The differential between who finishes top compared to who finishes bottom must surely be the narrowest in any league in World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city123456 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Pains me to say, but Leeds looked really good, especially how quickly they replied to Stoke's goal, then proceeded to close the game out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the usual situation of one or two poor sides being tailed off early doors or an exceptional side at the top like Wolves last year it really is a division that`s up for grabs for nearly everyone within reason.

See how it lasts through the winter grind. Could argue we played similarly well at times last season and then faltered after about 30 games. Will be interesting to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Only have to look at the quality of what Leeds brought in. Jack Harrison on loan etc Kind of quality we need to bring in if we ever want to push for promotion. Still a long way from ever doing that.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 1 hour ago, BobBobSuperBob said: A midlands football writer on radio last night said Wolves had to buy Afobe as clause in the deal when he went there in loan (Committed to buy if they got promotion ) ( I’m sure we had same with Diony - at least we blew the relevance that clause to pieces ) But they didn’t want him when it came to it so immediately offloaded him Explains The ‘strange’ transfer Afobe says that was not the case.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 2 hours ago, Esmond Million's Bung said: Afobe says that was not the case. It improves their financial position- Wolves that is- and their FFP position. It's player trading, happens in Europe a lot more than here (thinking Italy, Spain and Portugal particularly). Maybe player flipping a good term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 That post match interview was excruciatingly embarrassing though. The interviewer asked quite long questions, which the translator whispered into managers ear, manager replied in his lingo, was then told how to say that in English , and then attempted , badly, to copy what was said to him. Reminded me of a bad comedy sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke got a wake up call; well I hope they did for their sake because, as Shawcross said, they were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
