was talking about the weather) for our recent Caribou Cup game, and he clapped all the young lads on the shoulder and wished them the very best of luck and told them that he was sure that everything would be alright on the night
that's why he's in the team. apparently.
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 25 August 2017 20:05 (six years ago) link
whether it'd make a significant difference to the overall performance having, idk, Tommy Elphick or Mile Jedinak out there clapping shoulders as opposed to England's Beloved John Terry, who can say
― Windsor Davies, Friday, 25 August 2017 20:07 (six years ago) link
for any Spurs fans who may be lurking out there (lol who am i kidding) Josh Onomah just got his first goal for Villa. you'll be pleased to learn that it was a total fluke and in no way connected with any particular skill on the part of the kid

I am sad that QPR have bought David Wheeler off us. I like him, he used to write pro-Corbyn columns in the Express & Echo. I hope he does well there.
It's an odd feeling - we know perfectly well that the only way for a little club with no rich backers to hold our own even in League 2 is to develop and sell on players. We know that the fact that we're developing a pretty good record in doing so will hopefully make us more attractive to young hopefuls in the future, and hopefully this all works in a virtuous circle. We even have another emerging 16-y-o wonderboy to get excited about just now. For all that, it's still a melancholy feeling to see your best players zooming upwards and offwards to not-quite-as-obscure-obscurity.
