The biggest issue with listening to vast quantities of podcasts on 1.2x speed is that when you come to have conversations with real humans you want to advise them to speak a bit faster if they want your attention to hold

It resembles an England Ashes scorecard. Never change, Wolves
Wolves signing a 26yo keeper called Joao Virginia who has played more games for Portugal youth teams than club league games might well be peak Wolves
30 years ago today Pearl Jam released their 4th album, No Code. The album which changed the band forever & shaped its future. I remember running down to Our Price to buy it that morning. Which makes me old, and the world different.

No it fucking doesn’t.
I've never been high on Wirtz, but this is the reality. If this narrative continues, players will continue picking Bayern/PSG/Madrid/Barca over the PL big teams simply because it's easier to play Elche than it is to play Brentford.
The PL needs to look into this ASAP.

Sherwood:
"For Wirtz, time's run out. Well, it hasn't run out, he'll get more opportunities".
That's what we tune in for.
Some very, very good points here from Vaughan
'The bigger one, the more systemic one (mistake racing made) which is harder to come back from is it has conceded this point that gambling is not something to be supported.'
Vaughan Lewis explained the strategic error British Racing made in its 2025 campaign for a tax carve out.

2-2 for two of the worst new kits in the league this season. That old Candy one of Liverpool’s like this was their worst in 40 years so why you’d copy that is anyone’s guess and Newcastle’s is an abomination. Take one of the game’s iconic jerseys and ruin it, well played.

Huge fan of players who were 4-0 down at half time being interviewed afterwards and saying ‘we actually started the game very well.’
You hear it a fair bit and it’s always good for a chuckle. Not sure if it’s one for @FootballCliches or @bryansgunn or someone else tbh

John McGinn analyses Aston Villa’s 4-0 opening day defeat against Brighton 🗣️
No one complaining about who wore the captain’s armband yesterday? Win football matches and the small things become irrelevant.
It’s only possible to think of one man seeing this.. you’re still missed @theformanalyst
It’s taken exactly one trip for Catch 22 to kick in. Why would you want to go back up when you can have days out in proper towns like that instead of 8 trips a year to soulless London bowls? So much more fun. But you have to want to go up otherwise there’s no point to any of it.

Big night of analysis on @TheWolvesReport tomorrow, evening, the gaffer’s got the building blocks in place
When it’s the first big Saturday 3pm away of the season but you’re rapidly approaching 47 years of age
League 2 liquidity on the biggest exchange 24hrs before the game. Tiny amounts available on most games, and huge gaps between bid and offer in many cases. Affordability - which the GC says doesn't even exist yet - as well as various other factors, have killed it all. Quite sad.

Take a bet to the counter, don't get it

We need them to win this battle with government/prohibitionists so we can continue to bet, but it's so hard to rally behind them. They just don't help themselves

Tried to get a season match bet on in coral over counter (premier league)
PTL’d then Refused the bet & slashed the price from 11/4 to 2/1
This is the premier league, the most liquid of markets in the world 1 day before the season starts
Modern day “bookmaking”

Palmeiras are going to be very upset when someone tells them how release clauses work
Not a development. It’s not been played at Molineux since the Norwich playoff in 2002. The decision was made 24 years ago & football’s only gone one way since. It couldn’t be authentic now anyway. An entire generation has missed how Molineux used to be prematch. Can’t be restored

Interesting development. You can understand the club’s sensitivities & also fans’ rivalry/generating atmosphere. Where do you draw the line? Some chants are obviously offensive & need stamping out. Will every chant be scrutinised, sanitised, even liquidated? Swearing about VAR?

4-6 weeks at this time of year means about 15% of the season. This is a big early test for the new manager.
🚨Excl: Kieran Trippier (knee) and Yerson Mosquera (ankle) both face around 4-6 weeks out due to injury. A huge blow for Wolves, who could miss them for the next 8 games. Also latest on Rafiki Said, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Sam Johnstone. #wwfc#

Be surprised if it’s option rather than obligation. Given the interest from numerous clubs what’s in it for Rennes to agree to an option? But if that is the deal it’s been very well negotiated by Wolves, who don’t have a recent track record for sound negotiating. Credit where due

#Wolves# are close to signing Rennes midfielder Jordan James in an initial loan deal with an option to sign permanently. Wales international to do his medical later on Wednesday. This feels like a quality signing and much needed for Wolves

Hard to put your finger on quite why the Hundred is so shit. I get up early in December to watch Finn Allen bat in Big Bash. Opens with Duckett here, ought to be fun to watch. The whole thing is just forced nonsense. Doubling down on a mistake would be disastrous. It’s got to go.
