If You Don't Laugh You'll Cry

I keep thinking about that last-minute Wolves win, how much I celebrated it at the time and it was all for nothing. God I hate this team sometimes

It did its job in winding up Ruben Neves & his Wolves teammates. That's good enough for me

I think the thing about this club that feels really grim is that we just have no real matchwinners. You can't get anywhere without them. I was watching a compilation on Youtube of some famous goals in big games and 2 of the Arsenal goals stood out: Henry away to Madrid and Arshavin home to Barcelona. For us to ever get to where we can be a successful European club, we need multiple players with the bollocks to come through in moments like that and we have none. The quality in that Cesc, Nasri, Arshavin, RVP side(let's not even speak of the Invincibles) ultimately didn't win anything but was light years ahead of what we have at the club now and we can't even put in a performance against Southampton with something on the line let alone outplay Prime Barcelona or stuff the Galacticos in their stadium. It's just depressing. Arteta and Edu have neither the skill nor the pull to attract the requisite players and I worry that those who could maybe develop into being of that level will justifiably seek greener pastures when they reach that same conclusion. It's such a shame.

This is funny/sad:



We've had 54 dribbles that created shots, the third most of any side.

From those 54 dribbles we've created 1 (one) goal, the equal least of any side.

That's a 2% conversion rate from dribbles leading to shots, into actual goals. Most teams are around 10%, a bunch are closer to 20%.

I reckon maybe one day it'll be a good idea for us to sign a decent striker. No hurry though.

Still one of the top 3 moments of season. Only time we won coming from behind and laca scored a goal that wasn’t from penalty spot

Wasn't it actually Sa that diverted it in? I can't remember if it was going wide initially

We're really a finished club. Now the photographer is treating a glorified tube performer like Ed Sheeran (also a glorified tube performer to be fair).

Thats awful from us.

Mentality and lack of respect is something we need to improve for next run in.

Crazy how something like that could happen with Xhaka's fabled leadership.

And then Charity FC delivered again, against this godawful bogey Soton team.

I hope they never come back in the Premier League.

Spoiler: Look away

Tbf they did play well against us, we didn't play well, but they played a lot better than they did against Newcastle and Everton.
