    Nowhere near our best today ... still had chances to win it. That's footie. Should be a much more open affair against the Scousers next weekend.

    Boring afternoon of footie so far. Let’s hope Pool v City is a bit more interesting.

    Drew away at Wolves mate ... they've beaten Chelsea and Arsenal and drawn with the Spuds at home, so not so bad and Vardy gets some game time ...

    Remind me how you got on yesterday, did you manage to match Palace and Sheff United at OT?

    Wolves really haven’t got a striker worthy of the title since poor Jimenez literally had his head smashed in by Sideshow Bob. Thought they played well today, they’re just toothless, don’t look like scoring unless it’s a potshot from outside the box.

    Decent game for a 0-0 though.

    Let’s see if City play into the red ****es hands again. Stones hasn’t made any gaffs for a while like, just saying,

    We beat Wolves away recently, bossed them.

    Beat another midlands side away as well iirc.

    I know Pool are **** and City are the best team ever but Pool at well over 2/1 at home is too big a price.

    I'd agree ... we didn't do enough to win it and they are always a pain to play with their tactical approach ... especially frustrating when they are at home ... but that's yet another game unbeaten away ... so on we go.

    I agree tbh. Especially given the way they play. The RS will press high and try and force them into errors playing out, or harass them enough into playing long balls into the channels. I can see them beating City here, Rodri turns slower than milk I’m just not having him.

    ... and deserved it ... but you were also a bit fortunate to have got a point at home. We were very good in that, up there with our best away performances byut without the rewards that we got at Citeh, Spurs and the Goons.

    That was their best performance for a while imo, despite their win against the Goons. Traore looked much more like his old self, Justin will know he’s been in game today.
