Throwing Bad Money After Good - the EFL and Beyond 2017-18

Whoops...is the essence of the league cup

Guess it makes a welcome change for villa not to be crashing out in the first round 2-0 to league 2 opposition following a goalkeeping clanger and an own goal. Progress is progress.

Except for when it comes to the sponsorship of the efl cup. What the FUCK is a carabao. Wish the commentators weren't quite so earnest when using the name

one touch football from Colchester

Lol

Yesssss Chris Nichol reference! My dad must've told me that story fifty times

no sound in here, ELO on the jukebox tho appropriately

Wrt the Colchester player getting a goal after scoring an O.G earlier. Chris Nichol being the lad that once scored all four goals in a 2-2 draw

That Colchester right winger was quick then, we might even have a game on

well that fizzled out

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.

44 games to go yet. Out with my oldest boy today and we're working hard on managing our expectations

fuck it, be arrogant early pacesetters and enjoy it. It is always much more fun - even if you end up bollocksing it all up by October!

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.

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.

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 :)

holy shit

I looked but can't find it: where are the EFL highlights broadcast this year? Channel 5? And is it also on during a weekday like today?

It is Channel 5, don't know about midweek shows, doesn't look like there's one tonight

very enjoyable millwall result

Neves mate. Stop it! #wwfc pic.twitter.com/ecTOkUSC9k

That Neves goal was pretty tidy!

bloody hell, it looks like Mick isn't ready for the knacker's yard yet.

ty NV

Neves worth every penny already

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.

Hmmmmm

next season you'll both be banned from this thread

only just realised EFL radio commentary is now exclusive to TalkSport

fuck that

xp i will happily take the ban if this thread isn't relevant to Wolves next season

I thought all EFL games are video streamed now?

Like legally with that iFollow at the EFL site.

audio only in the UK

lol cya next year villa ;)

"Bruce, preparing for Saturday’s visit of Norwich, said: “The frustration for me is social media now is vile. Thankfully, I don’t read it, but I hear snippets."

Nothing worse than when that happens.

I hope he isn't hearing dead Brucies, that would be scary.

did I really just hear Ipswich have had 11 shots on target this season, and scored 9 of them !

Ah, rats' cocks

Reading bbc's live text it sounded like Cardiff were on top most of the match

League One is ours

Dom is somewhere frowning

cup runs are so passé

Scores against @SouthamptonFC on Monday night for the U23s.

Score against @SouthamptonFC on Weds night for the first team.@1DonovanWilson pic.twitter.com/iN1KuOK48f

Chris Samba looking like an actual footballer so far tonight, who'd have thunk

Been a bad first 15 mins but I like Keinan Davies a lot, him and Andre Green have gotta be the development projects this season

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

Awesome to have a manager who knows what he's doing

starting to think his work at Hull was a fluke
