Last week against Southampton, the referee (Attwell) was once the youngest ref to make his debut in the Premier League. This week at Palace, we had the ref who now hold that record, Michael Oliver. The difference in style, player management, and decision-making was amazing. Unlike Attwell...

Yes, my prediction may be a little too positive but I'm so impressed with what I see happening. So much so that I watched us batter Burnley live at 4:30 am. My wife thinks I'm crazy doing that, implying I've gone back to living in the 50s, but I haven't been this excited about watching Wolves...

Based on how I've seen them play so far (having watched every game on TV), I predict the following: Southampton (H) WIN Palace (A) DRAW Watford (H) WIN Brighton (A) WIN Tottenham (H) DRAW Arsenal (A) DRAW

Indeed! Without De Gea, United would have been two down early on, a position from which I would argue they could not have recovered. De Gea has been the main reason why Man U have as many points as they have. Without his performances, they would be a mid-table team and Jose M. would be gone.

I couldn't agree more. Patricio's save just before half time was crucial to Wolves sharing the points. He saved us three points at West Ham and one point against Man City. He is a superb signing who, with the other team members, will ensure a top ten finish for Wolves this season.

Apologies, double post.

I thought Cresswell was very lucky not to be red carded when he thrust his forearm into Docherty. Agree with the other posters on the form of Costa and particularly Jota. Thought Bennett played well, but Patricio was simply magnificent. He is the player who won the three points today. That save...

One of the best games at Molineux in the last 60 years. Wolves were fantastic. It's all been said in the thread, so I thought I would cite a piece written by Nick Miller of ESPN, especially for Alan to take note! <<Wolves show their bite Before this game, Wolves manager Nuno noted that while...

No player under Nuno will ever reach that level! That was only possible under Hoddle, which I think you know.

You are being very generous, Kenny. I'm not for getting rid of Docherty but I do think he needs to be dropped and used as a squad player.

I genuinely hope that your perspective is correct and mine is wrong. Perhaps mine stems from having watched too many games involving him over the years where he appeared to be a disaster waiting to happen, and happen it did yesterday in a game that Wolves should have won.

Jota and Costa were very poor yesterday, relative to what we have come to expect of them based on last season's performances. Docherty, however, has not only NOT reached their previous level of performance (despite his number of games) but yesterday he was abysmal, more to the point a game...

I'm with you, Deutsch, on this one. I thought it was the Docherty comedy of errors show when I was watching it live on TV. First he misses an open goal when it was easier to score, then he heads a brilliant goal, hang on, wrong net, and in the second half when two Wolves players were wide open...

Then you should move to Canada, Alan. Every Wolves game in August and September is on Canadian TV (TSN and Sportsnet World). Once Sky and BT have announced the games on TV for October and November, we will still have all Wolves games on TV because every Premier League game is televised. The two...

I'm saddened by the news that Carl's soccer career is cut short but I'm delighted for him that it is his career and not his life. It's wonderful that he is now in remission and beyond chemotherapy. Having accompanied my wife through two years of surgery, chemotheraphy, and radiation (the full...

Just want to add that I find Dan's work very informative, most professional in scope, and well grounded in his argument and evidence; indeed, a real pleasure to read. Although I don't post much, I've been on here since the BBC's 606 folded (I was approached by NW when the Forum was being set up)...

Belgium v England 2-0 (Hazard) 3 France v Croatia 3-0 (Mbappe) 1 4 points

As someone who is closely connected to referees in North America, I was dismayed when I found out yesterday that Geiger had been allocated the England v Colombia game. I was hoping he would disappoint me and prove me wrong. Alas, he didn't disappoint. For the record, there are better referees in...

I think this post about feigning injury should have been in this thread. It is a refereeing question coming out of the Brazil v Mexico WC game: I just wish that FIFA would expand their view of simulation. If a player who has claimed to be very badly injured e.g., Neymar, Thiago Silva, then gets...

I just wish that FIFA would expand their view of simulation. If a player who has claimed to be very badly injured e.g., Neymar, Thiago Silva, then gets up and runs quickly and easily as both did within less than a minute of receiving treatment, then they should be yellow carded for simulation...
