Just read that spurs will have dart twat on the bench this weekend.  Not to play, but to bring ‘the vibes’.  Desperate stuff. 

He was on the bench last weekend.

Was he!? Well those vibes didn’t help much then either! This was the story I (albeit only half) read:

If they don’t beat Wolves they must be certs for the drop.

Surely the Dingles will be up for this, there's always motivation to bring someone down with you.

Guys, get a grip.
Yes agree. Not over confident, as that would be just a bit stupid, but we beat Forest over two legs. F*ck em and their recent form.

If they lose to wolves and west ham beat Everton, then if west ham beat Brentford and we subsequently beat spurs on the Sunday night, they’ll be 8 points from safety with 9 to play for & will effectively be gone. Saying all that, I think they probably will beat Wolves today.

Wolves might see it as 1 less space for promotion next season if Spurs drop as well, so could hand them 3 points today!

People don’t think this stuff really happens do they? Not in the premier league. Wolves players will be like any other footballers starting a game. They’ll be wanting to score goals and win. It’s unnatural to play any other way.

I’m not saying it has never happened, just that it is extremely rare.

I suspect the Wolves players' number one priority will be playing well enough to ensure they're not at Wolves next season.

I remember being confident before Olympiacos and Palace

This is actually why I am confident. Three semis under Unai. We've been relatively clear favourites for all three. We can't keep losing them. Not with this manager.

Speak for yourself but I’ve had loads more semis under Unai.

I wasn’t being completely serious but I could understand it if they were thinking it but as SE pointed out, the majority of Wolves players will be thinking or hoping that their future might lie elsewhere.

Rochdale score on 95 minutes to snatch promotion from York.

Both teams with over 100 points... and it's York that miss out.

Rochdale won their last three games by one goal and the winning goals were on 90, 90+9 and 90+5.
