Not yet, but as Matthew123 has outtwitted me, feel my only recourse is to pay up on the next meet, much to my absolute chagrin ! Would be worse if he was a Rag but we all know they will resort to any method to win-It's Fergie time !

Technically, Brum stands a chance as he usurped Matts skullduggery and went to PMs !

For the integrity of Football, Mick McCarthy must be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.


After winning at WHL they travelled to Man U tonight "with 10 new faces from the team that beat Tottenham"

It's the Wolves fans I feel sorry for...''42 quid to watch the reserves''.


All clubs do this to some extent, especially the bigger clubs before big European games and the cups, witness L'Arse's team against Citeh recently. The Sky pundits got it right when they said come the end of season and Wolves are relying on another club to beat one of their relegation rivals, they won't have any come back if that club fields a weakened team because they feel they have a more important game coming up. Karma normally sorts these things out...

Not sure this holds water, how many teams field 10 changes from the previous game in The Prem? The League Cup I can understand but to field a reserve side in the Premier League sets a worrying precedent especially as the purse strings of all but a handful of top sides are being drawn ever tighter and avoiding relegation rather than competing become an increasing priority.

To give McCarthy his due hes at least been forthright in his defence of last nights team selection.


...and yes I am a bitter Spud.

I agree McCarthy was out of order, but I don't see anything happening. I feel for the fans that made the trip to Old Trafford, one bloke flew in from Singapore to watch his beloved Wolves and that has got be be a kick in the goolies!!!

Liverpool did exactly the same a few seasons back for a premier match at Fulham immediately before their european final. Fulham won their first game in yonks and avoided relegation as a direct consequence. It's horridly unfair and against the spirit etc etc but there's nothing to be done!

I just wish McCarthy had put that side out last Saturday against the Spurs. Bar steward!

Having said that I'm off to White Hart Lane tonight for the game against Man City and I'm not entirely confident that we'll get the desired result. In fact I can see us taking a bit of a pasting tonight. Hope I'm wrong.

One od Rafa's greatest moves, removing thr most vile managers in the game from the league.

Sorry for making you feel it was an 'in joke' to your exclusion. Quite a few people were aware of the thread where Blueboy offered ?20 as a bet, and he was unexpectedly caught out. In this thread he was 'donating' ?20 though the liklihood of it happening are pretty slim. Hence my reference to it. Apologies again. I'll try to stick to football in future.

SimonM you are Neil Warnock and I claim my ?20 (sorry SP!)


Seem to remember Warnock playing an understrength Shef Utd team against Utd @ OT and then complaining when Fergie played a 'weakened' team against West Ham, can't have it both ways. I hope Wolves get caught out too...

I can't believe that this is the first game I've been to at White Hart Lane this season. I've normally been half a dozen times by now.

I can see us fielding our strongest team tonight as it is a huge game for us and Spuds. Jah, stay warm mate as I can't see you jumping around much unlike the Blue end of WHL ! CTID


As I mentioned earlier in the thread after the game against Wolves on Saturday I can see us taking a bit of a hammering tonight but of course I hope I'm wrong and you'll be the first to know. Come on you Spurs!!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
