City piling on massive pressure now. David Silva so close.

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 09:38 AM

wolves attacking better now. not quite dangerous yet but looking... unbottled

demonrail666 · 05.12.2019, 09:38 AM

Laporte scores, 2-1 man city

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 09:39 AM

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 09:45 AM

doherty just hit the goalpost. yikes!

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 10:13 AM

wolfitos doing great this second half i think. look to me more able to play their way.

bunch of fouls both ways

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 10:19 AM

old man milner (lol) getting ready to come in

someone needs to change the tide which currently favors wolves

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 10:24 AM

man city 3?

—

hah, ilkay makes it 4

meanwhile wolves been close to equalizing

—

and against the run of play supergoal mane. 2-0

—

wolves did well. not disappointed. here’s to them carrying on with their plans next year. enjoyable squad.

and may liverpool beef up their reserves

demonrail666 · 05.12.2019, 01:52 PM

Once Man City got their 3rd I switched to the WH game.

So symbols, you've watched quite a bit of the Prem this season. Any impressions? I know you're largely neutral and mainly watched the Bundesliga the last couple of years so interesting to know how it came across.

!@#$%! · 05.12.2019, 02:14 PM

yeah this year i watched mostly prem and neglected the bundas (lol)

im not “committed” to any position nor quite feeling it emotionally yet but it’s been a good aesthetic experience.

things i like about the prem is more great international players, more great teams, and more parity among them. no other league can compete right now. it’s like the world cup, every week. circus maximus. and i think other leagues are falling behind.

saw with sadness robben and ribéry still at bayern in their mid 30s, and nobody with the technical ability to replace them. kimmich very promising, goretzka promising... but it’s more of a promising team now than a top one.

pulisic is moving from dortmund to chelsea after 5 great years-- keep an eye on him. all the best “germans” (#notallgermans) have been moving to england, lol. debruyne, klopp, aubameyang... , sane was there already... i wonder how soon till someone scoops up lewandowski, reus, timo werner... even players who were good but not great were scooped up, like sokratis or the disappearing mkhitarian (where did he go?). karius at liverpool. leno at arsenal. ilkay at man city. etc etc.

the prem is absolutely the league to watch right now, otherwise you’re missing out on the center of world football. i think it’s gotten even better than champions league, as a contest. if anything, there is so much to watch i can’t follow it all. i’m very glad to have access to it.

but yeah so far it’s more admiration than love. there are teams i like but i have not yet found a "home" in it. looking forward to next year for sure...

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is relentless, especially around December/January. That's always been the case but I don't think anyone can question the quality now either. La Liga may have Real and Barca but under them it becomes a bit of a hodge-odge, whereas the established top 6 in the Prem all have serious ambitions to win big trophies every year. That also makes it attractive to top or emerging managers as they have more options than seems to be the case in other leagues.

Anyway, now it's 2 months of transfer madness before the whole thing starts again.

Gonna be interesting to see if Wolves can build on this season. It's not uncommon for a team to surprise everyone one season then collapse in the next one, and I can see them having a hard time keeping hold of players like Jota and Doherty.

Fairly happy with West Ham finishing 10th. A terrible start then the usual inconsistency for the rest of the season. The Arnie debacle in January didn't help but Lanzini coming back was great, and Declan Rice looks like a genuine star for the future. Hopefully the owners will maintain their low key profile next season (it must be killing them) and back Pellegrini to reinforce the team and replace Arnie, assuming he's going. I don't see us ever breaking into the top 6 but I'd be happy if the team can establish itself as an upper-mid-table team, with maybe a big FA Cup run, or Europa place every now and then. And playing decent football.

Team of the Year: Have to say Wolves, and for that reason would have to make NES my manager of the year. Although Poch has been brilliant in a difficult season for Spurs.
Player of the Year: I had said Sterling but can't see past VVD now. Best defender in the Prem and a reasonable shout for best in the world based on this season's performance.
Goal of the Year: Sigurdsson v Leicester for me. As much for the turn as for the shot.
Flop team: Has to be Man U
Flop manager:Gonna say Ole. Gave MU a spike when he replaced Jose and I thought he deserved the full-time job but they're now no better than they were under the special one.
Flop Player: Fred.

Less.of this deep post season analysis. I have what you've all been waiting for. That's right Petr Cech and THE Roger Taylor, nono not the Duran Duran member, ONLY the drummer from Queen have done a song together!!

And yes. It's absolutely as bad as you'd expect it to be.

!@#$%! · 05.15.2019, 09:32 AM

yeah i heard it the other day lololol. for about 5 seconds

!@#$%! · 05.15.2019, 09:35 AM

i dont know enough to make yearly assessments because i have not watched broadly enough to compare, plus i still don’t know a lot of names

but do i like wolves? hell yeah, from day 1. therefore, i blame nuno, hahaha. yeah. good manager.

they need someone better than traore.

_tunic_ · 05.15.2019, 09:50 AM

Tonight will be the last round of Dutch competition (it was postponed due to Ajax' Champions League adventures). PSV still has a fair chance to become the winner. They only have to win with a positive goal difference of +14, and Ajax has to loose.
