    It dawned on me earlier that my son will be in Prague for the final 100 years since his great granddad was at the 1923 white horse final.

    That’s family commitment right there.❤️⚒

    Some might say nepotism hahaha

    Sorry for your loss. It's heartbreaking when when you lose a beloved pet. I cried my eyes out when we had to have our German Shepherd Inga put down a few years ago. 💔

    Kuching, they're very cute, which one is the male?

    The white one is male. Found in a ditch, a couple of weeks younger than the black one that was abandoned near a fresh food market.
    16 years is a good run. Must have been a happy cat 😺

    Thanks for your kind words everyone, I can't believe how upset I am. We buried her in the garden yesterday evening.
    Kuching, yes she was a very happy cat.
    Re. your puppies, it has to be Harry & Meghan doesn't it. ;)

    Whilst, yes, it would be nice to do better against local rivals, it's not something that worries me much. In 2020/21 when we finished 6th we came fourth out of six, in the London Mini-League, yet still finished 2nd out of 6 in terms of just league placings.

    Does anyone else think it's strange and possibly unfair that the added time this weekend has been significantly higher than usual? I saw or heard something that suggested it was being calculated as it was in the World Cup, but it doesn't feel right that such a change in guidelines should happen so late in the season.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Yesterday it was mainly down to injuries or “fake” injuries.

    It just seemed very high across a number of games.

    buffy, Everton equalised at 17.00 on Saturday that shows how much extra time was played. Of course Liverpool didn’t finish until after that! 😉






  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I think referees have been instructed to clamp down more on time wasting. On Saturday I don’t think there was a time during the Forest Arsenal game that there wasn’t a minimum of 3 Forest players lying on the ground.

    The matter is beginning to be clamped down on now that matches are having genuine added on time. All you need is the fourth official or VAR guy stopping a clock when necessary and then letting the referee know how long is due at the end. Players down then stop the clock, easy.

    If they think the player is doing it just to break up the game then allow the game to go on and if they need treatment ensure they have it off the pitch and let the match begin again.

    I'm fine with that in principle, I just find it very questionable that it's been introduced 2 weeks before the end of the season.
  • alderzalderz
    But if you don't give Liverpool 10 minutes of stoppage time they might not qualify for the Champions League!

    Really interesting article about Jamal Baptiste and the illness that has been keeping him out - also on how people assume things about why young players aren’t progressing. Feels like a shame he’s leaving after all of this.

    Anyone else thinks Jarod Bowen unlucky not to be named in the England squad?
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky

    I think he has not had a great season but has begun to be the Bowen we know in the last maybe 10 games or so. I think he is so central to our ability to win games as can score, create and is a constant menace when on song.

    I think he has been our best signing for a long time. Zouma may run him close but has spent time out.

    If Bowen and Antonio can impose themselves in Prague I think it will make the difference.

    A nod to Dawson of course when reflecting on signings, who was definitely the best value. Wolves fans love him and some have posted that they feel it was his signing that pulled them clear of relegation.
