"Moyes almost cost us the game by selecting that starting line up. The difference when he took the Czechs off and put a centre forward on and put Paqueta back in the middle where he should have been all along was so great it was almost laughable. We have got decreasing numbers in the squad because of Moyes. Ings and Cornet, and Mubama for that matter, doesn’t matter who’s injured or out of form, they don’t get on the pitch, except for a cameo from Ings v Burnley. We’ve bombed out Kehrer, Fornals and Benrahma as well. And then we shipped in that fat northern tub of shit from Man City in midfield. I notice he never got anywhere near the pitch yesterday, so you can probably add him to the list of people in the squad who won’t get a game, and Aguerd as well. Moyes has had umpteen windows to replace Antonio. We’ve spent half a billion and we have one striker to choose from, aged 34. He always appears fixated on cunts who can’t get a game elsewhere and are coming to the end of their England careers, Lingard, Phillips and Maguire. Thank fuck the German got Kudus, Alvarez and the Bubble in or we would be well and truly fucked."

"Overall that was a good day out, we were shocking first half and it looked like the match was going the same way as our other recent visits to wolves, us looking toothless and nervey and them looking the complete opposite. Massive turnaround second half, thanks to Antonio and also Johnson who I thought was good. Just as they were about to take that corner at the end, I jokingly said at least we got a draw and 3 seconds later they scored, felt like we’d scored a 3rd when that was overturned. It’s a terrible away end for atmosphere but was pretty good yesterday. There was a bloke next to us with his young son who moaned the entire game and even refused to celebrate when we scored, on top of that he left when they scored the 2nd and wouldn’t of even know it had been chalked off, why bother going all that way and spend all that money to behave like that, felt sorry for his kid."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Think the wind was a major factor yesterday; we took advantage better so Moyes can, in all fairness, take some credit for that. However, he could have rested Bowen altogether but refuses to play Ings so we can rightly cսnt him off there. Any news on the Bowen injury?"

[wansteadman]

At the time I couldn't understand why flappy didn't come for it but he spent the few seconds wrestling with the bloke who was offside. It s exactly what Antonio does to the keeper when we get a corner

[Manuel]

"feet - She spent the whole game digging out your man Moyes, no wonder you thought she was shit, LOL."

[twoleftfeet]

"Firstly the female commentator was shit, women have no place in men’s football. Secondly, as an old manager use to say “ if he’s not interfering with play then why is he on the pitch “ Correct decision."

[Vexed]

The most shocking thing of all was that Moyes made some subs and they actually seemed to work. First time I've seen that in about two seasons.

[Fauxstralian]

"Wolves have had some harsh decisions against them this season but this wasnt one of them After a few weeks where we have had 3 goals disallowed by guesswork v Villa, 2 dodgy Newcastle pens, Sheff Utd's pen for elbowing Areola & Bowen's non penalty, Burnley defender catching the ball in the area and the Freiburg player batting a ball away with his arms over his head ..... its nice that an obvious decision was correctly given"

[fraser]

"Emerson goal could have gone either way but the ref disallowed it, so not a clear and obvious error Their penalty was a penalty I think it was inches away from being a perfect tackle but not quite there. The offside was offside by the laws of the game he was standing in front of Fab so was interfering with play. It's not the first time I've seen goals ruled out for that, I don't think I've ever seen a pundit so disgusted by it before"

[cholo]

Haha Ian Wright talking as if O'Neil's mum had just died. Fuck me. It was blatant offside if you look at the rule book. Nice we got a positive var decision for once.

[Fauxstralian]

"Had only previously seen the highlights but just watched the MOTD coverage Lineker & the cunts Dublin & Wright seem unable to understand the law that says if the offside player is in the line of the keepers vision its offside Ranting on that Fabianski should move. He has no obligation to move from the middle of the goal. Simple decision correctly given Thought Wolves pen was soft and that the 'foul' by Emerson was debatable. O'Neil impugning the referees integrity .... 6 match touchline ban & £100,000 fine"

[Manuel]

"You have to laugh at all the biased comments here about the big calls, anything that went in their favour were incorrect, and vice versa correct. FMOB."

"'The treatment of Ings and Cornet is simply a disgrace.' I agree up to a point, though both were given chances earlier in the season and were poor, though Ings wasn't supported by a second striker, so I can forgive him. I was pleased that we bought Cornet in, but fuck me, he was constantly offside and well off the pace. Also, if a player isn't Moyes choice, he wont play them. A bit like when Hayden Mullins kept Mascherano out and Tevez only got a chance when we were desperate. Ego is the downfall of man."

"The proverbial game of two halves no doubt, but overall I thought we were shit. Felt angry and devastated when they scored right at the end, as this was a must win, had zero interest in the draw, but then thankfully lady luck shown on us. Yes, we were due one to go for us, but had that gone against us I'd be fuming, simply because Fabianski was nowhere near it. Thought Cresswell on was a strange sub at one down, but to be fair to Moyes it worked out OK, backed up by Emerson putting that header in, which IMO was correctly ruled out, he may not have meant to have stamped on the defender, but in doing so clearly gave him the opportunity to nod home. The treatment of Ings and Cornet is simply a disgrace. A huge, much needed win with two very winnable games to come, had we won at Newcastle, or even got a point, we'd be looking strong for 7th now, instead it's going to go all the way no doubt. Final word to the bird commentator, thought she was good and had Moyes sust and made some good points and posed some good questions about Moyes to the co comm who was an absolute moron. Another Moyes fan boy no doubt."

"Davey. Ah I stand corrected. Silly thing is if the offside rule was just black and white no one could argue. Forget is he impeding vision and other crap that's subjective. Just have it as is he in an offside position, yes he is, discussion over. That's where they need to adjust the rule book, take the opinion out of it."

[Alfs]

"One of the big problems in today's game is that refs now see themselves as 'celebrities', and want to be noticed - the antitheses of what they're meant to be. I've a mate who's on the production staff on 'Gladiators', and Clattenburg is deeply unpopular with both crew and gladiators as (his words) , ""he walks around as if he's the star of the show, when the reality is that he's hired to count to three a few times"". The fact that refs now have agents says it all really."

[Mickey Rat]

"Spot on Arsene, strange how the media seem to be selective on the wrong decisions they pick up, usually only interested in the clubs owned by mega rich foreign owners"

[gph]

"Just wish this had been in place on the ""he's fat, he's round, he's lying on the ground"" day..."

[BRANDED]

Fucking love we got a decision go our way. Its all about winning so I'll take that after recent months.

[Iron Duke]

"I really wish I hadn’t bothered to watch MOTD. They edited out most if our chances, including the Soucek and Kudus chances. At the end, they only talked about the Wolves disallowed goal. Apparently, Fabianski should just have moved out of the way of the Wolves player who was standing directly in front of him. Ian Wright was gutted for Wolves. Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunt!"

[Vexed]

"Having just seen the highlights on MOTD, their pen was questionable, Emerson looked like he got some ball. Emersons goal probably should have stood, couldn't see the foul. Our pen was a clear pen, their last minute non goal that they're all crying about was probably called right, if you're gonna try and impede the goalkeeper then do t be offside when you do it, you dope. So overall we still probably got the worst of the big decisions. Shut up Gary O'Neill you ugly fucking rat in a man suit."

[El Scorchio]

Why is everyone making such a meal of this wolves disallowed goal? I’ve seen far worse. Numerous ones on us. Fabianski clearly can’t see the bloke heading the ball because the back of the guys head is right in his face so he’s got no chance wherever it goes. Who is to say if the guy isn’t there he advances a few steps and narrows the angle and makes a save? It really doesn’t look like a stinker of a decision compared to many others. And that was the extent of MOTD’s analysis of the game. Ridiculous.

[daveyg]

"Zico No, Bill Shankly. That's the legendary Liverpool manager to the likes of Nutsin who still at school"

[zico]

"""preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision"" That's the rule and it doesn't say anything about whether the opponent will actually get to the ball, so by the letter of the law I guess the decision was correct If it happens at the other end i'm sure he would be saying the keeper was unsighted and it was offside. Pretty sure we would be up in arms as well but that's the way the law is written, rightly or wrongly. Wasn't it Brian Clough who said if you are on the field of play you are interfering ?"
