Dont you find it strange wolves of the championship can attract champions league porto benfica and Atletico Madrid players in yet nobody including the premier league teams that came dwn and aston villa can't attract them? This super agent is a corrupt they are gona win the league by cheating. We had big money to spend but we can only attract brentford and barnsley players which is fair enough we are in the championship.

But how then can Wolves who have always bin rubbish suddenly attract 6 players from the champions league. oh and wheres there FFP they spend a fortune how have the generated money no problem with Villa tonight we played our best just out played by galacticos.

All down to Mendes, soon enough they’ll be rules in place to stop it but for now you just have to deal with it. Not fair and makes rules like FFP pointless, half their team couldn’t point to wolves on a map, that’s not an exaggeration, I bet my house on it.

Win the league by cheating?
Grow up!
We lost, be a man and hold your hands up and accept it.

Stop finding an excuse for everything. They played well, tactically had us in their pockets and their game plan won.

It happens. Palace beat Chelsea today. they must of cheated as well.

What's all this cheating?
Wolves beat us fair and square on the pitch
Foson have very deep pockets and they will support the manager and Mendes with whatever they want,
Yes I am jealous of how they have brought in top Portuguese young players with Mendes behind the deals but would we complain if it was villa who had this opportunity ,
Fans need to grow up and accept it all,

Flackie, Wolves have spent just as much money as we have on there team not sold anybody to get money have no parachute money why isn't FFP on them? They have this currupt super agent buying all these top top players ask yourself this why are they leaving atheltico Madrid and Benfica and Porto where there prob on more money and playing champions league football to go to Wolverhampton?

The rest of the league including teams just come down and us can only by championship players and old prem players Wolves have been rubbish for years why all of a sudden they the biggest attraction over big clubs like Villa Boro Leeds? I accept they beat us Flackie they was class there was nothing we could do or Iam guessing any other championship team. But should they have all these players No!

Flackie, you can't use Chelsea as an example. they're champions that's why players want to play for them. Plus there's no FFP in the Prem, it's been relaxed!

Looking at the results yesterday it's all up for grabs for promotion
Any team can beat anybody on day,
It's going to be a very exciting championship I think,
I still think top 2 is achievable,
Just worried about our lack of pace in team and kodija who looks a different animal to last season,

We got beat fair and square. Was disapointed with the lack of forward progression. kienan davis was awful and think hogan should have been brought on earlier than he was. hutton was immence and snodgrass had a good game. As for the argument on the wolves players. Would we not do the same if it was possible it strikes me that automatic promotion may not be an option it looks at the moment like play offs to me.

Not with Bruce.

Ffp is irrelevant. They have done nothing to break rules, just used them to their advantage.

We could of done the same.

15 Oct 2017 21:10:37
Come on Flackie, they’ve done nothing to break the rules, I’m not 100% on them but I’m sure your incoming have to match your out goings, they don’t get 30 million plus on gate reciepts and what not in 18 months. They spent that on two players, not to mention the rest they signed with them and then the wages to go on top. We’re not exactly rosey as club to do with that but we sold and brought cheap in the summer to conform to it and make an effort.

16 Oct 2017 09:48:52
Mate, I hate the fact that I’m saying this, but no they haven’t.
Ffp is Also about the ability to maintain the balance sheet. Sadly, players in on loan don’t affect the balance sheet.

I wish we had a ‘super agent’ and I bet if we played the system the way they have your opinion on it would be different.

We lost, they where better. Now we either dwell on it, or accept it and move forward, and try to fill the void.

you a right.

Embarrassing tonight, only player to walk off with any credit is Hutton. Other than him every player was poor, 3 that stood out however were;
Whelan - what does he offer at all, he's slow, poor first touch, no creativity, tactically clueless.
Snodgrass - Did he just make his name of playing all the poor teams in the division? Missing today, no quality what so ever.
Elmohamedy - awful, absolutely awful. Jumped under the ball 3/ 4 times, you wouldn't see that at an under 12's game. Flapped under the ball then fell over for the first goal. Going forward he over hit every cross.

Tactics were right against this side, worked perfect first half, second half seemed like they just couldn't be arsed and we're outclassed all over the park.

If we're being honest tho we've handed them the first goal (or Elmos handed it them) and the second their mans hand balled it to control it after it's deflected to him from a brilliant challenge. They were good but both goals on another day don't go in.

Fair play to wiolves, however second half we didn't make it too hard for them. They looked full of confidence and certainly had a cutting edge. Have to say I felt quite satisfied with the first half but yet again we came out second half and sat off played too deep and there was only going to be one team who was going to score.
Wolves deserved it and look good for an automatic spot where as we are stilll looking ok for a play off spot? going to get tough when meet some of the quality sides in the division as today showed. May go under the radar at work next week as work in the Black Ciuntry!

Hutton best villa player and Davis tried his heart out but had no help from kodija who was crap,
Whelan needs to be dumped out of squad,
No pace and offers nothing in his role,
Lydon would do a better job there,
But end of day we were simply outplayed all over the pitch,
We just need to erase this from memory and concentrate on thumping Fulham and bham c,

15 Oct 2017 08:45:45
This talk of villa having the best squad in championship is not looking that at the moment,
How many villa or wolves players could you call premiership quality?
