Cesar with a 7/10 for guiding us to 1 point off the top.
Fosun 2/10 for not delivering on their spring time promises of "punching our way out" of the division. They've left Cesar short in my opinion.
Nearly a third of the way
through the season.
4th in the League.
Out of the Carabao Cup.
How do you review the season so far? #wwfc

Wild take!!
We beat the team in 3rd 4-1 and lost to the team in 9th 4-2. Beat the team in 5th 1-0 and lost to the team in 2nd 1-0. Drew with the team who are top 2-2.
You play 46 games for a reason 🤦🤦🤦
My personal opinion is that this puts us nicking a game and creating virtually nothing for 80 minutes Wednesday in to perspective.
We are in a false position in the league in my opinion. Hope I’m wrong.

I think we all know the answer to that.
Personally I think most ire right now should be directed at the incompetence of the owners.....the performances don't strike 'punching our way out' and that's on them!!
January window will be vital to sorting the top two, do any of us back Fosun to sign the players we need to make that difference and grab this shit league by the balls?

Let's be honest, with the form Albion are in its hilarious they didn't bother to turn up at Molineux 😂😂

Imagine thinking it's reasonable to play the same 11 at 12.30 on Saturday when they came off the pitch at 9.55 on Wednesday 😂😂

Ultimately, it won't matter who the head coach is whilst our owners continue to try and cut corners / not learn from their mistakes.
A lot of talk about Cesar Peixoto being linked to the Sporting job.
A win tomorrow and we can go second but a lot of Wolves fans would seem happy if he were to move!
What has gone wrong for him to have negatives from the terraces or can he win them around?

Henry waffling as per....🤦
This is really poor by @FA. The governing body is supposed to protect players. It should be disputing this regulatory commission verdict by members drawn from the FA judicial panel. Max Dowman could have suffered a bad injury to his standing leg from a dangerous challenge which went unpunished. Arsenal 16-year-old shouldn’t have reacted but his frustration was understandable. Some other players might have rolled around and ensured a bad challenge was punished. Dowman didn’t. He doesn’t stay down. The FA should have shown some understanding towards Dowman. Instead, it has suspended him for three games. FA priorities all wrong: tolerating a poor challenge and some weak refereeing but punishing a kid who objected to a bad challenge that could have dealt him a serious injury. Protect players. #AFC

Well I was going to go to this but don't think I'll bother at £18.50 for an early round of the trophy.
This will be another missed opportunity to get new fans through the gate. It's international weekend, make it a tenner across the board to try and attract newer fans 🤦

Fans need to accept that this will happen to players, irrespective of age. Either that or safeguarding protocols need to be reviewed to prevent players under 18 playing in the first team.
The fact that people can’t put differences to one side &1 accept this is NOT acceptable behaviour 90mins towards a 16 year old kid in sport,shows what the world is bout in this game
Sadly,he will be the next Jack Wilshere & people Won’t care as it’s “fuck arsenal” no matter what

Intrigued as to what kind of pen Dowman used for his GCSE's if the ink is still drying on his papers, well after they've been marked 😂😂. This is a load of old waffle, @henrywinter 🤦
Max Dowman: some thoughts. A little bit of understanding and support would not go amiss for a targeted teenager who wants to play the game the right way, who doesn’t roll around on the ground when struck by a bad challenge, and he gets hit by a few. Officials take note. Coaches take note. There’s a balance with young talents of toughening them up physically and mentally while protecting them. There's a balance between admonishment for a mistake and encouragement to learn.
Everyone wants to see Dowman fulfil his huge potential and develop into a major player for Arsenal and, eventually, England. Dowman is a special young talent, still only 16, still with the ink drying on his GCSE papers. He's still a kid, still learning. There have been (premature) calls for Dowman to be fast-tracked into England Under-21s, even the seniors. A month ago Thomas Tuchel and Lee Carsley conferred on Dowman and sensibly agreed his development would best be served by games with the Under-19s. “Max is always in the conversation because of his talent,” Carsley said.
That talent has seen Dowman become the Premier League’s youngest ever goalscorer, become the youngest player in the Champions League, and also get targeted. He gets a kicking, nine times in an Under-19s international against Spain last year. On returning to Arsenal, Dowman was encouraged by his manager Mikel Arteta to learn from Bukayo Saka about the art of dealing with such aggression. It was all about avoiding contact and “to learn when to release the ball”. Arteta also praised Dowman’s “football IQ” with the “super smart” way he makes decisions, praise indeed. It’s impressive in one so young.
His two red cards this month, one for England Under-19s against the USA behind closed doors in Marbella and now for Arsenal against Fleetwood Town, need placing in context. Trend or blip? Dowman, who usually has a composed temperament, suffered a number of robust challenges from the USA when he snapped and put in a strong challenge of his own. Some of those present in the game felt it was only a yellow. Dowman's not a petulant player, but his frustration spilled over at the aggression put in on him.
Similar to last night. There were some robust League Two challenges going in from Fleetwood players on the English champions' winger, testing his temperament, and after 85 minutes he reacted. The focus was on his silly kick out towards Harrison Neal, a soft red but still a red under the Laws, when the focus should also have been on Neal’s challenge which could have injured Dowman. No card was issued against Neal.
Michael Salisbury is an experienced referee, 16 years on the list, including now five years in the Premier League. Like all officials, Salisbury has a duty of care to all players to ensure they are not put at risk by bad challenges. Neal got the ball but the force and pace of his follow-through endangered Dowman, whose standing foot was momentarily trapped. Dowman, any player, deserved some protection from challenges like that.
He also deserved some compassion from Arteta. It’s one thing having strong words in passing if a senior player was trooping off, red-carded, down the tunnel. But Dowman is 16, probably still fuming with the tackle on him, and frustration at dismissal and inevitable feeling of letting the team down. Dowman didn’t need the most important person in his professional life, Arteta, to compound his misery with a frosty few words as he headed towards the tunnel. He's 16. He wasn't being petulant. He was reacting to a bad challenge.
Maybe Arteta was trying to make the point again about Dowman having to withstand such tackles, and not reacting. Arteta told reporters after the game that he had spoken pre-match to Dowman and the other players of the need for emotional control in such an intense occasion.
Fair enough, Dowman will learn. Whatever Arteta's frustration, it felt harsh and small-minded by such a successful, established manager. Officials take note too. It’s worth recalling that Arteta’s club contacted the authorities when they felt Saka was being targeted with bad challenges. Talents - all players - deserve protection. #AFC
