Covid was rough on many of us....

Tonight would be a good night for wolves, nasty little club, to make inroads towards beating derby's record.
-
Likewise, except I've been consistently thinking "we are in the shit and may well go down"!
-
Wolves conceded one of the most comical goals I have seen for a long time.

There was a story bubbling at the weekend about a 29 year old footballer arrested for assault in London. TwatterX raced to convict Palace's Munoz, whom Glasner stated was absent due to a knee injury.
It seems that it was Ivan Foamey.

Blimey, I'd forgotten he existed.

CDAJFU?

Don't think we can compete with Saudi money, and he seems like a right cunt. I'll pass.
-
Head butted a selfie hunter. Allegedly. Which puts me firmly on his side on this.
-
Allegedly he took the piss and asked him for some betting tips.
-
Toney or the selfie-hunter?
-
To chants of ‘what the fucking helll was that’ from the Wolves fans.
Amazing how incredibly bad they have got over the summer.
-
They've been on the slide since Nuno left. Cunha and Ait-Nouri were just the final straws.

[Heavily edited to take out complete mindfart in initial post]
As is my wont, I have done a bit more digging into facts (sorry, this is the interwebs: FACTS) to counter-balance some of the gloom & doom in some quarters in recent days [e.g. "we are so deep in the shit..." from a fellow-poster on BM, who shall remain anonymous, via WhatsApp this weekend].
My previous stats were off the top of my head & included some Europa games. Stripping those out, last 5 league games, bottom half of form table:
Forest W3 D0 L2 F7 A6 Pts 9 GD +1
Brentford W2 D0 L3 F7 A9 Pts 6 GD -2
Fulham W2 D0 L3 F8 A11 Pts 6 GD -3
West Ham W1 D3 L1 F7 A10 Pts 6 GD -3
Liverpool W1 D2 L2 F7 A10 Pts 6 GD -2
Sunderland W1 D2 L2 F7 A10 Pts 5 GD -3
Leeds W1 D1 L3 F10 A12 Pts 4 GD -2
Bournemuff W0 D2 L3 F4 A10 Pts 2 GD -6
Burnley W0 D0 L5 F4 A11 Pts 0 GD -7
Wolves W0 D0 L5 F1 A11 Pts 0 GD -10So we're mid-table in form terms, despite a couple of iffy performances of late (the most recent one in particular). If you discount Liverpool on the grounds that even with their current enjoyable shit-show, they won't be near relegation come May, & probably - though not definitely - Sunderland ), we have made up ground on all likely relegation rivals: 3 on Brentford, Fulham & West Ham (2 points behind us now, when 5 games ago they were a point ahead)) & 5 on Leeds (level on points with us, whereas 5 games ago they had 11 points to our 6) & even Muff (12 points ahead on 3 November, 5 ahead now). Plus the bottom two, obvs; I think they're already doomed.
Recency bias & the perennial tendency of football fans to panic are well in play here.
The season is going to be a long old slog, I think - but we tossed away 13% of the league season on the Postecoglu fiasco (1 point...), so that's pretty much inevitable.
Like Tricky, I remain confident that Dyche will keep us up. I really don't give a fuck whether it is pretty or not.
And I cannot believe (actually, I can) that one of our fans has just written "Meh" about the return of Ola Aina, one of last season's best players in his position in the whole league and in an area where we lack experience & cover.

We have 10 points from last 6 games?
3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses. -
We’re just top half over last 6, according to this…
