all Wolves but no chances yet

Wolves look toothless. Hopefully this comment will lead to an avalanche of wolves goals.

Wolves hit the bar when it was easier to score

Close!

Brighton will be happy with a point.
Wolves looking the more likely to score, they're not exactly on the beach, but need to show a bit more flair in the last third of the pitch.

If you read thie match thread they will be ecstatic with a point but believe is it is only possible at 0 - 0

Looks like some real mediocre football today. It'd be painful to watch.

Looking like Brighton are gonna scab a point here.

At least it looks like Cardiff won't get anything at Fulham.

For all the hype about Ruben Neves I don't think he's been that good this season in the PL

decent point for Brighton, leaves Cardiff needing snookers really

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:54 pm

0 goals in the last 5 PL games will be a concern for Brighton as realistically there's only the Newcastle game you would fancy them to get any points from. Still a tough ask for Cardiff to win 2 of their last 4 games.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:55 pm

Brighton's failure to win also means they are highly unlikely to catch us now.

We will however drop a place tonight after the Newcastle v Southampton game.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:56 pm

I always remember the comment by Chris Hughton regarding our style of play.

Brighton hardly play like Barcelona. People in glass houses.

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 5:00 pm

Brighton had a good cup run though, some utc posters would be happy with that even though it could end in relegation..........of course they would be happy!

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Apr 20, 2019 5:05 pm

What's the best result Newcastle v Southampton as it would be good to get a few extra million in the bank regarding places?

both have more than decent run ins, guess a draw. Probably prefer a Newcastle win to keep saints under a bit of pressure though

Yep.And it'll be a major surprise if they got one tomorrow against the Scousers.

I didn't used to mind Hughton but the more under pressure he gets the more of a dick he becomes, shame really.

I'm not sure of all the permutations, Soton have also got Bournemouth and West Ham to play. We are 2 points behind Bournemouth with a game in hand. It would be a brilliant end to the season to finish above both these teams (and Palace).

But, we've got games against Chelsea (5th), City (top), Everton (10th) and Arsenal (4th). Let's see how we go on Monday evening.

They both have much easier fixtures than us, so probably 0-0 with 8 sendings off.

2 on 1 break for Newcastle. Defender takes him out on half way line. Ref gives a yellow??

Would be a fantastic signing. But the only reason he ended up at newcastle was because a late deal to go to China fell through because they left it too late. Rondon through his agent said at the time that it was an option which would be explored again at the end of this season. If thats where he wants to go they will blow most English clubs out of the water with wages.

I've not been watching, but I'm smelling sarcasm. I actually laughed the last time I heard his post match analysis, it was that bad. He must have a lot of shares in BT.

Edit: A Twitter search says it all. Pretty much everybody watching is wondering what he was on about. I'm glad I didn't hear it.

Rafa will be sh!ting money again in the summer up there... he will be going there unless they aim higher. Ashley wants out and has realised he ain’t going to get the deal he wants unless they are a solid mid prem team.

Left the sarcasm in the drawer... Basically he was on about Newcastle fans wanting rafa to have more money to guarantee them a higher placing etc. M.O. Correctly said....all fans want their clubs to have more spending power even City ...but it doesn't guarantee success, quoting Fulham.
