Match Coverage (1977)
Although the match against Al Wasl ended in a victory for Al Nassr, complete with a goal from CR7, a single mistake was enough to spark a wave of criticism directed at him. Leer
City lost key cog in crucial title showdown victory
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! Rob Edwards did his best to keep his beloved side from the trap door marked Do One but, after eight seasons in the Premier League, Wolves have officially been relegated. West Ham – managed by former Wanderers manager Nuno Espírito Santo – earned a draw on Monday to finally put the Old Gold out of their misery, ending what has been a miserable season that had all the inevitability of Rúben Neves taking aim from 30 yards. Most relegations are an exercise in finger pointing and half-baked theories over what could have been but Wolves’ capitulation is remarkably easy to explain: years of systemic decline underpinned by Wanderers’ board of directors tendency to sell their best players and largely replace them with duds. I read with bemusement the suggestion that Erling Haaland’s ‘basic decency’ in Sunday’s showdown may well have saved the Gunners’ season (yesterday’s Football Daily). His refusal to ‘do an Arsenal’ and capitulate under the merest hint of pressure has been cast as an act of nobility akin to something from a Jane Austen novel. The reality is that he probably realised any such action would lead to his rightful vilification by the likes of Football Daily and various social media disgraces. As the yellow was flourished at Gabriel, I’m sure he mouthed lovingly: ‘I thought only of you.’ So selfless” – Anthony Brady. It is commendable of Haaland not to take a tumble, but as you point out, the ultimate result is that Gabriel will not now miss matches through suspension that he ought really to be missing. I think it’s worth going back a step, and considering why players started diving in the first place – it’s to make sure the referee’s attention is brought to what the diver thought was a foul. If justice was served on a regular basis anyway, the need for diving would not be there. If only there was some sort of assistance available to referees, perhaps involving cameras and monitors, maybe they’d get it right more often, and quite so many players wouldn’t feel the need to cheat. Wait, what? Oh” – Gumley Slats. Granted, your Devon Loch comparison with Arsenal is a good one (yesterday’s Football Daily), but the 1973 National with Red Rum catching and overhauling Crisp from way back after Crisp had led for a long time is, in my opinion, much more apposite. Arsenal are lolling all over the place, just as the desperately unfortunate top weight did and City are chasing them down like the multiple winners they are and Red Rum became” – Richard Askham. Fantastic to see Chelsea’s Frank Lampard’s Coventry back in the Premier League. If old Frank does a decent job of it, he could well find himself back in the hot seat as Chelsea’s Frank Lampard’s Chelsea manager” – Scott Coyne.
