    Vitor sacked

    Replying to this pre 4pm post at 7pm so no idea yet if there are subsequent posts, but Carsley would 100% be my first choice.

    Chelsea (H) Carabao Cup R4: Build Up, Match & Verdict

    I've just seen Delap's second yellow - I was behind it last night - and that's a shocking decision by the ref. One of the clearest straight reds you'll ever see. I can confirm that the ref wasn't in the upper tier of the NB so he doesn't have the same excuse as me for not seeing it and if his...

    Chelsea (H) Carabao Cup R4: Build Up, Match & Verdict

    I think it's a perfect illustration of why good teams play through the press and why poor teams regularly mess it up. We aren't good pressing ourselves or being pressed so yes, I think we should be looking at alternative options. It's starts with Sa's skittishess and unpredictability.

    Chelsea (H) Carabao Cup R4: Build Up, Match & Verdict

    I think this is what I meant earlier with '£12m-18m punts not working', summed up in a single player. He could have been a £3m-£5m investment/gamble in all honesty but would have been better playing 40-50 games for Celta in an environment where he could have progressed. Rodrigo, Lima etc are...

    Chelsea (H) Carabao Cup R4: Build Up, Match & Verdict

    I agree, both with normally enjoying Slinks views and my reaction to the daytripper remarks. I go to every single home game [I've missed one of the last 450 and probably five of the 450 before that] and as many away games as possible/tickets are available for and want us to win every one. That...

    I don't have a degree but my daughters got a really good one. 88% and a distinction is rarefied territory!

    Genuinely one of the nastiest people I've met. Took great delight, after seeing him and his 'mates*' act like thugs for weeks, watching him be put on his arse after pushing his luck once too often. Ironically by one of the smallest guys in the pub. *stopped using a certain taxi firm in Wolves...

    Terrible takes.

    I'm going early. We will win at the weekend.

    Everton (H) 23/09 - Carabao Cup R3 Thread

    First JR testimonial was March 1982. I knew he had two but initially could only reference the second initially on the web in 1985. I know he left in between times but I can't remember why he got two testimonial games?

    Everton (H) 23/09 - Carabao Cup R3 Thread

    Wilkins (and Stapleton) were two of the best players I've seen in a Wolves shirt. John Richard's first testimonial I think (?). Must have been against Moscow Dynamo as Lev Yashin was wheeled in front of the North Bank in his wheelchair.

    I think it closed in the mid 80's!

    I'll be there but I must admit it's solely through habit and not with any actual desire tonight
