Right you orrible lot, here it is Blades v Wolves. I'm still away on me jolly bobs so I'll revert to a tried and tested formula this week if you don't mind
Sheffield United are only the fourth team in English top-flight history with one point or fewer in their opening 10 games of a season, along with Manchester United in 1930-31 (0), West Bromwich Albion in 1985-86 (1) and the Blades themselves in 2020-21 (1), all of whom went on to finish bottom of the table.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches (W2 D3), their best unbeaten run since June 2020 (eight in a row).
Sheffield United have conceded 29 goals in their first 10 Premier League matches this season, the most ever by a Premier League side at this stage of a campaign.
Wolves have the highest ratio of any Premier League team to have goals scored by substitutes (4/13). Sasa Kalajdzic has two of these and he has the best minutes-per-goal ratio of anyone to score in the Premier League this term - one every 26 minutes.
Sheffield United goalkeeper Wes Foderingham has conceded 29 goals in his 10 Premier League starts this season, with only Mark Travers (31) and David Watson (30) conceding more across their first 10 starts in the competition.
Wolves players have scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season (excluding own goals), with Hwang Hee-chan (6 goals, 1 assist) and Pedro Neto (1 goal, 7 assists) scoring the goal or providing the assist for all 12
Goldi's prediction: 0-2
Play nicely boys and girls.

In the next International Break, England have a home game against Malta and an away game against North Macedonia.
Hope the time has come for Max Kilman to get a call up to the squad

Not much chance I’m afraid with Southgate in charge.

Just watched a Sky Sports collection of the 4 “penalties” against us this season.
Incredible that all four were given and even more ridiculous that VAR upheld everyone.
It surely cannot be a coincidence
It seems that VAR is there to uphold referees reputations.

In Morocco today and had a good chat about Saiss and Wolves. He is very popular here.

Still living in Tettenhall. I’d assumed he was waiting for an offer from a struggling Prem club.

Julen was always gonna end up in Saudi, whether it be this job or the next, we shall see.

The premier league are voting in a couple of weeks on a policy to ban loan transfers between associated clubs ie ones with the same ownership. That’s something that would put the mockers on Neves ending up at Newcastle

Yet he's apparently turned them down saying he doesn't take clubs on midway through the season - work that one out

Have noticed that J-Lo often opens mouth before engaging brain. Seems very much to like the sound of his own voice.
Story I saw implied there was a difference of opinion between Benzema and Nuno. Sounds like the player calling the shots there. I see Neves's Al Hilal team are well clear at the top of the league, unbeaten after 12 games.
