Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Just seen the score, I take it the consensus is it’s another team who has ‘rolled over’ for them.

But I thought Wolves had a fantastic system, all their players were really fit and know what they’re doing and their manager is better than ours?

If an Everton team turned out what Wolves have just turned out at Anfield it’s be an absolute disgrace (as it was under Martinez).

72 points though

Wolves helping with murder inc's gd after the villa dry humping I see - standard.

Wolves will play a lot better against us

Of course you can but in that instance simply don't take a knee, then explain your reasons after. Don't boo when other people do when you know full well what their reason for doing it is. It's essentially saying "I don't like anti-racism".

For months, in the corner of the screen, on all the screen transitions, on the advertising boards, on the armbands, from all the commentators and pundits, advertised everywhere is 'BLM', as well as being expressly stated every time it happens, that kneeling is in support of the BLM organisation, a deeply controversial organisation. I think it's equally fair to assume that's why they booed as it is to assume that they simply hate black people until they're actually asked.

(for the bold bit) the fans aren't the ones taking the knee, it's the players. They don't have the opportunity to not take the knee, and they also don't have the opportunity to explain why since no one's asked them, it's just assumed.

(second bolded bit) Falling into the trap of just going by the name here. If the tori's started calling themselves the 'anti stepping on puppies party', would you suddenly start supporting them because we all know killing puppies is wrong and that's the only thing that matters about them now? And would you start denigrating anyone who didn't support them as wanting to kill dogs because of their name? Or would you correctly say, it's only a name, sure people agree with the idea that stepping on puppies is wrong, but they still have all these awful policies and we want to vocal show our opposition to them.

Nailed on that.

I think a more pertinent example would be if people started booing when everyone was clapping for the NHS don’t you think?

We’re turning up against the likes of Newcastle putting those performances in

Another team that rolls over for them

Losing to a dodgy penalty away from home when your 5 best players are out and you still dominated possession is very different to getting battered 4-0 and barely having a shot.

 

[marsh]

Wolves play Chelsea in a week or so wonder if they will roll over for them

 

[marsh]

Their league record at Anfield is ridiculous

 

[KaiserEFC]

Good teams make other teams roll over. United and more recently City were masters of this.

I'm afraid I may not be following you there. I didn't realise people were booing the NHS.

But every game the RS win you’re on here with X team has rolled over for them.Maybe the truth is they are just too good for most teams.

Someone has mentioned that Wolves will play better against us, maybe they will because they are just as good as us.
