Poor parenting is definitely to blame

It’s me that’s being punished though (for taking him to see Denis Bergkamp under floodlights, probably) - the boy’s been spared a life time of sorrow

My son (28 this year) is Matthew. Still can’t believe I got away with that one
God has a sense of humour though; he’s an Arsenal fan.
Exactly. Ings was very good today. And really, he has been doing this for us all season, so not sure what people were seeing.
He has been quite adept and finding the gap between midfield and defense. He’s also pretty good at subtly overloading a side to further confuse things between CB’s and fullbacks.
When he does this, it pulls out a CB and gives Redmond his chance to make one of those inside forward-ish diagonal runs. His interplay with Redmond has been great and a big part of Redmond’s resurgence. Although Redmond deserves credit to for learning how to time his runs and becoming a much better finisher, as he showed today.
You can see Sims is not quite as adept at the timing and as a result sometimes gets steered outside. Although not criticizing him at all as he hasn’t had the same time in the side, plus he is young, plus he put in a few nice passes today so he was still effective.
Nice thing about Ings is, he still has his scorer’s instinct. Basically he has been doing all the things Long supposedly does except Ings can actually score. Although Long scored today, so can’t say anything bad about him either.
We just played really well today. I was really impressed. People are saying the defense was shaky but I thought they did quite well. Wolves were pretty good with the ball today and the CB’s were given a tough task because Bertrand and Valery were pushing upfield and JWP is not our best tackler in midfield. Wolves were smart and were able to get in behind the midfield and then tried to spread out the CB’s. At times the best the CB’s could do is try and stay compact, hold the center and wait until the rest of the team could get back. Which I thought they managed.
Once they got some help in the form Romeu they were fine. No shame in needing an extra DM to help you out against a good attacking side. But they held things down long enough for us to grab a lead where we could then afford to take a more defensive posture.
Spot on! I also didn’t really think Danny had a great game yesterday but Ralph gave him a role which he adapted to. He’s probably still a bit rusty but produced 2 fabulous defence splitting passes, 1 made a goal & the other should of. Not a bad contribution.
Danny Murphy said on MOTD how well Ings played and analysed his performance highlighting his contribution.
Yeah, quite clear that Ings is a brilliant players and streaks ahead of long. Very intelligent footballer and not only has the ability to pick out great passes, but is one of our only players able of even seeing them.Ian Wright more so. Ings has a great game. He’s a quality player.

Also think he will improve if he stays fit for a regular run of games.
You mean God has been kind to you!! What if he had become a ……...Spurs supporter?

Long, like everyone, has improved under Ralph. But for 60k a week he is one of our best paid players and shows why we have a high wage bill but no particularly star players. We are currently paying 32 year old subs and loan players what we should be paying good first team regulars.As will his scoring stats because Strikers generally get sharper with more game time.
Danny should always start ahead of Shane, but I still maintain that Shane offers a great option from the bench and is useful as an out ball at places like Anfield and the Etihad.

I really hope he does. But as with Forster, Clasie, Carrillo and Hoedt, they wont take a pay cut but nobody will match their wages.He'll go in the summer, these goals are just a cunning plan to make someone buy him. That's why we're all pretending the Leicester one wasn't obviously a Schmeichel OG.
