Almost certain the European Cup final will be moved from St. Petersburg now with all this Russian shenanigans going on and almost inevitably, Wembley gets brought into it! https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/uefa-champions-league-final-venue-26293537

The Wembley link is always brought up by lazy, ill-informed journalist-wannabes in situations like this but what they're more likely to do with this game is to give it to next years hosts, the Ataturk in Istanbul.

I assume he means there are no massive ego's in the team, most were unknown before coming to Wolves ( I know Mout and Patricio were massive for Portugal ) but for the most part pretty low key. No one had ever heard of the Managers we seem to get but the last 2 have done us proud.
The risk with this is if they make an impression they get poached (Jota for example) but at least a profit can be made.
We're just enjoying the ride at the moment and hopefully it will continue for a while.
Yes, basically. I think Grant Fondo thought I was having a 'pop' at Wolves ? On the contrary I intended my post as a compliment. :blush:

Just read a really interesting article in the Guardian about goalkeeping and how most pundits / commentators don't really understand the role and what's actually happening ( or supposed to be happening ) on the pitch.

Good read that, thanks. As a former 'keeper it's always done my head in how misunderstood the position is.

I may be slightly biased, but I think it's the hardest, both in terms of what you have to do and the level of scrutiny.

Its on sky prem at 2215.
Not the same as live I know but its the whole match.
I got that recording, but i would prefer the match live if possible. I have no issues streaming the game to my tablet

Only consolation is you have an extended career compared to most outfield players, not really important unless you're professional though I suppose.

I went to a non league game on Tuesday, first n-l for donkeys years. Was very surprised when half the crowd was milling around at the start waiting for the toss to then make there way behind the attacking goal once "ends" were chosen.

Then those behind the goals all swap ends at half time. I'd sort of forgot that happened. Its also odd as supporters and chant like crazy at each other during the match, and then politely file past each other with a nod at half time:laugh:

Also as a defender its slightly odd because there is as much / more pleasure in watching a great centre half performance shutting out the opposition, as seeing your striker toe poke one in from 6 yards, but all the fans want to be where their team may score a goal.
