Can someone officially confirm who played the liquidator first, us or them
Have we ever celebrated a 0-0 draw like a Champions League win? Now that was embarrasing.
The only bag i can think of that truely reflects the wolves shirt is a colostomy bag after all there both full of s**t ;D ;D ;D

From the Sky commentator 'Wolves players are on their knees. Mick Mcarthy's face is a picture'. :D
Tuamigos where do you work??
And I've seen bullys house.... Was shocked there's no "no sandwell towners" board outside
No Charlie Adam for them tomorrow. That could give the dirty dogheads a distinct advantage
I thought I heard them singing a song today, like what we had.The one they stole of Man Utd and havent even bothered ultaring the lyrics?...i see a pattern coming on with stealing songs
Mad Micks deluded.He thinks they are going to stay up
Play like they did yesterday for the rest of the season and they will. Difficult proposition at home they are. They are busy, aggressive and dont give teams a minute. If Mick applied the same philosophy away from home and wasnt so cagey they would be pretty much safe by now.
Those are decent fixtures IMO. Would definately swap those for ours.
Villa (A)
Newcastle (A)
Everton (H)
Stoke (A)
Fulham (H)
Blues (A)
Albion (H)
Sunderland (A)
Blackburn (H)
Those are decent fixtures IMO. Would definately swap those for ours.
Just as difficult as ours for different reasons.Most of those teams fighting to survive.
I prefer ours
Arsenal (H) - fighting for the title
Liverpool (H) - fighting to qualify for UEFA Cup
Sunderland (A) - cracking home record and could still qualify for Europe
Chelsea (H) - Will want to finish in the top 3 or 4
Tottenham (A) - As Cheslea
Villa (H) - local derby and could be fighting relegation plus havent beaten them since Noahs ark.
Wolves (A) - Good at home, derby - could go either way.
Everton (H) - lords knows what Everton team will turn up.
Newcastle (A) - Wouldnt like to go into this one know we have to win to survive.
I know which fixtures I'd prefer but each to their own.
Matt Jarvis been called up to the england squadThomas should be then.
I still can't help really liking Mick - thinks like a fan, talks like a fan and demands of his players what a fan paying his money would.
Thomas should be then.
Not really, Jarvis is a better player than Thomas. He'l be off if they go down.Disagree chap, very similiar I think. No Matty Everthington?
Fifa's guidelines do not require them to do so. The clubs have to take out insurance to protect their players if they want to
Read today that Jermaine Aliadiere could be going to Wolves as cover for Kevin Doyle.
Is it even possible for him to be eligible for them, I'm assuming their 25 man squad is already full.
Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has said that anyone who comes knocking on his door to try and sign winger Matt Jarvis will get a custard pie in the face.
Quite ironic really as they 'play' in a custard bowl!
Must win game at home to Fulham next week.
Is Jody Craddock fully fit, I saw him on the bench on Saturday. I think that he is there best defender.That has made me laugh yet i dont know why????................ ;D
Had an interesting discussion with a couple of Wolves fans on Friday evening.
Suprisingly the came to the conclusion that on paper they are 'miles ahead of us' and named Hennessy, Berra, Foley, Henry, Jarvis, O'Hara, Doyle, Ebanks Blake and Fletcher as those who were 'too good for the Albion'
They'll never learn.

Hilarious that it. Whats the punchline?
The only ones that are close are Doyle, Jarvis and O'Hara but would you swap them for Odemwingie, Thomas/Brunt or Dorrans/Morrison? Absolutely not IMO.
If Wolves do go down , they will struggle for the Play Offs in my opinion, Jarvis , Doyle, Hennesey and O'Hara would all go and that would leave a huge hole in there team, but i think they might just scrape it and stay up they have 2 winnable games in Fulham and Blackburn but there defense is poo and Doyle is out,. That Blackburn game is going to be huge for Wolves.

That Blackburn game is going to be huge for Wolves.
The most concerning consequence of the two heavy defeats just inflicted on Wolves was the inevitability of capitulation after the concession of the first goal in both games.
At Newcastle and again against Everton on Saturday, as soon as we went behind a landslide at our end looked likely with little retaliation from us as an attacking force.
It is of course, a recipe for disaster and Wolves have chosen the most alarming imaginable time to revert to the hesitancy and individual errors that bedevilled us earlier in the campaign.
Wolves no doubt had a four point target in mind prior to the two games but, in reality, they never gave themselves a ghost of a chance in either match.
The comical mix-up between Jamie O’Hara and George Elokobi to set up Everton’s third goal summed up the glaring lack of cohesion in our ranks.
Everton had appeared only marginally committed early on but by upping their tempo just a notch or two, they immediately discerned that easy pickings were very much on offer.
At the first hint of resistance, we were left floundering unable to win any high ball launched into our danger area as Richard Stearman and Christophe Berra were both twisted and turned out of position.
The chaos unravelled alarmingly quickly, confidence drained rapidly and our game plan fell to pieces.
Depressingly, an under-strength Everton despite a couple of outstanding long range finishes were not remotely tested and needed to show little in the way of top quality to prevail.
Sylvan Distin was a rock of dependency in the Everton penalty box, his partnership with Phil Jagielka was in stark contrast to the haphazard vulnerability causing mayhem in the Wolves’ defensive system.
The towering command of the Toffees’ pair emphasised that the Wolves’ back four is at best, still a developing work in progress.
This is not to suggest that both Richard Stearman and Christophe Berra have not performed heroically at times this season. On occasions, both have been absolutely outstanding in seeing off the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs.
But defensive instability occurs when the entire team malfunctions as a unit.
Both of our full-backs have struggled to close down vital space for our opponents in the last couple of games and, with our midfield second best, pressure has been heaped in our direction.
Our backline is not a physically intimidating unit, the likes of Distin and other powerhouse Premier League defenders can dominate smaller forwards and, without the guile and craft of the subtle Kevin Doyle up front, our entire game plan is diminished.
His unique ability to absorb and relieve pressure is priceless to Wolves and his absence up front means less possession and increased vulnerability.
One of the wisest decisions manager Mick McCarthy made at the start of his time at Molineux was to recruit Gary Breen to lead our back four.
Wolves were strapped for cash and bodies at the time with mere survival in Championship football appearing to be the limit of the club’s ambition.
Breen was already well past his considerable best, alarmingly short of pace and susceptible to being hopelessly stranded when turned by quicker forward players.
But his signing was a masterstroke. For starters, Breen was a magnificent competitor with a lot to say for himself and his abrupt communication skills were frequently directed at fellow defenders to remind them of exactly what was expected.
Breen had terrific positional sense which saw him assert his strengths before his weaknesses could be exploited.
He didn’t take kindly to being second-bested physically either and, when necessary, he pushed the laws of the game to the limit and rough-housed any opposition player who got in his way.
When liberties were taken, he had no taste for turning the other cheek. He was strong in the air and his anticipation for sniffing out trouble was uncanny but above all he was a leader, an outstanding organizer of a defensive unit and if needs dictated a bit of a bully as well.
In the short term, at least, it worked a treat – how Wolves could use a similar type of character right now.
For much of last season, Jody Craddock brilliantly fulfilled the role. Though not as demonstrative as Breen, Craddock led by inspired example and his absence this time around has been sorely missed.
Whether a veteran like him could have repeated such an amazing degree of consistency is debatable, but certainly not being able to call upon his calming influence for at least part of time has undoubtedly been a handicap.
With our position becoming increasingly desperate, McCarthy may be left with little alternative but to ask Craddock to front up once more.
We have to defend our goal demonically for these last half a dozen games, any repeat of the charitable disposition shown to both Newcastle and Everton will guarantee relegation.

Is anyone of here Mr.Boing? They get so wound up by him, yet all his posts seem very fair to me.I thought that too, well played Mr Boing
Tell me about it. Iv still got all the coins I saved that was pelted at me at the end of the away game. I was brought up not to steal so it's only right I give them all back on may 8th.
Just drove past their place, big signs all over it advertising a "Demolition Sale - Everything Must Go".
How much is Doyle and Jarvis?
I've never really understood the wit, and I've never had anybody call me that (granted, I'm from London).
Stearman - Berra - Craddock - Ward
Oh dear oh dear.
Lower Championship defence that is. I hope we have Odemwingie and Vela up against those in a couple of weeks.
Stearman - Berra - Craddock - Ward
Oh dear oh dear.
I really hope they go down but the fixture list has been very kind to them.Have you not been taking notice of unexpected results this season?
Stoke, Blues, Albion, Sunderland and Blackburn are fixtures they can take points from.
If they dont stay up with those fixtures they only have themselves to blame.
Wolves have had three winable games only taken one point from them, I know they still have winable games left but it will be very hard for Wolves to stay up now.

Listening to Mick's post match interview and to be honest I felt quite sorry for him. Even though he manages the Dingles, I like him as a bloke but he sounded 110% like a beaten man.
Them going out of business would be an ultimate lifetime experience which would never be beaten, those buggers would be forced into admitting that our club is far superior.
I can understand your point in wanting them to stay up and it would be good for midlands football. From my point of view, I want us number one in the Black Country. That means them always in the league under us.
No way, i hope the scumbags go down and never come back.Here here. I've no sympathy for 12 fingered neanderthols. Hope they rot in the Football League.

and turn the ground ito a car parkI can just imagine a nice big TESCO'S opening where their ground once sat haha!!
Did anyone just hear the tatter waffling on Talksport.He thinks his beloved team will get points out of Blues and Albion :D Did he not watch their pathetic display lastnight
He always says they'll beat us. Always has. Suppose its because he has to endear himself to the fans. Half of them want to sack Mick and bring in Bull. Now that would be hilarious.That would be the funniest thing thats ever happenend to Wolves.
For abusing Etherington as he was stretchered off I hope you and the blues ensure the 6 fingered inbreds finish dead last. They were by far the worst team at the Brit this season. Awful.
They have a habit on picking on the vulnerable and people who can't give it out back. Much like the old fella on the train on the way to the derby, the Notts County incident earlier in the season and picking on a player that has been injured and taken off on a stretcher. Nothing surprises me about their pondlife fans.
Mind you I'm sure any other person would be peeed off if they got cuts and grazes on their knuckles everytime they had to walk on a pavement and the only sex they could get is off their sister.
Apparantly a bloke named Joseph Fritzl has links to Wolverhampton and is a keen Wolves fan! :P
Staring on the Molineux Mix. A thread titled the Albion fans.Ive just tried joining to wind them up for a week, just waiting for mail to come through with confirmation link haha

This made me pee my pants!
They're really going to have to churn out some wonder performance next sunday in my opinion. A team with ten men looked more or less comfortable, I know it happened to us yesterday but at least the Villa gave us something to think abouts. Whats more, which comes as no suprise their fans are now questioning Mick even more because of their new tactics which seems them not giving Matt Jarvis the ball!
Their safety is in their own hands but I really hope we turn up and perform like we can, putting a nail in there coffin would be such a proud moment.
"They'll always live in the shadow of Wolves no matter what league we are in.
Massive club Wolves are.
West Brom are a glorified Walsall just like those scummers from Small Heath.
There's only two big teams in the midlands!
Cheers for Bully, you 6 fingered, sister smashing $$$$ers!

Hilarious comment from a dingle on the mix...
First 4 lines really have to be a full on wind-up. Two big teams? Christ on a bike.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Evening all. Long time no speak. I'm dreading Sunday. Up until four or five games ago thought we might be safe by Sunday and the derby could just be a derby. But no. We're playing without confidence with players out of position and seemingly unable to raise our game to take advantage of numerous opportunities presented to us. I can't see us winning this vitally important and highly pressurised game.
I reckon you might just scrape out of it, but if you are you will more than likely need to take something from us, something which at the moment looks rather bleak. Saw you the last two games and you've being woeful, especially defensively.I know.
I know. Shocking at the moment.
Come on Sunderland
I still want the Wolves to go down.I love seeing big men shed tears.A lot of the Sunderland players are out injured, so if they do give some certain players a rest they will be playing a team full of kids.
Just looked on the Sunderland web site.It would appear most of their fans are happy to give certain players a rest :o
Come on Sunderland:D Is that the best you can muster?
With Blackpool winning today and if Wigan win tommorow, Blackburn might need to get a result at Wolves. It is so tight at the bottom.
I think Wolves are all but safe now. Above Blues and Blackpool on 40 points and with a game against Blackburn to come up.
Our game saved them and they now have a third season of premier league football to look forward to (nearly established). Putting the region on the map having so many sides there which is a positive but I would have proffered them to go down just to allow us to build easier.
If Wigan win against W.Ham, it's all back in the melting pot . Blackburn and Wolves will not be able to afford a draw. Wigan play Stoke last match!!

Great win for Wolves today they now look safe well done to them as a couple of weeks ago they looked like going down.
I think they should sack Mick and get Avram Grant in for next season :-X
It would appear we might have saved themBUT......if they do go down, then we can say Carlos Vela's goal at our place sent them down as it cost them 2 points!! ;D
What is most confusing about that picture is why is that kid wearing last season's kit with a sponsor that ran out two years ago?
LOL!What's a Magastore?

Wolves fan on the phone in just came on saying "McCarthy needs to go" - He's just kept them up for a second season. Are these totally thick or am I dreaming this? They are unbelieveable.

Fair play to them albeit very lucky. But i knew they'd stay up after they beat us. Just roll on the next BCDYeah the only positive about these inbreds staying up is that we'll have a chance to get them back next season.
Anyone who thinks he should stay is totally thick. They need to change it now, but luckily for us he'l still there nexts season.
I say we sack Roy Hodgson.
McCarthy has kept an average group of players up TWICE. He's done a sterling job there, he has his teams playing with plenty of effort and they have unfortunately been rewarded with their survival.

LOL, it's him who has built the team. The team he has now is mostly the team he had in the championship. The signings he has made since have been awful. I like McCarthy, he's honest, hard working manager. If wolves want to progress though, they need to make a brave decision now, and replace him.
An average group of players that took 4 points playing your World beaters ::)
Look forward to another season of BCDs and a bit of banter. Well done for this season, you deserve it.

Anyone else find the pitch invasion at the end of todays game (Blackburn) rather embarrassing? Makes them look very small time.
no, i disagree.
they managed to stay up when it looked at times like they were certainly going down. fair play to them.
I said exactly the same thing this morning but for some reason my message was deleted .No problem what so ever with them celebrating on the pitch.We did the same for the great escape game.

I suppose you found the pitch invasion after we beat Portsmouth embarrassing as well?
No. Because when we did it, every inch of grass was covered in swarms of people whereas their one was a little small time. Dont get me wrong they had every reason to do it they just didnt make it very good imo

What are Wolves actually getting done to Molineux this summer?
I saw on SSN earlier all the seats were getting ripped out one of the stands...
I look forward to another two BCD's next season.
Hopefully we will be competitive.

you can actually watch them knock the s**t hole down ;D
Can anyone see the Wolves filling a 40000 Custard Bowl
It'll be 36k to start with but then they'll decide whether to knock down the Billy Wright.
Not sure to be honest. Dont think theres a waiting list but I can see them filling 36k on occasions. Whatever we say about them they have a big fan base.
They got 90,000 in the old fourth division and had to hire out the Nou Camp for the cup game against Chorley.
To many zeros there my friend.Dare i say it but i was there for a game during their darkest days and they only got 3000.We would never stoop that low would we
I can understand that, agreed. Maybe I misunderstood the post. If it was in relation as to the amount of people on the pitch I can understand, however if it is addressed to the fact they invaded the pitch I have to disagree. I can only imagine the tension and then the elation that the dingles would have experienced yesterday. I know how I would have celebrated.
The safety fences are in a lovely shade of blue and white.

We have our own fair share of keyboard warriors, but rarely do i see any big anti wolves groups? All i see on the 'black country banter page' is anger from both sets of fans; it ain't banter. Its composed of wolves fans talking about the 3-1 victory and 2nd season syndrome, and us fans talking about a higher league position than them. Same old really. Take a look at the 'can these carrots get more fans than west brom' group. Got some 50,000 fans apparently. Mustnt be that well liked :p

Apparently O'Hara is now going to QPR? Huge loss for the W***** if true
Right, I have to get this off my chest 'because it's driving me nuts.You have had a serious traumatic experience that will have done untold damage to your subconcious mind. Maybe a few visits to a hypnotherapist could go some way to partially removing the experience from your memory. In truth...I fear nothing short of an exorcism will suffice. You´re top of my prayer list.
A few years ago, my step-dad took my mother, me & our kid out for a Mother's Day lunch. Now, they live in Wolverhampton (not our kid - he's a bluenose), and we found ourselves at the Asda car park, where we all got out, my step-dad said something like "we've got to get some flowers" or something, then started walking towards where all the custard is gathered. To my complete & utter dismay, they were going in! I was not happy, so I complained a bit, until it finally dawned on me that we were actually going to have our Mother's Day meal in the M*lineaux. I couldn't believe it -they know I'm Albion through & through - how could they do this to me? They had the most evil grins on their faces!
So I had to sit through (if I'm honest) a really good meal (even though it felt like you were having custard with your steak), but I kept getting looks from all the dogheads in there, like they know that your Albion or something. I kid you not, it was bloody disturbing, I can tell you.
£5m on a player that they all wanted dropped!?
Seems a bit steep to me, he is capable of being a great player but apart from the two games against us he also seems capable of being invisible for prolonged periods. We'll wait and see ::)
Had a 6m bid rejected from Blues for Johnson.
£4m for Matt Mills my Dingle mate reckons, could be a good signing that if true.
I have no idea where my mate got his info from so may not even be true but I don't see £4m for him as being that high a risk in all honesty. From what I have seen of Mills he is the best central defender in that league and only 24, he could be like Roger Johnson at Birmingham and be worth much more in a couple of years.Yet when we sign someone from the championship for free, its lack of ambition and Peace out etc etc >:(

Just heard they are after Gardener
Craig Gardner from Blues or that one which was at Bolton?
Assuming it's Bolton, considering Blues have just turned down an 8m offer from West Ham.
Can't see West Ham bidding 8 million for him in the championship.It wouldn´t come as a surprise to me.
signed o'hara yesterday for 5m.According to my Dingle mates, now they've signed O'hara they are destined for Europe ???
also set to sign dorus de vries from swansea today

Great.
Wolves have signed De Vries from Swansea.
That's a surprise, wouldn't think Swansea would sell their number one. Quite a decent keeper aswell is De Vries from what I've saw. How much is the fee do you know?
o'hara is on 34k a week over 5 years. ;DWhy is that funny? We are about to start our 3rd season in the PL, 34k (if true) for a player of JOH ability is quite reasonable in my opinion.
Seems like the going rate for a player like him these days even though I do believe he is overrated by many.
Vastly overrated.I read a few of their message boards during March and April when he was going through a sticky patch.Its funny all of a sudden hes become a world beater or a candidate for european football
o'hara is on 34k a week over 5 years. ;D
Jody Craddock has signed a new one year deal at Wolves, I still think they need a better centre half.

I know they need a better centre half!
Still think they will end up with someone like Matt Mills or even Roger Johnson by the end of the summer - read somewhere that they have a big transfer pot this year :(
I would have thought it would be less, given the fact they are building a new stand which surely has taken a huge chunk out of their finances
Wouldn't surprise me if Steve Morgan the Wolves chairman founds ways to do that the least expensive way with him being in the property business.Oh yes please...I love Lego!!!!! ;D
Oh yes please...I love Lego!!!!! ;D
I really hope they dont sign either Johnson, he is a very good centre half.

Wolves have announced massive new multi million pound plans to revamp their Compton training ground, which includes moving a school.
The whole project is expected to cost £50 million, with St Edmunds School next door being knocked down and rebuilt further down the road.
There’ll also be more than fifty new houses built there and the club reckons it’ll create 400 new jobs.
In a statement Wolves say it’ll spread education, sport and community benefits throughout the city: “The carefully co-ordinated plans have been prompted by the decision of the University of Wolverhampton to vacate its Compton Park Campus.”
“This has led to a unique collaboration between some of the main partners on Compton Park.”
St Edmund’s Catholic School relocating onto the former University of Wolverhampton campus, in part refurbished, part-new buildings.
Wolves building a new indoor pitch on the vacated school site, improving existing pitches and creating an FA Premier League “Category 1? Football Academy.
The University of Wolverhampton re-investing in a new multi-million pound proposed Science facility on its City Centre campus.
Wolves donating its £1 million Indoor Academy Arena at Aldersley Leisure Village to Wolves Community Trust.
55 new four and five bed executive homes to be built by Redrow Homes on the remainder of the University’s land, providing a large part of the enabling funding necessary to make the proposals happen.
The club is already spending 16 million rebuilding the North Bank at the Molineux, which itself is part of even bigger plans to eventually re-develop the whole stadium.

meh....
Lets hope the housing Market goes busti hope so! too much gloating on the facebook groups, saying things like 'the futures bright for wolves, leaving sandwell town behind'. Roger Johnson was a good signing tbf, but didnt come cheaply. If we can get a couple of players on a transfer fee i will be happy. Gera returning to the mighty albion for a free would be step one. Can't let them finish above us, the banter would be too much!
I would imagine they are all a little jolly at the custard bowl but i am still convinced we will have the last laugh
They keep saying on the WBA V WOLVES facebook page that were jelous of them signing Johnson, bunch of wollys they could sign Messi and we would still finish above due to them having Mick Mcarthy as manager, no doubt some of there fans probaly looked at this forrum when they were talking to Johnson just to see our reactions rather than talking about him on there own forrum.too right, was the same when they narrowly avoided relegation, they were gloating to us that day more than celebrating survival lol. just because we havent got a 50 million development scheme that'll turn us into world beaters(or so wba v wolves seems), doesnt mean we lack any ambition. a couple of proven players to the side will see us all happy, oh, and 6 points from them next season :D
Thought they already had academy status and were in fact many years ahead of us.
As much as it pains me to say it, I think the W*lves will have a good season this time and finish anywhere from 15th to 10th.
On paper, their current squad seems too good to go down.
Basically, this time last season they had the exact same squad but without O'Hara and Johnson. Money talks and with that they will already be better in defence and more creative. 2 players that give them 2 strengths which they needed to improve on big time last season :(
I know i am biased but i still think we have better players
Heard a few rumours that Hitzelsperger was there today to discuss a potential deal.
Thomas Hitzlsperger is still available on a bosman - Villa and Stoke have been linked. I think he wants to stay in England and I think he would really improve the team. I know we all well stocked in the midfield department, but I would be disappointed if we haven't at least registered an interest.
Heard a few rumours that Hitzelsperger was there today to discuss a potential deal.
Don't think he's the kind of midfielder we are in for this summer, as I say its only a rumour I've heard so may not be true.
Been revealed that Wolves only paid 4 million and 3.5million for Johnson and O'Hara. Excellent excellent busineness, would have like us to have been in for both players at them prices, particularly Johnson.All hail super Jez. 8)

Is the general consensus Moxey in at the moment then? Was Moxey out a couple of months ago :)Not from me. I have always supoported Jez Moxey. Along side Morgan he is running a very tight ship at Wolves and we are a better club for it.
Just had a look at the live cam....when do they start demolition? ;)
Johnson is a big time charlie, no stomach for a fight and will be lost without Dan and ridgewell
Johnson seems to me to be just a typical McCarthy signing, decent in the air but pee poor on the floor. Was no coincidence that Birmingham were based around keeping clean sheets last season and kept very little once Johnson left.
I hear you.
If only we had beaten you to the super signings of Jones and McAuley instead of a proven PL defender. ::)

I remember you lot giving it the big 'un last summer, remind me how far behind us you finished again?
Even in the 90's when the golden tit was bankrolling your "superstars" and we didn't have a pot to p*ss in we still had the last laugh.
Carry on talking the talk, we'll see who walks the walk.
Thanks for the 4 points that kept us up, see you later in the year for another 3. ;)

Surprised you still haven't released the dvd of your spectacular win yet, missed out there.*high five* ;D
Those 4 points we gifted you will never be as satisfying as the 11 we crawled back a few years ago when you bottled it at the end of the season. I can picture the banner now ' YOU'VE LET US DOWN AGAIN' ;) and then theres the FA Cup game, the play offs etc etc. I'll give you the Jay Bothroyd 1-0 (where you did release the dvd) but modern day thats about it.

You were saying....
Don't really understand why everybody is making a big deal out of them releasing a dvd beating us. Clubs release tons of dvd's of games nowadays. We released one of every game, even the 3-1 defeat against them so don't really think were in a position to be ridiculing them.

There you go !!
We release one of every game not just our cup final.

True but nowadays teams bring out dvds for any old game. It's not just Wolves, it's every club.

Seems like they'bve stooped to new lows.
How thick are these Dingles considering half their squad is Irish and so is their manager.
Unlikely to be signing anyone else according to Mick.... Excellent news :D
Thats them doomed then

Says a poster on a forum which has 23 pages of a thread dedicated to us?
In the last 10-15 years I don’t think there has really been that much between us and anything that has, has gone on to be evened out. Yes we blew the 11 points, but the two sides were replaced the following season. Yes you did us in the play-offs (god, let’s look back at that Wolves side though...) but was replaced again 12 months on. All this last laugh rubbish stinks of grabbing at straws.
I do however think in terms of history, fan base, tradition/players associated and financial clout etc we do have the edge, my opinion and I guess for that it is biased but there you go.
Currently in terms of the two sides on a whole as we speak there really isn’t a lot in it and I’m just glad, for the Black Country, that we are both in the top tier.

I would be willing to bet that there is as much talk about us on any Wolves forum than there is about you lot on here. Especially Molinuex Mix where it seems almost every other thread is about us and shows twice as much bile and vitriol as you would ever get on here.
I don't think the whole last laugh thing is rubbish either. Both of your promotions came about when we weren't there to stop you. There was the Jay Bothroyd derby which was a good win for you but the play offs came quite soon after that and was a solitary win in a season when we faced each other five times. Yes you were better than us in the 90s but you were big spending chokers and there was many an occasion where we would go up and beat you with a poorly assembled team of journeymen.
Infact I would go as far as to say you're only major success against us in recent times was the 3-1 in May. Even then it's a bit of a stretch as we ended up having a far better season as a whole and have significantly raised the profile of our club. Whereas you finished 17th.
They obviously read what's on here !!!!!

I think that the Wolves fans, must think that we played as badly as we did when we lost to them more times than what we actully did.
Pardon?Basically, what SPE77 is saying is that what wolves fans saw at the molineux is what they believe our average performance is like.
played them off the park in the second half just wasteful with chances!
gave them 3 goals also doesnt help your cause!
The custard Bowl was deadly silent in the second half and we were 3-1 down
Rubbish, don't flatter yourselves mate.
The 'gave' you 3 goals is also tosh. The first 2 goals we exposed your weakness, isn't that football? The 3rd goal was assisted by a complete mong yes, but did he actually place the ball in the net? No.
Yes, you had a 15/20min spell just after we scored the 3rd goal in which you could of added another, and maybe the atmosphere amongst us was more to do with the anxiety of it the importance of the 3 points. In the last 10mins we had chances of our own anyway to extend the lead further.
And as for deadly silent, go to mid feb when the hawthorns sat there muted for 88 mins.

on channel 5 now you can watch them knock down the stand at the custard bowl.So much for the quality of UK tv diminishing.
I refused to believe that the "top 10" story was real, but lo and behold, here it is...
http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2011/08/06/mick-mccarthy-wolves-can-hit-the-top-10/
I always knew Mad Mick had a sense of humour!
The dingles will win the premiership then go on to win the Champions league and Messi will be transferred there the season after next
They had O'Hara last season (who did nothing other than score one goal in their cup final) and have replaced their reserve keeper with a new one from Swansea, so on that basis they believe the signing of Roger Johnson is enough to lift them from being one of the worst teams in the league to pushing for Europe? :-\
Clowns. Absolute clowns.
O'Hara came in having not played for 6 months + and not being fully fit after a back injury, his form at times was patchy as a result of this but no one can deny, even you lot that on occasions he showed flashes of brilliance and a full pre-season down him should pay dividends. Likewise with Doyle and Hunt.
Last season we had terrible luck with injuries. All of Doyle, Hunt, Henry, Fletcher, Zubar and Guedioura all spent long parts of the season out to name a few, let alone some of the niggling ones. Fletcher who practically kept us up alone started no more than 15 games. Hunt whose goal saved us never managed to nail down regular starts due to his own injury problems. Add all this to the signing of Johnson (probably not good enough for you lot granted.... ::)), the one beaming weak link and it sets us up nicely. Bearing all this in mind we are set to go allot stronger than we finished.
The 10th spot is very wishful thinking I agree, and would be happy to just survive for the 3rd consecutive year but what is wrong with abit of ambition and wanting to higher ourselves? But I have to say the way some of you lot dismiss us is really funny. Having read this thread the majority of you clearly think you are superior and only a very small minority of our players would make your bench :o
That's a bad thing?
In fact I seem to remember your form was considerably better without him.
That is infact a very good point, in terms of the form but in which ever way you look at it he was the clubs captain.

The league table doesn't lie, 11th > 17th, therefore we are superior.
I'd take Fletcher or Doyle in a heartbeat. As midfield is our strongest area I'd take Jarvis but that's it. I'd possibly take Foley and Elokobi as back up and I certainly wouldn't take Hennessey over Ben Foster.
Sorry if you're suffering from green envy but I would suggest if you polled every fan in the country, at least 70% (and that's being conservative) would say Albion are a better team than W*lves, with a better manager.

"Yeah but Wolves are a bigger club with a bigger fanbase and we spend more money and we invented European football in the 50s and we invented floodlights and oh yeah Steve Bull played for England. Am I obsessed? I'm not obsessed am I? Albion fans am just jealous of our bigger fanbase and all our money and our better history. When was the last time Albion won the Sherpa Van Trophy?"
Jarvis is not better than Thomas or Brunt in my opinion.
Ultimate in denial. Fletcher and Jarvis would get on our bench. That's it.Superb, seriously - superb ;D
I agree re Doyle/Fletcher and Foley but Elokobi is just a big lump who cannot play football. Jarvis is not better than Thomas or Brunt in my opinion.
Would certainly like Johnson though.
You finished 7 points ahead of us; you were two wins and a draw better than us. Balance that out with the 4 points we took off you, and I hardly think that equals in you being superior to us. I think it suggests you were more consistent and reaped the rewards of having better management than us.
Trying to be unbiased I would say if you made a combined team it would look something like:
------------------------------Foster---------------------------------
-Foley/Reid----Johnson-----------Olsson------------Shorey--
-Brunt------------O'Hara-----------Mulumbu---------Jarvis----
------------------Odemwingie-----Doyle--------------------------
Fairly even, good team actually.
No matter what spin you put on it, the bits in bold above clearly mean, on some level, you have accepted we are better than you. Hopefully one day you can find the courage to come out of denial and admit it. :-*

If i had to answer honestly, right now there isnt too much between us in terms of size of club as we are both still looking to survive, i simply believe we on the whole have better players, a better manager and have better potential as a club
My argument is of the 'superior' statements. As i have already said, last season you were better and more consistent. On the whole I don’t believe you have better players, i think as posted with the two sides into one it is fairly balanced. You certainly have a better manager, but in terms of potential I completely disagree. We have a bigger fan base and a chairman willing to spend money on and off the pitch, as already proved.You have a richer chairman yes
I am not in denial, or trying to put any kind of spin on it. You were the better out of the two sides last year, no complaints or arguments, but to come out with things like superior is way OTT. I don’t believe there is a great deal between the sides placed 10-17th in general, last season and in many of the past seasons and at various times of the season all look at some point doomed.

Lol, and im being talked of being in denial ::)your ground is bigger than ours hence bigger crowds! Nothing to do with fan base to me there is nothing in it, prove otherwise!
In whichever way you look at it we do have a bigger fan base. I’m not saying it is comparable of Manchester United and Stockport County as is such the deluded comparisons you lot like to make, but it is bigger. It also says something when we would better your gates when we were in the champ and you were in the prem.

And that has what to do with it?! My house is bigger than the local pub down the road but it doesnt mean i get more people in it.How are we supposed to fit 30000 fans into 25000 seats then genius?? You do the maths as to how relevant it is.

I'm a Wolves fan and I come here in peace with no intention of causing trouble.
Reading through the posts I have to say it is hilarious, the constant bickering... it's like your all back in school "My dad could beat your dad up!" Baggies fans, I understand you think your sqaud is better than our's and fair enough you would think that because:
1. You did finish higher than us last season
2. YOU SUPPORT ALBION! Of course you wouldn't say ours is better.
It can get really boring just constantly hearing "We finished higher than you, we're better than you... blah blah, that could go on for months (in fact it has in this thread) because you will always think that and we can't change that but please, at least take in the opinions from 'Steven Fletcher', everything he says you dismiss and I have to be honest it seems like your in dreamland.
You think you'll do even better next year while we struggle? Tell me, why will you do better than last season? You've improved your squad? (Apart from Foster... you haven't) Your defence was the 2nd worst in the league and you haven't addressed that area of the sqaud with any insipring signings.... You wouldn't rather have Johnson over that lad from Preston? C'mon, be realistic... I'm not moaning just saying "open your eyes". You'll suffer from 2nd season syndrome, teams know your style of play now, they know how to play against you and know your threats a lot easier (Odemwingge, Brunt etc).
Look at the teams that have struggled in their 2nd season in the last few years:
Birmingham
Hull
West Ham
Reading
Wigan
Wolves
Why will you be any different? I'm not saying you'll go down because not all of them teams have and yes... Stoke are an exception, they pushed on but I want to know what the difference is now going into this season?
Thomas vs Jarvis?... Jarvis.
Brunt vs Henry?... Brunt.
Odemwingge vs Fletcher?... It's close.
What I'm trying to say there is... it's close, the difference in quality isn't all that much IMO but as it has been on this thread, I'll wait to be shot down by your fans.
The fanbase? Ours is bigger, whichever way you look at it, it is... the excuse of the cachment is just amusing to read.
Finances? Us, a lot more stable, more money to spend (players, stadium etc)
Players? (as already discussed).... Fairly equal
Manager?... Yours.
Your fans seem to be obsessed with ours (don't deny that, this thread is perfect example) as we may be with you but I suppose that's rivalry for you!
Sssh for now though, you had a better season last year but where were you when we were there the year before? Exactly, this could be argued to and fro so give it a break.
We're not jealous of your club, why would we be? (Oh, because of last season?... of course aha) and your not jealous of ours... Settled!
So once again "ssssshhh" with the pathetic childish comments and lets do the talking once the season begins because that's all that's relevant. :-*
Ta-ra for now.
dem
And I'm sorry but Fletcher, who had a very patchy season, with a good goalscoring record is just not on Odemwingie's level last season. I don't even see how you can argue he was, just because he had a good end to the season. Odemwingie provided one of the highest amounts of assists in the league, and was brilliant virtually all season.
Fletcher is on a par with Odemwingie??!? And we're the ones living in dreamland. You might as well have not posted mate as you've completely discredited you're entire essay with that comment.
15 PL goals in his debut season, 2 Barclays PL player of the months and African PL footballer of the year. He's plied his trade at some of Europe's top clubs and has featured at World Cups for his country. Then there's Steven Fletcher who can can't even get in the Scotland team. Heck, he can barely get in your team when Kevin 'I'll run the channels all day but put me in front of goal and I'll have a nose bleed' Doyle is fit.
Fletchers simply not in Odemwingies league. What's even more galling for you lot is that you paid £7.5m for Fletcher whilst we picked up Odemwingie for £2m. Quite laughable really considering the difference in quality between the two.

£7million actually and you've just picked up Shane Long for £6-7million, that isn't galling? =/£4.5m for Long if you are capable of reading the reports, the DEAL itself is £6.5m if certain targets are met, hope that clears things up!
I'd just like to correct you on a couple of points if I may. First of all, Fletcher was far, far more effective than Odemwingie last season. He had the third highest goals per minutes on the pitch ratio in the Premier League behind only Chicharito and Robin Van Persie, so you've embarrassed yourself there. Second, Fletcher was called up for Scotland, but declared himself unavailable for the squad.
Hope that's cleared things up

Hope that's cleared things up
Odemwingie was fit for a lot more of the season than Fletcher was, look at the number of games they both played. If Fletcher plays roughly the same amount of games next season then he'll score more.From a personal point of view I dont think we will have an amazing season and the target is still 17th, but why should we be all doom and gloom after finishing 11th?? You cant possibly say Odemwingie is a one season wonder when he has only had one season anyway!!!
You Baggies fans think your going to have an amazing season because you came 11th last year? You had the 2nd worst defence in the league remember and you haven't improved it really. I'm not saying we're going to do amazing because I don't think we will but I don't think yourselves should be so confident... Reading and Birmingham are perfect examples of how the second season proves a lot more challenging.
Odemwinge was a one season wonder IMO... and my I repeat, IMO!
Doyle injured? That's alright, we have Fletch.

A lot of irrelevant points up there. I'm not interested in Earnshaw or Doyle, I was responding specifically to the comparison between Fletcher and Odemwingie. Not only is Fletcher's strikerate currently better than Odemwingie (don't bother denying it, the facts prove this) but he is only 24 years of age and will be hitting his peak for us when your man has long since left and working as a pundit on Uzbekistan Television. I'm surprised you have the nerve to brag about a player who will start to show his age over the next couple of years. In all likelihood his performances last season will be the best you'll ever see from him. Even if you offered us him for free I wouldn't want him, we're spoilt for choice up front. As well as Fletch we have Doyle, Ebanks-Blake and Ward. Every one of you would kill for those kind of options up front. In all seriousness, the only player I would have off you lot is Mulumbu. In every other position we have players who are equal, or in most cases, better than yours.If your just going to chat complete and utter pooh, do one back over your own mickey mouse forums!!

I'm right though. You may have "only" paid £2m for Odemwingie, but all you've got is an aging player who from now on will get worse with each game. You'll need a lot more during your upcoming difficult second season. Oh that's right, you've just bought Shane Long, a.k.a. "The Poor Man's Kevin Doyle".
And you can bang on about league placings all you want. Interesting how you all continue to ignore the two most important matches from last season where you were outplayed and outfought on all fronts. You only just scraped a draw at the Poorthorns, and even then you had to be rescued by a player you borrowed from Arsenal.

Mate its getting cringeworthy, please stop it because my insides are hurting from the laughter. Anyone would have thought that you had a good season or that you have masivley improved your squad. If Johnson gets injured you still have the same team that collapsed against Blackburn on the last day so stop being so deluded.i totally agree with you that persons statement was laughable only wolves fans would trade a fantastic league position for two games that we didnt care that much about and at home we bearly turned up and still got a draw shows the quality of the s***
If im honest i think we will both be safe because the threee teams coming up are very weak
And a player you'd borrowed from Tottenham scored your only goal. Poothorns?! Really, okay i'll sink to the level of intelligence you molinpoo lot have.
Did you end up buying the DVD of your cup final? It's not often you beat us so i hope you make the most of it. We like to do our bit to help the less fortunate Midland teams like yourselves. ;)
we can bang on about league positions all we want? You are an idiot.
The fact is nobody knows about this season yet, it is all opinion. The facts are we were the better side last year.
At the hawthornes we dominated second half, we just couldnt score until our borrowed Vela cancelled out your borrowed O'Hara.
You deserved to win at the molineux, mostly because we were so poor for 50 minutes. However we had nothing to play for and still pretty much controlled the second half.

Wolves will never ever live down the great surrender season of 2002 and trust me that hurts them more than anything.
Outplayed and outfought at the Hawthorns, are you deluded.You were probably the most defensive team i had seen at our place last season.From what i can remember of your play it was non productive, a bit of neat passing in your own half and that was it, then we completely took control in the second half.
At you place it was a game of 2 halves.If we had turned up you would be playing championship football now.It was probably our worst display of the season.All we had to do was go up a few gears and we would have blown you out of sight.Its just that our players went on holiday sooner rather than later.
I am sure our players will be aware this season.Bring it on
We signed O'Hara so it's different. There's no way you could afford Vela, and even if you could I doubt he would want to move to Birmingham's third club on a permanent basis.

Don't have a go at me. All I'm hearing is 11th! 11th! Yet when we played each other we came out on top. Funny that.
This is truly hilarious, you baggies fans never cease to offer me some entertainment and laughter.
The guy who would choose Long over Doyle? Are you serious? That was a personal favourite. Why would you choose Long exactly? =/ Has he been recieving interest from clubs like Juventus and Arsenal? Has he been playing in the prem? Has he had any other interest apart from you before he signed and if so who?... Doyle is clearly better and you know it mate. We all do.
You guys do bang on about 11th, comfortable in 11th yet you had the 2nd worst defence in the league? Tell me about your inspiring signings to improve on that please.
WBA class of the West Midlands? HA! Get back on the moonshine son and sprout some more ludicrous ramblings like that, their highly amusing :D
Odemwingie is a one season wonder, he'll rot this year and you have Long if he's injured? God, you need all the help you can get.

Great manager this week. Mick out next week ??? ??? ???
That's the same Mick that managed to take us from nothing to a 3rd season in the prem in just over 5 years in charge while picking up bargains such as Kighty and Jarvis for peanuts.Oh but you do remember what happened after that?
You can bang on about your league finish but the matter of the fact is we're in the same league... that's all that matters. Can't wait to watch Utd do what Chelsea done to you on the opening day least season.
Nothing hurts, not with where we are at the moment... Things for our club are looking great:
Stadium re-development
Great players with awesome potential still (Jarvis, O'Hara, Johnson (but getting on a bit), Fletcher, Kightly if he can regain his old form, etc etc)(waiting for the herds of abuse from this comment now)

Beggers belief! Really is! Realism needs to come in to this. Would prob have about 4 Wolves players in our starting XI, and prob the majority of the bench as well.What with this squad we've got now if we finish 17th it would be deemed as a failure, we should be trying to equal last seasons finish.
There isnt that much difference between the teams.
Highly feasible Wolves can finish 11th and us 17th.
And I'd be happy with that.
Shame that the ding's who have come on here can't see the logic!!

On the issue of defence. I agree we havent done anything big really but we have brought in a top keeper and added more strength in depth, i guess we are just going to have to trust that roy has worked with the defence. Hopefully though we will have strengthened that area before the end of the transfer window.
With long i think its more a case of we want him to do well and are giving him a chance to prove himself as he is still untested at this level but comes here after a great season in the championship.
Tchoyi can be capable of magical things one minute then look like a donkey the next but thats just him. Cox however is a class poacher who is ver calm and composed in front of goal however roy plays him behind the striker so he has been adapting to his new position.
Does that answer your questions then merlin!? ;)
Wolves had the 4th worst goals for in the league, what have you done to address that?
Not here to argue regardless of what people may think from my previous posts.
We both have differing opinions on our clubs, sides, stadiums, staff etc etc and so we should!
I personally think you'll have a harder season, I don't think Odemwingie can sustain the form he did last season but that's just what I think, none of you have addressed the question I've been trying to ask though from the beginning and that is, you had the 2nd worst defence in the league, what have you done to really improve this this summer?
Also I just want to know why people think Long will be such a hit?
Tchoyi isn't that good IMO, Cox... goal of the month? That doesn't mean anything about his ability as back up.
I think we'll do better than last season but I know you'll disagree, that's rivalry for you.
Wolves had the 4th worst goals for in the league, what have you done to address that?
For scoring goals? I think the fact Fletcher is now settled when playing is a huge factor and will help him bag a fair few more goals this season, when Fletcher first started playing he wasn't scoring because he was always in and out of the team and I think that done something to his confidence but towards the end of the season he was banging them in when playing week in, week out... got them two nice ones against you ;DVela's goal aw wow. Great finish.
If your on about the defence? Then we've signed Roger Johnson who is a class act and easily premiership quality, people can say that he was in a relegated side and yes, that's true but the matter of the fact is Birmingham's problem was scoring goals rather than conceding. With RJ now our new captain he can see everything in front of him and direct the other players easier, I think he's got to be a better leader than KH.
Is that answered for you? :-*
Vela's goal aw wow. Great finish.
That does answer my question thanks.
I think you've got a class signing in Foster, think he'll save you some points tbf.
I think Long's a good player but I suppose it's a case of can he step it up in the prem? We'll have to see.
I also have to admit you have a very good manager in Roy. Will be an interesting season.
Don't forget we've also brought back the Hoff from Duisberg to further bolster our attacking options, and let me tell you, his loan spell has given the big man a new lease of life. He looked awesome against Real Zaragoza in our comfortable 2-0 victory. You better pray he doesn't come on at your place because I can see him tearing your defense apart."His loan spell has given him a new lease of life".......and you can tell this from a friendly?
"His loan spell has given him a new lease of life".......and you can tell this from a friendly?Of course. I'm shaking in my boots already ::).
I quite rate O'Hara but he went missing for the main part of the season when the dingles needed big performances, scored a goal against us and did nothing much more as far as I'm concerned.
Don't forget we've also brought back the Hoff from Duisberg to further bolster our attacking options, and let me tell you, his loan spell has given the big man a new lease of life. He looked awesome against Real Zaragoza in our comfortable 2-0 victory. You better pray he doesn't come on at your place because I can see him tearing your defense apart.
O'Hara wasn't full fitness last season as he was still recovering slightly for the injury that kept him out for the best part of a year. I've heard a lot of people say he 'didn't do much more' but IMO he really showed his quality in the last few games, especially Blackburn, his goal was vital. I think the fact O'Hara has now got a whole pre-season under his belt as a Wolves player will help his ability and performances this season.I hope the Wolves' trophy cabinet was left alone. Would be a shame for all those Midland Masters trophies to go missing.
I haven't seen the Hoff from the friendly but heard a lot of positive things, he's huge and provides an ariel advantage... may have to watch out for him as he could sneak in and cause some damage... maybe.
Quick light-hearted joke!
"Reports are surfacing of the WBA trophy cabinet being looted as it was empty, however the club can finally confirm these to be untrue, it wasn't touched"
I hope the Wolves' trophy cabinet was left alone. Would be a shame for all those Midland Masters trophies to go missing.

Just means we get to beat you infront of more people in the future - can't wait.
Booooooo!!! Mick Out!!!! You'll really be able to hear it.
A white elephant in the making if ever there was one.
Nope, no-one is interested. Now if you put that on a Wolves message board then i'm sure you would get a lot more interested people.
I went to the shop today by the way, if anyones interested ::) ::)
Yeah im looking forward to seeing all those orange seats without people in.
Beat us? :D
Your players choked in front of 29,000 at Molineux last season. Those bunch of bottlers will poo their pants in front of 38,000.
Well, that's disappointing. Once phase 4 is complete the Black Country will have the biggest, most modern football stadium in the entire region. Molineux will be the Midland's Wembley! Imagine that.

We supposedly choked with nothing to play for..You seem to have forgot the 10 point head start we gave you ?
Boasting about a 1-1 draw, a win against an off-colour side who were already confirmed as safe, and a heroic 3-2 loss against Blackburn is pathetic even by Wolves' standards.
Or 76000 at Old Trafford or 60000 at the Emirates...................
Great.... i so enjoyed that cup tie. Could we have 6000 tickets next time?
So is our squad, you know the squad that finished 11th last year!
As a Wolves fan who's posted on here a few times in the past can I try and be objective and summarise a few things I believe.
Both of us had poor defences last year and from a Wolves point of view Johnson is a great signing and can hopefully stabilise younger players like Berra and Stearman. I still think we are a good defender short of being solid. As for Albion Foster is a great improvement on Carson but I'm not sure McCauley or Jones will improve on what you had before. So I think we are both better at the back than last year but I suspect you too would like one more good defender. Dawson may be it but its a big ask to jump 2 divisions and perform week in week out. Hopefully he does as its good to see young English lads coming through.
As for midfield you have an abundance of good players and most teams below the top 6 would take Brunt, Dorrans and Mulumbu in a heartbeat. Thomas is decent from what I've seen and you have decent if unspectacular back-up like Morrison. O'hara aside I think we are weak in the centre if we have to rely on Henry every week and I'm still hopeful someone will come in before the end of August. Out wide Jarvis and Hunt are good hard working players, Hamill is potentially a very good young player and Kightly is still unknown at this level because of injury. If he can get back what he had then he will be some player but its a big if.
As for strikers we have two excellent players in Fletcher and Doyle, SEB is decent as a third choice and Ward an intelligent player who's had to adapt this game to play anyhwere Mick wants. Its the area of the pitch I least worry about for us. No-one can deny Odemwingie had a fantastic season, the question is can he do it again when he's more widely known. However he has pace and great ability and at any level that's a big asset. Long is a gamble in a way as any striker coming out of the championship is an unknown quantity. SEB scored 50 goals in 2 seasons but still struggled but then players like DJ Campbell did much better than expected so again who knows? I don't know much about the back-up behind those two but from the times I've seen them Cox looks decent but I don't rate Fortune or Bednar. So if by any chance Odemwingie struggles and Long doesn't adapt you will be relying on goals from the midfield though you've got good goalscorers there, including Thcoyi (spelling?).
For what its worth I think we will both be safe as we've improved and teams coming up seem weaker. I don't place too much emphasis on last years placing as Birmingham finished 9th the year before and couldn't kick on. Having stayed up 2 years ago a few injuries and the "dirty Wolves" tag derailed us and it took a long time to recover and we were always playing catch-up so although a cliche "second season syndome" is something to watch out for. In Hodgson I suspect you have the perfect manager to deal with that.
All in all I think we will both be ok. We are both proper clubs who live within our means and buck the trend of clubs who splash cash and want instant success and for that reason I have a respect for the Baggies as a club.
Sorry for the length of this post....good luck.

1. Like when i couldnt here a single thing you chanted in the cup or the 2nd half of last seasons league game. How much noise will your coorporate crowd/ 7 year old free ticket schoolkids make then?
1.Two stadiums famous for their intimidating atmospheres.....
2.I'm sure the finished Molineux will be able to accomodate 6000 away fans. Just one of the many advantages stadia with world class capacity and facilities brings.

Not here to argue regardless of what people may think from my previous posts.Just on the second worst defense point. We may have conceeded the second most amount of goals, but in matches our defense was better than the oppositions on enough occasions to earn enough points to finish 11th. Where did wolves finish? Have you done enough to address this?
We both have differing opinions on our clubs, sides, stadiums, staff etc etc and so we should!
I personally think you'll have a harder season, I don't think Odemwingie can sustain the form he did last season but that's just what I think, none of you have addressed the question I've been trying to ask though from the beginning and that is, you had the 2nd worst defence in the league, what have you done to really improve this this summer?
Also I just want to know why people think Long will be such a hit?
Tchoyi isn't that good IMO, Cox... goal of the month? That doesn't mean anything about his ability as back up.
I think we'll do better than last season but I know you'll disagree, that's rivalry for you.
We are hardly in debt ourselves are we!
- we run in profit
we're rebuilding the stadium
we're rebuilding the training ground
we're building a premier worthy squad by adding 10-20m worth talent each year (wether we spend money wisely is a different debate, but least its their if we want it)
we are one if not the best run club in the country imo which is credit to the club
We are hardly in debt ourselves are we!
we have succesfully stayed up twice in a row (more than you've yet to achieve)
We are rebuilding our stadium
We have already rebuilt and own our training ground as well as one of the best academies in europe
We are building a premiership squad
We are one of the best run clubs in the country too
Check your history, do you not remember the 'great escape' season?!
SO WHATS YOUR POINT???
[/list]
Just on the second worst defense point. We may have conceeded the second most amount of goals, but in matches our defense was better than the oppositions on enough occasions to earn enough points to finish 11th. Where did wolves finish? Have you done enough to address this?
Our new stadium is coming on a treat by the way, if anyone's interested.
serious issue with goals conceded for you imo which you need to address, we are no defensive heroes ourselves but if your conceeding 1 goal every game (min) like yourselves were doing you need to score TWO goals just to stand a chance of winning the gamethe difference between west brom and wolves last season is your right as in fact our defences record wasnt too different relative to yours as we only conceded 5 goals more than you it was only the terrible clean zheet record that got us lumbered with the exaggeratedly bad defence label. Im not saying our defence was good last i just think it was emphasised our impressive attacking record. As we were the joint eighth top goalscoring team.i am not deluded i know our defence was rubbish but it wasnt as far off the mark as certain pundits would say.
thankfully for yourselves you did this more times than not, but its a big ask. what happens when the goals dry up? as they will at some point
as for our defence, probably not....we need a left back!! we know it, you know it, everyone knows it bar mick it would appear. before we get solid left back in or one of the current players step up a notch then we'll always have a weak link to the defensive line!!!
Serious question.
Is it Steve Morgans company doing the work ?
With him now having a full pre-season, i'm pretty sure he has drilled his vast knowledge into them and i can gaurantee we won't conceed as many goals as last season, especially now we have Ben Foster in goal who will save us at least 10 points this season.
Overall i think that you have only added one player (o'hara already spent half season with you) but it should be enough to get you 14th - 16th. With albion im predicting us to finish 13th - 15th, but remember this is my opinion.
I should be too busy enjoying my birthday, but sadly I'm on the way to the hospital. My sides need stitching back together after spending the last hour laughing about "The Hoff" coming to rip us to shreds next season ;D ;D
Honestly, you Dingles are the most deluded people in the world. The laughing stock of the Midlands.
And I won't even get into the laughable comment "you'd kill for options like Ward" ::) Erm, yeah, ok then!
Oldbury, I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain its being done by a company that specialises in stadium builds, called The Buckingham Group. They also built Brighton's new ground.
Paddy McCourt to the Dingles?
Paddy McCourt to the Dingles?Not a chance. He's the wrong type of Irish.
Do you own a mirror? :)
Well done on your victory today.Fair play.Blackburn are going to struggle this season
Worth baring in mind, Blackburn were without both Ryan Nelson and Chris Samba and had Nzonszi playing at centre half so that was bound to have a massive influence on the game. Credit to Wolves mind, very good result away at Blackburn.
Good away following today from the dingles, as usual.
Good away following today from the dingles, as usual.We took that many in 04, first away of the season and decent prices, we'd be the same.
I think they look quite solid this year and should have enough to survive. ON first showings I think there are 5 teams worse than them in the division and a few only marginally better. The same goes for us so on paper you would think we will both survive.
Scary really just how similar we are now - both being described as two of the best run teams in the country, probably around about the same level as each other on the pitch and slowly building up while others struggle with debts.
Not a bad time to be a black country football fan - especially with the decline over the border in Birmingham.
We took that many in 04, first away of the season and decent prices, we'd be the same.
we still had to stick the ball in the back of the net! and blackburn had their attacking players all fit and rarely troubled us
roger johnson on first glance appears to be major signing for us, berra looked twice the player he usually is stood next to a defender who can.....well defend ;)
Has anyone else seen this little plank? Called Odemwingie a "coon" and has been absoloutly pillared.
Not only that, the police are involved and Wolves are taking his season ticket off him ;D
Well done to Wolves for acting quickly , the chant was pathetic and sick and i hope the tw*t gets banned for quite a long time
i hope the tw*t gets banned for quite a long time
Out of curiosity do we know how old he was??
Saw someone suggest earlier that they should get him to apologise to Odemwingie in person.
I read MrWolf on the mix doesn't seem to rate who we have purchased and reckons we will struggle.He says Gera Has never cut it in the premier and ageing.He seems to be happy with our poor signings
You really think Pete would want a spectacle made of it? I doubt he's even aware of it.
Who was the Wolve's poster who used my quote that Long was better than Doyle?
Strange it seems to have gone after Long scores against Man United and Doyle misses a pen. ;D
Indefinite ban from the custard bowl:
http://twitter.com/#!/officialwolves (http://twitter.com/#!/officialwolves):
OfficialWolves Wolves FC
For information. Wolves fan who posted racist comment on Twitter last night has been handed an indefinite ban from Molineux.
It sets an interesting precedent, that's for sure. I think it is the right decision to revoke his season ticket, but I would say for a season or two would be suitable. Banning a 16 year old for life for a comment on a social networking website, albeit disgusting, is going to open up plenty of debate. What about fans who post sexist remarks? homophobic comments? remarks about other minorities like gypsies? hell, even people taking the mick out of gingers? Are they going to be banned, or is that bigotry not seen as bad as racism...
where have we said long is better?
doyle scored vs manutd last season, oh and the keeper didnt dive over top of the ball on that occasion either :D

here's the racist scum bag!
I have 2 mutual friends with him :-X

The kid just looks like a normal person to me Iam sure he didnt mean what he said as there`s a fair share of black
players in the Wolves team and iam sure he gets right behind them.Any albion fans making a big thing out
of this must be very sad people.
The barks are doing well today, not long before delusional comments of them being top/ish and us being bottom/ish start to surface
Just need to remind them two games gone

Good 2 wins but lets see how your defence copes against Man United and Chelsea , you concede more than 4 than your defence is worse than ours lol :D
Against the World class attacks of Blackburn and Fulham!
Can only play the teams put in front of us
First time since 1998 (I think) that we've won our first two opening games.
Europe here we come. :-*

I'd expect 6 points from Blackburn and Fulham (at home) to be honest. Fair play to W*lves because they have taken the points from the teams put in front of you (which is all you can do) but it is hardly worth doing a backflip about. Come Christmas, and after we've all played each other once, then you can see how the league is starting to pan out really.

I think you might be right kevin. I think most observers of the league would also agree. We just cant afford to be complacent though, not yet.

Fulham looked tired and lacking ideas to me. Not too worried about facing them to be honest.
tired in august? jesus wept
clutching at straws me thinks
Fulham have already played 9 games compared to your 2. It's possible the players are fatigued a little.Shouldnt that make them that little bit sharper? yes they have played 9 games but the first one was end of June/beginning of July

According to E & S Liverpool will make 10 million bid for Doyle , would be a big blow if he goes.
I cant believe how fantastic Wolves have started the season. I see no reason why they cant qualify for Europe possibly even push for a top 4 place.
They have quality running right through their squad, have players who would walk into any other Prem side and with plays like Elokobi, Ebanks-Blake and Keogh in their squad even injuries to key players they can replace like for like.
I am extremely envious looking at the start they have made and their new stadium is going to look superb and will be very intimidating with 55k fans packed in.
Fantastic Wolves? pushing for top 4? quality running through the squad? envious? 55000 fans? Has a Wolves fan hacked your account, if not please tell me you are being sarcastic!!

Almost a done deal according to the Irish papers.
Stefan Maierhofer signs for Salzburg from Wolves for a fee of around £1million #WWFC
Thought he was going to be their saviour?? ;D
Was a dreadful game to watch, was mainly due to McLeish's negative tactics mind, but still dire. In the last 10 minutes at home, a win would have put Villa top, but they sat back and it looked like Wolves would win it most likely.
It pains me to say it but Wolves will be fine.
If Wolves fans still honestly believe that Fletcher and Doyle are better than Odemwingie and Long afterAt least it's better than Neymar's.
that dross performance then they must be living in cloud cuckoo land.
Can anyone tell me how many attempts either striker had at goal ? I counted 0 for Doyle and 0 for Fletcher!!
OH!! AND CAN SOMEONE TELL HUNT TO GET HIS HAIR CUT PLEASE !! >:(
sure you werent getting wolves and villa muddled up, wolves were the ones in orange.

To be fair, Wolves will have a much more successful season than us, they have spent a lot of money over the last 2 seasons and it will pay off this year I'm sure of. We don't lack any ambition at all to be fair, 17th will be a good season for us. With the money they have spent though they should be finishing higher than us, so any gloating would just be embarrassing.
Embarrassing to gloat? That's ironic from what happened last season with you lot. You guys have been doing it all summer! :D
I'm not gloating, there's no gloating to be done at the moment... I just think the fan who said it would be embarrassing to gloat needs to understand he can't really say that when you guys have been doing it all summer about where you finished last season.
Not having a dig, just making a point.
Embarrassing to gloat? That's ironic from what happened last season with you lot. You guys have been doing it all summer! :D#
Embarrassing to gloat? That's ironic from what happened last season with you lot.

i thought you guys apperently wernt obsessed with us and we are with you?
Is the irony of posting that on an Albion website missed by you?

good start from wolves! cant take it away from them
i would have wanted atleast 5 points from that start!
see how they do against the big boys (although saying that last year they did quite well just like we did)
very early to start chirping away with 35 games left to play....
w27 why are you here to wind us all up lol. i wont have an excuse if you finish higher, fair play to ya, i mean at the end of the day aren't wolves the more successful club, so therefore it should be the norm?
I don't see how particularly he is winding us up??
I think his most recent post is a perfectly fair analysis!
All Your squad is looking stronger than ours right now
Is it really ? Defensively yes but midfield and up front ? It's still basically the squad that just made it over the line last season.

I think a reality check may be required by our rather excitable neighbours!
Yes, they have enjoyed a good unbeaten start - but didn't they do that last season as well, along with Birmingham? Whatever happened to them by the way?
A win against Fulham who cannot buy a win away...
A win against Blackburn who cannot buy a win...
A draw at Villa who Mr McLeish is slowly but surely turning into a toothless, negative and defensive mirror image of Blues, who will eventually be heading in the same direction (and I don't mean Wembley)!
No doubt a further 3 points against a watertight Tottenham would for many of them underline their Premier League credentials and breaking into the top 4 this season would not be out of the question?
(Arsenal and Juventus are interested in Kevin Doyle - you know, the rich man's Shane Long)!
What they fail to recognise though, is that if your neighbour is a ****** he will always be a ******, regardless of how much wealth and success they enjoy, it really means very little to the majority of Albion supporters.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION is the only club that matters!
you'll find me on all the premier forums and will discuss when wolves relatedHow do you manage to find time to work or have a real life?
doesnt mean im obsessed with wigan, manutd or blackburn
Have you guys had one clean sheet in your last 39 games?In the last decade how many times have Wolves finished higher in the league than the Albion?
In the last decade how many times have Wolves finished higher in the league than the Albion?Since the war how many times have Albion been English league champions?
Since the war how many times have Albion been English league champions?
West Bromwich Albion post war league titles: 1
Wolverhampton Wanderers post war league titles: 6
Come on, Boggies. If you want to live in the past that's fine by me.
How many domestic cups have you won? How many times have you been finalists in a European competition?
We could be here all day but to be honest you're boring bye
It is amazing that a club like yourselves also have more seasons in the old fourth division than us as well and also the highest record attendance for a game in that division as to hear you all talk there must have been at least 50,000 there the day only 3,000 or so attendance was actually recorded. I suppose we can lay claim to the best promotion season after clawing back what was 11 points against a team of bottlers. I can picture the banner now :-*
We also have the last word. ;)
Can someone pick a winning team with the 2 clubs(ours & their) players combined
W*lves will finish above us this season. Well done Albion. ::) >:(jumping to conclusions. i hope not :(
jumping to conclusions. i hope not :(
Fair play to the start they have made. What i do not understand is all the radio comments about how much better they look at the back now Johnson has joined. Agreed he has made a difference, but what would happen to them if he gets injured. All the out cry though has been about how we are screwed without Olson and yes we may well be, but so will they be if he gets injured as he was all they added

Wolves current redevelopment (livecam)
http://www.molineuxpride.co.uk/wt/live_cam
And Albions......
http://colorviewportraits.com/albionlivecam.jpg
Shane Long has been chosen ahead of Kevin Doyle for Ireland against Slovakia. ;D
personally this got raised up on our forum the other day......i'd say 90% of our posters said they were thankful of this as lessens the risk of doyle getting injured on International Duty (has been injured 2-3 times previous with ireland)
now i believe he is starting as long is injured? was that picked up with ireland?
Indeed we lost but 7 points from 4 games, QPR next week so back to winning ways next Saturday thank you very much! :D
Can't wait to see the Suffolk folk to do you over tomorrow.

Mad Mick out !!
1.Hammill should of started instead of Michael Kightly.
2.Kevin Doyle was doing his usual bugger all act.
3.Stephen Hunt should retire from football and become a werzel Gummidge double.
4.Karl Henry should go and play in league 1 where he belongs.
5.Jamie O`Hara only plays when he feels like it and is not in the same league as Graham Dorrans. ;)
Back to reality ha ha ha
Mad Mick out !!!
Yeah, my bad with the whole Suffolk / Norfolk... I was thinking Ipswich.
not really most wolves fans were realistic before yesterday
we knew we were due reality check, spurs were due a win
it was nice to play one big 5-6 knowing you dont NEED points, it was a free game and we played really well until they broke us down with bit of class and quality
qpr is the next test, win would gives us excellent points tally of 5games, drew isnt the end of the world given our current jump start on rivals although realistic you need 3pts of these sort teams more times than not
Forgive me for butting in, but don't you need another 33 points to be at what is considered the survival figure?
Nice view for some from their new stand :)
(http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/phbaggies/wolvesview.jpg)
Thats brilliant ;D ;D
We're the ones making developments though aren't we?or making backwards steps judging by this pic :D
Simple answer to this, don't sit there! :D :D

that view is from when you are stood on the stairs not when your sat down. You see all the pitch when in the seats. take a look at the live cam we have and you will see what i mean.
I'll pass on that cheers, might go and watch that room I painted dry instead :)
Whatever, was pointing it out as its a fact, dow really care what you think of our development to be honest. If you thinks is pants then just be glad it aint your ground
A Wolves fan who can't handle a gentle bit of banter? I'd say I'm surprised...
was rubbish banter though, You say you dont care yet your happy to read this thread, just seemed like yet another attempt to belittle the work we are doing, gets boring after a while that is all.
develop a squad capable of avoiding relegation on the last day 1st
that would be my advice

You've never survived relegation on the final day? Hmmm, something tells me differently.
I dont think anybody really thinks the Wolves developments was "pants" wolvesfan. It was just a bit of micky taking - the same thing that goes on on Wolves forums to a greater degree.
For what its worth, the ground when complete will look impressive.
In black and white photographs anyway ;) :D.
Im honestly not being biased but….My God demands a capital `G´. If I don´t use a capital`G´, I could go to hell...or maybe come back as a dingle... or a spider. Just saying.
seriously, the wolves are just a shambles arent they? The two points made:
1) That is the view you get when walking by the stairs from the concourse, thats ridiculous. I can't name another stadium i've been to where the view is as obstructed as that! Just a shocking piece of design.
2) The temporary stand facing head on to the Billy Wright stand, just a complete mess.
Pretty amusing to look at though as an outsider, thank god we arent like that.
That's brilliant! Haha. Lets wait for the Albions fans excuses now...?
Baggies?

FAO: Visitors from WolverhamptonWell said Oldbury, im glad some justice has been done, frankly the last thing i want to see is comments winding us up.
If you are on here to discuss things properly then you are welcome, if you are here to wind up or just to try and get reactions then don't bother as you will be gone.
If you cannot take into account this is a BAGGIES board and you will find comments having a pop at your 'beloved' club then you have stumbled onto the wrong forum. If you choose to respond by 'trying' (and failing big style most times) to start a wind up then we will just press a button called 'BAN' similar to how your forums ban anyone who makes a single comment about you lot.
Its very mature to post something on here and go scuttling back to your own boards to big yourselves up when actually you just make yourself look a bit of a knob.
Your choice. There are a couple of decent posters from the Staffordshire border but they get let down by a few others.
lets face it , it will be a million times better than our embarrasing conference standard halfords lane care home
Has anyone got a spare quid for the electricity meter at the custard bowl? Game today is in doubt. What a shame...
Boing Boing
I wish it had never come back on having sufferred 2 of the worst hours in watching Wolves in 40 years as a supporter >:( Plus the usual 300 mile round trip into the bargain!We're both rubbish.
Its all gone a bit pear shaped for both our clubs since I predicted we'd both have comfortable seasons!
We're both rubbish.

im willing to accept today as one of those days for wolves, however joey bartons comments on twitter and his actions at the end of the game have infuriated me more then the result to be honest, what a pathetic man he is
Lets be honest, Joey Bartons reaction to the Wolves crowd was funny :D

You could help solve this problem by making this section of your site private, like you have with others. Or perhaps you want certain portions of your membership to publicly post uninformed, barely literate pooh about Wolves and its fans?
Well, it is your site after all. Although dishing out bans whenever non-Albion supporters join up to engage in some of this "banter" is rather cowardly and pathetic, and following it with sanctimonious drivel like that above just makes yourself look a bit of a knob :-*
Why are you even viewing an Albion website ?
Sorry but if you can dish it out as football fans you should be prepared to take it. I remember you lot all crying over Koumas doing the same thing when we beat you 3-0 in the cup.
If your going to abuse all day then expect some back. This isnt just a Wolves thing its through alot of football fans as a whole.
However it seems Wolves fans use it as an excuse just look at the fact Hughes was blamed for Wolves fans stoned a coach filled with pensionable age Notts County fans.
A thread dedicated to wolves, surely a wolves fan has a right to see what is being put? and has the right to respond to mostly nonsense and petty little comments.
I think certain posters from both side of the clubs on here should really grow up, admins involved.
QPR attack with pace which something the dingles back line lacks badly, cant wait until october. Magic mick answer to any positives out the game was sterling :DIt looks like us and Wolves have got something in common after all.
BOOOOOOOOOOO

Also of late Doyle is being compared to Andy Keogh ;D
Drop Ohara i am hearing :D
Yes, like every club we have our share of webmongs but so do every club FFS, you lot are just as bad, if not worse!
Take you last season, you couldn’t wait for a Wolves fan to post on your boards, you were getting your passports out, pride of the black country, Peter chose you instead of the other 3 of the top 4 to sign his deal, Shane Long signed and he was the final piece of that jigsaw etc... fast forward a few months and you are doomed, Odemwingie isn’t interested now he has his contract, Shane Long isn’t quite the masterstroke of a signing you thought and any Wolves fan on here isn’t welcome and the ones who do come on get banned!
I have also noticed the same fans who are full of the "black country is ours, where’s the dingles now??" .. soon as Wolves are higher in the league/doing in the slightest better, even within 6 games and its "oh there not our rivals anyway, I have always considered Villa to be".
What I don't understand is when Albion were doing well you gave it the big "We're a top 10 club, pushing for Europe next season" etc etc...
What I don't understand is when Albion were doing well you gave it the big "We're a top 10 club, pushing for Europe next season" etc etc... but as soon as things don't go your way and we seem to be doing better than you guys, you can't seem to handle it and come out with all the excuses...
I keep hearing this line being trotted out by you lot but as someone who obviously would know a large number of Albion fans personally and as a contributor on here there were very few, if any, that seriously thought we are a top ten club who should be pushing for Europe. Complete fabrication from you lot, perhaps to try and deflect attention away from your own deluded fans who think exactly the same about W*lves.
We could sit here all day and accuse each other of everything under the sun, it gets boring after a while. There's only so many times you can read the same old boring debates, "the black country's ours" ... "no it ay it's ours" blah blah blah. The talking will be done on the pitch on the 16th, I'm praying we put a good performance in but I'm not confident at this moment in time.
Wolves fans who come onto an Albion forum and don't expect to hear remarks they don't like about their team need their heads looking at. If you don't like it why not go on your OWN forums?
As for all the comments about us being 'quiet' now I don't exactly remember when we were 'loud'. It's your club spouting out the **** about top ten and Europe.
If you track back last season there were a few of your fans talking about top 10 and Europe... I can't recall one Wolves fan talking about Europe? But hey, let's be realistic... neither of us will get there within at least 5 years if that!
Can't believe the start Newcastle have had! And to think Newcastle fans were calling for Pardew's head
Another bad loss for Wolves.
Your looking forward to it? I HATE every second of it :)
I would have thought Wolves would have picked up more points from the last four games.
That music when they score...have a word!
I wouldn't say a 'bad loss'... we should of had a penalty, easily... disallowed goal which would of made it 2-2, Krul was brilliant today and was the only thing that made Newcastle get the 3 points really today.
I'm pleased with our performance today (2nd half) however, we shouldn't have gone 2-0 down in the first place. I'm looking forward to playing you guys next... I think it'll be close.
Very disappointing today. We only really kicked on when the 5mins injury time went up and as much possession/shots on target/bad refereeing decisions there was – we had no pattern of play, very short on ideas, very predictable and defensively inept.Im not looking forward to playing Wolves, Halsey had a very poor game today made some awful decsions.
Halsey – you’re out of your depth mate, pack it in, I sympathise what you have been through big time but just call it day.
The booing of Henry was a disgrace, as is also the critics of O’Hara, he is everything of what goes through our side and because of the two wide men and Henry holding the demands laying on that blokes shoulders are unreal. At times our game almost reads like Mick says to every play bar O'Hara "right lads, scrap, battle, chase lots causes and put in that famous shift"... then pulls Jamie over to one side and says "right Jamie, just go out there and create". Please, please Mick give him the free role in a fortnights time. This is the position in which he revelled in at Pompey and his best playing time down here too. It is generally his best position. He is a good, good player but right now he looks a shadow of his real self. Him and Fletch almost work on a different wavelength to everyone else and Micks instructions and I think our fans forget this. Our play generally, is kick and run and it doesn’t suit them pair – infact they would very much suit you lot, id even go as far as saying Fletcher in the right setup would top what Peter scored last season and O'Hara could be potentially brilliant.
Against you lot I really would love it if we wentHennessey
Doherty Johnson Berra Ward
Henry
Milijas OHara
Hammill----------- Jarvis
Fletch
I genuinely believe that team would get a result.
This.
This.
And again.. This ;)
Completely disagree and based on today i am certainly not looking forward to playing the Albion.
http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2011/10/05/wolves-molineux-plan-under-review-after-tv-ruling/
Big shame.
I wonder how confident the Wolves fans are about next weeks encounter.
What's everyone's prediction for the game then?
As a Wolves fan I'd like to think a win but realistically I'll have to go for 1-1.
Fletcher and Odemwingie to score.

alright baggy boys.....
well since we last spoke neither side been in form, my wolves been dreadful since our spirited display vs spurs
im usually a 1/2 empty kind of guy but think you'll beat us comfortably personally, think if we lucky we'll pinch a draw (but be one those draws you battered us for us to get - like last two)
key for us in not conceeding early, in our last 3 displays we've conceded relitvely easy and been 2-0 down at ht
this could be a make or break game for us even this early, spirited display will put us in good shape in upcoming weeks with likes swansea or wigan at home to come! a battering will see confidence hit rock bottom and those games upcoming become "must win"
all i hope for is a fair ref and no iffy decisions either way
4-5-1 would mean we will probably be outnumbered in midfield, unless Mick puts a full back up front or somthing.
No Fletcher. No Goals.
Absolutely sexual intercourse gutting that is.
Where have all the Dingles fans on here gone? ??? They're usually here all the time but today they're nowhere to be seen. Can't think why, complete mystery.
Can someone remind me how they got on today
To be fair, if Mick is going to play into our hands as he did today by bringing Ebanks-Blake on for a midfielder, when they were winning the battle, he probably deserves to be sitting uncomfortably.
Looks like we'll just have to do you over at the Molineux again instead.
Ah well, time to move on. :)
I respected Mick until his comments about Scharner and the tshirt today.
If a Tshirt with our club emblem on offended his players that much I suggest he tells his own players to grow up

Didnt think they played too bad today,certainly moved the ball well around midfield.Will say im not convinced about Roger Johnson though,thats a lot of money.Going by what I've seen on the Wolves forums they really seem to hate him, calling him useless and saying that he's been awful most of the season :o. I think it's clear where the real talent lay in the Dann/Johnson partnership.
Also noticed today if you compare the benches of the two teams our strength in depth is really impressive compared to the dingles.
We had Odemwingie, Cox, Morrison, Dorrans just to name a few who could easily change a game. They had Ebanks-Blake, Sam Vokes and that little diver Hunt. Not that impressive really.
You say your bench can change a game and ours can't? Ebanks Blake looked sharp when he came on and he's just come back from injury, he can change a game... Vokes is young and only on the bench because Fletch is out injured right now, Hunt... have you seen Hunt on his day? I guess not... a diver? How so?. Thank you.
No Fletcher. No Goals.
Absolutely sexual intercourse gutting that is.
Strangely, I'm actually enjoying reading all of your comments... their pretty funny.
You deserved the win... now to focus on next weekend.
How right I was.Interesting about Johnson as i think most Baggies would have liked to sign him and yet i think that makes it 11 goals conceded in the last 4 times he has played against us,looks to me as though he and Dann are a case where the partnership performed better than their individual abilities would suggest.
.
Johnson should have scored too and I’m not happy with his performance/form at all. The no nonsense snotter I saw and admired at Blues wasn’t there at all and his whole "go on lad, have a go" attitude towards Tchoyi drunk me right off. Long and Odemwingie terrorised him today and badly exposed his weakness. I think looking at the game today, if you would have said who is the £5/6/7m centre half on £40k you would have been to drawn to Gareth McAuley, he was fantastic today, my MOTM.

If Wolves lose this one, I see Mick getting the boot very soon, the Swans have yet to win away this season.
A guy at work (who's a dingle) loves mick but reckons wolves need a fresh face at the club.
Personally I feel he's the only guy holding wolves back. The longer he stays the better!
I don't think he will get the boot, but I can see the crowd getting nasty.I think he has done a great job, that team you had when you got to the play offs wasnt that good really he has four very good seasons at Wolves.
Whatever people think of Mick, at the moment, after the mess Hoddle left us in he doesn't deserve the fans turning on him.
Your comments are laughable.
Your comments are laughable.
Your comments are laughable.Just like you, your fans, your manager, your team, your city, your players, your club... Right? You mean that sort of laughable don't you?
I think the funniest was the singing of "your not singing anymore". This after 85 minutes of complete silence, but for the occasional bout of booing. In fact booing McCarthy's subs, which then led to it getting to 2-2, comes a close second.
If Mad Mick can't handle the flak now, how's he going to cope when there's 55,000 of the mongrels calling for his head?
God isn't it brilliant to be an Albion fan at the moment eh? ;D ;D
Too bloody right mate about time aswell had to put up with 21 years of the albion been the 'little team' of the midlands i feel sorry for those that are older than me who have suffered longer no wonder my old man cant wipe the smile off his face at the moment
Am I the only person who thinks McCarthey getting the sack could see Wolves fly up the table?
I dont mind McCarthey but he will never push you forwards and over the last few years they have slowly but surely built up to become a team at least capable of staying up.
Poor little cow....She's only crying because that's her father standing next to her and she knows what's going to happen when they get home.
(http://gif.mocksession.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/CRYING-WOLVES-FAN-KOALA-HAT.gif)
McCarthy refused to discuss the fans' reaction and resorted to sarcasm by insisting 'The substitutions were obviously rubbish.'
Attempts to deny that the chants had got under his skin were unconvincing, however, especially when he admitted: 'I'm up for a scrap. If anyone fancies one, I'm more than happy to oblige them.'
She's only crying because that's her father standing next to her and she knows what's going to happen when they get home.
I just love how the fans were convinced they were going to get into Europe at the start of the season! :-*
I am loving this!! Whats happened to the european football??
Its going to be double figures with Man City coming up, he'll play a reserve team just so hes got an excuse when they get hammered!!!
Wanky Wanky Wanky
Walloped tonight by Citeh and a moron ran on the pitch from the south bank end. The sooner this rubbish drifts back into oblivion, the happier I will be. Chumps league here they come....I hope
Walloped? Did you watch the game? yeah the score was 5-2 but even with them getting 3 more goals than us (presuming you can count) I certainly wouldn't say walloped, we dominated the 2nd half and to be honest the fans are actually pleased :)

You mean you dominated after bringing on O'Hara and Henry to play against City's kids who had already taken their foot off?
Easilly pleased springs to mind.
To be fair, Wolves aren't the first team to be ripped apart by Citeh, and won't be the last this season.
If they lose against City on Saturday, then Mick surely only has the Wigan game to turn it around?
I'd love a Baggies fan to find me at least one quote where one of our fans genuinely believed we'd get into European football...Plenty of em at work, your defence is average Championship...Elokobi was the last man back half the time last night and hes your left back!!!

The end of the day it's the Carling Cup... Wasn't an important game.
Let's get back to concentrating on the league.
But what do you do against this city team, i fear the very worst when we play them especially there wingers against our full backs.
Pretty sure that Mulumbu , Scharner , Jones , reid and Jonas will be a better "wall" than craddock , elokobis fat ass and ward the rightsorryleftsorryrightsorryleft back.
Did i forget to mention Pete , long and tchoyi , dont underestimate what we have, no one will want to play us when on form...
Quite a few people putting Wolves down after the result mid week.We are supposed to put Wolves down , its the rules.
It's Man City. A loss is expected. They didn't do too badly imo.
I see Mick McCarthy has left Milijas out again which wont go down well with the natives,
the bloke hasnt got a clue .
Stearman , Henry , and Edwards are simply not good enough for the Prem league .
The end of the day it's the Carling Cup... Wasn't an important game.
Let's get back to concentrating on the league.
And why aren't they good enough? Billy Jones and McCauley are? :o
Jones and McAuley have come in and done a solid job and our defence has looked better for it. Sorry but just because they are free transfers from Championship teams doesn't mean they should be labeled not good enough.
How much did Stearman cost you? Can't say he's had a bigger impact than Jones so far can you?
You can't hide from the fact that your squad is littered with championship standard players. Elokobi, Edwards, Stearman, Henry, Ebanks-Blake, Vokes just to name a few, they are all players who have had zero impact on the premier league and have had plenty of time to prove it.
I'm sorry but to say Henry, Ebanks-Blake, Vokes etc are championship standard is unbelievable... I don't want to get into a debate about this but that mate, is ridiculous. Henry was brilliant today, Ebanks Blake was prolific last season but has been limited this season and Vokes is young and low on the pecking order as more experienced strikers are ahead of him. You can't say that about our players and still believe ALL of yours are prem standard? (I know you'll think they are though because your a Baggies fan)

Today i am a massive Wigan fan.!!!!!!!!!
Come on you Latics. ;D
A draw would be the best result for us otherwise Wigan go to within three points of Albion.
To be honest I'd rather Wolves & Stoke won today.
Lets keep that bottom 3 well away from the rest of the league.
Im guessing we will see the return of a few dingles on here now
It may only be by one goal but I'll relish being above you guys this week no matter if it changes next weekend.Have you got a game next week then?
It may only be by one goal but I'll relish being above you guys this week no matter if it changes next weekend.

Watching the game you could tell how tense the atmosphere was in the ground and it did get quite nasty at times in the first half.
Wolves fans really struggling to get behind the team. I get the feeling it won't pick up unless McCarthy goes I really think he has lost most of the fans.
and get it :D fans not happy with mad micks team today again .great

This is truly hilarious, you baggies fans never cease to offer me some entertainment and laughter.
The guy who would choose Long over Doyle? Are you serious? That was a personal favourite. Why would you choose Long exactly? =/ Has he been recieving interest from clubs like Juventus and Arsenal? Has he been playing in the prem? Has he had any other interest apart from you before he signed and if so who?... Doyle is clearly better and you know it mate. We all do.
You guys do bang on about 11th, comfortable in 11th yet you had the 2nd worst defence in the league? Tell me about your inspiring signings to improve on that please.
Odemwingie is a one season wonder, he'll rot this year and you have Long if he's injured? God, you need all the help you can get.
Mick alright!
Apparently Mournhio is interested in taking over from Mick.
Who out there is better than Mick that would go there?!?
It may only be by one goal but I'll relish being above you guys this week no matter if it changes next weekend.
Forever in our shadows.
Wolves will finish 16th i think.

Still close in the bottom half, one result can change it all up. We've got Sunderland at home which is one of them teams we should be beating but at the moment everything's so unpredictable.
See you guys have QPR away, that could prove tough.
It'll be an interesting weekend.
Sunderland at home for you, if you win Bruce is gone if they win well... obviously McCarthy stays
You say that as if he should be sacked? Some Wolves fans think he should but why? Look at you guys, you're only 3 points above us, one result and we can be level with you. Should RH be sacked?? No. So why McCarthy? Because some fans think a 3-0 loss to Chelsea away is the end of world? Give me a break.

It was a bit of sarcasm but it doesn't work well over the internet. Basically I was trying to say McCarthy could do pretty much anything and keep his job at the moment.
His favoritism is astonishing to some players no matter how average they are and Wolves fans I know have been telling me this for the past 2 seasons.
All that said though I have alot of respect for someone like Dave Whelan who could have pulled the trigger on Martinez around 10 times the last couple of seasons but has stuck by him. The difference is though I rate Martinez as a manager whereas McCarthy I really do have reservations about as a Premier League manager.
Don't get me wrong the job he has done for you has been nothing short of superb, but sometimes you have to look elsewhere to kick on.
Is it me or were there a load of budgies sitting in there new stand on Sunday?
I still can't get over the corner temporary stand. They arn't facing the pitch and are facing the side stand... hilarious
Who will win the Midlands golden boot :P Flecther 5 goals Long 5 goals let the battle commence :D (p.s before any wolves fan says that Fletcher was injured so was Long)
It’s good to see big investements for two players without a big name making a huge impression.
Fletcher now has 10 goals in his last 15 games which is superb, especially when you consider our chance creation isn’t the best. I loved his header yesterday, had shades of Bully written all over it.
I know I am wearing gold and black specs, and have obvious admiration for the bloke but I genuinely think he is one of the best, if not the best striker outside the top 6. He plays, he scores and his ability to find space is second to none, aswell as this he also oozes class.
If we keep him fit I don’t think we will have any problem finding 3 team’s worse off than ourselves come May.
Fletcher is a good player, id have Long ahead of him all day thoughI would as well, Long has suprised me this season so much.
Fletcher is a one of the ugliest men i have ever seen; shame he is losing his hair so early. Looks like some Wolves fans have finally realised a striker who scores goals is better than one who runs around like a headless chicken, I wonder if Arsenal will still come in for him. :P

And finally this thread is back in action! Always come here for a chuckle.
If it's laughter you're after, then get yourself down to the Moulinex as soon as...
...they've got this bloke in charge who is Barnsley born and bred, yet is convinced that he is actually Irish :o
Mind you, he must have some Irish in him - why else would he spend millions of pounds on a new central defender and captain only to then drop him for a 36 year old painter - now that's funny ;D
Perfect example of why I come here for a laugh...You do get some quality posts on this thread, lmfao
Long and Fletcher would make a bloody good partnership actually. But I would take Fletcher over him; he has much more technical ability than Long and has already managed goals 2 season on the bounce in this league, with very minimal game time.
Watch this then tell me he has "much more" technical ability http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpa7A3JTR30
Long every day of the week for me.
Championship....
Championship....
It dosent matter what division hes in its the technical ability he was talking about, can Fletcher use his backside to pass a ball? :D I think Long is better technically than fletcher but we'll soon see who's the better goal scorer.
Fletcher doesn't waste time passing the ball with his backside and looking fancy, he just bangs in the goals... no messing about. 10 in 15 for him. I think Fletch will honestly finish ahead of Long this season in number of goals.
So Long does have more technical ability than Fletcher then. That was my point.
You're argument / point is invalid because how do you know Fletcher can't do that?
I just said he doesn't. But if you're going to go on about technical ability? Watch MOTD2 and look at Fletcher's first touch from Hennessey's goal kick (the way he controls it from such a height). Brilliant.
Odemwingie and Long are both superior to Fletcher. Wolves fans are all eulogising about Fletcher - what will they do when he gets injured... Again? :D
Guarantee Fletch will get more goals than either of them. That's what it's about at the end of the day.
They will get hammered today and they will be back to booing Mick as usual.
Well, I think I'd rather take loosing 4-1 to Utd at Old Trafford than loosing to Wigan at home. :P

Can't wait to watch Utd do what Chelsea done to you on the opening day least season.
I really don't understand why you come on here when you insist on making a **** of yourself time and time again?
Well done on the QPR result earlier in the season, by the way!
Next time you post - please try using the Spell Check (it's there for knuckle draggers like yourself) :-[
Spell check? That's all correct mate.i wouldnt say far better, obviously qpr have better quality up front, but anyone can beat anyone in this league. we got a point off qpr at loftus road last week, and this week wigan beat us at our own place. things differ week to week.
QPR are better than Wigan, far better.
Well, I think I'd rather take loosing 4-1 to Utd at Old Trafford than loosing to Wigan at home. :P

In reply to the debate two pages earlier, I think it is ridiculous to call it a debate, Fletcher is superior to Long in terms of Technique, it’s insulting to the bloke to even compare them in that respect. I am astounded to read some of the stuff and clearly none of you lot have seen Fletcher play, and if you have its been the 20 seconds highlights on MOTD.
I saw allot of Long last season, and I rate him, I wanted us to sign him but in terms of technique he is an ordinary player. It’s his hold up play and his ability to run with the ball at his feet which is his asset; he is similar to Doyle in this respect only that he scores goals and is quicker off the mark. Fletcher’s first goal against Sunderland was Bergkamp esque and allot of his play with the ball at his feet is. The way he took it down and his volley shone of technique that Long doesn’t have. I said earlier and ill say it again, the only thing Long has ahead of Fletcher is pace and for this reason they would make a very good partnership. But overall Fletcher is a better player, 16 goals in 23 starts says it all and he has one of the best, if not the best shots per goals ratio in the league.
He's been linked with Liverpool today but it's just rumours at the moment.
Put Fletcher and Long in the same team and Fletch would bag more goals.

Take the time out to actually watch it ( i am referring to the original goal kick of which was pumped in the air and he took it down, brought it under control and layed it off with ease ) and then tell me that wasnt Bergkamp esque.
It was just good control! Nothing more or less! I would expect a lot of premier league footballers to control that!
To be honest I couldn't see Long being able to control that...
Honest opinion and I hence the OPINION bit

WTF is going on here exactly? :o
Why do you and the learned merlin_mick feel the need to be so vocal on this site?
This is a WEST BROMWICH ALBION forum and "Dingle watch - Anything Wolves" is a general laugh at those less fortunate ... not an alternative to "Question Time"
You are quite right that I have seen less than 20 seconds of "Fletch highlights" which brings me to my main point:
He does indeed have one of the best, if not the best, shots per goals ratio in the league but he would no doubt elevate you from the PL gutter if he could actually improve his minutes on the pitch ratio – but either way I don't really give a ****!
End of debate ::)

There's a topic on Molineux Mix saying how they should sign Robert Koren. Oh deary me ;D
We should never have sold him
If Henneysey hadn't saved that penalty (which they'd surely have lost from that point) I think today would have been the final straw, as they'd be so close to bottom at Christmas, but as it is they're outside the relegation zone with a recent win so I can't imagine Morgan making any rash decisions now.
Under McCarthy time and time again when pressure has started to mount they've pulled it out the bag.
On the plus side Doyle scored :P :P
We didn't, we just didn't take up our further year option on him.
Apparently Wolves could face an FA charge after their inbred fans threw bottles at Crouch when he was celebrating the winner. Cretins.Could get even worse then.
Long may Mick reign.
Hi all. Just wondering when the last time wolves finished above us, when weve been in the same league? Any ideas? Have some wolf mates who still seem to think they can gloat some weeks even though we've been above them most of the season. Hoping this will be my ultimate retort cone the end of the season ;D
Kevin Doyle's really good Arsenal are interested did you all know that?
theres a picture of it in the paper today , the police have got the DNA from the bottle but say may be hard to find a match with the imbreeding in staford :P
::) is that supposed to be inbreeding in Stafford? ::) the sooner a spell checker is up and running the better we give our visiting itinerants plenty of ammo
Agreed!! Or just get Google Chrome...
I have noticed that the Dingle dwellers have vanished!

January spending helped to keep us up last year.
We'll do the same this year hopefully. Off load Andy Keogh and Leigh Griffths,
£4.5million to spend.
Sounds like it'll be between you and us for Onuoha.
You may need to spend all that money just to get Onuoha by the sounds of things.
Apparently City want £4million for him but we're only willing to pay £3million according to sources so we'll see what happens...
Is he more of a right back or centre back?
Wolves are actually okay at right back with Zubar and Foley. You desperately need another quality centre half though. I personally wouldn't want him here for that much - he would command a hefty wage as well. We have Olsson and McAuley doing well at the moment - Tamas and Dawson are very good back up. We have Reid and Jones at right back so I don't think we are desperate in that department either.

I'll admit, I seem to be labelled as one of the 'happy clappers' but enough is enough, I think Mick's taken us as far he possible, there's nothing more he can do. If the club wanna move forward we need a new manager.

Cant stand them but hopefully there losing and the crowd starts getting on there back I will be loving it. Norwich hate Wolves aswell so hopefully give them plenty of stick.

couldn't bring myself to that at all
i couldn't go, apart from the Albion playing there, i have been there once to watch my elder brother Sunday league team play in a final and that was bad enough
Who do you believe you can realistically attract to take on the job and take you on to that next level with the squad you have?

So after tonight I will honestly never moan about our support after tonight. The players look literally scared to touch the ball as the fans get on there backs straight away, they were all nervous wrecks. And some of the stuff some of the people came out with around me they haven't got a clue about football...... seriously I was sitting on my hands when Norwich scored and had a few wierd looks after I burst out laughing when all the numpties was celebrating only to see the linesman to disallow an injury time goal.
I was top tier of Billy Wright right in middle so didnt have bad seats, dont think I would have like it in the South bank though.
They do look poor though, all to predictable and if Norwich converted there chances in the first 30 mins they could have been 3-4 down. They played abit better 2nd half. Roger Johnson though was terrible and I am glad we didnt sign him when everyone here was moaning looks like a good decision not to go for him.
more a trier than a talent
Jamie O Hara has been ruled out for 6 weeks.
Might have a big affect on them

QPR are better than Wigan, far better.
Wolves game with Arsenal will be on boxing day now.
Its been moved to the 27th now because of the Tube strikes.About time they put some proper comedy on the box xmas time!
Tell you something, reading the negativity on their forums and them moaning at how bad they're doing and how much they wish they had Hodgson etc is providing me with some tremendous laughter.

We were Pride of the Black Country last season and this season is still up for grabs!
Come on the Wolves
We drew last year and then they beat us how ever we finished higher than them so how exactly does that make them the pride of the black country, anybody?
I honestly can't believe they haven't overturned the red card. We may as well tell footballers not to bother attempting to tackle anymore if that is worthy of a three match ban.
As a Wolves supporter, thanks to those who've expressed their disbelief that the red card wasn't overturned...it's reassuring to know that decent supporters still understand the game even if referees like Atwell and the incompetent fools at the FA don't. I think from memory you've had poor decisions (Ibanez at Blackpool last year springs to mind) but to the FA we don't seem to count, it's all about getting Rooneys suspension reduced or bowing down to the big teams.
Going back to an earlier point, as an older supporter (50'ish!) I can recognise Wolves and Albion as similar sized teams with a great history, not stadiums filled with tourists like Arsenal or Man Utd. I've a lot of time for the way you run your club (again similar to ours), and despite being rivals I love it when you beat one of the big teams who think the Premier League is all about them! Despite the sending off on Tuesday it's nice to know there are a few clubs who don't dive and cheat and surround refs to get an opposition player sent off.
Good luck for 2012.

Theres some very fair posts on there,to be honest theres not as massive gap between us as with a number of other teams near us.Thin lines all the time imo.
Some of them dont half come out with some rubbish dont they.
Happpy new year Baggies!Happy new year to you mate
Here's to a good 2nd half of the season! (Hopefully)
Anyone been on the mix and seen the Sandwell thread ;D.
How thick are they? When they're above us in the league and consistently beating us, yes, then they can mock. We're not the ones on the brink of the relegation zone.
You guys always brighten my day even after yet another loss haha.
a bit like molinuex mix after we lose :D
Exactly. That's the way it is. Not a bad loss today tbh. This 2nd half of the season we need to get points against the teams around us. That's gunna be vital for both of us I think, although you guys are obviously in a better position at the moment.
i must admit i expected you lot to do a bit better this season, than what you are doingI did as well, espically after the start Wolves made to the season.

Great to hear that, heres hoping for the same scoreline next month.
No chance mate, we're out for revenge!
So are we after our gutless performance at the Molineux last season, granted you played well, but had we defended with a bit of sense and maturity we would of had a totally different game on our hands.
Roy won't let us lose twice at the Mol.
I'm hoping for a repeat of result like last season!
I have to completely agree though, it would have been a lot lot closer had you defended like I know you lot are capable of. I think being safe got to you guys and was a result of you dropping your performance on the day. I'm sure that won't be the case this time though as neither of us will be safe by that stage.
I'd also agree with that. We were also weakened with injuries and suspensions. Paul Scharner, Chris Brunt and Steven Reid who are normally important to us defensively, especially on set pieces were all missing and their replacements weren't up to much scratch. Had we had their height, we could possibly of defended them better.It should be mate, hopefully we would have picked up quite a few more points by then.
Should be tasty next month anyhow.
We could have easily turned it around to 3-3 in the second half.
Good block yes, not trying to take anything away from Olsson but that should have been bread and butter for even a striker like Doyle who doesnt score many
Couldn't believe he missed it to be honest! You had plenty of the ball in October and were quite toothless with it, bar the odd shot from the edge of the box and a few whipped crosses. I remember Elikes-Cake missing a sitter at 2-0. However, on the whole we looked much more threatening, Johnson nor Berra could cope with the pace or physical strength of Shane Long and Johnson can count himself lucky that he never received a red card when he hauled down Long when he would of been through on goal. I actually thought you were quite poor and a point would probably of flattered you.
Steve Morgan today revealed his backing for Wolves boss Mick McCarthy – but stressed results were “not acceptable” in the first half of the season.
Morgan maintains Wolves are not a “hire and fire” club in the light of Neil Warnock’s sacking at QPR, who are on the same points in the Premier League.
Wolves currently have one fewer than they had at the same stage last season, when they were bottom. But the Molineux chairman said results must improve.
“Had we played to our capabilities this season, we should be comfortably in mid-table,” said Morgan.
“We certainly expected to be making progress on last season and, in terms of a running average, we’re behind the pace so it has to be disappointing.
“The reality is, through a combination of one or two bad performances, one or two silly mistakes where one individual mistake has cost us points and some pretty atrocious refereeing decisions, we are where we are.
“We’ve got to address it – it’s not acceptable, completely not acceptable.
“We have to address it. We have to sort it. But we’re not bloody panicking or throwing money at the solution.
“We have to sort it within our existing means and policies.”
Morgan stressed Wolves remain patient with a policy of helping McCarthy as much as possible.
“We’re a stable club; our management style is to work through problems and not to make knee-jerk reactions which end up costing a bloody fortune and provide no stability and unsettles the whole club,” he said.
“It’s not the way I do things in any other business and it’s not the way we do things here. All I can comment on is Wolves and we’re not a hire-and-fire club.
“But at the same time we have to improve. Is there pressure on Mick? Of course there’s bloody pressure on Mick. But that’s the nature of the job – there’s pressure on everyone. Management is not for the faint-hearted.
“If things aren’t right, we just have to sort it. But we’ll sort them in our way.
“This club is about stability and long-term growth, longevity and taking the club forward.”

Mick has bigger things to worry about. Susp£kt (http://www.youtube.com/user/WVSuspect#p/u/24/7rU2EOdgk1M) wants him out: "MICK MCCARTHY OUT NOW!!! SACK THE PRICK, SACK THE PRICK, SACK THE PRICKKKKKK!!!!!"
All those capital letters and exclamation points! :o Mick had best sleep with one eye open.
Carnt see them getting anything tomorrow at Spurs.
We should have put a tenner on that.
great point for you well done
Well played to Wolves today, a lot of teams will go to Spurs to defend, annoyed me when the Spurs fans were saying Mick should have been ashamed.
Heard Mick having a right go at Harry on 5 live too.
wolves got lucky with an offside decision
what did he sayHarry wasnt happy as he saw the Wolves keeper down injured, but he saw him wink, Mick then said something along the lines of he must have really good eyes for a man of his age to see that.
Harry can talk, he winks more than any other human on the planet.class made me laugh that did ;D
Great result for Wolves, more or less what we were one slip away from achieving the other week.
Not that we are one to talk with cup attendances but 10,000 in a 35,000 seat stadium is going to look good isn't it ::)
Still difference is we know our potential with regards to our fan base and current ticket prices. Sadly Morgan just wanted to line his own companies pockets with a nice redevelopment plan.
I wonder if they will still continue with the next 'phase' of their development? 10,000 in a 55,000 seater anyone?

I bet people said the same the last time they redeveloped molineux. They were getting poor crowds back then. Build it and they will come
Seems that Morgan and Moxey are taking the p**s a bit with this ground redevelopment. Or maybe they realised the money would be better served making their team less sh*te. Either way they are not happy about it on the mix.
I doubt they expected to be entrenched in a relegation battle in their third successive season in the league having spent well on the squad each year, perhaps that has something to do with it.
I'd like to know what Frimpong has added to them. Hopefully one of the dings which comment on here frequently can comment on what he's been like.

Last night I couldn’t care less tbh. Now that may sound like an attempt of sour grapes but I really couldn’t and I think our attendance reflected that. This news has really got up my skin though. For the first time in his reign I am genuinely questioning his intentions.
Surely if they invest the money in the team to keep you up then its a chance worth taking? Reading on the mix earlier it seems as though some of your fans have only just realised that its not a sport anymore but a business.
But despite that, Morgan + Moxey really have made a pig’s ear of the whole situation.
I like him based on his two performances so far. He has a bit of everything in his locker and I’m sure he will go on to be a very decent player. He resembles Mulumbu in a way, certainly gets around the pitch like he does and also has quality on the ball too. The idea of him and Jamie in midfield gives me allot of hope.

You have to praise them on their result, not many teams go to White Hart Lane and pick up a point. Bit of inexperience from Craig Dawson cost us unfortunately. When I see Wolves I see a team with plenty of fight and that added touch of quality to take them to survival, providing they keep Fletcher fit.
They haven't spent that well, I read earlier that out of the XI that started their game at Spurs only four had been signed since they won the Championship. Imagine some of our lot if Peace started doing that.
They have spent big on the likes of Johnson, O Hara, Doyle, Fletcher and Hunt. All decent signings who'd get in our team Imo.

This is it though, if we spent £26.5m on 5 players i would expect them to be able to walk into the wolves team. Wolves do not make astute purchases. They always fall for the bait of signing over-priced players that have performed on big stages (Prem, Champ etc) They are often taken for a mug by other teams. Something we are not.
I am not opening a debate about which one of the these players are better but when you look at it they are of similar abilities.
Johnson (£7m) vs McAuley (£0)/Olsson (£800k)
O'Hara (£3.5m) vs Mulumbu (£110k)
Doyle (£6.5m) vs Long (£4.5m - maybe £6.5m)
Fletcher (£6.5m) vs Odemwingie (£2m)
But look at the differences in price. We are much better in the transfer market and i would expect if we had spent the additional £17m on players with our ability in the transfer market we would have a squad that could wipe the floor with theirs.
You do make a good point here but amongst the millions we've spent on these players we've got a few bargains and these bargains are some of our best players:
Jarvis from Gillingham (Undisclosed fee but can't imagine it being over £1million at the time)
Kightly from Grays (£25,000) - Made an instant impact when we signed him and although he's been injured a fair bit over the last few seasons he starting to get back in the first team.
Ward from Bohemians (£100,000) - Brought him as a striker, transformed him into a brilliant left back but still extremely versatile and can play attacking roles. Also regularly feature at international level for ROI now.
There just three to name... Hennessey came up through the youth team. Matt Doherty (also from Bohemians and signed for a very small fee) is young and looks like he can become a top defender.
My point here being, among the millions we've splashed out on the players you've named there are some bargains we managed to blag, it's the same with any team.
You make a good point too. You seem to maybe mix it up a bit in terms of astute purchases and big purchases. We only really do astute - out of contract or young or unknown or reserve team or lower league players. We dont go for those big names.
I do think our transfer policy and network is something that should be on envy to other clubs who pay big fees.
I must admit before the start of the season I didn't think much of Jones and McAuley, I was critical on here about them compared to Roger Johnson but I have to eat my own words and say they've certainly done the job for you so far and above what I certainly thought they'd bring to your squad (which wasn't much at the time).
Albion do seem to be quite good in the transfer market as you mentioned (Odemwingie, Long, Mulumbu, Jones, McAuley... and certainly Dorrens when you first signed him when in the Championship)
Moaning Dingles on the phone-in, love it.Im listening to moaning Stokeies, love it.
Frimpong out for 3 months, fractured cheek bone, henry off, misses 3 games. i believe he will miss the derby.

TRAITOR Keane…. how could he do this to us?? After all the support and encouragement we gave given him. Didn’t make the game today and on radio, Matt Murray imploring fans to give him a warm welcome. Welll…. LOL to that. Good on the guys who booed him, wish I had been there to join them. If he had signed for Villa (not on a loan spell from a ridiculous Yank team) I could understand his “Keane”ness to score but…. HE’S ON LOAN…. what difference does it make to him if he doesn’t score. NONE. And score he does…. to potentially send his old club down. Shame on him. As far as I am concernedd he is not welcome ever again at Molineux.
Heard frimpong Has eye injury no damage to jaw and has gone to hospital so could still play against us
"Oxley Wolf
January 21, 2012 at 5:41 pm
HOW MUCH MOORE CAN WE TAKE, SACK HIM NOW AND GET BULLY IN TO INSTALE SOME PASSHION. RIPPING SEASON TICKET UP, SHOVE YOUR EARLY BIRD WERE THE SUN DONT SHINE"
Is this an Albion fan on the wind up or a genuinely serious suggestion?
In fairness having seen extended highlights today Wolves played well,im afraid Henry cost them that game although Albrighton makes a meal of it!.Dont underestimate them.
As Mick said a few days ago... We've got to stop being heroic losers. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses but if we play like we did in the first half today then I'm sure results will come... Although there's a bit of a gap forming, two results can change that or at least close it. I don't think we should be ruled out of staying up yet going by the manner of some of the other posts.
What will happen is this? We'll keep Mick (The board are too cowardly to sack him), we'll pick up the odd win and a few draws and hopefully come the end of the season it'll be enough to secure prem status for a 4th season running.
I disagree Divinewind. I think McCarthy is just an ok manager who is very restricted tactically.
You talk him up - and yes, he did well in achieving promotion but you missed out a crucial factor: Finances. It's no secret the Wolves have had a lot of money pumped into them. Even upon promotion they had the likes of SEB who costed a few million. My point is: Yes - McCarthy did well in achieving promotion, but ever since he's stood still. He's been unable to improve a squad and 3 seasons in is arguably worse than he was 3 seasons back. This comes with a host of new players all costing big money.
Regardless of his past, this is now. McCarthy has failed to build on his team with big finances at his disposal.
On another note, I said it in this thread after the Blues game at St Andrews - the Wolves are in big trouble.
You people are never satisfied until you have hounded and destroyed a good manager.
You seem to forget that when McCarthy arrived at Moulinex you were struggling with debt,couldn't afford a reserve side,had a squad of about 18 players and relegation back to the third tier was very much a possibility.
With a small squad and shrewd signings he got you into the play offs in his first season,when you dipped a bit the following season some of you wanted him out then.Unbelievable.
The next season he won you the championship,and he has kept you in the Premiership with what is really a championship squad.
A workman can only work with the tools he has been given.He has done a cracking job for you.
And you want him out and talk about getting in managers of the calibre of Mourinho,O'Neill or Hughes. ;D
Who do you think you are?
You will do well to attract the likes of O'Driscoll or Cotterill.
What manager who is any good is going to put his career on the line by going to Moulinex to be insulted and abused by "numpties"? :P
I agree with that mate. But who would you want, and who would you think would do what Roy had done to us last season.
Thats true who is there out there, that would keep you up and then take you to the next level.
It's as simple as this... why keep a manager who's taken the club as far as he can? Yes, we appreciate he's done a fantastic job for us as we were tipped for relegation from the championship when he began he reign but there's nothing more he can do.
I really like Mick, I think he's an honest manager who doesn't really make excuses for poor performances etc but he's got to go now I think.
I think your post was quite unfair but hey, your opinion. You guys sacked Di Matteo and Roy's come in and doing a great job. Why aren't we allowed to do the same?
I wonder if Hughton would be interested?
They could get Warnock to make the rivalry have that extra little spice!

What was that Albion fan on abouit, we had just won at Stoke, which is like winning at Man Utd for us.
Love it when Lee phones Tom Ross, says what he has to say, doesn't let Tom reply then goes tra Tom
that lee is an absolute moron! cant stand him and i cant believe tom ross lets him live on air. all he does is shout and moan. horrible guy >:(
LEE is great listning he dont stop for a breath and he dont go up there either tom ross loves him :D
Its going to be hard for Wolves. It was looking like a bottom 5 were emerging. With a 5 point gap below us to 16th. Then QPR got Hughes and are being ambitious in the transfer market so i think they will pull themselves out of it.
There is now a 7 point gap below us to the relegation zone. Any team can get dragged into it (including us) but its looking like it going to be 3 out of 4 to get relegated. Wolves, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton. Take your pick. I think Wigan will go but who knows out of the other three? But looking at it, if it is out of those 4, Wolves (or any other of the 4) only have a 25% chance of survival.
I'm still not counting chickens yet
It depends for me on who the dogs would like to appoint. Would they go for someone like Gus Poyet or even Nigel Adkins? A complete different change in the style of football, however, with that would have to see a change in the squad surely. Wolves are a team which are built on industry and desire rather than creativity. Not saying Wolves don't have any quality players as that would be naive to say the least but there's no doubting that first and foremost McCarthy prefers his hard workers above his more creative players.
I look at players like Milijas and Guediora (who I'm yet to see have a bad game) and I'm thinking to myself why aren't they starting more often. Especially when you have someone like Steven Fletcher who appears to be going through a period where he can't stop scoring goals. However, from an Albion point of view I'd rather Mick rely on those workhorses such as Henry and Dave Edwards.
This sounds horrible reading it from an Albion perspective. To end this point I've rabbled on about, in my opinion, there's nothing out there for Wolves to replace McCarthy with, and whoever it is will not only cost money but will certainly want a few more players with certain qualites other than being a hardworker, again costing more money.
What has happened to O'Hara? I thought he was only supposed to miss a couple of games but seems to have been out for a fair while now.
He keeps having set-backs which is a shame. He's a player who I think can make an impact so want him back asap! (2 more weeks apparently)
Hennesey seems to throw a goal in every two games from what i see, very overrated imo.
Really? Arguably their best player along with Stephen Ward this season, saves them more than he costs them. Sunderland, Arsenal and Spurs spring to mind.
That group actually dates back to the 07/08 season!
Adlene Guerdiora has joined Nottingham Forest on loan.
That is a strange move, I know he doesn't seem to be getting much of a game at the moment but he has always looked a tidy player to me.
That is a strange move, I know he doesn't seem to be getting much of a game at the moment but he has always looked a tidy player to me.
I have to agree. He's something different to what they have. Whenever I've seen him play I've thought he looked a very talented player. I guess we should just be grateful that Wolves have lost what seems a quality player. Hopefully someone like Eggert Jonsson gets more game time! :D
Surpsied they let him, go always looked a decent player to me.
Big game tonight
He is a good player but I think it's the right move. There's no point in him just sitting on the bench every game.Your right there mate, I think tonight is a must win for you lot.
Huge game tonight.
They will beat us though i have that feeling!
Dorrans,Thomas,Morrison,Odemwingie,and Long are going to rip them apart on the break.
They always start games well at molineux but if we weather the early storm and score first we'll comfortably win the game IMO.
All about the start. IF (and its a big IF) Micks still in charge then I hope we show more desire than last time we played at their place.
I don't know what they have against Morgan, spends money every summer (about 20m the first year and second year and about 10m this year) and they pretty much always get good loans on presumably high wages.
All this when they never really sell anyone for a decent fee.
They are two talented players but they both have their drawbacks.
Frimpong is very young and a relegation battle is a testing time for even the most hardened and senior pros.
Bassong has hardly played any football in the last couple of years - there must be serious questions over his match fitness. When will he be fit enough to play? I obviously hope it will be after our fixture. :D
frimpong has been by far their best player since signing in the games ive seen (3)
I've heard that, although new signing especially young ones tend to start brightly e.g Hammil last season.
Any idea how he played tonight?
Any idea how he played tonight?
best player again. did give the ball away for one of the goals though.
Anonymous apparently. Hes young and will have one good game and one bad. I'm looking forward to seeing him up against Mulumbu. Now thats going to be a battle.
My Wolves mate just text me:
"We need a good centre back and a full back, centre mid and forward. Pretty much a new player for every position."
Made me laugh. :D
I think they would happily take Keith Andrews.
If things dont imporve soon Mick aint going to be here for much longer.
If they do get rid of Mick then who they replace him with really? If he takes them down then Mick knows how to get out that league. It's a toughie for them.
Fletcher didnt do a great deal last night, I think that they should have brought in another striker.
Their up and coming game against us is probably bigger than the game last season for them.I feel so good we have a good away record
itll be huge im confident of a win but bassong and frimpong are very good signings!

There not even yours

I like Mick McCarthey but I believe it would be the right decision to change managers now.
They have the players to stay up, no doubt about that. Fletcher and Doyle are good strikers, Frimpong and Bassong are good loan signings and O'Hara, Jarvis, Hunt and Johnson could be fist team players in a bottom 10 championship side.
Statistics show changing a manager half way through a season can help you stay up and so I think with Mccarthey having failed to take any premier league club forward in the last ten years they should probably take a risk and go for somebody else.
Hopefully though, they stick with him - take up one of the relegation spots :D.
Had a scan on a knee injury, haven't revealed the results yet as far as I know.
I think im going to lock myself away for a week.
Feel sorry for the player because he looks class but cant stop laughing at the moment.
Interesting indeed if he is out along with Henry, most certainly make it easier for us i would have thought
Frimpong out for season. Massive blow for the inbreds
Frimpong out for season. Massive blow for the inbredsThat's DENCHHHHHHH
Shame I was looking forward to a Mulumbu v frimpong battle, looks a decent player and was doing well for Wolves . Big blow for them.
Im delighted he's not playing but at the same time gutted that such a talented young player has such a bad injury.
Not nice.
No problem he's out although he did make a good impact while briefly with us.
Hennessey
Foley - - - - Johnson - - - - Bassong - - - - Ward
Kightly - - - - O'Hara - - - - Edwards - - - - Jarvis
- - - - Doyle - - - -
- - - - Fletcher - - - -
That'll hopefully be the team for Sunday. :D
(Or if Kites isn't fit then Edwards will take right mid and SEB will either be behind or alongside Fletch)
At times this season we have been without; Mulumbu, Olsson, Scharner, Reid, Thomas, Odemwingie, Gera and Long and we are still 6 points clear of the drop.
Imagine what state the Wolves would be in if they lost the likes of Fletcher, Doyle, Jarvis, Foley and Ward? With that in mind I don't think we have done too badly this year and I am certainly more confident going into Sunday knowing that they are without one of their best players.

Wow, well done for beating a team already on their jollies, at home.
One win for you in Sandwell since 1983. 16 years since that solitary victory. Forever in our shadows, whatever happens Sunday.
Not really as we had nothing to play for, I expected the complete holiday performace that we gave and it was your cup final as always.
The 'forever in our shadows' was a personal highlight. Too good.
Glad you enjoyed it.
One win away at "Sandwell Town" since 1983, the last one being 16 years ago.
Recent victories against us include a 3-1 win when we had already secured our Premiership status and were already on the beach, the other a 1-0 win when your goalkeeper was man of the match.
The 2001-02 season when you bottled an eleven point lead.
The season we beat you four times, including two wins in the playoffs to reach Wembley and a win in the FA Cup when we sat in your seats. In total that season we scored ten goals against you.
We may be closely matched in terms of league status and the pecking order in general of English football, but how anyone could ever claim that your recent record against Albion is nothing short of abysmal is ludicrous.
Lloydy..... shhhhhh. Save it until monday!!! :D
in relation to the game. Whoever scores first will win it.
I never claimed anything mate...Not really. Just another away match. :-*
Sunday is huge.
In case anyone missed it:
Wulfs 1 ALBION 5 (FIVE)
Wonderful ring to it and a great day to be a Baggie - enjoy! 8)
Nothing hurts, not with where we are at the moment... Things for our club are looking great:
Stadium re-development
Great players with awesome potential still (Jarvis, O'Hara, Johnson (but getting on a bit), Fletcher, Kightly if he can regain his old form, etc etc)(waiting for the herds of abuse from this comment now)
Great chairman, cheif executive and manager who are working well and doing the business.
Top sponser in SportingBet.
Fletcher doesn't waste time passing the ball with his backside and looking fancy, he just bangs in the goals... no messing about. 10 in 15 for him. I think Fletch will honestly finish ahead of Long this season in number of goals.
To be fair, he deserves to play for a Premier League club.
agree, even if wolves stay up, i think he will go to a bigger club
Can't wait for 6 points from you guys :D
We took 4 last season, it's time to take another 2 on top of that. :P
To be fair, he deserves to play for a Premier League club.
As I saw on facebook earlier.
Stafford 1 Black Country 5
wonder if there still dreaming of playing european football, in their 40,00 seater ;D

After our heroics today what do you think? would you rather them stay up for the six points next season? will Wolves be in the bottom three come the end or will they bring in a new man to turn it round... just had a quick skim read on their forum 99% of them have had it with mcarthy.
http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=Potters&action=display&thread=185911&page=1This is great! Stoke fans cheering on the baggies ha
;D
I agree with Rowley, Dave. I wouldn't say he's a bad keeper at all and is generally quite good. However, he is over-rated by their fans. I mean, yes - he is capable of a few wonder-saves and as said, for the most part he's decent, but he also has some big errors in his locker. I mean, look at the Man City game for instance, he kept it 0-0 for a good 45 minutes by himself, then let in a howler. He did the same to a lesser extent vs Vela at our place last year. He's capable of the very good and very bad. Basically he's a better Scott Carson.
There two decent loan players both injured, that Jonnson hasnt done too well either.
People say he made some good saves but that's pointless if you chuck two in.
If he were Carson last season he'd be lynched.

"Since promotion in 2009, Wolves have been in the top six of net spenders, forking out £48m on 18 permanent transfers, while recouping just £7m in sales"
That's staggering really. And makes their inability to sustain a relatively comfortable position bewildering quite frankly. Oh where we could be with £48m of funds to spend.
nobody has mentioned karl robinson at mk dons, got wolves connections. whack your money on him. & couple of rumours they'll only get a manager in till the end of the season which i can't see the likes of warnock/bruce accepting.
To be fair to McCarthy, five and a half years is a decent stint for a manager nowadays.
Curbishley- A manager who quit his post at West Ham and then sued them for constructive dismissal. Sounds like a recipe for disaster :)
Where's Merlin Mick gone?! He's been quiet lately, anybody know why? ;D
It was Carl Robinson who used to play for Wolves.
Some of you guys have made me feel like a celebrity! Ha.
Shame I can't change my username!
Sunday - You guys were 100x better, I admit that... You deserved the win and got it, fair play.
We've dropped into the relegation zone by goal difference but I believe if we were to get Curbishley then he could steer us to safety. Yes, he's been out of the game for a number of years but why can't he do the job again? People are writing him off saying he's past it? He's been out of management for a number of years but has done a lot of punditry so he's always been involved with the game since West Ham. Curbs done a fantastic job at Charlton and not too bad at West Ham either before he resigned.
I loved Mick, he'd done so much for the club from when he took over but his time had come to an end, there was nothing else he could do, his tactics sometimes were out of this world. We've got some great looking players in Hammill, Milijas, Doherty etc but they were never given the chance as Mick had his favourites, hopefully now things will change for better!
We'll wait and see what happens.
i think if you get curbishley, you will stay up, bruce or warnock im not sure
I'm praying to God every night we don't get Bruce or Warnock! Their as shocking as each other and I hate Warnock with a passion! I don't know what it is but his face genuinely makes me angry!
Hello, 15 year old wolves fan here. :D
Got tickets for my first BCD on Sunday and it had to be the day when you go and thrash us didn't it? We played poor throughout the whole game but to be fair right from the kick-off you wanted to win the game and you played well as well. I just knew Keith Andrews would score.
I think you're safe now and it's gotta be 3 from 5. As for our appointment? It's got to be Curbishley for me. Kept West Ham up and finished Mid-table with Charlton for years, only problem is he's been out of the game for quite a while. Stupid decision to sack Mick though, what we have we got? 13 games left? If we were going to sack him it should've been earlier. Feel sorry for Mick though, from what we were when Hoddle left to what we are now is quite remarkable.
Later.
Sending Guedioura out on loan tells you everything ya need to know about Mick McCarthy,
the bloke hasnt got a clue when it comes to Premiership football.
The next Wolves manager should be an experienced guy like Nigel Worthington,
someone who can get back to basics.
Most Albion fans also hate Warnock and tbh I don't think he is that fond of us either !!! Curbishley could possibly do the same for you as Hodgson did for us at this time last season - steady the ship, improve morale, and improve the general organisation of the side. From what I saw on Sunday, these 3 things are what are needed short term if you are to avoid the drop. I also think you will get him as he looks the best available option for the job that needs doing. Of course, being biased, Warnock would be very funny from our point of view but I am resigned to Curbishley who I think will do a decent job for you.
Why would he leave a club looking good for promotion to the premier league, for a club who are facing a huge battle against relegation?

The worst thing is that WBA are a poor side with average players. On paper, we are so much better than them.
Remember when they sacked Di Matteo to get Hodgson in. Brave leadership to get a better man in. Whereas we freeze in the headlights.
WBA - Better than Wolves in every way for a decade now. Makes me want to puke.
By pessimistic Wolf.
Is this man serious? I've never laughed so much in my life. It's funnier than their defence!
By Bull Army
Least this fella has some sense.
We are poorer side that has 8 more points than them.
The first thing the new Wolves manager needs to do is get
Guedioura back and have him playing the holding position with Hunt
Hennessey
Zubar
Johnson
Berra
S.Ward
Jarvis
Hunt
Guedioura
O`Hara
Hammill
Fletcher.
According to Sky Curbishley has been offered the job and turned it down.

.
Ha Ha Ha; Potato Head it is then.
Seriously though; if Curbs has turned down the dogs-heads he must have an overinflated opinion of himself or not want to get back into management. I can't see any bigger clubs offering him a managers job.
The thing is, Mr Potato Head now is second choice, and knows it, will he take it!
Imagine if he now turns them down....you have to wonder what their board actually are like.
Bully might be next on the list
Well Curbishley works at Sky on a Monday so I would expect them to have spoken to him before announcing it earlier, who knows ? who cares ? :D
Curbishley has said on Twitter the rumours are false, Sky Sports News obviously needed something to talk about this afternoon.
Boooooo !!!!!!!!! :D Still wants the job then I guess
Sky had plenty to talk about to be honest, they had a feature about some team winning the LMA Performance of the Week award after destroying another team last Sunday by a 1-5 scoreline, any ideas who ?? :o
Apparently potato head has turned them down! This is hilarious, we want Bull! ;D
On Talk Sport last night Colleymore said he had heard from a reliable source that Morgan was going for David Moyes!
I heard on talk sport they wanted Moyes, now way on earth would he go there.
I heard on talk sport they wanted Moyes, now way on earth would he go there.
What will happen first? Johnsons clearance re entering earths orbit or them appointing a manager?
Where on earth is the next generation of British managers? Bruce and Curbishley? Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
Until something's official I think it's wrong to say Curbs and Bruce have turned us down as we don't know the truth. Also to say Hughton turned us down is wrong, he was linked and then took himself out of the running but we never offered him the job.
I'm holding out for Curbs still but we'll see happens.

OK...I´ll do it. I´m a bit strapped for cash at the mo, but needs be. I´ve no experience, so I´m perfect for the position. Nothing less than a five year contract though. 8)
Did you just say "mowbray" and "improve the defence" ?
I so truely hope the D1ngle5 come to an agreement with Bruce...... :P
I would so laugh :)
Would be interesting IF he was to come to us then keep us up...

I did laugh what you said about Hughton - he was linked and took himself out the running, so basically turned you down :)
In seriousness though I know the 5-1 was the final nail for Mick but sacking him was silly as there's no better alternatives.
I suppose bringing someone in lesser than Mick or equal to him will silence the people who didn't like him. It's all good sacking your manager when theres someone better out there (Hodgson) but is there really better now?
Didn't 'turn us down' because there was never an offer on the table for him. Was speculation.
Why do people hark on about us beingbigger? In what way? Crowds are about 5% better, honours are fairly even, and over the last 20 years we hav ebeen in their shadow on the pitch!
Wake up and smell the coffee. Sorry but that is the way it is.

There's more than ever IMO, plenty of teams in the championship giving young managers a chance as oppossed to the bigger more established names, just look at Swansea and Norwich.

apparently now Wolves and Brighton couldnt reach an agreement
who will the manager be
If thats true I might hand my application in as there's hardly anybody left :D
Getting closer to Iain Dowie and Phil Brown surely?!
The problem is though I dont think an inexperienced manager will be given the time by the fans.
The Reading manager has done a good job, but he has no Premiership experaince.
We are a bigger club.There arent too many teams in England , who have had titles such as "pioneers of European football ".Wolves were known as "World-beaters".
I think only Wolves , Man utd and Liverpool have ever been repected as a British team that are one of the worlds best football teams.Chelsea havent, Arsenal havent and tescos certainly havent.
lambert...rodgers...Ok those managers have done great,but there wasnt loads of pressure on them as not many people exptected them to do well, who ever goes to Wolves needs to make an imapct right away.
We dominated world football.We are known throughout the footballing world as the pioneers of European football.
We are not called sleeping giants for nothing.
We have been recognised as the worlds greatest football club,
It would be dilusional if it wasnt true.But it is true.

on twitter from the reading reporter, that wolves met with mcdermott tonight
Haha, You've got to laugh,
http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=68910
This is so funny.
Brian Mcdermott favorite this morning
He is meeting Readings new Russian owners this morning, probably just playing a game of brinkmanship to up his contract, he has become a very well respected manager, I doubt Reading will want to lose him, so I suspect the Dogheads are heading for another rejection!He has done a great job at Reading, I hope he doesnt go there too.
Hope so! :D
To highlight how stupid the merrygoround is wasn't Brendan Rogers sacked and replaced my Macdermott?
Reading manager signs a new contract to stay.Whats the matter are Wolves not that attractive a club anymore
anything official ?
Sounds like it might be McDermott afterall
Reported on WM that Curbishley was offered the job on a 21/2 year deal, he turned the job down because he only wanted a 13 game deal initially so that he could bale out if it all went wrong ;D
So lets get this right, so far:
Rejected by Curbishley
Rejected by McDermott
Won't pay for Poyet
Begged Curbishley again but rejected again.
All before Steve Bruce. I wouldn't be surprised if he told them to stuff the job either after he's basically been shown to be at best 4th choice. If they really wanted him he'd have the job by now, make no mistake, its a real panic appointment if he gets it.
they'll scrape a draw at weekend and then leave TC in for rest of the season
I hope they get battered 5-1 again
Peter Reid thet are getting desperate.
Walter smith now being linked.The football manager or the Butchers?
Did well at rangers but the football was woefull about as entertaining as tooth ache! But with the players wulfs have they would be suited to his way of play or should i say lack of it
If, and it's a big IF we stay up now it'll be so much sweeter after these last few pages.
(I do realise this may come back to haunt me and I'm willing to take that)
Many of us including myself were very sceptical of bringing in a technical director but Dan Ashworth would not have allowed us to get into this situation.
When appointing Mowbray's successor, we quickly drew up a short list of 2. As soon as Irvine turned us down
Easily pleased merlin aint ya?
Why's that? I don't care about the derby day defeats now, survival is the key and if that happens then I'm happy.

Of course you care merlin, battered and humiliated by your local rivals on national tv. All propective managers telling you to stick it, work stopped on your super dooper stadium, bottom three.
Doesnt get much worse does it, unless you can cap it by getting relegated as well.
Survival is all that matters. You were 100x the better side and deserved the wins against us, fair play.
Hear they're flying in Kevin Muscat for an interview???

Would you really want them up there? I wouldn't say I'm particularly bothered in honesty, I've enjoyed our past few games against the Villa a lot more than the BCD. Last sundays victory bringing a bit of derby passion back to it. I've seen us walk over Wo1ve5 so many times I don't think I'm bothered about them in the PL. They could happily languish in those lower leagues with Walsall and I don't think I'd be bothered. Plus, I know quite a few vile fans and it's always a pleasure to wind them up. Having said this, I'll always enjoy watching them struggle and making a completely mockery out of everything.

I feel very similar to you Liam, beating the dingles just seems like something we always do these days.
Maybe its to do with where you live, I live in the heart of vile country now, so it gives me greater enjoyment beating them, plus when I was about your age the dingles were in the old FORTH division & we didn't play them for years (probably going to happen again soon).
Back then our main rivals were the vile, so that will always be personally my biggest derby, be interesting to know how many of us Baggies hate the vile or the dingo's the most.

The Interview:
Morgan: (Reading from Terry Connor's clipboard) "Let me first make it clear this club is a project Alan, er, I mean Steve. It's a self-sustaining entity, a testament to sound business practice. It's about long-term vision and building for the future. We believe in a gradual, patient progress founded on the ethics of honest labour. It's the Wolves DNA."
Moxey: (yawns) "Hi Steve." (offers Bruce his KFC bucket)
Bruce: "Thanks Jez." (takes two pieces from Jez's KFC bucket; a drumstick and a thigh)
Morgan: (sounds of munching in the background) "I've had a good look at your CV Steve. I know you're not a novice and you've done some good things at Wigan and Sunderland.
Moxey: "We need somone who's got an appetite. Someone who's you...er..someone who's hungry."
Morgan: "You've got all the attributes, you're you...er..are...hungry, got proven experience in the Premier League; there is however just one tiny issue that could prove a stumbling block."
Bruce: (wipes his lips) "What could that be?"
Morgan: "Tell him Jez."
Moxey "You tell him. I had to tell Mick last week" (irritated at the loss of his chicken thigh)
Morgan: "Erm, er, well in short, we've got a few rotten apples amongst our supporters. I read an Express and Star poll today and i've been on Molineux Mix - I'm afraid the fans well, 50,000 it seems er,....."
Moxey: "The fans are being fickle. They complain about the food, the prices, the seats. Full of bile and negativity. They think we're a big club. Don't worry about them Steve, they're a bunch of ungrateful bolsheviks."
Morgan: (chuckling) "You could say I'm a red too."
Bruce: "They think I've got a big-head haven't they? It's my big...."
Morgan: "Let's move on. Ok Steve, can you tell me how much you'd need to finish 17th next season?"
Bruce: "I would say £20 million. You've gotta spend to stand still these days. I could bring in Gardner, er..."
Morgan: (Bursts into hysterics) "Blimey Steve, do I look like a Russian oligarch?. We only need an extra point more than last season. That would constitute the clear progression we're aiming for."
Moxey: (frowning) "Do you mind if I make a phone-call?"
Bruce: "I thought this was an interview. You said i ticked all the boxes."
Moxey: "Hi there, is that Gus? Gus how much do you think you need to finish 17th next season?"
Poyet: (in a crackly phone voice) "Maybe, er £15 million. I could also teach Henry to pass the ball. Forwards."
Moxey: "Blimey Gus, do I look like an oil sheikh? How about £10 million?"
Poyet: (hangs up)
Morgan: "That bald guy at reading. He runs a tight ship; have you got his number Jez?"
Bruce: "This is my interview!" (face getting redder)
Moxey: "Hi there, is that Brian? How much do you think you need to finish 17th next season?"
MacDermott: (crackly phone voice) "I think £10 million and a couple of Irish lads."
Moxey: "Blimey Brian, do I look like a bejewelled, indian poultry tycoon?"
Morgan: "Chuck him a new-build, 4-bedroom, mock tudor at Compton. It's got a walk-in wardrobe."
MacDermott: "I'll talk to my agent. I'll call you."
Bruce: "This is just plain disrespectful guys. I'm off."
Morgan: "Ah, c'mon Steve mate, I'll offer you a 5-bedroom....Steve? Don't go Steve...."
Moxey: (sits in bemused silence)
Morgan: "Ok, Jez, what's Big Ron doing these days? And when you leave, can you look at oddschecker and get a price on Barry Fry?"
"Walter Smith has turned down the Wolves job. More on site soon... #WWFC":o Looks like its down to the tea-lady or the kit-man then???
Just off the SSN Twitter.
www.bbc/news.co.uk : 2.67 million unemployed in the uk. there has to be someone out there prepared to take on this job.
maybe they could offer a few more incentives for prospective managers!
Free dental, 6 weeks holidays, insurance, help with settling in the area, ya no that kind of thing.
any other creative suggestions to help our friendly neighbours out?
I'll do it. I could quite easily get them relegated. :D
Just seen Steve Bruce in the holiday shop ...
It wasnt first choice .....
Seriously, does anyone have any inside info about what is happening behind the scenes? It must be panic stations I would have thought. Doesnt look very likely that they will have someone in place for the Newcastle game now. If they win, I can see them sticking with what they have got until the end of the season, because it is getting seriously embarrassing for them getting turned down by all and sundry.
Yes.... At the moment looks like terry will be in charge until the end of the season. According to a "very close source"

Had to be shared ;D
It was funny yesterday but it's starting to get cringy now. I'm starting to feel the same emotions the Albion fans in the late 80's must have felt when the Wolves fans came around with their Save the Wolves buckets.
We should start a game - guess the next manager to turn the Wolves down :D. I reckon Mark McGhee.
Delighted Walter Smith has turned them down. I now have no reason to lose any respect I have towards him.
I actually feel sorry for Mick as he has obviously been working for two absoloute clowns throughout his tenure and seems to be the fall guy for their incompetence.
I was going to say he may well be having a wry smile about this, but being a very genuine football man who is extremely loyal to his players (he's taken more than enough bullets for individuals under performing) i doubt he takes any pleasure in it at all.
The stupidest thing of all is that the best man for the job is McCarthy himself.
I agree Matt its very embarrassing for the owners and chairman that they have been turned down this many times and has to be down to the way they are going about. it. That was terrible performance against us though and i think he had to go although as always the players are partly to blame.
Makes you appreciate the excellent job JP has done in keeping us stable and appointing the right man.
Even these lot can see the funny side.

i just have a feeling he'll have enough to keep em up. been looking all over their boards(dont know why), but they are finding strength in the success stories of the likes of hughton and ricky sbragia who took over from the previous manager and kept their clubs up. lescott also has said he keeps connor in high regard. maybe itll be a chance for connor to employ his set of tactics.

Ricky Sbragia a success story? He had a win percentage of 23% (his premier league win record is even worse)! He got less points than games - he very nearly relegated Sunderland. Promoting from within rarely works in the premier league - there's been far more disasters, and only a handful of success stories. Being a coach is very different to being a manager - look at massively respected coaches like Sammy Lee, dreadful manager.fair point, maybe not sbragia then :p i think they are just looking for crumbs of comfort over there in what has been a fairly mediocre appointment tbh.
Still, he COULD do well, just as Pardew surprised us all at Newcastle. But Its fairly clear he's a last resort - they've gone from saying they wanted an experienced manager and it wasn't a job for a beginner, to hiring someone with no experience whatsoever. They've basically gambled that Connor turns out to be competent.
Last resort springs to mind. "everyone has turned us down mox let's just appoint someone who won't. Welcome terry Connor to the room"
They look delighted.....

When asked what the players would be calling him, Conner replied "TC, you have to earn the name Gaffer or manager". He came across as a nice man actually, almost want him to succeed having seen his interview. Very humble throughout.
I feel sorry for Connor, because the Dingles will have very little patience, one bad result and they'll be right on his back. Although he's in a no lose situation really. If Wolves get relegated as expected, he can just say he inherited a poor squad and he was the 6th choice to take over, if they stay up he'll be a hero amongst the fickle morons.
Terry is a very nice bloke, took me to the wolves Liverpool game a few weeks ago, yes i was there when the chairman had a pop at the team!.... Terry is regarded highly by many, however I'm not sure Moxey and Morgan are!...
Oh Please! whats all this out pouring for Terry Conner, here is a man given a job as second in command by Mick McCarthy & the relationship between them looked like they were brothers.
So MM gets the sack & instead of TC growing a pair & going with him (voluntarily), what does he do? puts his head down hoping the brush misses him as it goes by.
I've got one word for him, GUTLESS, no loyalty towards a man who knows about football, instead choosing to take the 40 pieces off Krusty & Ronald.
I would imagine Morgan won't be going into the dressing room again, because he will already have told TC what to say.
Terry Connor-Nice bloke? Do me a favour..... Steve Keanesque, as Oscar Wylde said "Real friends stab you in the front".
Mate, Terry Connor's been at the club 13 years so you got that one wrong. Sorry lad. :-*
Wonder if Connor will bring in Mick as his no 2! ;DI wonder if MM has actually been "sacked" or just moved into the back ground with Conner as the front man relaying Micks instructions to the players whilst stroking a white persian cat with a blue and white encrusted precious stone studded collar on (the cat not agent Mick).

so if you had been at a club for 13 or so years, had your family settled locally and were happy at the club you would just follow the gaffer out? Even though he was there before Mick, he knew all along there was a chance of him getting the job, so why walk out on that? he's waited a long time to be a no.1 so why would he turn it down? Even if he knows he may not be there in the summer he will of gained valuable premier league experience! And as for the " Terry-Connor nice bloke" attack, I'll have you know he's one of the nicest blokes I know so don't give your harsh words on something you know nothing about!

The fact that you know Connor doesn't make him a nice bloke, that's just your perception & that's fine.
Friendship, IMO should superseed everything, whenever I saw them after games they would always celebrate/commiserate with each other before anyone else, they seemed very close.
I don't really give a s**t about Connor, the fact he was 5th, 6th or 10th choice shows he has no dignity, he's took the 'Judas' money & that won't be lost on Wolves fans, unless he keeps them up.....we'll see.
McCarthy will probably crop up in another job somewhere & I would imagine the first call he would of made, would of been to his old mate clipboard but as we know that ain't going to happen now.
:D Come on. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Concede the point and move on.
I doubt Mick would want Connor to quit for his sake, if they truly are that close. If I were Mick, I'd be chuffed that my mate Terry finally got his chance at the big time.
As for Connor's loyalty, Mick hasn't been signing his paychecks. What kind of employee would Connor be if he quit at the exact moment his employer needed him most? "Loyal" isn't the adjective that comes to mind.
Please accept my apology if my opinion sounds ridiculous to you, I obviously don't have your literary skills (misspent youth) but I write how I feel & if that inspires you to respond in a negative way to my posts, then so be it, personally I prefer to give my opinions as a response to situations, as apposed to just highlighting other posts & criticising them consistently (like some cheeky monkeys do on this site)

Yet you interviewed around 5 other candidates before even thinking about Connor permanantly...
It's a bit daft expecting a guy who was there long before Mick to go when Mick leaves. TC has every right to stay and every right to take the job. Good luck to him.
Interviewed, yes? Offered, no.Yes and I walked in to the bank 5 times with a gun but because I didnt shoot anyone am I not an armed robber ??
I think saftey is more than likely for us, especially looking at how poor the teams below us are doing.
Absolutely delighted with this appointment. Once again Wolverhampton Wanderers are blazing a trail and pushing back boundaries. Very proud to be a Wolves fan right now, almost as much as when I witnessed my great club defeat the mighty Budapest Honved, restoring some much needed pride in England football.
Terry Connor has my full support, and whatever happens, the beautiful game has received a much needed boost at a time when vile, ignorant prejudice is still rife in this country and particularly overseas. As one of the all time great clubs in football with a high profile playing in the Premier League, this decision sends out a strong message worldwide. I think, as a country, we can all have reason to be proud.
Best of luck in your match against Sunderland.

I also think Moxey is talking s***. I hate the slimeball. But hey ho, great results for both teams today! You lot are probably safe now (I assume you don't want Hodgson out any more? ;)) and we played brilliant today. You never know, Terry Connor could be the next Chris Hughton. I look forward to Fulham.
Proud to be a Wolves fans? Come on, admit it, you feel a little humiliated by the last 2 weeks. Starts with a hammering at home to your local rivals and ends with a ridiculous situation where your owners promise an experienced managed as "a novice wouldnt be suitable" and then proceed to hire your assistant manager as tou get turned down by half the LMA.
It is great that a black manager gets a chance in the game of course and especially somebody who comes across as well as Conner does but f*** me the last 2 weeks have been a shambles ;).
if you beat fulham, i wonder if wolves fans will still disagree with the terry connor appointment
Damage limitation. Admit it, you know yourself that you were turned down by a number of managers, probably including Steve Bruce in the end.
Wolves play Blackburn soon , that game is going to be huge.
Baggies fans just never listen do they?
You are pretty naive if you believe any of the bull**** that comes out of Moxey or Morgan's mouths.
You just believe the tabloids instead? Just as naive as I apparently am then.
Not really, any man and his dog could see what a farce the entire process was you went through. That's if you can even call it a process.
You wanted an experienced manager and you've ended up with an inexperienced assistant?
How on earth between that statement been made about experience and TC been appointed have you gone to the other end of the spectrum?
Or is it just me?
I stand by my statement.
You would make a good 3rd man in the Moxey and Morgan relationship then. Stubborn and clueless :) :)
Ironic.

Listening to Beacon on the way back from the game yesterday, and this numpty dingle came on to Tom Ross overjoyed that they had come back from 2 down to win 3-2 :P
Got to credit them on their point yesterday, just when you thought they'd be on the other end of another beating. Swines.

Anyway, who cares? This is a forum about football. How do you think you'll do against Chelski? Part of me hopes you win: I hate AVB with a passion.
I have 14 so shove that in your pipe and smoke it! :P
We've certainly got a chance and I do expect us to win the game actually, providing we get into them from the start. They're not as strong as they once were under Jose and I expect Fortune to cause their two centre halves problems. If we can be as strong infront of goal as we have been in the past two weeks then I see no reason as to why we can't pick up a victory.
I see you've got some big games coming up, Fulham and Blackburn isn't it? Be interesting to see how Terry Connor copes with that pressure of a must win game.
You win >:(.A couple of my mates who are wolves fans thought thats what would give you the edge over us ;D
As for your game, I think it will either be 1-1 or 2-1 to Chelski. I can't see you winning that one.
Yes we have Fulham, a place which is an extremely difficult one to visit. IIRC, Fulham have only lost once at home this season. Therefore, I would kill for 0-0. 0-0 so we can keep a clean sheet! :D
And we simply have to beat Blackburn. That game can make or break both teams' season. We know that Steve Kean will set Blackburn up to come and have a go at us, we also know they score a lot of goals, but I think home advantage and desire from our players will sneak it for us, 3-2.
A couple of my mates who are wolves fans thought thats what would give you the edge over us ;D
Could you tell the difference between McCarthys and Connors sides or is it too early?
Micks daughter loves him in and around the box.
There was a more attacking intent, the ball was kept on the ground for long periods, plus TC subbed O'Hara, something Mick would never have done. Our defending HAS to be sorted though. However, the signs are there.
We got ourselves a good education you see, unlike your lot! :P :D
My laptop's covered in tea from laughing at that!!
Blackburn is TC's first home game so I hope that the players will put out a performance for him.
I hope the crowd in the stands put in a good performance for him too.
While I love seeing your lot in a relegation mess, I actually dont want to see you drop..
I really want Blackburn to go down
and I guess QPR and Wigan would be my other choices
We're not going down this season boys! Look forward to our 4th season in the prem come September! :-*

I'd love qpr and their oracle of football management to drop, same with bolton who would be financially ruined
Wolves have something unique to the bottom five - a damn good goalscorer.

There's something about Blackburn which I reckon will stay up so I wouldn't count my chickens if I was a Wolves fan. I see a team, fully behind Steve Kean now they've removed Samba. The fans might not back him but some of their results of late are certainly a reason to be positive.
It will certainly be three of the five down there and no doubt Wolves will scrape through it, again.
Cisse, who knows - QPR are not gelling.you could say the same about there strikers rowls...i think they am gone, villa are in shtuck aswell now
Yakubu, scores goals in big bursts then doesn't touch the ball for five games.

noticed wolves have allowed boro to sign adam hamill on loan. strange move imo, good player.
A few good game for Barnsley, thats all he did before going to Wolves.
Utter embarrassing, sack the board
Fletcher anyone when they get relegated?
Talk sport commentator just said " its understandable Wolves fans are leaving early"
I heard that & as I chuckled I'm sure a bit of wee came out :oWith reference to my earlier post, will they now be giving Steve Weaver (ya know, the assisstant) a go?
Begs the question: why would Moyes leave a half decent Premier club with no money, to go to a absolutely S**T (temporarily) Premier club with no money.
Connor's been told he is in with a shout for the job if he can keep the next two losses down to less than FIVE!
wolves are gone ! there going down thay have not got a clue the players look lost and have no fight bye bye ;Ddont agree just yet, ok its an awful result but they will still believe they have a chance against blackburn next weekend, and are still within goal difference of safety. itll be down to the wire, as they pop up with good results every now and then.

Good job it was away, would of had a protest outside the ground again! Anyone think they will sack Connor? Can they do that for a temp boss?
His honeymoon period is over then. Blackburn is a massive game next week.

Wolves are a complete mess. If they stay up it will be a miracle.The same sort of miracle that kept them up last season.

There a sinking ship, sacking Mick was a big mistake. Ok they got battered by us 5-1 but atleast he has experiance unlike Tony Connor. Looking at them today they lacked passion and commintment O'Hara ;D was awful. If they go down i dont see them coming up for a few seasons players like Flectcher,Doyle,Jarvis will all leave and by the sounds of it there fans wont be turning up in the championship.
Feeling wonderfully smug. Beating Chelsea, nice bit of Sunday lunch and a Wolves capitulation. What more can a man ask for?To be happy in life not only must you succeed, rivals must fail.
They are that embarrassing i am starting to feel sorry for them
Is this now a record page thread?
Biggest mistake they made, was spending so much on the ground rather than buying better defenders.
Another 5 goal drubbing hardly merits a mention to be honest.
More importantly, how is the stadium rebuild coming along?
Maybe merlin_mick or MrWolf could shed some light on the matter?...
...has anyone heard from them recently?...
...hope they're alright?...
probably busy totting up that goal difference of theirs :P
Why do I get the feeling that they'll fluke their way out of it again? All the bottom 5 clubs are as bad as each other, could very well see a record low points total to stay up.
They were an utter, complete, spiritless shambles today. They looked like a bottom feeding Championship club, let alone a PL outfit. I'd be amazed if they stay up.
Why do I get the feeling that they'll fluke their way out of it again? All the bottom 5 clubs are as bad as each other, could very well see a record low points total to stay up.i dont think its fluke, they arent severely adrift, only on goal difference. as others said, they have a fair few winnable games, and im sure they will survive again, just. when you look at other teams in the bottom 5, like QPR, you cannot see how they will cope against the bigger teams, and the horrible fixture list they have to come. wigan and bolton are incredibly unpredictable but barely look like scoring, and blackburn are hovering perilously over relegation. however, the longing for survival in the last 10 games or so may be a true wakeup call, because at the moment theres very little fight in these teams it seems.
Stick a fork in them they are done.
Jamie O`Hara is only 50% fit which is why I dont understand them getting rid of Guedioura,
they have 3 midfielders MILIJAS,O`HARA,and HUNT who are all left footed which leaves them totally
unbalanced.
blackburn will beat them saturday get 1 goal and be all over there gone and moxley and morgan you pair can have the freedom of sandwell town :P
Is that meant to be English? :o
Apparently Blackburn are giving free transport with & pie and a pint thrown in
Is that meant to be English? :o
If they can deal with the Yak then they have a chance but if not then It really could be tough for there defence.
I see Kelvin Henry is out for a month, and the mighty David Davis has been called back from Chesterfield to save their season... ;D

The crisis engufling Wolves has intensified after it emerged that former captain Roger Johnson turned up drunk for training on Monday.
Roger Johnson puts his Wolves future in doubt after turning up drunk for training
By John Percy
11:21PM GMT 07 Mar 2012
Less than 24 hours after his club’s 5-0 humiliation at Fulham, Johnson, 28, was ordered to train with the development squad after interim manager Terry Connor became aware the player was under the influence of alcohol.
Johnson has been fined two weeks’ wages and it is doubtful whether he will be involved against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. His Wolves future must also be in doubt.
A Molineux source said Johnson’s behaviour had been “totally unacceptable”, and on Wednesday night the player admitted: “My conduct and approach to training on Monday was below the high standard the club rightly needs and demands of me, and what I demand of myself.
"As a result, I have apologised to the manager, my team-mates and the club.”
It is understood he turned up to train on Monday in a dishevelled state, with his team-mates remonstrating with him over his behaviour.
Connor told him to train with the players not involved on Sunday, which included the club’s academy players, and Johnson could be excluded completely from the squad for the game with Blackburn at Molineux.
Connor said: “I can confirm that Roger was involved in a breach of club discipline on Monday, for which he has apologised and accepted his punishment.
“The matter has been resolved internally and the club will be making no further comment.”
Johnson, a £4.5 million summer signing from Birmingham City by former manager Mick McCarthy, has failed to enhance his previously impressive reputation at St Andrew’s this season and has increased the growing scrutiny on the troubled Midlands club.
Wolves were subjected to ridicule last month for their haphazard approach to finding a replacement for McCarthy, who was sacked after 5-1 drubbing at home to West Brom.
The latest revelations on Johnson will hardly help a club who have lost 15 of their 27 Barclays Premier League games this season and are in the bottom three.
Johnson was dropped from the starting line-up for Connor’s first game at Newcastle United and was also an unused substitute at Fulham.
He was a high-profile capture by McCarthy in the summer but he has struggled at the heart of Wolves’ defence in a season of underachievement. He was dropped in December for the game with Sunderland after a string of disappointing performances but the centre-half was still heavily critical of the decision to dismiss McCarthy after the defeat to their Black Country rivals in February.
Wolves will also face Blackburn without Karl Henry, another former captain, who is facing at least three weeks out with a hamstring injury, while midfielder Dave Edwards is doubtful with a knee injury.

Hilarious would be the word which sums them up.
I don't blame Roger Johnson in fairness. Being picked behind Richard Stearman and Christophe Berra is enough to send anyone to drink.
I want them relegated.I aint bothered about the darby, we always win. They have the edge on finance, history and support and i want them to suffer

I doubt he would risk the safety of his family for something like that. Were they accosted on their way to the car? Or did they see a couple of fans and think it would be fine?
A bottle was thrown at O'Hara apparently who was holding his baby.
Whoever has done that is a disgrace. I know some of their fans are low but to me that is beyond low.
Scum.
Shocking.
Out of interest, would anyone have O'Hara here? double swoop for O'Hara and Fletcher maybe? :D

Tuesday 15th March 2011 (yes I know its last year but still....)
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey believes that the club will again challenge among the top five in the country.
Fuelled by owner Steve Morgan’s long-term vision for Wolves, Moxey believes they can once again compete with the elite under manager Mick McCarthy.
He said: “The aim is to get us back where everyone thinks we belong.
“We are kidding ourselves if we think we can usurp Manchester United, but we think we can get to just below that level – in the top three, four or five clubs where we can be competing in Europe.

QPR are better than Wigan, far better.
Clipboard Connor - Albion legend.
All over the Sunday papers that Connor will be sacked and they will send out an SOS to Bruce.

Anybody ever noticed the similarity between Moxey and Harry Enfield? ;D
In that order, presumably.
Man Utd at home for them next week, doesnt get much harder than that.
All over the Sunday papers that Connor will be sacked and they will send out an SOS to Bruce.
Would this be the first time a temp manager has been sacked :-)I dont seem to remember any others getting the sack, they really do need to get something against Man Utd now.
'Scouse Mafia Out' read the banner.
Theres only Morgan whose scouse isnt there? ;D
If Wolves back off against United like what they have been doing then it really could be another thrashing for them.
All over the Sunday papers that Connor will be sacked and they will send out an SOS to Bruce.
Doubt if they will go for Bruce as Morgan is quoted on Sky Sports as saying Bruce was to blame for the delay in naming the manager.

So will the Dingles be cheering us on next week :D
If they are, shall we let Wigan win? :DI think we should, ;D ;D ;D if the place isn't in meltdown enough, just imagine when they are bottom of the league, they will start trashing that flashy new north stand of theirs ;D

Nice to see that they think when/if they go down they will simply be able to cherry pick players from all the other Championship clubs. They'll never learn will they. Asking for the board to appoint Hughton was my personal fave from that thread.

This weekend is a win-win with our game really. If we win against Wigan then great, but if we lose we can console ourselves with the fact that it puts another coffin in Wolves' season! Would prefer 3 points though...definitely, need to guarantee safety as with every defeat i get edgier.

Mistakes, sure he’s made a few, but some would have you believe that our chairman is the devil incarnate, writes Wolves blogger Tim Spiers.
After Wolves had lost a football match on Saturday Steve Morgan was clearly to blame in the eyes of a few hundred supporters (I use that term lightly), who used a protest to demand his head on a stick, as well as Jez Moxey’s for good measure.
It was a scene unimaginable just a few months ago, but it shows how low Morgan’s stock has suddenly plummeted.
It’s with good reason that Morgan isn’t flavour of the month at the moment and he is certainly deserving of criticism for what’s unfolded in recent weeks.
He shouldn’t have made that blustering dressing room speech after the Liverpool defeat, then he showed Mick McCarthy too much or not enough loyalty when deciding to sack him in February, depending on your viewpoint.
And he made a complete pig’s ear of running the search for McCarthy’s replacement, asking every man, his dog, his budgerigar and the milkman if he wanted the job, before settling on a managerial novice in Terry Connor, precisely the thing Morgan’s wingman Moxey said the club would avoid doing.
But that’s where the charge sheet ends.
It’s a sheet that doesn’t include a lack of huge personal investment into the club, or the city as a whole, or a lack of vision, hard work, care, forward planning and diligence as he tries to establish a relatively small club by modern day standards in one of the world’s toughest and most competitive leagues, while rebuilding the stadium and training facilities.
A club which had spent 24 years out of 25 outside the top flight, before promotion on Morgan’s watch in 2009.
So can we all just have a bit of perspective please, instead of comparing him to the Bhatti brothers?
If you’re of the opinion that the two are the slightest bit similar, then frankly you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I’d almost say you’re not worth listening to but apparently we live in a society of free speech and human rights.
But seriously, you’re not worth listening to.
As well as, I suspect, many of those people protesting, I may not have been around to endure those godforsaken days in the 1980s when the club was very nearly made extinct, but you don’t have to have lived through it to know what happened, and know that we never want to go back there again.
I wasn’t residing in Berlin in 1939 either but I can say with some confidence that Hitler was a bit of a bad apple.
But this is typical of the act-first-never-think-later behaviour of the more moronic element of our support and frankly it says more about the people protesting than the guys they are protesting to get rid of.
Morgan won’t say it, the club won’t say it, but I’m happy to – you’re bringing shame on Wolverhampton Wanderers and I’m mortified that people up and down the country will now tar Wolves fans with the same idiotic brush.
The Scouse Mafia Out banner – a cheap, narrow-minded and illogical rip off of Newcastle’s Cockney Mafia Out sign a few years back, is a case in point.
For a start it requires more than one person to comprise an entire mafia, so unless you’re suggesting that Danielle Lloyd is Consigliere of the Morgan crew, with Adam Hammill as underboss, then your point, like your right to call yourself a supporter, is completely invalid.
And please, someone tell me, what is the issue with Moxey, the man for whom the most hate-fuelled bile is reserved? Tell me one thing he’s done that makes him ripe for a public flogging?
Moxey may be relentlessly bullish and more cliché-ridden than a particularly vomit-inducing X Factor montage, but as a chief executive (and a negotiator in transfer deals) he’s done far more good for Wolves than bad.
I see people using Stoke’s recent success as an example of his ineptitude, despite the fact he left there in 1997.
Well, if we’re going to use that kind of logic, his other former club Rangers are doing great aren’t they?
And I suppose the justification for Barcelona’s greatness can be traced precisely back to the moment Diego Maradona left in 1984, the incompetent swine.
I guess I’m preaching to the unconvertible here but if you just take a step back and look at the bigger picture, the business side of the club is actually being run very sensibly and with long term gain in mind.
It wasn’t so long ago that a respected economics expert was asking whether we were the best run club in the country, for Morgan and Moxey are desperately trying to position the club for long term growth on and off the field.
The problem comes when on-the-field performances mask the progress that is being made.
But although relegation would be extremely painful, it has been planned for and certainly wouldn’t be a disaster, as we would be well placed to come straight back up again.
The club is debt free and we wouldn’t need to sell valuable assets – it just might mean taking a step back, before hopefully taking two forward, which by the way our near neighbours have managed without the need for moronic protests.
We’re talking about a 10 or 15 year project here, not a five year play toy for Morgan to chuck some money at before jumping ship, and the line of progress doesn’t necessarily follow a perfectly upward trajectory.
The way football is run is about to undergo huge changes with the introduction of financial fair play rules and Morgan, as a successful businessman, recognises that with some sane planning we could reap the rewards when clubs who have spent way above their means go belly up.
Ask fans of Boston United, Leeds United, Luton Town, Bournemouth, Rotherham, Darlington, Southampton, Stockport County, Crystal Palace, Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle or Port Vale – all of whom have fallen into administration in the time Morgan has been at Molineux – whether our club is financially being run in the correct way.
So yes, he may have been indecisive and naive with a few of his football-based decisions lately, for which he has been rightly condemned, but for his business logic there is no one I’d rather have running the football club, so let’s just put things in context.
Morgan, Moxey, Mick McCarthy, Roger Johnson and some underperforming players have all been guilty of attracting negative headlines in recent weeks.
But if you made a pathetic banner saying Scouse Mafia Out, chanted for Morgan and Moxey to leave, or accosted and harassed Jamie O’Hara and his family, you more than anyone else are the ones making us look like a joke of a club

Not a bad article that really. They're still a joke though ;D
Reported in the Mail this morning that the dingles are ready to re-open talks with Steve Bruce ::)
The mighty Wolves have denied any contact with Megson, thank god
The also said that clipboard was the best bloke for the job
I know 'one Gary Megson' likes to think he's Red Adair but surely not even he would go anywhere near that poison chalice.
Word of advice: FFS Mego dont be a tw@t, leave them to die naturally, somethings are beyond saving :'(
(https://p.twimg.com/AoFtVG3CMAA6Md2.jpg)
Milijas and O'Hara major doubts for them on Sunday. Can really see an absolute mauling! We will have a major shout in who goes down as we have to play Blackburn, Wigan QPR and Bolt
on.
so
Megson goes there and they stay up ..
"youre only here cause of albion"
Megson goes there they go down ..
"gary megson made you lose ,made you lose , gary megson made you lose HE HATES DINGLES"
bit like chelsea
"you went through cause of albion"
"sacked in the morning "
Its a great time to be a baggie :D :D :D :D :D
I can clear this up now, Megson isn't coming here mate.
Put a cheeky quid on 6-0 to United.
Unlucky, just finished 5-0 lol
Any truth in the rumour that`high fives´are banned in wolvo? ;D
Please Please. Don't sack Terry clipboard my sides are killing me ;DOooo it hurts ! dont make me laugh, it hurts, whhoooooaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Oooo it hurts ! dont make me laugh, it hurts, whhoooooaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I actually feel sorry for Terry Connor. Up until Zubar got himself sent off they'd done okay and it was only 1-0. Zubar got sent off and they just capitulated. I don't think I've ever seen a team so weak mentally and physically. Saying that, I fully enjoyed watching United add another nail to the coffin.
And now yeah going to believe us, the **** are going down! :D
Not that I am bothered but Terry Connor is clearly out of his depth. If Morgan wanted to keep them up then he needs to find someone who will manage them for the remaining nine games and give him £1million if he keeps them up.
Hope you're right mate.
I can honestly see a senario similar to last season and our very own Great Escape where theirs and the other four teams' survival goes down to the final day.

The rumour is only 9000 early bird season tickets have been sold
I have just got this feeling the jammy gits with the worst team i have seen this year will scrape out of it, how they are still only 1 point from safety is beyond me
They dont like playing Sundays do they, fifteen goals they have let in and only one scored in their last three games on a Sunday.
I think a new Tesco super store on that site would look superbEven a great big hole in the ground would look better than that sh****le
I put a £2 on them to lose 0-5 at around 20/1 (Couldn't resist seeing as they were on TV and now always concede 5)ABSOLUTE QUALITY MATE. i LIKE YOUR STYLE :D :D
To celebrate I'm going to use the £40 to buy myself the Molineux Massacre commemorative DVD and mug. Whatever I have left over I am going to bet on them loosing their next game against a top four team 5-0. At this rate I will be able to afford a Baggies ST for next year.
Cheers TC!
I know a lot of Wo1ve5 fans read this thread because of their obsession with us;
We have a thread on this forum - this one - which is 111 pages of us talking about them. We're both as bad as each other (which is depressing, because we should be setting out sights on Villa, rather than getting dragged into Staffordshire).

Leigh Griffiths has played his last game for Hibs after head-butting manager Pat Fenlon and then punching assistant Billy Brown in an astonishing training ground bust-up on Tuesday. The on-loan Wolves player is understood to have taken exception to comments made by the Easter Road manager at the Ormiston complex.

W*lves look gone to be honest, Blackburn I would say are safe, there is no way Bolton will go down now with the Muamba motivation behind them. The only thing left for W*lves, QPR and Wigan to play for is in which order they all finish in the bottom three.wigan might find a way out you know. they are playing alright at the moment, havent lost in 3, and potentially could make 17th YET AGAIN. bolton and blackburn are both not out of it yet, especially the latter. they have some tough games still to go.

Are they seriously this stupid? They have absolutely no idea of where they are in the pecking order for players in their current position. What player Championship or not is going to want to come in and play for them after the this season especially the last month. Some people on there need sectioning if they think that they have any chance of signing the best players from the likes of Cardiff, Bimingham. Middlesbrough etc.

If you were a proper United fan (rather than a tourist) who sat with your own fans during matches then this would never have happened. ;) ;D
Just a quick snippet from one of their threads:
"Apathy is now upon us and we know the fight has been lost. Sadly though the fighting amongst fans hasn’t and I have no idea what started it but for the first time ever I saw a scrap outside the family enclosure , must have been 7 or 8 kids / dads / granddads going at it including someone hitting folks with a pair of crutches and the old bill were pretty slow to stop this."
6 points adrift ;D
I think todays defeat might just see them relegated to be honest. I thought they'd win the game when they were 1-0 up, however, they soon found a way of cocking it up. Big summer ahead for both Black Country clubs

Did we relegate the Wolves?we were a huge part of it, lets be honest. this second half capitulation led their fans into real meltdown, depleted the players, resulted in the pandemonium as you say, and since then theyve been in absolute freefall bar a point from newcastle. no wonder they hate us so much ;D
I know we enjoyed the 5-1 immensly, but it resulted in the sacking of Mad Mick and the shambles that has now unfolded for them.
When they look back on their season, I think they will come to the conclusion that the defining moment was the second half of that game.
They're not down yet - but rumour has it that they are trying to line up Susan Boyle for an early end of season bash :-*
Megson in crowd. Possible for the Wolves job?

Gary Megson is very close friends and even worked with Pulis - Good good game this :Dwas manager there in 99 too.
The 5-1 thrashing was the beggining of the end for Stafford Wanderers. ;D
Two thing stick out for me early in that game.
1.Bassongs a decent player yet they played him in a Derby game after months injured and having only had a couple of games before,no wonder he looked out of sorts and later pulled up injured.
2.Playing Ward at leftback against Pete,suicide.That would be like us playing Dorrans at fullback!.Surely they had better than that?
I think Ward has been the regular left back for a couple of seasons now, he plays there for Ireland as well as far as I know.They shoved him up front for a bit,to be fair he doesnt even look like a defender.
They walked into that one..... ;D

Our worst points total in the premiership is 28. I don't think the dingles have any chance of matching that total. Another bragging right we have over them
If Blackburn can beat Liverpool and Swansea, and the dingles fail to get a result against either Arsenal or Sunderland then the dirty dogheads will be relegated by 5.00pm on Saturday.
Fingers crossed eh? :P

Blackburn are headed for a loss against Liverpool. Down 0-2 after 16 minutes.
blackburn 2-2 liverpool, wolves will be pooing themselves
Dalglish out, the king is dead!
Even if blackburn won the next two. Wolves could still catch bolton who would be 17th.if bolton win the weekendn and wolves lose the next two they would be 10 points Behind with 4 games left.
This stat made me smile:
Only one manager has ever taken fewer pts from his 1st 7 PL games at a club than Terry Connor....... Mick McCarthy (Sunderland, 0pts). Mentor
I see they have a Wolves all over the world thread like we had. More wolves here more wolves there.I saw that, a baggie went on with a classic: Premiership = Albion, Championship = Wolves

Equally, he accepts he could be left jobless. “I knew that was the case when I took the challenge on, but I’m still glad I took it – I’ve enjoyed every minute,” he said
I think they're on the way back up, first clean sheet since August in the league, only 19 points behind us, i'm starting to worry.
You Baggies fans think your going to have an amazing season because you came 11th last year? You had the 2nd worst defence in the league remember and you haven't improved it really. I'm not saying we're going to do amazing because I don't think we will but I don't think yourselves should be so confident... Reading and Birmingham are perfect examples of how the second season proves a lot more challenging.
Midfield and up front was never the issue though, we had no problem in scoring goals, it was conceding that was the problem and I think RJ is the perfect man to stop that.

They can attempt to insult us back all day long too, but really, do they have a leg to stand on? Notice the one Wolves fan on there accusing all Albion fans of being spineless cowards? Hmm... Please remind me which set of fans threw bricks at an old lady on a coach last season at Notts Forest because Lee Hughes wore a T-Shirt? How about the set of fans who a few ago attacked a player while he was carrying his child? Not a leg to stand on. It must be humiliating to be a Wolves fan.

An Albion win at Anfield on the day wolves are relegated is pure heaven.Work in wolverhampton tommorrow.

Reading through MolMix over the last few weeks/months since the beginning of there demise against us there is one common opinion that keeps surfacing and its one I really can't get my head around.next season theyll say the 4th is the hardest if we stay up. always trying to drag us down with them
90% of them seem to think that the only thing keeping us in this league is Hodgson and if he goes in the summer we'll be in big trouble regardless of who we replace him with. Do they seriously still doubt the quality of our squad and still think that Olsson, Odemwingie, Mulumbu, Foster are barely as good as Hennessy, Johnson, O'Hara and Doyle? "Its the third season thats the hardest" apparently.
They've been the worst side in the league this season and have been deservedly relegated, I don't think they'll storm the Championship next season but I'd expect to see them up there like Blues this season. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of tears and general vitriol on the Mix tonight, would have put the cherry on the cake for me today - still they've known they were doomed since November!

Apparently Merlin Prick was banned this afternoon and having seen the comments he should be ashamed of himself and I would hope most Wolves fans themselves would be appalled by him.
They've never had a fourth season themselves so that rules that out the question.was tongue in cheek, in the sense theyll always try and find someway of trying to bring us down. may not be 4th is the hardest, may be roy will be on his way or something like that.

Classy. Think this just about sums them up.
I was told about the link by an Albion mate, even he finds it embarrassing that they have a thread dedicated to us and he finds the way they talk about us embarrassing too, as if they're superior in every way which he says is far from the truth. He admitted they're only doing so well because they have a top English manager who will probably go and take the England job and he reckons we'll overtake them next season.
My Albion mate is a good lad actually, he doesn't 'like' us but he respects our history and our fans passion and so forth. He genuinely reckons a lot of them have an inferiority complex because although they have the bragging rights this season he said over the next 10 years we will have the potential to become a Premier League force to be reckoned with but they'll always be a yo-yo team until they expand the ground and invest in better training facilities etc.
They do have a pretty average squad and its no better than ours tbh. The difference is they have a manager who is among the best 5-6 in the league.

Interesting, we have one thread on here for all things Wolves and they have about three on us a day. If they'd bother to use their eyes then they'd see we have one for Villa (our real rivals) and even Blues and Stoke.
As for the supposed superiority complex, I've never seen an Albion fan beat up disabled people or throw house bricks at grannys.
i cant believe an honest albion fan would make those comments liam, that mustve been during a low point in the season as that is a very miserly way of putting it. we have just had 2 good seasons and of course there is always a risk of us going down but on current form i dont know how you can gather those notions?
Did i read on the mix someone saying their squad is just as good as ours and we finish double their points :D

Classy. Think this just about sums them up.
My first post on here, but i had to share this. My Norwich supporting mate (who hates the Wolves) just saw this picture and said
"I don’t know what I find funnier – the 10 year old swearing or the guys face on the right who looks like he’s just had a party in his pants - who knew relegation could be so exciting."
Or maybe somebody is about to put something in the guy on the rights mouth :-[

My Norwich mate hates the Wolves as well and says Norwich fans in general hate them. Is there any particular reason for this or is it generally because they're a scummy little club that nobody likes?
Correct me if im wrong but im sure it was Muscat on a young Craig Bellemy?
Wolverhampton WHO ?? :P ;D :D
So the handball goal that helped them beat sunderland doesn't get a mention then?Also, when Wolves used the rush up defence from the free-kick in the last minute. While about three or four players were in an offside position, the actual player who went to the ball and thus was interfering with play was actually onside as the free was taken and so the equaliser should have stood.
As much as it pains me to say it, I think the W*lves will have a good season this time and finish anywhere from 15th to 10th.
On paper, their current squad seems too good to go down.
Basically, this time last season they had the exact same squad but without O'Hara and Johnson. Money talks and with that they will already be better in defence and more creative. 2 players that give them 2 strengths which they needed to improve on big time last season :(
I know sometimes football is full of bullsh*t, but have you ever read such lame 'fate is against us' excuses as this article in the Express & Star?
This idiot could have shortened his piece just by saying 'the wolves were rubbish and the players not PL standard'
Ten reasons why Wolves were sunk
Thursday 26th April 2012, 2:00PM BST.
Wolves’ relegation was confirmed on Sunday. Martin Swain looks at 10 moments which defined this wretched season.
“A million and one reasons,” answered Michael Kightly when asked to explain the decline and fall of Wolves in the Premier League.
But it is possible to look back over a season of mounting disenchantment for supporters and see the fateful moments which today leave the club bracing itself for a new campaign in the Championship.
It wasn’t meant to be this way. Having already been alarmed by the club’s relegation scare on the final day of last season, owner Steve Morgan declared Wolves must never experience ‘anything like this’ again and the new campaign began with manager, players and hierarchy talking up their confidence about a mid-table finish.
The opening week now seems a lifetime ago but it appeared to justify their optimism. Wolves even went top briefly after back-to-back wins over Blackburn and Fulham followed by a Villa Park draw. But since that moment, Wolves began rolling downhill with increasing velocity before hurtling over the precipice with three games to go.
How did they get there?
Here’s 10 key moments on the road to relegation.
1. Roger Johnson is appointed captain in July
This would surely prove to be former manager Mick McCarthy’s most damning misjudgement as it nailed not one player but two. Johnson was a signing who arrived to unanimous acclaim, such had been his role in Birmingham’s Carling Cup campaign. He was introduced as a leader in the centre of a defence which was still over reliant on the experience of Jody Craddock.
But rather than let Johnson settle into his new surrounds and a different team structure, McCarthy gave him the added responsibility of the armband. Maybe he wanted to shake up his dressing room; maybe he calculated Johnson would respond to the challenge. But not only did it emasculate Karl Henry, the previous captain, it thrust on the new signing a burden which infected his form.
Ultimately Johnson was neither captain nor leading defender and it became increasingly clear dressing room fractures were being widened as results took a down-turn.
2. The form of Matt Jarvis for the first half of the season.
Jarvis has shown in the last couple of months the form of which of which he is capable. A lone star in the black hole of Wolves’ receding universe.
But during the first half of the campaign, Jarvis could not get a sniff. As a player of direct pace, he was something of a lone threat in carrying Wolves forward with any menace and opponents recognised this all too easily. Shut him down and you shut Wolves down. They did.
3. The mysterious decline of Kevin Doyle.
This player’s first season at Molineux brought nine goals and huge critical acclaim as he proved himself one of the most adept performers in the lone-striker role. But since then his influence has declined along with the goals – five in the second campaign, four this.
The enigma remains: Why has he always looked so much more at home by himself than with a partner? Whatever the reason, you will now find Wolves fans not as concerned as they might have been at the prospect of him leaving this summer.
4. Andy Carroll and Roger Johnson at Liverpool.
The first of the tough calls that really sticks out as Wolves suffer at Anfield in September. The game is in the balance when Carroll appears to barge into the defender as a cross is cleared – leaving Johnson off balance and out of position when he subsequently deflects the ball into his own net.
A cruel moment – but not the last as Wolves enter an autumn of grievances over the officials.
5. Mark Halsey.
Unlikely to be guest of honour at the end-of-season awards night, Halsey enfuriated Molineux with his handling of the Newcastle contest which started October with a 2-1 defeat.
He denied Wolves a penalty on failing to spot Steven Taylor’s trip on Jamie O’Hara taking place in the area. Then, to compound matters, an 88th minute Doyle ‘goal’ was ruled out on the mistaken belief the ball had gone out of play before Jarvis’s cross.
6. Anguish at Everton
Wolves were in touch with a point at one of the Premier League’s toughest venues the following month only for Jonathan Moss to again leave their camp feeling aggrieved – and ruefully thinking of that Newcastle contest – as Stephen Ward was punished for breathing a little too heavily on Louis Saha seven minutes from time. Leighton Baines scored the resulting spot-kick.
7. Jamie O’Hara’s injury at Manchester United.
On December 10, Wolves problems mounted considerably with the loss of their most influential midfielder O’Hara to injury. In the 21 games which have followed, and despite a gallant attempt by O’Hara to play while clearly less than fully recovered, Wolves have won just once.
8. Woodgate and Lampard
Sendings off have been cruel to Wolves this season with Nenad Milijas and Sebastien Bassong both red-carded in the Arsenal games – leaving Wolves fans wondering how Woodgate and Frank Lampard survived the same fate with challenges on Matt Jarvis and Adam Hammill respectively as deep winter gloom engulfed the club. Henry’s exit against against Villa in January – and subsequent three-match ban – was uncontested but a wounding blow.
9. The owner’s rant
McCarthy’s authority and security at Wolves was decisively undermined when Steve Morgan erupted at a tame surrender to Liverpool and burst into the dressing room after the game to deliver his own rollicking. The manager was on thin ice from that moment on.
10. One injury too many
There would have been a time when McCarthy reasonably imagined a midfield trio of Henry, O’Hara and January loan signing Emmanuel Frimpong giving his team the midfield arpon from which survival would be secured. But before Henry had returned from suspension and O’Hara had fully recovered, his hopes were shattered by the injury Frimpong incurred at QPR on February 4 which took him out for the remainder of the season
Doesn't it make your weekend to read this drivel! :P
Oh yeaaaaaa!!In hindsight it was a bad comment, but like many football fans I bought into the Wolves pre-season hype. There was good reason to if honest, they'd survived 2 seasons with the exact same team and had strenthened with Johnson and O'Hara.
I suppose the Hodgson situation has, at last, given them something to smile about !Why should it do that, at least we wont be employing the kit bloke to take over ! They have absolutely nothing to crow about.
I would have thought it will pee some off given that we are a more attractive option for managers.

To be fair, the majority of the mix and the one's I've spoken to personally have been very dignified and intelligent on the matter. Certainly not resulted to taking the pee etc. It was mentioned on there that we are a much more attractive option for managers which brought a smile to my face.
Are you sure they were wolves fans? ;)
'Olly, Olly, Olly: Holloway lined up to be next Wolves boss
Ian Holloway is top of Wolves' managerial wanted list and could quit Blackpool unless they go up.
Wolves owner Steve Morgan has been highly impressed with the job madcap Holloway has done at Blackpool and they regard the Blackpool boss as the perfect man to get them straight back up into the Premier League.'
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/blackpool-boss-ian-holloway-has-been-812625
Just heard a stat on Radio WM.
If Wolves concede a goal at home this weekend they will 'beat' Derby's record of conceding the most goals at home in a Premier League season.
;D

Interesting choice for manager. Did a terrific job at Copenhagen. I fancy him to do a decent job for the dingles as well.
Then again his time at Köln (Cologne) was basically a disaster from day one.
Risky giving someone from Norway a shot at the Wolves job.
Zonal marking??? :o Adios Dingles.
Be careful taking the mick. He failed at Cologne playing awful football but won 5 titles in Denmark playing a mix of long ball and passing football.
At least they haven't gone for the obvious, boring appointment.
They should have gone for an obvious, boring appointment. They have a strong top end Championship squad, they didn't need to take a risk on the manager.

Solbakken was a really poor fit with German football, maybe British football is much more native to his approach, we shall see. I agree there simply isn't that much managerial talent about atm, but at least they are going for a home run appointment rather than a bland boring one....so maybe why not wait a few weeks - there may be a more obvious choice becoming available soon.
heard the knuckle draggers were out today, scrapping on the pitch but came off second bet, anybody heard any details?
http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2012/05/15/molineux-has-new-euro-vision/
Wolves today announced plans for two backroom appointments to signal a change of culture under new manager Stale Solbakken.
The club has plans for a European-style sporting director – called a ‘football development director’ – and an assistant coach, which is expected to be Solbakken’s long-term assistant Bård Wiggen.
The football development director will be appointed by, and report to, chief executive Jez Moxey. The new role hasn’t yet been clearly defined, but he will assist Solbakken, who is used to the continental-style arrangement.
Wolves insist the appointments are because they are extending their footballing staff, and will not impinge on assistant manager Terry Connor, Moxey or chief scout Dave Bowman.
But the appointment of a football development director will inevitably lead to questions about the long-term future of Connor and the scouting staff, especially if former boss Mick McCarthy gets another job and comes calling.
Chairman Steve Morgan said: “Stale’s going to bring one person in to assist him.
“But Stale is very happy to work with Terry. I think he’ll make his own mind up about everybody – players, backroom staff, when he gets to know them.
“Stale understands we may well be bringing in a football development director, but we felt it wrong to make an appointment at the same time as the manager.
“But the director of football is something that’s still very much on our mind and it’s a system he’s used to working with.
“We’ve got two or three people in mind for the post. We won’t rush into a decision. It’s important, particularly after his experience in Cologne, that we don’t bring anyone in that will clash.”
Solbakken confirmed: “I trust the guys already here but I want to add one or two new people. It’s too early to say who I will bring.”
Morgan insists Solbakken doesn’t have to win promotion in his first season.
“We like to pull together as a team, so, no (he doesn’t have to get promoted in the first season) absolutely not,” he said. “Only 25 per cent of the teams that have gone down come back up.
“It would be nice to be of one of the 25 per cent.”
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery I suppose. I wonder whether they would keep a technical (what ever you wan to call it) director in place if Solbakken got the sack. Seems rather flimsy to me.
They're doing it backwards. Sporting director first, then he helps determine the head coach.
No there just trying to do it all at the same time
Solbakken is part of a director/manager package? Who's his director?
According to them on the mix, Roger Johnson was the signing of the summer and would take them to the next level, while signing McCauley and Jones on a free would send us down :P

According to a mate of mine. The upper reigon of the new stand isn't open yet, and the reason for the poor view is because the demolition of the Tatter stand hasn't started. When thats knocked down and rebuilt it should merge with this current new stand they've built.
There not knocking the tatter stand now though.it was supeost to be done this summer but theve canceled it now. So thats how its going to be for a while now.
I must admit when completed it will look pretty decent

How can anyone put themselves through having to review that
Someone should put him on suicide watch after watching their season review
they are absolutely loving the faffing around over a new manager for next season, already relishing the turnaround they predict when they are coming back up and we go down apparently. flippin heck they are annoying. for once its not the mol mix that are the main culprits, its footymad! :o also its fairly pot kettle when taking the mick out of smethwick, when lets be honest wolvo aint much better.
I'm having a guess that dingles will finsh 7th next season- just outside of the play offs.if carlsberg did seasons, where they are comfortably playoffs until the last 2 games and drop to 7th ;D, and oldbury agreed absolutely. neither are paradise but smethwick over wolvo anyday(being an albion fan and slightly biased lol)
Where will the Dingles finish in next years Championship?.............I reckon the playoffs will be a good effort given that they are likely to lose some of their best players and it will take time for Solbakken to get his head around the rough and tumble of British football
5th, and lose in the play-off final
hahah love it. on a more sobering note, they are absolutely loving this shambolic managerial decision in wolverhampton and villa, and who could blame them. its been poor, and now we'll be tipped to go down next season by many, can feel it.
Oh well until the season starts and the new HC takes over they can gloat all they want, we're still the top midlands club allllll summervery very true :)
I see they've sold 14K season tickets. Just think , when they complete their upgrade to 50K they'll have more empty seats than filled ones.
anyone think they beat us to the right man in charge

the dingles go to leeds first game
Are Wolves anybodies favourites to come back up?
they will finish mid table they aint no good
When was the last time a relegated side finished mid table in the championship the following season? Are they that bad?

2010-11 Portsmouth finished 16th
2008-09 Derby finished 18th
2005-06 Southampton finished 12th
2001-02 Fulham 13th

A lad at work is bigging their new signing up already, saying he will finish top scorer in the league etc...
I said based on what? The no games youve seen him play or the 2 minute youtube clip you may have managed to find...
wolves have signed Frank Nouble from west ham :D, remember him ?
saw nouble for gillingham last year, he was strong, a bit fast and posed a threat up until he shoots....Sounds like a one night stand to me ;D :P

hahahah some bell on there said foster makes loads of mistakes and not fit to lace hennesseys boots hahahaha........
foster in the prem
hennessey in the npower
call closed!
Which one of you is Wolfpoo then :)
That's comical. I cannot recall these 'mistakes' they're talking about? I can recall two and both of these were in the opening two games, after that he was brilliant. To think we 'overpaid' at £4million is tosh and to me, their comments sound like they're trying to bridge the gap which is currently between us. There is a million miles of difference in quality between our squads and those ramblings in my opinion, are Wolves fans trying to close and bridge the gap.
Hennessey equal or even better than Foster? Don't make me laugh! :D
I have to admit some of the posts on that Wolves site made sense even if most of it was utter garbage. both Hennessey and Foster is overrated imo. Foster did not deserve player of the season because to me there was only about 7 weeks in which he was that good. Tyhe rest of the time he looked ok but pretty shakey. Don't get me wrong he has the talent, but I'm not sure he can handle the pressure.
I think Olsson was by far our best player last season and it is a joke that McAuley, who always looked confused and depended totally on the leasdersip of Olsson, to be picked above him.
Hennasey is another on a list of young talented players who don't have the mentality to succeed. I even think Hennessey looks a bit cocky to me.

they are arrogant arent they, i was talkin to a dingle i know today , and he said ' Baggies wil get relagated this season and Wolves will walk the championship ' ???
That is just whistling in the dark. Although I hate to say this they might have a decent shot at promotion although they certainly will not be walking it.
They wont even make the playoffs
Be very surprised if they dont at least make the playoffs. How do you arrive at that conclusion?Because between now and the start of the season, they will lose their better players, and have so far signed rubbish ones.....................Oh, and they're s**t . That enough for ya ? ;D

How do you know they will lose their best players? They dont have money worries and they sure aint going to let them walk for anything other than top dollar. If they do sell they are going to re invest? And there is the small matter of the £20 odd million parachute payments. That enough for you? ;)You still havent addressed my last point...............and if you argue to the contrary, then are you a closette Dingle ? ;)

Are they likely to lose any of their better players. I want to see them sweat a little moreagreed, they still have too many players from last season there! Has anyone bought their season dvd btw? :D
I take it by that you mean they are s***!.............. ;D Well yes at PL level they are but my argument was would they be at Chumpionship level? I think they actually have a decent chance of coming back up hence why I was debating your point? Oh and closette?......................very resplandant for a Scotsman! ;)You mean respendant for a bloke off The Wrenna in Dudley.......I'm as English as you are ! :D
if they lose Jarvis they still have Kytley and Hamill though 2 good championship wingers.
Doyle and E-Blake decent goalscorers in champ even without fletcher.
Ohara and Henry like kicking people suited for championship.
dont think they will be title condenders but will be in and around the playoffs depends on signings made, if the new managers any good luck etc!
in a ideal world it all goes tits up and they go down another tier
I've been reading it all night, some a bit close to the knuckle to be fair.From what i can make out Danielle said something in reply to a random man comment by Leon then finished it by telling leon to go jobcentre..
Can't seem to find what kicked it off so no idea if its justified or not.
Find it amusing how all the Wolves fans are defending him. One of their fans attacked him while he was carrying his kids and they given him loads of abuse last season. Still they are probably to stupid to see their own hypocrisy.
It all escalated because Danielle Lloyd responded to a throw away comment by Knight. She probably sees it as an opportunity to get her name in the papers anyway.
They are all a bunch of troglodytes anyway.
Bit out of line from Knight still some of them are funny and it's what everyone was thinking anyway, she knew she would get this reputation from going public with her private life so i guess you reap what you sow. Still O' Hara's not doing too badly as he gets to wake up next to her every morning so i guess he trumps Knight on that one.I certainly don't envy him there. A woman who has shagged more footballers than she has braincells isn't exactly my dream girl. Plus she looks god awful now her tit implants have been taken out. But if she makes him happy then good for him. He trumps Knight on the fact he's earning 20-40k a week playing for a Championship club whereas Knight is unemployed after just getting released from a Northern Irish team.
Am I the only one who thinks this is totally out if order? I know she ain't everyone's taste but my god it's gone a bit far. Some of the things he has said and others on here are disgusting!

I honstly cant see them coming straight back up.
They`ll walk that league with ease as you only have to look at the thier players,Problem is their fellow relegated sides, Blackburn and Bolton, will be very strong too; then you have Leicester and Nottingham Forest who have rich owners that'll ensure they'll be big contenders; then there's the likes of Blues, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Cardiff and Blackpool who have good teams and will certainly be in the promotion race. Wolves will be one of the teams to beat, but walk the league? No chance, the league is too strong and too competitive for that.
HAMMILL,HENRY,O`HARA,MILIJAS,EDWARDS,KIGHTLY,JARVIS,HUNT,DOYLE,FLETCHER,EBANKS-BLAKE.
Jarvis and Fletcher might be sold but that midfield is still pretty strong for the Championship.
Zubar,Craddock,Berra,S.Ward,Foley,Stearman is about as good as it gets in that league,
just look at the dross Birmingham City had .

I reckon they'll make the play-offs, from there anything can happen.
On another note, wolves have category 1 status for the academy. If there are only 10 clubs to be given it and they are to be spread around the country it probably means we are unlikely to.From what i've read is that it is and initial 3 year period, so if they don't produce or keep the FA happy, then it will be revoked. I still don't see how this works ??? but they won't do anything an fail as always :)
So now any cat 1 club can come and take our youth players at 24 hours notice with ridiculously small levels of compensation.
Sunderland have put in a £12m bid for Wolves striker Steve Fletcher, whom the Midlands club are believed to value at £15m
Source - Daily Mail
If true I dont know whats worse Wolves valuation or Sunderlands bid!! How the hell is he valued in that price range?
Completely forgot Martin O'Neill was manager at Sunderland, based on his business for Villa he'll end up paying about £18m for Fletcher.
As for Doumbia it will be interesting to see how he gets on for them. He could be a very useful signing for them but those Dingles that claim they have beaten us to signing him are hilarious they obviously forget we pulled out of the deal to sign an Argientinian international.
Shows how desperate they have become after so many years behind us.Bless them. If believing that makes them happy, then it's very sweet and it'd be a shame to break their little delusion by telling them that he begged us to sign him but we signed a Argentinian international instead. It's like seeing a five year old child jumping up and down with excitement because he's going to see Santa in a shopping centre - we know that Santa's not real and the guy in the shopping centre is just a man wearing a fake white beard, but none of us would ever have the heart to tell the poor little kid that, instead we'd leave him to enjoy his sweet innocent fantasy. Considering most Dingles have the mental age of a 5 year old, it's exactly the same, leave the poor little things alone.
Am i wrong or is the Frank Nouble Wolves fans are raving about the same one who could barely stand up when on loan with us?
If he's raw now he must have been an embryo when we had him.
Interesting to see they have turned down £10m for Fletcher, with that said there is nothing to say how the proposed deal was structured. Apparently Burnley also have a 15% sell on clause on any profit they make on him.
Is Roy Of West Brom on here?
Shows they are in a steady place financially if they can turn down 10 million pound bids after a relegation. I suppose they know Sunderland are stupid enough to pay more money.
does anyone on here really think Fletcher is worth 12m. if Wolves can get that for him i would say well done :o
Look out for a poster called "Stefan Wolves" on the mix, he seems to rate himself as an A Grade WUM and all round hillarious character.hes absolutely obsessed with us it seems, but hes being rinsed by other wolves fans on pages 9 and 10 lol.
In reality he cracks very old jokes and has a bitch fit when he gets a bit back only to claim it's him winding you up.
Ahem.

don't think he is, but he's worth what idiots like O'Neill will pay for him.There's always pulis ?.
Good job Dalglish isn't in a job anymore as a bidding war between O'Neill and him would have Fletcher going for 20m
Why would he not put it out through a club statement?
He may be a good player but he is really,really thick.
I dont know why players think they have got a God given to right to leave as soon as they suffer relegation. I think players owe it to their fans to spend at least 1 season trying to get them back to the premier league before leaving. I could understand if they failed to get promotion and then he said "ive got to get back to the premier league" but he is 25 and has years left. There is no reason why he needs to go straight back.
I hope they reject the deal and force him to have an awkward season at the Molineux.

15 million for fletcher, the world has seriously gone mad
Cannot understand why Fletcher has handed in a transfer request?
Ebanks-Blake and Doyle will score goals in that league.
They'll be fine. Top 6 comfortably maybe pushing top two.
I'm not so sure. It's a very difficult league to get out of (unless you're WBA of course!!!). There aren't really any stand out teams and anyone can beat anyone on their day. I would expect Wolves to struggle if they lose Fletcher. Out of the relegated teams I think maybe only Blackburn will challenge for promotion (if they can sort of the internal strife)...I would expect any of Cardiff, Notts Forest, Blackpool, Brum, Middlesboro, Blackburn and maybe Leicester or Hull City to be in the promotion places.
Anybody feel sorry for them :DAre you p***ed Glyn
No way if they loose more players will they get promoted.It will take Stale at least 2 seasons to stamp his authority and by that time the mighty West Bromwich Albion will be long established in the premier league
Wolves are now a selling club, a club on a downward spiral.
We have abandoned our young and hungry policy of buying the best young players around, for unproven loanees from overseas who have no experience of the Championship.
We need a clear statement of intent and expectations NOW from Moxey and Morgan who are currently selling the family silver quicker than Mrs Thatcher did.
Let me be the first to compare them to the Bhattis - that's how bad it feels right now.
The players have clearly decided that Solbakken is a knob and are getting out as quick as they can, leaving behind the dross that we didn't want to keep, and nor does anyone else want to buy.
A manager who was too scared to play Villa a week before the season started, a year ago we would have beaten Aldershot 5 or 6, who expects that now? We'd all take a 1 - 0 now....
We are staring relegation in the face before a ball has been kicked, no significant investment in a poor team for 2 years, none this year again, just a massive exercise of reducing the wage bill.
I know this post will bring abuse from the happy clappers out there who believe all the rubbish Wolves and Moxey spin to us, but we need substantial investment in the team NOW because what is left in the squad won't see the top half of the table this season.
Let the abuse begin, over to the happy clappers.....
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Least they beat us to Doumbia ay? ::)
Ebanks-Blake and Doyle will score goals in that league.
They'll be fine. Top 6 comfortably maybe pushing top two.
I see they have many guests viewing on the mix.Is it you :)

I think I would be depressed too playing for Wolves ;D
Especially when they're getting spanked every week! :D
Loving the use of the word 'Stale'..
Have wo1ve5 really rejected a 9m offer for jarvis from west ham?
What?
He is worth 4m at the very most he is gash. Got pace but does nothing at the end of a run. I would drive him there and put the pen in his hand if i were them. They could have serious amounts of cash after kightly fletcher and jarvis sales >:(
I'm not just saying this with blue and white tinted specs on but we are MILES ahead of these, absolutely miles.
Just seen on SSN Matt Jarvis handed in a transfer request, what joy
How did we think we were going to replace the likes of Koumas and Kamara when we lost them and when players like Robinson were desperate to get away from the club?
There is no doubting he has a big job on his hands and only time will tell if he is up to it as its arguably the strongest that league has ever been and disruptions don't help but if they can get rid of players that don't want to be there and get in players that do that can make a difference for them.
I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread about us on the mix :o
I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread about us on the mix :oAlbion has more than three letters in it, a majority of their fans get confused above this
Reading the mix one of their fans left after 90mins forgetting there was extra time.
They really aren't the brightest bunch. :P
booooooostill 1-1 no? come on aldershot!
Listening to WM while driving WM have been scathing about the Dingles.
Also Doumbia seems like their best player. Seems like we might have let a good player slip by but no doubt with the quality of our midfield he may well not be first choice.
Won 7-6 on pens, tough team they are Aldershot...bugger :( gives them a boost in a way, now they are all back to their 'we'll win the league' mentality. come on leeds next weekend!
The new 'best stand in the world' had turnstile failure aand wouldnt let them in until about 10 minutes after ko. ;D
Hope this is the start of things to come
I know Tuamigos I heard that on the radio. I was wetting myself with laughter at the carry on with thousands of Wolves locked out for a home game against ALDERSHOT! Apparantly Moxey and Morgan kept looking out of the stand window in between the salmon sandwiches and champers at the massed throng outside furiously waving their tickets in the air!..............comedy black & gold they call that!..
| West Brom wins | Draws | Wolves wins | |
| League | 55 | 40 | 52 |
| FA Cup | 8 | 2 | 1 |
| League Cup | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 63 | 43 | 53 |
I dont think any Albion fan will say that we have won more than they have so in terms of honours then they are ahead.
I'd love to see a stat that tells us how many times we have finished above them in every league in history. I'll give them the 50's but no doubt we won the 60s, 70s, definitely 80's, they won most of the 90s, 00s and 10s have been without doubt ours.
Also take into account the head to head records:-
West Brom wins Draws Wolves wins League 55 40 52 FA Cup 8 2 1 League Cup 0 1 0 Total 63 43 53
Those stats dont lie either.
The fact is they might well be marginally the bigger club but I'd suggest we are the BETTER club.
how did we manage to just play one match against each other in the league cup and draw it?
I have no idea.
Its comments like this gem from wolf97 that make me laugh :D

And they care far too much about us; there is a 140-page thread on us on westbrom.com
They still have not got the point of this 140 page thread have they ? so in simple terms mate:
WE CHUCK ALL THE pooh ABOUT THE pooh IN HERE TO KEEP THE BOARD TIDY !!!
Personally I want us in the same division the banter is flat without it, we feed each other. What does it matter to us if Leeds beat them Saturday and likewise will they really be bothered if Liverpool stuff us? You cannot beat the fear, dread and excitement in the build up to derby day, and the sheer elation when your team wins. I will keep an eye on their results next season as a load of my mates are dingles and no doubt I will take the pee in the pub if they lose but will I really be bothered? No.im enjoying this at the mo. couldnt give a toss if we arent in the same division, means less nerves as we dont have those 2 games to worry about. of course ill be happy as leeds win on saturday, just because we are different divisions doesnt mean i will carry on not hoping their opposition beat them!

Come on guys, I think we need to give them some credit. Although recent history states that we're better than them, they have a rich, diverse history which we simply cannot compete with. They make a valid point, we were 'lucky' with Hodgson, because we all know he was simply too good for us. We got lucky with Odemwingie finding form when we played them and as they know, the Premier League is a tough league and they were unlucky that Mick lost the dressing room. I know it's going to be an unpopular sentiment but we need to get a grip. We're not the amazing club we think we oh sod it, I literally can't keep this garbage up they are awful, deserve to be where they are, and the sooner they disappear into footballing obscurity (which they can thank our money raising back in the day that stopped them dying a death sooner) the better. They are imbeciles, but I'm sad we wont get to beat them again this season.
give wolves some credit, you having me on
Have you actually read his whole post?
I dont agree, especially if/when Jarvis and Fletcher go. If the manager is already starting to lose the dressing room before the season has started, and they have lost their best players, I can see them struggling in the bottom half of the table.
I also fancy them to have a decent season also. Their squad is not good enough for the PL but should easily compete in the top 6 of the Championship.
give wolves some credit, you having me on
Where's the best place to watch Leeds win to put us in the mood for our game?!
I see they are still peddling the same s**** about Hodgson being the sole reason why we stayed up the last two seasons despite having a squad full of proven PL talent, which has been further enhanced over the summer. Hodgson was a good coach, yet so is Clarke.
I'm more optimistic about the season ahead than I was for any of the last two,
Stale is coming across very well unfortunately from what I have seen.
Hopefully hes a better public speaker than he is a manager. Im also hoping they are left with Fletcher and Jarvis at the end of the window as I think they can do far more with 25 million then they can with those pair.
and i thought he was all over the place with much unrest in the camp
It got worse when I saw the West Brom score. The match is still going as I post this, but they're currently three nil up at home to Liverpool. Our closest rivals, with a manager we all wrote off before the season started, are really showing us up recently, a glittering example of a football club being run in the right way.
I'm hoping we'll get there some day soon, I'm sure we will, it just hurts that it's them and not us right now.

Fair play to him. It must have hurt to post that.
Expecting a full house tonight i hear, mind you did i hear it was buy one get one free?They`ll all be turning up expecting to see their first win since year dot. Will be hilarious if Barnsley beat them ;D
Come on Barnsley
24k there and apparently over 7k were free tickets
Bloody hell so if they didn't have that free offer on there would only of been 17,000 there.
Apparently Wolves have accepted a 10 million offer from West Han for Jarvis!
10 mil for Jarvis, 14 mil for Fletcher... I wonder how much of that will be re-invested in the club

Out of interest I have done this quickly and found 1 thread on West Bromwich Albion. On all the occasions I have ever visited a Wolves forum I cannot recall seeing an active thread on the Throstles. Granted I probably don't spend as much time on these places as some, but that doesn't make my statement any less true. I don't think there is as much Albion discussion on Wolves boards as you think.
Incidentally I grew up a Walsall fan, and only really became interested in Wolves when my family moved there when I was 17, which might explain why my feelings for this rivalry are somewhat flat. Having said that, if you look at the histories of both Wolves and Albion; success, profile, influence, fanbase etc, it's clear that Wolves is the bigger club. I'm sure many on here will disagree with me, but that is my honest view, and believe me when I say I am being as impartial as I can be when I say it.
I think Wolves being bigger might explain why much of the "banter" from the blue and white side seems to be, not only more prevalent, but more spiteful and insulting. I'm not trying to be provocative when I say this, but I suspect that deep down many Albion fans have feelings of inferiority when compared to Wolves, which is why we see so much effort to belittle them, and any failure at the club is met with excess jubilation.

How is it so many people who register on here (well Wolves fans) fail to see the irony in registering on a rivals site, to tell them they don't care and we must be obsessed.
Of course anyone who claims to have changed clubs at 17, presumably due to Walsall's struggles in recent years, really shouldn't be claiming any highground on football. Although I particularly like the excuse of his family moving to Wolverhampton, Walsall is a couple of miles away, its no barrier whatsoever to supporting them!

I always believed it to be similar to that simple, backward child at school (I’m sure that you can empathise) who was never any threat, but did not realise that the urine was actually being taken, thus making it more entertaining to do so. Very cruel, but very amusing all the same.
But now that you have opened my eyes to some latent jealousy and inferiority complex that I may have unknowingly carried throughout my life, I think you may actually be right.
…I cannot remember the last time Albion plunged to the depths of the fourth tier in English football
Or indeed plunged through a roof at Scarborough!
I am greener that the Incredible Hulk that we haven’t had to rely on a rival clubs reject to get us back up those lower divisions
Or when we went cap in hand with our Bhatti Begging Bowls to save our beloved club from disappearing off the face of the planet
If only we could have watched Sir Jack Wayward drop million after million after million of his hard earned down the drain without any reward
To be beaten 4 times in one season by our embarrassing next door neighbours
And oh, to be royally humiliated on our own patch to the tune of 1-5 and to then get rid of the one man who could actually save our season
If only my family had moved to Wolverhampton when I was 17…

Everyone is entitled to there opinion and in my opinion the above is b*llox. Banter is the same from each side, there is no way I feel inferior to dingles. On your own I suspect.
Derby got a 93rd minute equaliser. ;D
its never over till the fat lady sings :D
Oh they do make me laugh, last week i was winding the wolves lad up at work saying Fletcher and Jarvis were going to leave, and his words were 'Fletchers worth 15million and whoever buys Jarvis wont get him for less than 10 million and hes worth more.'especially the ones that dont even go up, havent heard a peap out of the b******* this season so far....wonder why ;D
Week later, both been sold and his comments are, Fletcher werent worth half of what Sunderland paid for him, and cant believe Jarvis went for that much, and signed the player that West Ham were going to go after if Jarvis didnt sign, so technically 'were laughing.'
Weird how quick there minds change.
671 Wolves fans at Northampton tonight.What makes it even better that, Northampton to Wolves is about half the distance from Albion to Yeovil.
Just over half what we took to Yeovil.
The Black Country's ours!

Looks like their forum is now register only... ::)
http://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/vb/index.php
Im not sure if they have enough up front actually. In theory Doyle and Ebanks-Blake could score loads but for 2 seasons they have relied heavily on Fletchers goals and momentum means a lot for strikers so is it really that easy for them both to get back into scoring goals again?
They have bought some good midfielders like Doumbia, Sako, Boukari and Sigurdarson but then they have lost arguably their 3 best players so I think they ar looking at the play offs this year.

They've played 3 tougher teams than we played last season. No good worrying about them, we have enough of a job to do ourselves.
You've got to admire the way they are run and aspire that when we get back up we do something similar. Fair play to em I say
Admin locked it. They didn't really want to talk about us right now ;) and wandered off-topic.
Can't blame them though could you?
Obviously hurts. Shame there's one poster in there full of garbage.
The admin got it right, although we simply would have deleted all the one-word and inside joke replies.
Apparently a load of them are nursing trojans after using a steam tweeted by Jody Craddock!
"Albion are a $$$$ club full of inbreds" - How poetic and beautifulthe first is a standard response from the dingles. it varies with time really, currently we are better than them, no questions. historically, well they keep referring to this but its as much about the here and now as what happened 60/70 years ago.
"Saying albion are better than us means you are deluded" - Cant even bring mysellf to comment on this so I'll let others......
I love it how they keep bringing up the fact that they have won more things than us realistically the cups that fans look for i.e european cups, winning the championship in the top league and f.a cups they have won 1 more than we have. No doubt the'l bring up that mighty league championship from the Fourth Division sorry lads we haven't dropped that low before.
Championships
Wolves - 3
Albion - 1
The difference between 3 championships to 1 and 2 each was 4 points in the 1953/54 season.
Despite what both sides like to think, the clubs are basically the same size. That may change in the future, but for the first 125 years of existence there hasn't been much in it.

No, like I said, we aren't as far behind as you'd like to think, and that considering all our problems over the last 12 months.Stale could indeed prove us all wrong, much like Clarke is proving all of you wrong who said that we'd be relegation certainties because of Hodgson leaving, much like Hodgson proved you all wrong who said we'd be relegation certainties because of 'second season syndrome' :P. God, it must really sting for you guys, watching yourselves struggling so badly whilst the club you despise to the point of obsession soars.
Stale is an unknown quantity, he could well prove you lot wrong, I hope he does. He has signed some good players, gel and they could well do a Reading. Money in the bank, an owner who has already been burnt by losing prem status, maybe learning from mistakes will turn us around.

A couple of defenders and we could be back up there. I work in west Brom and I have a bet on that you WILL finish top ten.
We have good new players, but they won't click yet, we aren't going to win the Championship, but we have an outside chance of the playoffs.
Funny that MolMix has over 90 replies regarding Sandwell, you have a forum dedicated to us with 145 pages, and nearly a full page has been written in 24 hours.
I think we feel honoured that you need to give us our own forum on your site, thanks.
As for the us versus you, no wolves would deny you're better than us right now, but we really arent that far away from getting the team to click and getting back to the PL. Once there, who knows?
I've never really understood this whole notion of the dingles calling us 'Sandwell Town', well I understand that West Brom is in Sandwell and so are the majority of our fans, but I don't understand why it's supposed to upset us? It doesn't bother me that I live in Sandwell - it's a good working class area full of cracking people. I didn't realise the people of Wolverhampton were so snobbish; them finishing in the top five of the the world's worst cities list has obviously gone to their heads. The words stones and glasshouses come to mind.

Maybe we should just delete this thread and start over. It's not like it's about anything important."No" when I feel a bit low I like to look back at this thread and it makes me feel so superior.
wo1ve5 who?
turn our attention to the villa now, forget these scruffs.... they've had there big shot at trying to compete with us many a time, and we've just laughed at them, flicked them off like a fly like a fly that keeps on at ya...there back where they belong with the blues

Check on the hasbeens down the road in StaffordStafford is as far away as Smethw..... I mean W Brom is from the Molinuex. Geography not a strong point?
Do you think the knuckle draggers in the south bank will be patient enough for you to rebuild? I have my doubts as they are already phoning up WM and posting on your forums/e & s saying he's got 'till Xmas.
You need to rebuild and take a hit for a season, like we did under Mowbray and rebuild for the better. Trouble is the vocal majority of your fans cant see past the end of their noses.
Nah, the knuckle draggers you refer to will always be there, demanding the impossible. The majority of the fans know its going to take time. The neanderthals seem to think their views are the views of everyone.Or the next and maybe not for a few seasons.
Not so. We know we're awful, but we also know we have the team to get back up. Just maybe not this season.

Jez Moxey warning of worse to come at Wolves
Jez Moxey today admitted “it may get worse before it gets better” as Wolves look to Stale Solbakken’s new regime to banish the relegation hangover at Molineux.
The club’s chief executive, reviewing the most hectic summer of his 12 years as Wolves’ first officer, said the club had drawn “a line in the sand” under the Mick McCarthy era and triggered a bold new venture under the guidance of Solbakken. Seven new signings, the axing of McCarthy’s trusted No.2 Terry Connor and the biggest sales bonanza in Molineux’s history, with the thick-end of £30m raised in player sales, have led to an uncertain start in the Championship with one win in four games.
But Moxey is urging fans to acknowledge the scale of change following last season’s collapse as Wolves now say farewell to the “young and hungry” era and look to their Norwegian boss to blend a new team. “It may need to get worse before it gets better and maybe people need to understand that,” said Moxey in an exclusive interview with the Express & Star today.
“We have to be realistic about what we can achieve given the scale of change. We want to win every single game in which we compete but we’ve got half a new team here and everyone needs to find their feet. We have seen that some foreign players take longer to settle compared to their British counterparts, and that is natural. We hope that all of them settle quickly and perform well from the start, but if we are realistic the chances of that happening are unlikely – even though they are talented players.”
Moxey admitted the club are still reeling from Premier League relegation and in particular the losing attitude which Wolves have brought with them from the top flight. He revealed the club’s ambitions to build a team of a different style and potential under Solbakken but admitted: “I wouldn’t say we are relaxed about the situation because we are never relaxed when we lose. Everyone needs to feel the pain of loss that I know the owner Steve Morgan feels, the manager feels, that my wife knows I feel. We have to get out of this propensity to lose. It hurts the fans and it should hurt everyone in our organisation in equal measure. But we are realistic about the project that has got under way.”

From Wiki:Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974!Ok, so you 'were' good in history.
Love how he's took their season ticket money first though :DI think the general feeling is that we are pooh, but 'maybe' things can clivk and we could push for the playoffs.

I think in my earlier posts on here i was a little optimistic, but i do feel we ain't too far from coming good, it just depends on what our limits are with regards to team potential with our new signings.
has anyone edited wikipedia ;DIt's like they never existed. it's a dream come true :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverhampton_Wanderers_F.C.
Even the proper page is vandalised at this moment. :-Xwhat, wanky wanky wanderers fc, nicknamed the dingles? :D
Just thought I'd keep everyone updated... Wolves won 2-1 today in The Championship against Leicester City.
Actually forget that, I don't think anyone actually cares about this lot anymore.
Also noticed was Mr Morgan picking his nose and having a chew on it :o
I must say, I found the "we hate Albion" chants rather amusing at a time when their players NEEDED their support. They were under the cosh and their fans were more interested in singing about us than supporting their football team. Really is embarrassing from them.Although at 2-0 v fulham we did song pooh on the villa?
Really can't get enough can they?
For the record, we don't care if you hate us :)
i was hoping and hoping leicester would get a draw. they huffed and puffed but alas wolves scraped 3 points. lucky so and so's! why are we so cocky about them, they are only a league below!Don't know if serious......
Updates were going on in the Championship thread mate :D

i dont think we are overly ahead of them. we thrashed them in their own back yard but they now have 25 mill and that we all know is enough to buy you quality in the premier league let alone the championship. i think they will have enough for at least playoffs, especially when they beat ipswich away 2-0 :(
Come on mate not overly ahead of them? Have you watched the wolves this season? Mid table at best... Plus they don't have 25 million... More like 15 after signing on fees and agents fees... Burnley get 15% of Fletcher alone... They are not a top championship side... Its just FACT!the quality of the championship really isnt fantastic this season and is anyones game. ipswich werent great, nor were leicester, yet wolves bagged the wins. theyve had a fairly reasonable start to their season. ok, still 15 mill is a fair base to work with, and better than a lot of championship sides can muster!
The gap between mid-table Championship and mid-table Premier League is vast. That's the gap between us and them.i just feel they are going to be top 8/9, possible of them to make the playoffs.
They should be looking to hit 3 or 4 at Peterborough tomorrow ,Posh are in a right mess.
IV got a small feeling posh could get there first point or points tomorrow..Hope your right but i cant see it... ???

Didn't they only take 700 to Ipswich in midweek last week, when we took a 1000 there in midweek for a carling cup game?
I am actually losing sleep about the extra 2k fans then get on average.this surprises me. attendances dont bother me in the slightest, means more tickets are available for every game. we still make a good amount of noise on the road and at home, and no way would i take relegation for 2,000 more people. your opinion of course but im happy being in the prem and with a slightly emptier stadium! im happy sticking with the loyal fans who come week in week out and not ones instantly looking for success.
Of course thats far more important than head-to-head records and current standings.
I would gladly sacrifice our current position and get relegated to get a few extra fans.

i hate to say it but i think they will come straight back up :( after a poor start they have come good. it is always a tough division to come out of but they will do it.

Clearly we have been shooting ourselves in the foot all these years ::) and this knuckledragger has the answer to our supposed fanbase problem!
"Relocate. The stadium's in the wrong place...that industrial land would generate far more money as a distribution centre for somebody like ToysRus, or a supermarket, perfect location.
Albion should move to somewhere west of Walsall, east of Great Barr or one of those other areas where nothing much happens, a brownfield site in need of regeneration...nearer to people with more money, places to park a car, give them a real identity and sense of belonging and a chance to build outwards, rather than them just being on the edge of everything and irritating those around them."
No mention of our Academy or the fact that we now own most of industrial land around the ground which can be used by the club for other redevelopments, and the proposed capacity increase of the ground itself.

The Dingles really have gone to town on our sub 24K attendance. The thing that gets my goat is - they really are dissillousioned. They absolutely hate it when you mention the fact that they barely scraped 5K in the lower leagues and forget how they have got to where they are now. The fact is, the were saved by the 'Golden Tit'. He fruitlessly spent millions on a new ground and team out of his love for the club. Now there is nothing wrong with this but, all of a sudden, thousands of fans started returning getting all caught up in the moment believing they were back in the big time. Over the years they of course retained many of the fans that flowed back into the club like a scene from the pied piper! But as the foundations were not laid properly, of course these attendances are slipping. Now the Dingles should pay us a little more respect than they do- we have slowly but Surely been building the foundations of a successful club and achieved this from our very own merits. There has been no 'buying of success', no sudden wave of fans appearing from nowhere and a level of patience and football understanding that many Dingles simply do not have the capacity for. Dingles should be made fully aware that any other businessman apart from Jack H, would definitely of wanted a return on their money- did this breed a 'spoiled brat' mentality?! Don't get me wrong, Peace has had his moments in the past but I am proud of the fact that we have achieved everything purely through blood, sweat and tears with a large amount of financial nous. Wolves have a better catchment no doubt, but let's just see what the next few years have in store!!
What a load of rubbish :D
Why would we move to an area that is probably has a large number of villa fans away from WEST BROMWICH or even SANDWELL ? We have a great identity at a ground we have been at since 1900. Known to spme as the famous West Bromwich Albion and known to some as Sandwell Town but whatever you call us you can always say Premier League on front of it.
Better to be on the edge of West Brom than the centre of Wolverhampton and still not be the main attraction, mind you the tramps gone now so they might be.
I've never quite understood why they call us Sandwell Town as a means of annoying us. And to top it off then saying we're from Birmingham...make your minds up!
Your ground is basically in Birmingham, you have a B postcode and an 0121 number.
I can see why they say that.
A lot of people in Birmingham think that West Bromwich is part of Birmingham.

Sako and Doumbia are carrying them at the minute.Both of them too good for that level,must be paying those two huge wages.
19,500 tonight and they go on about our attendances and how they are a bigger club. Am I missing something?People running the game need to take note,twice a week is way too expensive in the current climate. Must be 50quid for tickets alone on a walk up basis many just cant afford no matter how well his/her team is doing.

If you want to talk postcodes then Wednesbury has WS, is it in Walsall ?
NO ;D
Tchoy at the Wolves on TrialNoooooooooo!!! Does he not realise what he's doing!! :o If he signs he will be the first player to do this since 1989 (John Paskin)
That would be a very decent signing for the Wolves and I`d honestly rather still have Tchoyi than Lukaku,
cant believe Chelsea paid £18M for him cause on recent performances I wouldnt give you 18p.
Off topic maybe but Chelsea paid that for his potential, bear in mind he is still a teenager who has barely played in the premiership, it is obvious to all there is massive potential there and no one would claim he is anywhere near the finished article (himself included) so its a tad unfair to slate him yet. Chelsea had to pay that to ward off the likes of Madrid, Barca etc who were all chasing him too, they cant all be wrong can they. My personal feelings are he is going to be a huge player in the coming years and he has started OK for us and will get better as the season goes on.
Controversial i know but i agree with you
just popping in to see thought on tchoyi if this move happened
personally i hope it does, we're after a freebie or young loan realistically to help with our winger injury crisis
tychoi seems very hot and cold in performances but i think in champ you can afford to live with that more than in the premier where you need consistancy

In other dingle news..........
Dingles ladies lost to Albion ladies 4-0 today :P
Even our ladies can smash them on the pitch ;D
He's 19 has started 1 league game in which he scored the winner. He looks different class at times, he is still learning his trade as he is ONLY 19.Shame Tchoyi only played in 47 games
Tchoyi was one of the biggest donkeys I have ever seen apart from every 1 in 50 games.
Can't believe this comparison blimey ...

An average group of players that took 4 points playing your World beaters ::)
Look forward to another season of BCDs and a bit of banter. Well done for this season, you deserve it.
It's great we are both still in the best league in the World. 8)
Tchoyi. Doumbia. Ohara. Sakho. Pennant
Whilst we all have a natural dislike for these lot , I'm sure most would agree that is possibly the best midfield in that league?
Hope they come up, Derbyshire are fun and usually 6 points.
On the moulinex mix they have a thread called Black Country United, where they are discussing the idea of The Baggies and The Wolves joining together to compete with the big guns in the Premiership. Although we all know it's tongue in cheek I suggested that if they supply the money we will supply the talent. I got the usual Steve Bull comments but I then said if they combine the squads and then pick a team without being partisan then stand back and see where all the talent is.
That Sako of their's looks a tidy player, but every other position we are stronger. Doyle could probably make the bench, at best.
, but every other position we are stronger.
I read this lot are trying to nick our liquidator for tonight's game
I read this lot are trying to nick our liquidator for tonight's gameI thought the Dingles and us and banned it.
Wolves blew it, ended 2-2.
come on lets have it who was the first club to play the liquidator, i am sure both sets of fans will say it was their club. Who can officially tell us who played it firstI'd love to know too. I know for a fact it was being played at the Hawthorns in 1973, my first match, v Sunderland. 29/9/1973. The track was recorded in 1969, so it'll take someone a little older than me to confirm if it was played as soon as it was released or adopted later. To me it's an Albion tune and always reminds me of the Johnny Giles era. It was a bit of a surprise when I learned the dingles used it too, but as in so many things, we lead, they follow.

Koren set-up. This pooh really does write itself!!!meltdown on the mix tonight
1-0 down - half time at Hull.............could well be slipping into the bottom half! I have a few dingle mates and I must admit, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for them.
On a more positive note for all dingle dog 'eds.......I tell all my dingle friends exactly the same thing - 'never loose faith' , I once spoke to a tramp who told me "I may be in the gutter, but I'm staring at the stars"! ;)
Never feel sorry for a Dingle, they deserve everything they get, just had a look, Mix is going into meltdown, on about getting out the clown costumes again! ;D
Worrying times for Stale Solbacon. Another defeat. Fans are turning. Do they play Ipswich soon?29th of December ho ho ho
Didn't Hodgson recommend Stale as well?
;D
Moxey and Morgan have really started to take thier eye off the ball,dropped to 22,198 at the last match :D
I cant really see the point in increasing the ground capacity and building a museum when they will be heading
into league 1 with Walsall. At least we all know where the Jarvis and Fletcher money has gone lol!!!!!!
These two clowns seem like the other 25.000 morons who keep living on past glorys and dont seem to
realise that its 2012.
Anyone reading the mix? Apparently they are frothing at the mouth at the prospect of getting Frimpong back on loan from Arsenal, they think hes Corberan! Even one Championship said 'Doumbia, Frimpong and Sako, Wolves three degrees'
Bloody pathetic how their 'three degrees' are 3 loan players and considering that if they don't get promoted this season, they will more than likely be off!
Still don't think they'll get promoted even if they sign Frimpong. ;D
Frimpong for the Albion anybody?
Hennesseys cruciate has gone again just when he got back into full training. You have got to have some sympathy for the lad even if he does play for the custard crew. It must be pretty soul destroying having worked so hard to find the same thing goes again before youve kicked a ball.

being 4th in november means nothing if you slip up later in the season.what matters is that they dream of our history.
pioneers of european football and all.
Apparently "thehistorymakers" thinks Wolves did something that made history at some point? Something I am remiss in not dreaming about? Does anyone know what that might be?
Wikipedia has some puffery about installing pioneering lights and winning some pioneering European friendlies in the 1950s, but that can't possibly be what he's so proud of, is it?
Stadium lights and winning friendlies, the stuff of tiny dreams. :)
How old is Stefan Wolf? Unbelievably pathetic excuse of a human being!
Hilarious this forum, I feel like I've been living in a cave missing out on such great comedy. Might join for a stir
Over rated in my opinion, think WBA have saw that the season starts in 5 days and have crapped themselves
Panic buy IMO
also isnt he to alike Odemwingie (also a one season wonder imo)
I bet they're all crying losing out to Charlton for Frimpong
First English team to be called Greatest etc - Can I now apologise to all villa fans as 1982 is more recent than the 50's and so you are no longer the ones living in the past.
Pioneers of European Football - It was the national media here in England that were calling them the greatest not L'Equipe
Their innovation on the pitch was matched elsewhere, as Molineux was one of the first grounds to provide their team with floodlights in the summer of 1953, as the club also blossomed financially thanks to high-profile friendlies with top sides such as Real Madrid who all came and suffered defeat at the hands of Cullis’ men. The following series of famous "floodlit friendlies", beginning with a game against a South African XI, had a huge effect in raising the profile of the club, enthusing many such as the young Wolves fan George Best and others who were lucky enough to be able to watch the games on the BBC in some of football's first televised games. Other major club games at the time included victories over Borussia Dortmund, Valencia CF, and a 3–0 victory over Real Madrid achieved 'by indefatigable tackling, by the characteristic longflung pass and by a directness of approach that showed the Spanish the virtues of traditional English football'. ie: HOOOOOOOFFFFF
These high-profile games continued against top national sides such as Racing Club of Argentina and Spartak Moscow of the USSR, before meeting Honvéd of Hungary in a landmark game for English football, televised live on the BBC. Faith in the English national team was at an all time low, and Wolves faced a Honvéd team that included Ferenc Puskás and many other members of the "Magical Magyars", 1954 World Cup finalists and one of the historically great sides that had recently humbled England twice. In front of the watching nation, Wolves came from two goals down at half time to beat the Hungarian side 3–2, which coupled with their previous European exploits, lead the national media to proclaim Wolves "Champions of the World". This was the final spur for Gabriel Hanot, the editor of L'Équipe, who had long campaigned for a Europe wide club tournament to be played under floodlights.
“ Before we declare that Wolverhampton Wanderers are invincible, let them go to Moscow and Budapest. And there are other internationally renowned clubs: A.C. Milan and Real Madrid to name but two. A club world championship, or at least a European one – larger, more meaningful and more prestigious than the Mitropa Cup and more original than a competition for national teams – should be launched. "? — Gabriel Hanot, editor of L'Équipe
Just been having a look on the mix and it seems everyone is impressed by what Solbakken(sp?) says but a fair proportion are less than impressed by what is happening on the pitch. Without knowing a thing about how they're playing or what he says, I just wondered if he's their version of Tony Mowbray? Feel I'm doing Tony a bit of a dis service there as there were many positives to his time with us, but also some pretty obvious flaws. Does anyone pay attention enough to the Wolves to know if there is a case for this? Or am I talking tripe? :Dha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ............WHO ?
A thread has been started on Wilfs Mad about whether Di Matteo should be their new manager.
Priceless.
They have had one good side in a history of mediocrity and obscurity,and they cling to those ten years like limpets to a rock.
Even the football they played back then had become old fashioned due to West Bromwich Albion,Tottenham and Man U.
Fantasists the lot of them.
You don't think that's just a bit unfair? Even if you toss out 1949 through 1960, they still have two FA Cups and two League Cups.
Every time Albion have beat us in my lifetime they have weasled and cheated their way to victory and always had the rub of the green. The cheating and lucky breaks they got in the last game was ridiculous.
A classic from the Mix
This is as someone said earlier PURE COMEDY GOLD

Hi everyone; Wolves fan in peace here. First of all I must congratulate you all on your success so far - quite remarkable. I also must apologise for that poster on the Mix - he might have been joking but I don't know.
I hope to be as reasonable as possible on here - I certainly do not mean any harm. I actually quite like and respect your club if I'm BRUTALLY honest with myself. :)
I have been particularly interested, naturally, in your posts about our history. My grandad, who was seventeen when Wolves first won the title in 1954, said to me that West Brom were actually unlucky not to win the league. It is my dream to see both of our clubs challenging at the top of the Prem.
However I disagree with divinewind's statement that we have had one good team in our history. No we have not. Obviously our fifties team was by far our best, but our thirties team and our seventies team were also excellent (our seventies one had John Richards, Derek Dougan, Mike Bailey et al FFS!)
As for now, Solbakken is the man. He talks such sense and if given time (some of our 'fans' do not seem to be able to give him even till Christmas however) he will make us big again. I actually hope we follow your model (I think every Wolves fan does, as much as some would hate to admit it) but will we? Who knows.
I wish West Bromwich Albion every success this season and I hope that we will join you soon.
Welcome to the forum mate. Good to have another Liam on here which talks sense :D
At least you've been brutally honest which is more than can be said for some Wolves supporters so fair play to you. What have you made of Solbakken? I realise it's a transitional period but the comments I've heard from Wolves supporters aren't happy about the football on the pitch. What's the football like? I know the emphasis is on ball retention.
Thanks mate ;)
I am firmly in the pro-Staale camp. I cannot understand ANYONE who wants him out. Who would we bring in? There is no-one (maybe Lord Jesus Mick for some but OH NO he's at Ipswich who've conceded eleven in two away games! Oh well! We'd still pee this league under him! ::)) The thing about Wolves fans is that we are used to long ball football - good long ball (Stan Cullis) and bad long ball (Mick McCarthy) and some just have not got the patience to watch passing football. Right now I have a feeling the football we currently play is not the style Solbakken wants us to play. It's just that some of our old guard (Ward for instance) are not technically good enough to adapt. We certainly do have an emphasis on ball retention - there are times when we hang on to it too much; we pass it sideways too often when we could easily pass forward - but that it is due to two reasons:
a) One I have already mentioned: some players are not technically good enough to adapt and Solbakken needs at least two transfer windows to get the team he wants;
b) Solbakken is too stubborn. He has only once diverted from a rigid 442 and that was our best performance of the season away at Blackburn. Even the football now, which I am convinced he does not want us to play, is simply not suited to a narrow 442 formation.
We will have to wait and see. I must say though; you lot play some good stuff from what I have seen of you (MOTD highlights!)
As you have said, i think it is the players who simply arent good enough. It was no good bringing in a good manager with good philosophies when you have players like Steven Ward & Karl Henry.
Henry's OK; it's Ward, Berra, Hunt etc who we must get rid of.I've said before, whilst we have what I call a good rivalry with wolves, at least (most) of their fans are aware of where/what they are unlike that lot in b6.

Economical with the truth? That's brilliant.
I take it the people who were stating Albion were 'lucky' to beat us 5-1 are off too then? That's bending the truth far greater than I ever have
What happened to Ginger Chimp!
I do think the Wolves Liam is over rating Henry, showed his limitations in the Premiership, the Wolves squad is similar to some of ours under Megson, robust but technically limited, as we know, transition from such a style takes time and patience, will Wolves fans have that, history tends to suggest not.

Would love wolves back in the top flight and if you really want to make me smile please exchange places with the villa :D
Anyway, I think stale must be good because Roy hodgson said so :D, I do think that your midfield does look the strongest in that league doumbia, sakho, Ohara etc , its a shame that frimpong wouldn't go back, problems are clearly up front and wing backs?
Anyway thanks for being quite fair, next year you will be able to see more of us on a tues/weds on match on champions league match choice :D
We need reinforcements up front ASAP; Doyle and SEB cannot hit a cow's backside with a banjo. Sako's been scoring our goals. Sigurdarson is not even a striker - he plays in the hole (one in the hole you say? :D) so we need a pacy striker in January. Wing backs? We don't need any - all we need is a sodding left back.
What about Frank Nouble?
Don't think Solbakken rates him. He was his first signing IIRC, so I believe that because he was new he LISTENED to Terry Connor (:o) and signed him.Would it be so unrealistic that we help.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2241254/Alex-McLeish-linked-Wolves-job.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
Mcleish has proven he can get a team of average players out of the championship. I see no reason why he can't at wolves.
He also has a lot to prove.
Im not sure mcleish would be a bad thing for wolves at all, he suit there style of play etc.
McLeish is the man you want if your club is totally, completely overmatched against their competition. He should send his CV to San Marino or Andorra.
If we sack Solbakken and appoint McCleish there will quite rightly be riots.riots-gangs of savages carry out acts of lawlessness, sometimes incorporating criminal damage to persons vehicles

You lot riot over anything....Hughes revealed his Boing Boing tshirt and you lot used it as justification for attacking a coach load of pensioners.
Wolves fans wouldn't give a toss about Hughes and his past if not for the fact he is an Albion fan and an ex Albion player.
Does come into it but the simple fact is he is a murderer who should be rotting in jail as we speak.
Was that the 2-0 victory?! They were pretty rubbish building up to the 5-1 game.I think if they had lost 5-1 to anyone else there would`nt have been the knee jerk reaction there was. Although they would have probably still gone down....I think they would have been in a much stronger position with Mick in charge than they are now
I remember them winning the week before against QPR and thinking that would give them the confidence boost the team and their fans needed to beat us, well, thankfully, I was wrong!

We wouldn't have the long term plan though.The same plan when every new manager is appointed?
Christ almighty stale gets a stay of execution.He might get his car washed this weekLets be honest, if you cant beat Peterborough or Bristol City at the moment, then its time to give up and go for a carreer change
I'm surprised nobody else has posted that Wolves (along with Man U Arsenal Newcastle and Spurs) had been in essence caught tax dodging. While we paid the most in the PL at least of not the football league.
Whilst I am not in any way condoning what happened when some tossers decided to throw bricks at a coach, since when was it a coach full of pensioners?
Wolves fans despise Hughes because he is a murderer.
The report in the Express and Star was clear that it was a coach which contained a number of elderly supporters and children, so yes it did contain pensioners and young kids. Would have been visible throught the glass as well. Every team has poor elements, but this reflected really badly on you.
Remember when some of your lot threw bricks at one of our coaches in the nineties at the Snorethorns.
But every team has its neanderthal set of fans and the overwhelming majority are sound.

Unfortunately your club has a reputation for attacking normal fans so the attack on Notts County fans coaches was not a one-off.

Although it was just eight days after Wolves had celebrated their first win in two months, and all five Albion goals owed something to good fortune, the general mood at Molineux was that he had to go.
2011-12 - Sacked on 13 February following a 5-1 home defeat by Albion (all of whose five goals were deflected)
Out of interest was reading this article on the bbc: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20598807

He thinks Molineux is "the golden palace"? ??? Sounds like a Chinese restaurant.Hahaha love it. Think most of our goals did take some sort of nick to deflect into the goal yep, but i wouldn't call them lucky goals, just well worked.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dx5Ys2yqcEBrilliant :D
;D
Only the first and fourth goals were deflected. And even then, given the amount of shots we had its not too much of a surprise that we got a couple of deflected goals - we had 26 shots - by the law of averages a few are going to be deflected if you let a team take that many against you.all of them came off a wolves player before passing the goalline i think, even if it was the keeper. the 1st and 4th came off other players
I think very few people who watched that game would argue against the margin of victory we had, it could well have been 5-1 in the first half alone.

"I would be lying if I said it was nothing special because it is. My last game here (a 5-1 defeat against West Brom) I had to go out of the back door and I will never forget that. It was a real horrible day for me. So to have won and to have had the applause and ovation I got I think shows what most Wolves fans really thought about me as opposed to the minority that would not let me leave by the front door." -- Mick McCarthy

Cretins. It may have been a minority, but there must have been quite a few of them.
Wolves - 28 points in 22 Chumpionship games, West Brom - 33 points in 20 Premiership games. Different gravy.
Remember this date 12 Feb 2012
Remember this score Wolves 1 - 5 West Brom
Remember the embarrassment during and ever since
Remember the smug faces of the Baggies fans
Sorry, Mick, I appreciate all your efforts, but even Stan Cullis would have walked after that (hold on, just checking my Wolves book to make sure the Great One didn't lose 1-5 to the s***-aarrrgggghhhh no, he did nearly, 1-4 1952, damn, and 2 years later, we were champions)
OK Mick, we WILL have you back

Six points of the bottom three now, very dire from Wolves. A tricky cup tie at Luton next for Wolves.There's only one nick Owen ....
I would absolutely LOVE it if they went into League 1.
I would absolutely LOVE it if they went into League 1.often a kick up the backside for ex premier league teams. swansea and norwich both found their revival after poor starts in league one. i can't see it happening myself, but the fans are starting to panic a bit. i think theyll finish around 8th-10th, as theyll get rid of stale and have a bit of a revival.
Have they got any bones we can pick fromSako and thats about it.
Sako and thats about it.And he would be worth taking, give them 3mil (towards another stand) and we would have a very fast out ball.
Sako and thats about it.

Given the context of the post from Turkish, what I posted was meant in utter irony. I thought that was fairly obvious, but apparently not? I'm an Albion fan. (If you really want to know more about me, send me a PM, please.)
Who the hell are you exactly?
Some of the things you come out with are bizarre to say the least.
Is it a culture thing with you (no offence to Quakes and other American posters on here) as you really seem to struggle with the idea of a rivalry.
No Albion fan would EVER 'love' to see that. Not a single one.
Fair enough. Apologies for the tone of my post but you have to admit it came across as strange.(As I've said so often it must be boring, I was raised in household of a huge Albion fan who himself came of age during an unusual time in English football history (late 1940s and early 1950s) when local rivalries were muted by post-WWII deprivation. Dad had me late in life and he's from a much older generation. My grandfather was born in Aston, and my grandmother in West Brom. As weird as it seems, I was taught -- and I mean, taught -- to love all West Midlands clubs and Albion most of all. Not to love them all is as foreign to me hating a family member. Weird? OK. I accept it's absolutely not the norm, and I am doing my best to grapple with the realities of modern Albion fandom.)
He will be gone this week before they play Blackburn at home on Friday night.I hope not, he's doing a sterling job ?
Gutted. They were heading in the right direction.
Megson, anybody?
They need a short, sharp kick up the backside. Megson would do that.
Or Di Matteo if they want to change the club 'philosophy'.
Good chance an ex-baggie could take over.
Dean Saunders has been approached...

I'd die a happy man if they appointed Steve Bull!!!
I think Dean Saunders would be a half decent appointment?? Doncaster were absolutely dead and buried when he took over but he won a few games with them and did pretty much all he could. Now they are flying in a pretty strong league 1. Personally hope they go for Ince as he just about suits them lot, bloody horrible bloke who il never fully forgive for calling himself the guvnor yet consistently bottle taking a penalty for england.
They're going down y'know! I can sense it
Dean Saunders didn't do a great job of keeping Doncaster up. How is it possible to run a well supported, financially stable club so badly. Jesus.
They were stone bottom and didnt have a squad near as good as wolves is at least on paper
If Saunders is appointed we will be relegated. I want O'Driscoll - at least he has more Championship experience than just getting relegated like bloody Saunders.
Go on appoint "God" Bull.
"Ermmmmmm ermmmmm ermmmm" " I hate Albion". "Goooin bak to me cave now" ;D

He was sacked via TEXT MESSAGE apparently. Morgan and Moxey are an absolute disgrace if true.
http://metro.co.uk/2013/01/05/wolves-sack-stale-solbakken-by-text-after-luton-defeat-3339651/
Wolves have sacked manager Stale Solbakken after little over six months at the Molineux helm – with the Norwegian receiving a text to inform him of his fate.
The Midlands outfit have suffered a terrible run of form since being relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season and currently sit 18th in the Championship, just six points above the drop zone, with today’s 1-0 FA Cup defeat to non-league Luton Town the final straw for the club’s owners.
Norwegian television channel TV2 confirmed Solbakken was carrying out an interview with them when he received a text from Wolves chairman Steve Morgan to say his services were no longer required.
But having watched his side win just three of their last 17 outings, the 44-year-old admitted he expected questions to be asked.
‘There will be a lot of questions over me but that is normal, that’s football and I have to take that, it’s no problem,’ he said after today’s defeat. ‘I can put it right. I’m not embarrassed by the result.’
The Norwegian, along with his assistant Johan Lange and coach Patrick Weiser, were all relieved of their duties just hours after the final whistle at Kenilworth Road.
A Wolves statement read: ‘The club would like to offer their thanks and best wishes to Stale, Johan and Patrick.’
Former Bolton boss Owen Coyle is currently the favourite to fill the vacancy, with Doncaster manager Dean Saunders also linked with the role.

Why don't Steve and Jez just turn Molineux into one big whorehouse/ crack den and have done with it.
Would be way classier than our current set up?
Pass the sick bag.
Ashamed for the first time in my 50 years on this planet to be associated with this club as a supporter. It's not a unique situation that a good man has been traduced and $$$$ed on from a great height but...
Board - The sacking, (debate later whether it was necessary) was in such a shameful fashion that it beggars belief. You cannot sack owners but the Sainted Jez of Moxey just has to take a very long hard look at himself, away from the PR, and think about it. His position, regardless of any personal merits, is simply untenable.
Players - Gutless, spineless, TALENTLESS $$$$ers. Their displays are worthy of far lower arenas than the English Championship. Truly, I don't know how they can draw their pay and look at their faces in the mirror when they can be arsed to shave. THIS IS THE TRUTH - I'd rather we sold the lot off, whether it be at a loss or not, for ten Number Six and just played the youths under the captaincy of McAlinden. $$$$ the lot off to go and play for Sligo or Partizan Tirana.
"Fans" - The successive hunting down of Mick, TC, and SS in under 12 months gives a completely new meaning to the word steadfast. A whole new generation of 'I want it now' internet superbrats seems now to be the only voice on the board.
Physically sick.
Just a sample of the atmosphere on Molineux Mix:That was a very well written post. But what was the bloke going on about in reference to "The successive hunting down of Mick, TC, and SS in under 12 months"? Is the idea that the unofficial Wolves online forums are serving powerful enough to affect board decisions? Really?

If the Wolves board were so insistent on the change of philosophy then surely keeping Stale and allowing him the January and summer windows to transform the squads would have been a better solution? There is a lot of dross in that squad, the remains of the McCarthy era and Wolves could do with starting a fresh and getting rid of those players which are looking rather stale and outdated. That's why I thought they'd stick with Stale and continue with their new approach and allow him the time to transform the squad.
I feel like the club doesn't deserve Stale. After the vandalism of his car (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-20540393), he must have begun to feel seriously let down by supporters. That's a very ugly thing. I would said "see ya" after that.
Stale will probably see the sacking as a blessing some day.

I haven't seen much of Wolves, but the players should hold themselves accountable more so than Stale as some of the performances they have apparently been putting in have been abject and although the manager shall have his critics, you would expect much better from the players. There replacement shall be interesting, do they continue with this approach or scrap it and continue to lack any sort of forward plan.
I totally agree. However, our incompetent board are just that and probably bowed to player/fan power, or both. I am very unhappy with the decision.
I'd listened to Stale and what he had came out with in the press and he'd talk a very good game, he could see where the club needed to improve to change the philosophy and it appears that was the Morgan and Moxey project, I just don't see why he hasn't been given the time to change the playing squad in the summer. The first season is always the hardest to bounce back, purely because there is so much turmoil during the summer, but it's even harder for a club like Wolves whose players are severely limited and are based on industry. We were always fortunate we had the technical footballers to carry us out the division so I would say that the Wolves supporters expected to much in what is a period of transition - however, they didn't deserve the lack of application from their players who left their manager hanging to dry.
The lack of footballing nous on the Wolves board is why the club will continue to fall short.
Agreed, although we have now got a DoF in Kevin Thelwell (one of the youngest people ever to gain a UEFA Pro Licence I think) and Head of Recruitment Stuart Webber (discovered Sterling for Liverpool). They are meant to report to the board but I don't think the board listen.
It's interesting to see that Wolves have tried to copy us and our (Continenetal?) model without any success

Just seen on SSN, they've got their man!!How I'd loff if they sack him by the end of the season when they are relegated
Saunders it is!
It seems they have learned from the mistakes of last time and had someone lined up as it as happened so quickly.The right bloke to take them into obscurity I hope you mean :-)
Is it the right bloke? Who knows!

Best version of the bunker I have seen :P
So they've gone for Dean Saunders. Like all appointments it will be a risk but even more so in his case. I would have thought an experience mananger would be brought in to try and halt the slide. Instead they've gone for a relative novice who has only worked in lower level football.
Sometimes that works, it did with us with RDM but I'd say more often than not it doesnt.
Still smacks of the cheap option to me when there are far better candidates available.
They needed to sack Stale in order to get the fans back onside but whilst some will back Saunders I'd say the majority will be disappointed by the appointment.
To play devils advocate they could have gone with a complete novice like we did?? :o
Did we though? Clarke is employed as a head coach. I'd argue there isnt a better 'coach' with a more impressive CV in the Premier League.

No no no no, a million times no......we didnt.
How many times do I have to re-itterate the fact that we wanted a HEAD COACH, not a manager and as a head coach there was not a better candidate in the country.
We have a head coach, not a manager. Responsibility for transfers etc. fall to Kevin Thelwell, just as they do for Dan Ashworth at your place.
New boss to take charge at Molineux
Wolves are delighted to confirm that Dean Saunders is to become the Club’s new manager.
Compensation has been agreed with Doncaster Rovers to allow the 48-year-old to take over at Molineux following Saturday’s departure of Ståle Solbakken.
http://www.wolves.co.uk/news/article/dean-saunders-confirmed-070113-582984.aspx
Unfortunately you're dreaming that you have our clubs set up.
Even though I know much more about what is happening behind the scenes at my club than you do.
I'm sure this new fella will pick up just where Stale left off!
I'm sure this new fella will pick up just where Stale left off!Theres lovely !!
I see they have sold the talented Frank Nouble to Ipswich, we told you so. ;DI cant beleive that of all the players he could choose to take from Wulfs, Mad Mick has chosen Nouble ??
for all my sins im going in the blackburn end on friday. a rovers supporting friend has lured me in( i couldnt bring myself to sit in a sea of fanta) so lets hope they sink them even lower! on the contrary i have to get the train up to wolverhampton so it could be a good chance to do a boing boing chant on the way ;D
I was in with the Forest fans when they beat the dingles 2-1 this season - I absolutely loved it. I managed to get the boing boing going in the block I was stood in; sadly the Stevie Bull chant didn't quite catch on though.its gotta be done lol. think we'll be in the stan cullis stand probably, as blackburn won't take more than a few hundred. think its hard to pick a winner, probably a 1-1 draw.
The crest of a wave, and all that. We will win, 2-0 or 2-1.do you think blackburn fans will get the stan cullis stand for fridays game?
The bubble will burst in a month though.
come on rovers. had to ring the wolves ticket office to find out i couldnt get a seat next to my pals in the blackburn end. nay matter, but i feel that wolves are going to dominate tonight unfortunately :(
My mate also phoned up for a ticket. He asked kick off time and they said 'what time can you make it?' ;Dyep sounds like the wolves ticket office to me. i asked if it was unreserved seating and they said 'yes we do have seating'. :D bahahahaha
You can tell if a manager is going to be a success by what substitutions he makes and Ive got
to admit Dean Saunders done alright tonight with that, he seems to know what he`s doing
& they probably got those caps in the 53/4 season when Albion players were picked for international duty when we had important games & Wolves players were not ! Was it something like 7 games in 12 days we had to play at the end of the season ? Should've been 2 titles a piece & they'd have nothing to bang on about !
http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/188293-wolves/
Highly thought of by the Sheffield Wednesday fans. Apparently the worst side to visit Hillsborough this season.
One win in seven now, I really feel they could go down this season, both Barnsley and Bristol won on Tuesday too.i really thought theyd be giving it a good go this season but theyve really struggled after going down. it might take another relegation for them to realise, and come back in norwich/swansea style? at the mo, i think theyll stay up, but barnsley are under a slight revival with flitcroft at the helm and they are only 5 points ahead of the bottom 3, having played a game more. worrying times at dingle park
They had an incredibly poor squad in the Prem that has turned out to be incredibly average in the Championship. They have a long way to go and no coaching structure is going to alter the fact that they have too many poor players. Amuses me when Saunders says Doyle is the first name on the teamsheet when he has done nothing for three seasons or so. Says it all for them really
albionbest so far, so good. they are, as it stands, 21st in the league, 2 points above the bottom 3!
Hope afew results ago against them this afternoon - that would really get them sweating !It's the soap dodging that makes them sweat :D
It can't happen, can it? ;D:P oh god, it could become a port vale to stoke rivalry(almost). in some ways, going down to league uno could be the remaking of them, if that doesnt sound lame. they aren't like barnsley or peterborough. they have experience of being in the premier league; like narwich or s'ton, who found revival in their darkest days.
Clarke and Downing at the Wolves tonight , Sako anybody ?
Why keep changing the coach when its been plainly obvious for a season and a half that the group of players they have are unbelievably average. They are getting exactly what they deserve for total complacency and failure to recognise the warning signs. Im beginning to think they actually could do the double. Back to back relegations! Any team that wants to function consistently has to have a strong spine. Ikeme Johnson Henry Doyle.........hardly strikes fear into the opponents does it?
Clarke and Downing at the Wolves tonight , Sako anybody ?
Cause I'm sure at £42 a ticket and on a bad run they would take a lot more than us.On a work night when it's near enough impossible to get out of Liverpool that late.
Albion away support ( 1 2 3 ... Last PageWho gives a Toss anyway, remember the old song " we dont care what the Wanderers say, what the hell do we care, for we only know that there's going to be a show and West Bromwich Albion will be there"
The mix knocking our away support again, i suppose its all they have on us
It's just that StefanWolves troll/clown trying to knock our away support. Even most of the MolMixers wish he would f*** off.
Fact is that we destroyed that club on that day, setting them back for many years, they hurried into sacking the only man who could save them.
What they have not realised yet is that if Walsall continue thier current form and Wolves continue theirs, they will be in different divisions next season, "even worse than Walsall they will sing".
The fact that they now have a thread regarding Walsall speaks wonders of how far these knuckle draggers have fallen! I just hope they dont expect to be outside the Hawthorns with there buckets again!
Blues not looking great either they could easily get sucked into a Chumpionship relegation battle - can you imagine if Villa Wolves and Blues all got relegated, we finished top 7 and Walsall got promoted!?!?Now that would be a party if it happened.

Dean Saunders seems to know what he`s doing and I think Wolves will take all 3 points,
everyone knows if you want to be a successful team you have to build from the back which is what he`s trying
to do, Danny Batth and Kasper Gorkss could end up been a decent partnership for them.
With thier best 11 playing I seriously believe they could give us a game.
Ok - I'm waiting for the punchline.....

'give us a game' lmfao...with Fletcher, Jarvis and Kightly they lost 5-1.
I do agree regarding Batth and Gorks though. I think their problem this season has been due to a McCarthy hangover, i.e. the squad was made of battlers who lost their battle, which means their work ethic was zero and made them lose.
With new blood they can at least have more of a fight about them which can only be a good thing. s
Managed to scrap a point but Barnsley with a game in hand can go above them if they win.A travelling miserly 1500 supporters for a midlands Darby when your team needs its support.Whats all that about
The one thing these mugs try and use against us is our support and even then they come up unstuck.
Molineux Mix seems to have been taken over by villa fans, always harping on about history and attendances
Quite funny that they could only muster 1500 for a local game on a saturday 3pm, still they are the best supported team in the midlands... :P
There was actually just over 2000 Wolves fans there today. Wolves hadn't won for 11 games prior to the match and are 4th from bottom of the Championship. Derby is hardly a 'derby' either. Or put another way, Monday night or not, there were 1300 more away fans there than at Anfield earlier this week.Is chomper biting ?

Chomper, sweetheart, we also took 5,500 to Leicester for a midweek Carling Cup tie. Care to tell us how many you took to the league encounter a few weeks back? Shame that such a "great" club with "great" history has to dig for something to moan at their far superior rivals.;D wolves, ay they ;D
Graet fans with great history......pmsl
How many of those great fans saw the Chorley cup debacle ???.........350 was it !!
I rest my case...........bunch of f***ing clowns, p**s off back to where you belong, the lower reaches so you can boast of all the goals your centre forward scores in those leagues. Our record scorer did his talking in the premier/first division against the top clubs, not in the third/forth divisions against pub players
I honstly cant see them coming straight back up.
Does anybody know of any streams showing this game?
Had a look on First row sports and vipox and there is none there.
1500 to 2000 is not bad for a team about to drop into Div 1 in all fairness, sure we used to take more there in the Championship.
Colonel Saunders OUT!!! ;D
I didnt think that they would become that bad. They havnt won since Blackpool away 21st December. A lot of this time teams played three seasons in the Premiership and help them win the Championship.
they really are not happy at all, just come across this on facebookto be fair, things are just so bad at the molineux atm i sympathise with them a bit. since our 5-1 thrashing of the jaffa cakes(a fantastic day indeed), they have just gone from one sorry saga to the next, and on a grim tuesday night at barnsley, if that was the albion in such a predicament it'd be hard to hold back your emotion.they could well be second from bottom if peterborough win one of their two games, and its going to be hard to hold on to their championship status. bad bad times for them indeed.

Next four fixtures:
Cardiff home
Watford Home
Millwall Away
Forest Away
Can't see them getting too many points from these games so their next match after those four v Bristol City could be a wooden spoon decider.
Deano! Deano!

December 29th. You mean the day everyone is off work because it's christmas and new year and in high spirits and has lots of christmas money? Oh and not forgetting your drip of a 'legend', bully tipping you to challenge for the title within 5 years of that point.
I'm glad he can 'remember correctly' an attendance figure from over 2 years ago of a specific game off the top of his head. He probably still wears a bumbag and light-up trainers.
Mulumbu is 10x the player of Yacob, I haven't been impressed with Yacob whenever I've seen him. Looks off the pace
Exactly. Another classic by this stefanwolves:
'The pace'. Ha.
I love it. Their deluded fans back where they belong. Rot there for all I care, be back to 3k attendances soon.
I just feel sorry for Dean Saunders. I love him as a man, I feel he will be given no chance at Molineux. He's a good, genuine, football bloke.

"We could have scored 10."

I listened to the game and I don't think they had 10 shots let alone score 10 goals! And can someone explain to me what the second quote means?

I realised the other day that I've become one of those Prem Fans who only takes note of Prem stuff.... 10 years ago i'd have sworn i'd never become one, but as this is now our home, so be it!
I am the same, used to always know what was going on what ever league we were in a little disgusted with myself, at last with this new failure I have I won't be able to see what the dingles are doing next season ;DYou mean there's other leagues ?
You mean there's other leagues ?yes mate, i think outside of the championship you've got powerleague? thats as much as i know ;D
When Wolves got relegated they got rid of too many players too quick in my opinion,I think they still have Hammill? He came off the bench for them on Tuesday.
the likes of Kightly, Hammill, Guedioura, and Milijas should never of been allowed to leave.
When us and Newcastle went down we managed to keep hold of our top players even if most of them
didnt really want to be there. If Wolves want to move forward then surely they need to bring in some sort
of director who knows about the game.

If players want to leave then you just dont give into their demands like Moxey and Morgan have done,
you have to be firm like we`ve been with Odemwingie for the last two seasons,
Wolves are only in this mess cause of the those 2 clowns.
I dont know about other Albion fans but iam actually starting to feel abit sorry for the dingle fans.
Cardiff doing the business, this sorry shower wont be pitching up at the hawthorns for quite a few years, not sure whether im pleased or disappointed, what am I saying?? Its great! Think Morgan will look to get out of this if they go down and then their problems really could multiply
99% of me would be very pleased to see them in League 1 but there is 1% of me who does miss the Albion v Wolves matches.
Have to say I do enjoy the edge to these fixtures and the sense of occasion that you get in the build up and on the day itself, that extra ingredient that is missing when we play the likes of Fulham / Norwich (and no disrespect to either of those clubs, both sets of fans of which I like).
As I say though, the overriding thought is to enjoy watching them suffer.
Anyone recall our visits to the Custard Bowl in the 1990's when the Wolves fans in the upper tier used to wave £10 / £20 notes at us in the lower tier to gloat about the fact their owner was a multi-millionaire while Albion were lurching from one financial crisis to the next with no end in sight.
How things have changed.
Its amazing to think that they were 3rd in October.
They were 3rd in the Prem in 2011.How the mighty have fallen?!

Protest planned for next Friday
Two thoughts on that. Good luck with a "Peaceful Protest" at the Custard Bowl and secondly the bit about how much Wolves mean to the Black Country. I think the better half of the the Black Country think Morgan & Moxey are doing a grand job.
Wolverhampton isnt the Black Country! Despite what they all think.
Its amazing to think that they were 3rd in October.If they hadnt had those fluke results earlier in the season theyd be well adrift by now, dont know if its the luck levelling out or if theyre truly this bad.

Im trying not to get too carried away as they have enough quality to get out of this mess yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if they beat second place Watford next week, but they really are dicing with death at the moment. It would be a dream come true if they could drop into League 1 season, especially given the trouble Sheffield Utd and Sheffield Wednesday have had getting out of the league in past seasons.
Do they have any parade planned
Yes I think they are throwing in freedom of the city to bully at the same time so they get their moneys worth........ :)I think you mean freedom of the (small) town?. :D
That new extension they built is going to come in very handy next season isn't it? Gives somewhere for the pigeons to loiter on. ;D...and we all know which way they´ll be facing. :D
Fair play to the Dingles for organising a peaceful protest.
I recall 'peaceful' protests in the early 90s against Woking on Halfords Lane and on the pitch at Gay Meadow, Shrewsbury. ;D
Saunders says Championship football is a must: “Yes, otherwise we won’t be able to afford them.
"And another thing that has pleased me is in Ladbrokes, we’re not one of the three favourites to get relegated and they don’t normally get it wrong.

First time I've ever heard a manager quote a bookies.
Surely this is adequate reason to bring back the fly-over we flirted with last season? A nice, simple "BOING, BOING!!" going over the ground would tip them over the edge.
seems very unproffessional to quote a bookies. i was listening to his interview on talksport earlier (i know i shouldnt listen to that pile of rubbish but i was very bored) thought they raised quite a good point for once though saunders kept on saying 'if we go down.....' didnt sound very positive at all. still cant get over the fact they appointed connor, stale and now this clown. times like these make me cherish peace even more!
Apparently should the Wolves get relegated, those fans who bought the 'early bird' will be reimbursed.... with a free pie and pint!
...
There was also a mention of the Liquidator and Moxey firmly insisted judging by his reply that it wouldn't be returning due to them wanting to be a family club and they could not condone the swearing behind it. ...

Something real to add to their list of silly and imaginary records.
Only 13 teams have ever been relegated in successive seasons in the 125-year history of the Football League. No team has managed the feat twice. But that is one unwanted record which could be coming Wolves' way if they maintain their current descent towards League One.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21589401 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21589401)
They had 3 consecutive relegations in the 80s. Straight from the 1st division (Prem today) to Division 4.
I guess they're counting that as a single instance of being "relegated in successive seasons".
how did there protest go? ;D

If they are still in the bottom 3 with 4 games left then I will start to believe. I just feel at this point they have enough to stay up. Could do with Sako picking up a knock.
As promising a point is vs Watford of all clubs, I still think they got schooled today at times and the difference in class was very clear by the passing and shape of the two teams.just a pain peterborough and bristol city are away from home :( hopefully one can pull off a win and knock them down to second bottom.
The fact remains that although it's better than a loss, they could still be bottom by tomorrow night with more games being played.

Just read the article where Stephen Hunt said the songs the fans were singing were embarrassing. What were they singing? Was it the old ".....we're by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen and it's........"
I thought they were pretty funny to be honest. They were singing the 'ole, ole, ole' when they passed the ball to a team mate. Followed off by "it's just like watching Brazil". They were then asking Moxey, Morgan and Saunders to start the wave.
Towards the end they were singing the name of Solbakken and when Fosterieti (sp) missed his chances the Wolves fans were singing "sign him up, sign him up" :D
Of course bitter rivals, but even a good number of Albion fans might cheer a Wolves 2-0 win at Millwall tonight! I know a good number of Wolves fans, and I think we forget to remember how well run we are with JP as our chairman.
Wolves probably played Millwall at a good time just before the FA Cup 6th rd. The big test is can they build on it and get wins especially at Molineux
Not a chance, the more consecutive relegations that vile club suffers the better as far as I'm concerned.I'm with you 100% on that one mate, any Albion fan who does have sympathy with this lot should be shot !....or have their season ticket revoked !
They have been on a dire run of late and find themselves now out the bottom three.What a poo league
So we can safely say that petewolf is the person behind https://twitter.com/MoliMixMeltdown as its comments are word for word the sameUnless its a copy and paste expert on the wind up ::)
Whilst Pete was wrong, you lot are being a bit two faced ain't ya? Steve Bull ring any bells? You lot won't stop insulting him when all he did was score goals for Wolves. Have we ever insulted Bomber Brown? I even know some Baggies who insult Billy Wright!
BTW - I watched that programme last night and it was quite decent I thought.
What do you expect when Mr Intelligence is all over the papers, on the pitch spouting garbage calling us Sandwell Town and going on about you lot challenging for the Prem title ? Theres plenty of your own who take the pee out of him and just wish he'd shut it at times.
Last season when you had that decent start and he was in the express and star saying it was the start of big things and you would be challenging for the Prem title within 5 years
Add that to him on the pitch before the play off game and you wonder why people take the pee
He was a good goalscorer, pity he never had the belief in himself to try a higher level and took the comfort zone and safety at wolves. His international goals came against low ranked countries, much the same as other players who failed to kick on for one reason or another. Football is full of players with excellent lower league scoring records who failed at a higher level or didn't even attempt it. Question is why was he not given a chance at a higher level ? despite his record there wasn't clubs banging on the door at wolves to sign him and if there had been the club would have had to take one of the offers purely as they needed the money.
He didn't move on because he loved it here. Why would one move if one likes it somewhere? He was a different breed to today's bunch - he had loyalty. This is precisely the reason why not many were interested in him (although he was about to go to Coventry in 93 I think and then had a change of heart) - he was extremely unlikely to want to move. and And the bit I have bolded I don't really understand. When Bully was banging goals in our finances were OK again. We didn't need the money at all. What exactly are you implying may I ask?
Chris Wood has scored for his country, Chris Wood scores in the Championship, similar standard to Bull or maybe better.
You say your finances were okay so if a club came in with a big money offer it would have been rejected ?
As he was our best player then yes, unless of course the fee was astronomical.
You say loyalty but isn't it a footballers dream to play at the highest level and win trophies ?
It is, but what is wrong with being loyal to a club where the fans love you, you love the club and you score goals galore? I wish players these days had some loyalty.
Comparing Steve Bull to Chris Wood? Oh dear. ;D
I'll just wait for him to score 306 goals at Leicester and then I may take you seriously.
I went to the forest wolves game today in the forest end. The dingles were awful, and showed little passion, honestly think there going down

What rubbish. I was there and we were magnificent - sang all game. We also took around 2,300 there. I'm sorry, but whatever you say about our fans, taking that many fans to an away game against the form team when you're struggling so much down at the bottom is loyalty.
Would expect around 22-23,000 at Molineux next week for our most important game for years.
How about a nice cheeky bid for Sako ?
Wolves have some half decent Championship players but none of them look fit so I`d be getting rid of
Tony Daley if I was them.

Nasty rumours going around that they want Rosenberg on loan.
Cant see that happening. Hes hardly endeared himself to Albion fans as it is. Imagine him going there and scoring the goals to keep them up. :o
We quite simply HAVE to win on Saturday. It is arguably our most important game for nearly thirty years. If we win, things will look up again. If we draw, it will be bad for us but good for Brizzle, and if we lose it will be extremely difficult to see a way out for us.
And I am fed up on relying on other teams to lose, which, to their utmost credit, they're generally not recently. The teams around us look to have the fight and the will for a battle but our bunch of mercenaries are more bothered about the pay-offs they will get at the end of the season. Outsiders say we are underachieving but we most certainly aren't. We fully deserve to be where we are and it will be our fault and ours only if we go down. WE MUST WIN ON SATURDAY.

The very definition of a howler. If only that could have been the winning goal -- imagine their pain. ;D
I was chatting to a Wolves fan the other night and he thought it would be good for them to go down. They could then regroup and come back stronger. I pointed out that he had said exactly the same thing last year. The same thing has also been said to me by a Villa fan. They just don't get it, do they???Such thinking is a dubious way for unwise fans to see their club "punished" for disappointing them. It's self-destructive and it's illogical.
I really hope Wolves -- the most winning club in Midlands football history -- stay up. Indeed, I want to see Albion, Wolves, and Villa all in the Premier, with Albion of course well on top.
Since you are counting total wins in all divisions for this claim, wouldn't it be better if they went down to Division One so they can collect even more wins?True enough. "Winning" isn't the word. "Successful" is more accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_football_clubs_in_England_by_major_honours_won

Then you're talking about Villa, not Wolves.Haha, of course. I meant Wolves, but I forgot about Vile, who are obviously even higher up the historical table. Need to get the specs adjusted.
I hope they go back to the Division 4 glory days, personally.
The Dingles don't seem overly concerned by it.Suspect many on The Mix would be happy with some show of passion and happier still if Ikeme had missed the wall and hit Saunders!! ;D ;D

He's not pregnant is he ??
That would be awkward. But the report is a torn hamstring.Listen closely, and you might hear torn heartstrings as well. :D
Got a Benteke doll handy! ;D ;D
From what I've seen of Sako he's a pretty selfish player who doesn't do much in terms of defensive duties so I've got a feeling this injury could actually help them out as a team.

Massive club with a huge fanbase............ ;D
Best part of that article is this:
Chief executive Jez Moxey has even telephoned some ‘lapsed’ season ticket holders to plead with them to think again.
Lower league attendances have dropped across the board and I suppose with them possibly dropping down to league 1, with their inept board, the fans may be protesting. It does show however they aren't quite as big a fan base as thye believe as clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City and Sheffield United have still kept big attendances.
More lies from the dingles;
'Ikeme punched a tactics board in the dressing room'
What tactics board????? 8)
£345 for what could be League One football? Our support is fantastic. Over 8,000 is brilliant considering the poo we've been subjected to for two years now. But the price is outrageous.
Why is it that when playing at the Molineux nearly every teams fans say play well for the first 20 minutes and the fans will get on the back? Because its true, never seen fans turn on their team like Wolves fans.It was meant to be a five year plan, but we over ran slightly.
Even in the secret footballer book he says it in there. I honestly believe that a little blame has to go on the fans as they turn on their players so easy.
You can say you got 21k on Saturday which I dont think is that impressive but Id rather have 10k fans there doing there best to get behind the team than 20k who at the first chance boo, shout abuse and sing songs taking the p*** out of how rubbish their team is.
You have to realise it has taken us a good 8 years planning and progression to get where we are now. Wolves fans want it tomorrow, not going to happen :P

The loan window closes this week? any rumours of any saviours for this lot
who are these again?
Great to see Wolves lose today at Bolton.Yep, good result, but its only one match. They've got to build on that and try to put together a losing run if they serious about getting relegated.
I still think that they could go down. Still going to be plenty of twists and turns.imo the game this saturday is absolutely massive. lose and they could well be in the bottom 3 with injuries aplenty. might try and get a ticket in the huddersfield end as albion arent playing this sat :P
Hull & Charlton for the Dingles next.. cant see them getting anything....with their last game away to Brighton, who hopefully will need a win to get into the play-offs.
...with their last game away to Brighton, who hopefully will need a win to get into the play-offs.
I guess this will be coming out again soon...

Anyone know what the odds will be like on a 3RD consecutive relegation next year ? :D :D :D
Still difficult to believe the Wolves will go down, but yesterday's loss looks critical. Loose against Hull this week and I think they will then be odds-on for relegation. With so many injured players it is looking touch and go. Even if they do survive, not sure where they go from here. Sack the CEO and owner? Well okay, but if he goes so does any hope of cash. Cannot see anyone joining the line to buy the Wolves.
Whether they stay up or not they have still had a shocking season.
Anybody feeling sorry for this lot :D
They have been talking about this on the Mix, it could not get any funnier! ;D

Talking about the ground i have heard a couple of rumors today that the club might be forced into redeveloping the Steve Bull stand due to subsidence as its slowly sinking, and may lose it's safety certificate as a result. This would also tie into what one of the construction workers from the redevelopment of the north bank told me about a year ago when he said that he was surprised that Steve Bull stand was still standing as it was done on the cheap and also that it will be a nightmare to bring down.
They're on the edge now, how sweet if Robby Koren slams in a 93rd minute winner tonight :P
They really don't like O'Hara do they? I remember when they got him a couple of years ago, you would have thought they had signed Messi on a free from their reaction.I can understand their reaction to him though, he was the worst of McCarthy's errors in my view; spending big fees on mediocre players, only Fletcher came off and was a genuinely great signing.
Bakary Sako being forced back from a ruptured hamstring!!!! for last two games. Not that the Dingles are at all desperate you understand....................... ???
Case of 'job done' from the Hull team.
I was convinced Wolves would fold. Another few minutes and I am sure they would have.
They celebrated like they won the cup as well.
Big club this lot!
I really hope these go down, if I had to choose between these or Villa to go down I would pick these everyday of the week!this a thousand times over. they hate us, i dislike them more than the vile
Clive on WM in tears ;D
Think he's on the edge!
Wolves know they're gone!
Love it! ;D
I actually had more emotion for Charltons last minute goal than ours today.
i bet the jammy dodgers will beat burnley next week and stay up by the skin of their teeth.
Any Players of theirs worth sniffing at if they go down?
They continue to bring it on themselves. The defending for both goals yesterday was poor, systematic of their season if truth be told. Their game against Burnley is going to be must win - especially when you consider that on the final day they head to Brighton who are flying at the moment. In addition to that, teams around them are playing each other - next week, Peterborough face Sheffield Wednesday whereas on the final day Barnsley face Huddersfield. That bottom end of the table is unpredictable because teams continue to pick up results. I reckon Wolves will survive but by the skin of their teeth.
Some numpty has knocked-up a rumour that TATA who own Jaguar Land Rover and TATA Steel are interested in buying them.
Can't see it myself because they have too much money in JLR working to worry about a league 1 outfit.
TATA :D
I wouldn't take any of them, all championship standard.
Sako anybody?

It's not a pitch invasion; they're all just looking for places to urinate.
The biggest mistake was replacing McCarthy with Terry Connor so Ive got no sympathy for them,
Complete load of amateurs.
Can't disagree with that at all, just offering a different perspective. Lets face it, we could well have another big decision to make in the near future - rule number 1, never be complacent - there are very few (if any) more Roy Hodgsons out there!!
err!!!! Steve Clarke isnt doing to bad at Albion is he ?
Somebody pinch me, not a single suicide bombing and yet I find myself in paradise (but in walsall so no 100 virgins)
Think it has started to be a bit less funny now it looks like reality. We have been there not so long ago. Terrible leadership, under performing team and no real sense of when it would stop. Hard when you are shelling out for your season ticket not sure if you are going to see anything worth watching. Players vastly overpaid and no hope of anyone being daft enough to take them off your hands. Feel sorry for the genuine Wolves fans but definitely not the muppets kicking the stewards who deserve a life ban.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/28/e5erehe3.jpg)
This is just brilliant!
They never change, kicking them stewards from behind does not suprise me, lowest of the low they are. One of the best Saturdays for a long time!
The only scenario to stay up is:cheerio then wolves! tbf if this was albion i'd be on the verge of tears, 2 successive relegations along with dozens of results going against them of late, horrible state to be in, thank god we are where we areand the one that really cooks their goose:
- Dingles win away to Brighton
- Barnsley lose away to Huddersfield
- Posh lose away to Crystal Palace
- Dingles must gain at least five goal differential against Posh
If any of these don't happen, it's League One.

No excuses,it isn't just a minority of their fans,the majority of them are nobs and the people in the higher reaches of the club are no better imo,making us sit where we can't defend ourselves.You sir are a man after my own heart, I fully agree with every word you posted here. They are s**t in every sense of the word
Wolves are the only club whose fans target ordinary family groups of oppositition support,shoppers,fathers with young children and little old ladies on coaches are all fair game.
Never see any of them turn up in West Brom high street do you?
The whole club from top to bottom is classless.They even had the old idiot Jack racing onto the pitch and screeching into the microphone.
Best team talk we ever got. :D
Good riddance to them.
saw this on Facebook! made me chuckle :D
Police have said that any of the 300 Wolves fans identified on the pitch yesterday will be banned for 5 years. 4,700 have pleaded guilty.
Does anyone else think they haven't hit bottom yet?
I still expect them to fall further.
Well how many of that current squad will be here next season, not many although you can also look at it and think would many clubs be after them. They will be the club that everyone will really want to beat next season.
glad they are where they are but not getting carried away just yet.
a 3-0 loss for Posh and a 2-0 win for the dogheads would see them safe.
Apparently Colonel Saunders has made his first signing for next season from China, name of Lee Gwon. ;D
On a serious, well almost note, just read a few pages of the Mix, they just don't get it do they, they blame everyone else, the M and M's, the team, past managers, but they fail to realise they themselves are a huge part of their own downfall with their arrogant attitude and demanding changes without any real plan.
Barnsley would also need to lose By a couple of goals for Wolves to stay up.
Barnsley are two goals worse off then wolves so if barnsley lost and wolves won they would go above them.Do you really think the dingles will beat Brighton?
Do you really think the dingles will beat Brighton?
A Brighton with nothing to play for and with one eye on the playoffs. Pulling out of challenges or picking a weakened team and resting their star players.I was having a great weekend thinking that the scum are down but now you are putting doubts in my head. Now I am thinking of when we did the great escape no one thought we would do it, cheers lads now I have the Monday morning blues. :'( :'( :'(
Barnsley play Huddersfield who still need a point to stay up and Peterborough play Palace who need to win to guarantee a playoff place.
They still have a chance, its slim granted, but its not impossible.

In my time in the states I've found that sporting rivalries are nowhere near as intense as ours. Ours are definitely more hate-filled (i.e. fun). I think it would be difficult for an American to understand just how intense they are without living in the area and actually experiencing it. I mean, most of their sporting rivalries involve teams hundreds of miles apart. Whereas we live/work/go to school with huge fans of our rivals. Being schooled in Cannock was a nightmare at times because it was all Dingles, and a lot of them I would describe as scum.
Nick, I absolutely guarantee you that there are Sooner fans who hate OSU just as much, who grew up with the same experiences.
I've seen plenty of OSU stickers in the back windscreens of cars on the OU campus. If there was a WBA sticker in a parked car in Wolverhampton, I doubt the window would last more than a few minutes!

Seriously wondering why you are on this site to be honest...Umm, OK. I'll stop posting here -- no problem. Adios.
I live in Dingleland & I do worry about my Baggies car freshener being on display at times ;D
I want Brighton to absolutely stuff them on Saturday. Doubt they will bother bringing out a season review DVD this summer.
really want the dingles to win on saturday with the performance of their lives someting like 2-5 and go down by 1 goal .
When they drop there will have to be a fire sale , i know many on here have already stated that they dont want any of them but seriously some of thos players could be good additions to our squad and playing for that lot maybe we wouldnt be able to play properly ??
Any way does anyone think that at the start of the season morgan heard Moxey talking about relegation and said it was a chance to "rebuild" and he thought he ment 3 bed semis
yow gorra laff aye ya?
I have just heard on WM Steve Froggot say Gus Poyet is desperate to send the Wolves down.Can someone explane to me what the Wolves have done to upset Gus Poyet :DDoes anyone need a reason to hate the wolves ???? Can't think of any reasons to like em
Your not serious about that surely Zippy?....................................... :oVery serious, Doyle off the bench, sakho in a run and smash em up first half type, and they will all be avaliable very cheap
Very serious, Doyle off the bench, sakho in a run and smash em up first half type, and they will all be avaliable very cheap
Take Hennesey for a mill?
I hand on heart, would take Carl Henry. Smashing player that has composure on the ball and can play a pass.
One point in general is that sometimes players look better when surrounded by a higher standard of player.
For example i use Matt Jarvis , never rated him at Wolves and couldn't see the hype but at West Ham he has had a great season..i suppose you could say the say about Gmac coming from a poor Ipswich side too.
What are you implying Dexy?....that if Henry got a transfer to The Dog & Duck he would suddenly look a quality player!..... ;)Couldn't be much worse :D
Couldn't be much worse :Dcouldnt be ANY worse ;D ;D
Im astonished to think that we could even consider any current Wolves player good enough for the Albion! Thumped 1-5, lost to luton town!! in the cup, two successive relegations......what next? Can anyone seriously think there is a player who would crack the Baggies line up??Liverpool just beat Newcastle 6-0 would they take Ben arfa, tiote, debuchey or cabaye?

Matt Doherty could get in this Albion side as he`s looked pretty decent since he got in the side,
if they had a few more youngsters like J.Robinson and Batth then maybe they wouldnt be in this
mess having to rely on dross such as Johnson, S.Ward, and Henry.
Wolves biggest problem are the muppets who run it ie Morgan and Moxey,
they should never have let players like Jarvis, Fletcher, Guedioura, Kightly, and Milijas leave ,
just because the better players want to move on doesnt mean you give in to thier demands.

Should this thread close after tomorrow and start a new one called "Our Division One neighbours" to comment on local lower league football.
Looking forward to the Radio WM phone in bloodbath after the Dingles get hammered today......and yes a 10 pt deduction for crowd trouble after would put the icing on the cake.....up the Albion!
They may do, free calls weekends on some pay as you go :D
I wouldnt get to excited cause it will be all Villa if they beat Norwich.
the dingles had their say yesterday evening so they wont have the same
callers on twice.
My dingle mate has gone into hiding......the one across the road though was stood outside his with another old school friend who by perchance happens too be a doghead too...
Baggies top on and cut the front lawn didnt i.......wait for it
Stevie Bull's a tatter
he wears a tatters hat......

I have joined the forum and come in peace. I am a Wolves fan and have enjoyed many rivalries with Baggies fans over the years. Having felt sick as a parrot this weekend with our demise to league one I wanted to ask our fiercest rivals a serious question. How could you have got it so right and we got it so wrong? What would you do differently? I want to play the baggies again ( and the league cup or FA cup is the only way that's happening for a while. I know I will get some stick but I wanted to ask the question. I know you have been up and down but never capitulated like we did this year. You can tell me to shove it if you like, but I reckon that if you really want to know the truth you ask your biggest rivals so please. What do we need to do to get back to the standard you are playing at?

which clubs would come in for O Hara and for Johnson? I cant see any really to have to be paying wages for those two in League one wont be good for Wolves as they are probably on a hell of a lot at the minute.
20k plus a week and have been a great disappointment. O Hara was good while on loan but has been pants since. ROJO has pretty much the worst positional sense of a defender I have seen for a long while and we paid 7m for that! I would take Olson over him any day. Please take the pee- I have followed wolves for 40 years so I have been through this before but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen again. Then we got Saunders! Liking the spell check option!
Simple. get some people in to the club who know something about football and can pick a player. Morgan Moxey and any of the past four managers couldnt pick their noses.
Its all well and good Wolves fans saying 'get rid' of ceratin players but the likes of O'Hara has 3 years left of a 35k a week contract. No club of sound mind would sign him based on his performances or his injury record especially on those wages.
Johnson too is said to be on around the same. He's just suffered 3 relegations on the trot and is obviously a disruptive influence in the dressing room.
Getting rid of these players is going to be difficult. They are the cancer that is eating away at the club.
I hope they stay. ;D
MM was a good manager and got the best out of average players in my opinion. Your 5-1 did for him like a kipper. There was no way back after that. I agree the choices since then have been either panicked or poor . Solbakken was the most outside the box but Luton in the cup did his legs. Reckon we need a huge clear out and it may be several years until we are in the same league.
Best thing for Wolves would be to get rid of the bigger names and start again. Out of all the teams in the football league you have been one of the biggest surprises this season.
Some of the players that Mick brought in were good, Kightly, Keogh, Hennesey, Ebanks Blake all players that were at smaller clubs and did a good job when Mick was in charge.
Some of the players that Mick brought in were good, Kightly, Keogh, Hennesey, Ebanks Blake all players that were at smaller clubs and did a good job when Mick was in charge.

In the Championship they did well, wasn't talking so much about when they payed in the Premiership.

Im struggling with that notion since they were PL players 12 months ago and have just been relegated!!
We only have 2 small problems at the club. We cant score and cant defend!! After all you did sell us Steve Bull!!! Have ya got another in the wings we can poach?

This was on the Molineux Mix website - regards to trouble with Roger Johnson on Saturday. The way they treat their players no wonder they are down.. If baggies fans did this to our players i would be gutted (odemwingie issue a seperate matter)
What happened is this:
Johnson & O'Hara took a boatload of abuse from the away fans all through the second half. O'Hara reacted to a chant of "40 grand? You're having a laugh" by sarcastically clapping the fans and proceeding to get booed every time he touched the ball. At the final whistle he scarpered to the dressing room sharpish.
Johnson on the other hand, joined the rest of the players in coming to the away fans to applaud the support. Some players were throwing their shirts into the crowd, Johnson was looking to do the same but nobody wanted it. He saw some young lad trying to get his attention and pointed to him to ask if he wanted it. The young lad promptly gave him a two-fingered salute. Johnson shrugged his shoulders and turned away. He did turn back to give one final clap to the rest of the away fans before trudging away.
In my opinion, doing what Johnson did took a lot of character because he, justifiably or not, has been a major target of the fans abuse for much of his time here and he could have disappeared straight down the tunnel but chose to come and thank the fans.
O'Hara on the other hand...
We were heading for a mess as well when we sold Bully. Think Chris Wood (or Simon Cox), would have done the job for the Wolves. I still don't understand how they went down with the squad they have got. Clearing out could be difficult and costly. No one in their right mind will take O'Hara on 40k a week.
In all fairness to o'hara if id had been attacked by some scumbags with my new born baby in my hands after the 5-1 i wouldnt give a sh#t either.
The blokes a good player the 1-1 draw were he scored down our place ,he was head and shoulders above anybody on the pitch
Needs a move!
'Fraid you already missed that boat, mucka; his name was Chris Wood, and he'd almost certainly have kept you up. (Let's face it, his goals gave Millwall enough wins before January to stagger to safety, and despite leaving them four months ago, he still finished the season as their top scorer). We'd never have let him cross the divide, mind; made that mistake with Bully, and we're not saft enough to do it again! :P
What Wolves need now and in seasons to come if you hope to get back to the PL and make a real go of it:
1) A hierarchy with a decisive leader who takes ultimate responsibility for all failures, and below him, employees with clearly-defined roles within the club who can meet pre-determined targets. No one sticking their oar into someone else's job, no one overruling anyone else or trying to shift blame, and all to be held individually accountable if they're not pulling their weight.
2) The key part of the above set-up: a Director of Football who knows the game inside out, has a good proactive relationship with the scouting system and the academy, and whose reports and recommendations are treated like the word of God by both manager and chairman alike. Though Wolves do have a DoF at the moment, I strongly suspect that he's little more than an "ideas man", there to give suggestions that can be vetoed at will by Morgan, Moxey or Saunders.
3) A set of players who give a damn about the club. Anyone not committed to the cause needs to be on their bike before a ball is kicked next season, and if Saunders isn't up to the job of moulding a team with spirit then he should make way for someone who is.
4) The club and the fans need to build a few bridges for the benefit of everyone at Molineux. It's vital for Morgan & Moxey (if they're still holding the reins in August) to keep the lines of communication open with supporters groups and be seen to take fans' opinions on board, and conversely, for fans to understand that if a difficult decision is being made for the good of the club, they shouldn't try and make the chairman cave in to popular opinion (i.e. "we don't want Steve Bruce as our manager"). With the disastrous mistakes that have been made behind the scenes in the last fifteen months it will take a very long time for any level of mutual trust to grow again between the club and fanbase, but if M&M are seen to make a few good decisions over the summer it'll be a start.
Best of luck with it; things can change very quickly in football, and the next Black Country derby may not be so far away as you'd think.
It's just been a mess for them. I expect them to bounce straight back because along with Sheffield United they're a lot bigger than a lot of their League One counterparts, but make no mistake about it they are where they are on merit, they been awful this season and 23rd isn't harsh on them in any way shape or form.
Disappointed to see him sacked as I thought he would have been the man to continue charade and keep them stuck in league one. He was absolutely clueless with some of his drastic team selections but even worse than that was the idiotic comments to the press where he would quite frankly tell a complete load of lies. He has proved to be another diastrous appointment and I can only hope Morgan follows the trend he is creating with regards to managerial appointments.
Cheers Deano' ;D
Thing is who would actually want the job?
4 managers in just over 12 months, Moxey and Morgan as your employers, a squad that you have to get rid of that very few clubs will want, and 6000 retards abusing you every week.
I am not surprised by the Saunders sacking, i thought it was a risky appointment at the time but at least it was somebody different from the usual names who got linked so thought he deserved a chance.I think your on the money, not only a good fit for them but of course, daddy could help with the odd loanee?
This is a good job for somebody, its a bit like whoever took over from McLeish at Villa, because there was so much hatred for him whoever came in next was going to be treated well by the fans, i think same applies with Wolves, there is so much hatred for the board and players that next season the new crop will be backed by the fans.
Wolves are a big club, in theory they cant get any worse (although league 2 may come calling!) somebody could be there Gary Megson, the bloke who stopped the rot, got the next chapter of the clubs history going. If i was them i would look at Darren Ferguson, he is an ex Wolf, he has got out League One before on a couple of occasions, his teams are good to watch and with a bit of extra money he could do well.
Just goes to show how right we have got our decisions the last few years and what happens when you panic!

Some of the blokes at work want Martin O Neil.As if someone with his credentials will want to pick a team to face the likes of Stevenage and Crawley Town.
The penny still hasn't dropped with some of them.
They've sacked more managers than Blackburn haven't they :o
Just found this from Morgan from January 2012.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16528905 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16528905)
I particularly like the bit
"You don't get stability by chopping and changing your manager all the time," said Morgan.
"I like to think football thinks Wolves do things our way - and our way is about long-term growth and stability."
I bet everyone in football is thinking that right now :D
"Add to this the infamous quote "We won't be doing an Albion". Mind you he was right there.....
"
I missed that one...when did he say that? Was he talking about our yo-yo days?
It was something Moxey said when Wolves won the Champ in 2009 at the same time we finished bottom of the Prem under Mowbray. I think his actual words were a bit more subtle - something like "we won't do what some clubs do, go up and then come straight back down" - but it was an obvious dig at us, and has been quite rightly thrown back at him many times since as "we won't do an Albion".
Keith Downing for the Wolves anybody?

It seems the Dingles are getting a little angry and have targeted the Wigan chairman and Adrian Chiles for their 'lies' on ITV over the weekend.
Aparently the tackle that caused Whelan to break his leg when he played in the cup final was commited by Norman Deeley (ex Wolves).
They have taken it upon themselves to 'complain' to ITV regarding the 'lies' that both Whelan and Chiles have said. ;D

they can't be right for a third time can they?? ;D
Just a thought:I have adopted the green and white barmy army as my second club- actually saw them beat Brentford at Wembley, can't believe they are playing in The Championship. The atmosphere around here is fantastic, as little Yeovil is the highest rated club in the west, above Swindon, Plymouth Argyle and Bristol City! I thought the same, Yeovil's chance to play Wolves will be in the FACup- they did beat Wolves 2-1 at Huish Park in a friendly just when Wolves were promoted in 2003.
If Wolves meet Yeovil in the cup next season, & win...............Is it a giant killing?!? :P
Wolves ?@OfficialWolves 1m
Wolves are delighted to confirm the arrival of Kenny Jackett as Head Coach.
He is going to need his metal Jacket with that lot
Can someone relegate them on the other teams message board thread to league 1 :D
He is going to need his metal Jacket with that lot
It'll be done shortly, it will be a pleasure to do it :D
Answer me this....
Why have they paid compensation to Milwall when he resigned ?
:o
I actually think this is a better appointment than Coyle.Yes , and you think think Lamberk has been way more successful than Mcleish , so your views on managers don't carry much sway do they Mr Houlier :D
Given the players at his disposal, he could do well. I would still like to see the Dogheads suffer down there, especially as they will have third division derby with Small Heath the season after.
Nice to see they have finally been relegated on the other teams message board thread :D
Good, I had £50 on him at 4/1!!! :DChing Ching, thank you Wolves, good appointment....for my wallet anyway! ;D
Anyone see Jez Moxey at the press conference introducing Kenny Jackett?Yes Moxey had to have his bit of limelight with a misguided attempt at a joke - can't imagine Dan Ashworth or hopefully Garlick making a similar stupid comment.
"I'd just like to apologise to Chelsea football club for usurping their announcement on the re-arrival of the special one in favour of Wolverhampton Wanderers special one, Kenny Jackett"

Man Utd are gutted they never had chance to win the Sherpa Van Trophy :o
First ever league goal was actually an own goal by a villa player and dingles still failed to win the game, it ended 1-1
Molineux was the first ground to stage a properly floodlit match when Wolves took on South Africa in an exhibition game back in 1953.
Billy Wright was the first player in the world to earn 100 caps for his country.
We hold Man Utd's record attendance 76,692 and they weren't even playing.Versus Grimsby in 1939.:D ;D
Beat Cardiff away 9-1 1955-56 equalling record away win for the first division.
In the all-time table since the league's inception in 1888, Wolves sit in the all-time top four, behind only Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in terms of league position.
Wolves were the first club to score to 7000 League goals - Wolves achieved this when Seol Ki-Hyeon scored in the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on 10 December, 2006.
Wolves remain the only club to have won all top national cups - the FA CUP (1893, 1908, 1949, 1960), the Football League Club (1974 and 1980), and Football League Trophy in 1988.
That is true. However:
:D ;D
And one from me: We were the first and so far ONLY team to score 100 goals or more in FOUR successive seasons: 103 in 57/58; 110 in 58/59; 106 in 59/60 and 103 in 60/61.
Sorry to boast :D Can't wait until both us and you lot are challenging at the top :) The day will come, my friends.

the club somehow managed to sink to lower levels than other clubs of a similar size or bigger.
They were the pioneers of hoof ball in the 50s. Very controversial by all accounts.
Heres another interesting stat. ;D
We have finished ahead of them in league positions more often than they have us in league history. Its close but we are 3 or 4 ahead.
Head to head in league and cups in favour of Albion as well. ;D
They were the pioneers of hoof ball in the 50s. Very controversial by all accounts.
It wasn't hoof ball. The philosophy was to get it from defence to attack as quickly as possible. We did this by getting the ball to the wings immediately after winning the ball - we got it wide by precise overhead passes, NOT hoof. The wingers then terrified the life out of the defence - ;) - and crossed it into the box where we would invariably score.

eBay demands roughly 10% of fees from any sale meaning the user will get billed for at least £15k even if/when the 'buyer' doesn't pay. I think the likelihood of this happening is fairly slim (maybe eBay will see it's a joke).

If there is really a god these tosssers will go through the trap door again this season
wolves fans never cease to amaze you!! so they can get couple more thousand than us...wow!!
See they managed to flog Henry to QPR....unbelievable, Karl Henry bought by a man, who this time last year was the press's darling and theyre favourite to become the new England manager. Lord help us.
See they managed to flog Henry to QPR....For £1 million!! Even JP would struggle to get that for him!!! :o
Credit to Wolves, they have got a good deal out of that, despite that QPR have quite a lot of million to spend that for me is wasted money they have Shaun Derry in that side who plays a similar role to Karl Henry.
What became of the ginger monkey that used to post on here,did he get banned?
Ginger chimp was okay, I quite liked him, he was a realist.
Dingles lost again, the locals are revolting.Just not quite as good a team the first time they did that !! ;D
Mind you, at least they played against European opposition and they have floodlights! ;)
I see on Twitter they are all delighting in the fact they're taking 5000 to Preston, for some reason comparing it to the number of fans we took to Liverpool last season.Thats quite impressive, thats nearly twice as many as they were getting at home the last time they dropped into the third division.
Seems their interest in actual football, ie what happens on the pitch, hasn't returned yet.

Wolves would not have taken many more to Liverpool than what we did, Sky would have put a lot of people of from going, and also we weren't on that good of a run at the time. Away followings is all they can go on about to us now as far as results go they dont have a leg to stand on.And they wouldn't have beat them, and they are in the wrong league :D

Didn't we take 5k to Wigan and 5.5k to Bolton last time we were up that way ? :o
Already 2 point behind Walsall ;D ;D
Does anyone think this thread should be locked now?Well said mate
A third division outfit with delusions of grandeur are not relevant to us.
Let them fester in their hatred for us and simply ignore them,i'm not really bothered about how they do against the likes of Stevenage,Crawley and Walsall,i am an Albion fan.
Wolves were always bigger rivals to me than Villa were,but not anymore.Wolves are no longer rivals,they aren't good enough to be.
Ladies and Gentlemen,let us forget about the Dingbats and unite against the only rival we have left.
Aston Villa.
I guarantee you if we drew Wolves in the cup the atmosphere would be much better than the league game against Villa!Villa weren't bothered about the league though, they had guaranteed wembley tickets to think about :D
I love how the 6 fingered ones keep bringing up that Liverpool match when it was on a Monday night, live on sky and nearly £50 for a ticket - they would have taken thousands of course. They don't mention games like Southampton, Wigan, Bolton, Stoke etc where we've taken decent followings.
Free travel, free travel, last game of the season, couldn't sell 2900 tickets for a Saturday 3 o'clock game, for a game less than an hour away, against a team you don't like, and with reasonable ticket prices....
Which are those decent followings again...?
Isn't 45ma the Villa fan?

It's all part of his clever plan to reach League Two someday.
You don't realise how close to the truth that is at the moment! ;D
Maybe Jackett figured it out. They just loaned him (Doumbia) to Valenciennes for the season.
Some Sky Sports numpty first tweeted that he was going to Valencia, not Valenciennes, which caused eight pages of hand-wringing on Mol Mix. ;D
66-1 to get relegated from League 1. Lump on. ;)they wont go down because they lost at Morecambe .
'It happened before and its happnin' again' ;D
I know we laugh and joke but can anyone realistically see Wolves playing in League 2 next season?
I can't see it myself however I did say a similar thing last season about league 1 and here they are!
I was reading the other day that the FFP rules at that level don't apply to Wolves this season?Its true , the other teams are trying :D
Can someone clarify that.
Im not sure if this is true or not but I had heard that wolves had removed the company (and all employees) that do the cattering for corporates etc , they were replaced with a company that a certain Mrs Moxey is the boss of, anyone know ?
That was done last year or the year before I believe.Further back than that mate 5to 10 years ago, they were almost at the top of the championship trying to get in the prem. They are back where they were, almost, just before we gave them Bull. This time around I wouldn't give them the drippings off my nose, much less a player to single-handedly resurrect them.
It's funny because from top to bottom they are a mess. They have gone back now probably 5-10 years and it's going to take a long time to get back to the PL level if at all.
It shows how well we done to bounce straight back up all those times really.
Bcd derby next season anybody?

Good question, not entirely sure of the answer. Kevin Doyle at his best (first 18 months at wolves) would be my first pick. But despite his good start to this season, we haven't seen that Kevin Doyle for a long time. Perhaps I'm wearing gold tinted specs but I'd probably go for sako as he has more end product than either of the Albion pair, although to be fair, he has yet to prove himself in the top flight of English football. Think sess will be a good signing for them.
Wolves big deadline day transfer, a 17 year old from Wrexham. :D Even funnier, they still have Doyle, O'hara, Johnson et al on the books collecting wages for training with the kids ;D

Very true, and I really, really don't get this one. They go straight for what they think is their trump card: slating us for any attendance figure, home or away.
Wouldn't that make Manchester United the coolest, best club ever and most worthy of support? Do we concede superiority to Hertha BSC or 1. FC Köln for averaging over 40,000 in the German second division? Or Seattle Sounders, in MLS (shock horror!), for averaging 43,000?
I guess if you don't trust the people that run your club, don't like the majority of your team (RJ, O'Hara etc) and think you should be at least one league higher than you are then your natural fall back position is the only thing you still have any pride in. In this case it is attendances.
When I read comments and comparisons like those about attendance I genuinely feel thankful that my view of the club I support is a lot more positive for a number of different reasons - on field quality, off field quality, faith in the staff at the club (at all levels from the support staff to the owner) and (for the large part) the balanced views of the majority of our fan base.
When you take all of that into account I find it hard to get wound up about the gates that they get and the gates that we do. In fact, I think the attendances at both clubs is admirable considering the financial hardships that a lot of our supporters are going through on both sides. I think it's testament to how deep routed in our make up attending games and following a football team is in this country. Considering the time and cost involved it's actually amazing that it isn't one of the first things be sacrificed when times are hard. Especially, if you have a family to support. When you think about it there must be a lot of very understanding and forgiving wives out there!
For what it's worth I think it's hard to compare the attendances of the two clubs - even when they are so comparable in a number of other ways (location, social demographic of the fan base, on field history, off field ups and downs to name but a few). Sure, you can bring up specific games as examples to compare as they often do but if you look at the last 20 years or so there are so many variables to consider such as different on field and off field expectations of the supporters, the means available to the club at the time and the general economic climate in this country that I think it is a little simplistic to say that both clubs were in a totally similar situation at any one time during that period.
IMO, if you main point is proclaiming that your club is "bigger" than another based on attendances alone then you haven't really got a leg to stand on. In fact, it just makes you look desperate - especially after your team has just been beaten by your "smaller" local rivals - in this case Walsall.
Surely, you would expect that would be the undeniable truth that made you realise that the size of your gate isn't the most important thing about a football club being considered successful?
For the record, as much as I am enjoying the state that they are in at the moment, it wouldn't bother me one bit if they were selling out 30k seats every game - fair play to them if they did!
We are Albion and we do it our way and they will always be wo1ve5.
The way they go on you'd think they get 40,000 and we get 10,000 every week, the truth is we're very similar sized clubs in terms of attendance.
I remember seeing this on a qpr forum, not sure if it's accurate or not http://www.wearetherangersboys.com/forum/showthread.php?60011-Average-Attendances-Over-Each-Club-s-History (http://www.wearetherangersboys.com/forum/showthread.php?60011-Average-Attendances-Over-Each-Club-s-History)
Only real surprise for me was Middlesborough.
The Blackburn figure seems low, considering they've had 72 seasons in the top division and three league titles.
i love how they also feel they are nailed on for automatic promotion. Goarrn p'borough and orient.
They have had their two "big derbies" now and won none.And both of them at home to boot !!!
Oh dear :D
awful night in league one, p'boro and orient both dropping silly points and wolves winning.But both cov and walsall continued their pursuit.
But both cov and walsall continued their pursuit.We can dream :) Can't see it though, think the dingles will go straight back up.
Imagine a world where the team famous for a market and the team that started-10 points both finish above the dingles :D
What a pair of morons.
In a past life I'd have thought this was hilarious, but now I find it pathetic.
And they are out the fa cup before we even enter it
The best fans in the world FC have a massive 4226 in attendance for tonight, still double what they used to get in the 80's.Pathetic really given they've just gone top of the league and on their best form in years (results wise) , but gather the performances haven't been great. Smalsall got more the night before.
"wim a big club"
Isn't Stefan the bell who runs that pathetic "banter" page on facebook?
If i were him, i'd just give the internet a miss for a while and read a book or two! :D :D
Full house yesterday.Big club ay they
28,500 not a sell out. 4,000 odd empty seats. Still a great gate in league 1.
But if I'm honest I think a lot of clubs would get a big gate if it was first v second over the Xmas period not matter what league the club is in. If your doing well people will come!
We can only dream of 28000
We can only dream of 28000
If we did an offer of 2 adults and 2 kids for £35 i'm sure we could manage 28000 easily.
I think I will take being a successful football team for now over having a couple more thousand in the ground. If only they carefully invested in their team instead of their stadium ;DThey did, Johnson , Ohara etc etc :D
Have you guys seen the mix lately?
'Need a central midfielder, different type of forward and a different manager.'
'I wouldn't write Corberan off quite yet but he's certainly failing to impress with his arrogance and inflexibility.'
'I had high hopes for Jackett but if he resigned tomorrow he wouldn't be missed.'
KJ needs to pull his finger out of his $$$$ and sort it.'
Beggars belief ???
Although saying that, these are fans who they think they should be in the Premier League because they have 'awesome attendances' >:(
3k regular when they were in the old 4th division
It about time we had an ex Wolves employee do the business for us as KD has recently, as over the years one way or another we've contrived to directly or indirectly bail out the intellectually challenged ones.
For example.
Allowing the bone heads the use of ground for a game or two when theirs was closed by the FA for crowd trouble in the early 1900s.
One of our greatest sons Ronnie Allen guided the p*ss chuckers out off the 2nd division in 1967.
Ally Robertson captained the numbskulls to back to back promotions and the Micky mouse cup in the 80s.
Andy Thompson scored 40 plus goals playing full back for the unwashed ones in well over 300 appearances.
The untold misery we inadvertently inflicted on ourselves when we practically gave the knuckle draggers that bloke from Tipton.
It worries me that when Jenny Kacket gets his car trashed on the car park and has to leave by air ambulance when Walsall knock the window lickers out off the play offs, they might come calling for Downing. He probably ain't going to be our boss but I wouldn't like to see him be theirs.
Great remark from the commentator "the mighty wolves beaten by Gillingham" ??? oh dear!
Lets just hope SkP dosent sign for them
Rumour is he's snubbed them for Leciester, we shall see.You can´t beat a good wet dream. I´d certainly urine myself if it happened. :P
I had this dream the other night that they lose in the play off final to Walsall.
:D
They lost in injury time last night at Gillingham, I watched the game and Wolves were very poor the Gills deserved the three points.. They have been on a very poor run of late, only one win in the last five.
It's better than that, 1 win in 7!
Wayne Hennesey refused to play last night by all accounts, apparently pushing out for a move to Palace!
Don't know if to laugh or feel sorry for them. ;D

I think what Hennessey did was disgusting in fairness.Rot, and get a higher wage packet, that'll be the only motive i bet(aside from leaving the dump)!
Agree with Phil on this. He should be fined two weeks wages and then be allowed to leave to rot on somebody's bench.
To me jackett seems a bit like lambert?
Wants his team, his players and his way, so the senior players with quality , that may stand up to him and speak out, all get marginalised .
You would think that griffiths (with his strike rate) would be a starter every match, you may also think that Ohara would add some know how (if not pace) to their midfield.
Anyway I think it's great that lamberk and jackett will stick to their principles and ruin those two "huge" clubs
Villa to drop, wolves to lose in the play off final.
Sounds like di Canio, yet the 2 you mentioned aren't vilified like the enigmatic Italian.They've started to on WM :D

I read them say we are a Solbaken case :)
Wolves are in League 1. Two divisions lower than us. They were in the Prem 2 seasons ago. They have the parachute funds that are worth twice more television money than every other club gets combined per season. They SHOULD be storming the league.
Let them enjoy their time in League 1 winning games. The real test will be them getting out of the Championship.
To be fair, they are having a cracking time following their team this season - new grounds, cheaper ticket prices and they smashing teams on the pitch.
Couple of Dingles I know are happy where they are and dread the thought of a Premier League return. Maybe they are just saying that? ::)
It's funny you say that. I was going to add a little bit more about my best mate (who is a dingle). He has said very similar to what you have alluded to in your post. I dunno, maybe he is posturing because of their current position, but I think there is something in it. The Premiership isn't all it's cut out to be.

This is why I'm secretly looking forward to the Championship if we go down.That is true, although I have my final year at Uni to contend with, which means putting a lot of games on the back burner :( I'll still try to make a few aways at least though.
This is why I'm secretly looking forward to the Championship if we go down.
The only thing I would miss about the Premier League is the crowd sizes. If we dropped to League one we would get circa 15k. I suppose they would be a hardcore 15k though and wouldn't be there to boo or see be there on a tourist trip to see Rooney, Torres, Van Persie and co.
I see a Wolves fan has had a baggies tattoo for charityI'll bet it was spelt incorrectly !! :P
and double their home gate when they played Oldham in the Cup this season. Woodwork's breathing easier this week
3 wheels on my wagon , but I'm still rolling along . That's our first song if they lose tonight . Or here's another one HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN.Would love it if orient and brentford peg them back to the play offs, and they lose their composure ;D

think wolves have done well this season considering how bad they were, and fair play to them, but come on, if they had won the premier league the E&S couldnt have been any more sychophantic. Mondays paper, front and back page headlines, various other stories throughout the paper and what seemed like a 16 page souvenir pullout in the middle. Tonight weve got another 8 page souvenir special, dont miss it, why not, therell be another one on Tuesday.
Ok so theyre going to win the 3rd division but, get over it. Id love to cancel this rag but the wife likes it,I just pay for it. ps in tonights edition, online poll, should kenny jackett be knighted.
I just bet they'll put a promotion push on the cards next season :(
They will need massive reinforcements to get top half next season.I think they could make the play-offs, they should have never gone down, but they did...and that was due to a poisonous core off lazy footballers, who have now all been replaced.

In short, this new bunch are young, hungry footballers - and you can bet they will strengthen in the summer too. I don't think they will go up straight away but you'd almost expect it within 3-5 seasons or before possibly. Simply put, compared to the other teams of that league they have a strong structure and good finances, I think top half next season would be fairly easy for them.
and I think you're pi$$ed !!!Why shouldn't they? Norwich/Saints? That is all you need to know really. They have just as good a chance as any other, and they'll give it a good go next season sadly.
Got to admit though over 30,000 for a 3rd tier match is impressive, especially considering there are some club in the Premier League who struggle to get 25,000 even when up near the top 6. It would be pretty embarrassing to support one of those tinpot clubs.
They've won in a very tough division this year and the abnormally high points near the top show that. It's a very strong young team they have and a top half Championship finish is pretty much guaranteed. Wouldn't be surprised if they go higher.

Why shouldn't they? Norwich/Saints? That is all you need to know really. They have just as good a chance as any other, and they'll give it a good go next season sadly.Because there will be 3 teams in the chumps league who have come down from the prem and another 6 or 7 teams in that league who are established chumps league teams.........that's why !
To be fair we had 1 for a league 1 play off win
I suppose their euphoria this season is understanding considering what they have had to put up with and 9/10 living in our shadows
They still planning that 'sandwell town is going down' banner ;Dprobably..... They won't get the news that we beat West Ham until Thursday when the Oss 'n' cart with this weeks postbag turns up.
Pity you struggled to sell out your allocation for a local derby at villa last time you were in the Prem before your double drop, maybe you can try again to fill it if you make it back up one day.Would love it if Wolves got the opportunity to sell out a local League derby with Villa next season :P

It was their U21s + trialists, to be fair.
Is that right, can't seem to find any mention of it whatsoever in E&S.
It was their U21s + trialists, to be fair.To be fair, it was only Margate. ;D
Got to feel some sympathy for them as fans though with the likes of O'Hara, although why he was offered such an extension is just weird - because at the time he had a history of injuries...
Not a jot of sympathy, I'd love them to go the way of a Portsmouth.Where's the "LIKE" button ??
Chris Wood may be signing for them!
I said yesterday would they beat us.If we played them tomorrow then possibly so.They looked a well organised unit yesterday
the new dutch signing of theirs looks usefulFrom what I saw, he is what we are looking for, fast, tricky and creative.
Not a chance. We are absolutely miles ahead of them.
Such comments can bite one on the backside very quickly.
Not a chance. We are absolutely miles ahead of them.
I'm glad you're so confident.
A club with upward momentum or a club with apathy which could potentially turn posionous.
Ah. Right.
Can't believe some of you are even countenancing this. The Dingles had a decent 1-0 win against 10-men at home. They are newly promoted so are still riding the euphoria of winning the league last season, when you get round to November, fixtures piling up and they're struggling lower mid-table at best we'll see how "good" they are.
Very true, it's a long old season. If I remember correctly, they started fairly well the season they got relegated from the Champ, albeit with a more experienced squad. There's a long long way to go - the cream always rises to the top......if the Dingles are there at the end of the season then fair play.
They're looking at getting Chris Wood from Leicester.
Looks like that's dead in the water according to CL.
My mate reckons he's on a massive wedge at Leicester, and Wolves simply can't pay that with O'Hara, Johnson, et al still on the books.
The away end looked about 1/3 empty from the highlights on the football league show. Big club aye they!
It is a long season, injuries or the loss of key players will catch them up. Three matches is too early to judge ;D
They've played 5 :PI know ;)

I'm very surprised he's ended up back up keeper in the championship in what should be his prime years. He looked like he had the potential to be superb for us, hence United signing him. Even if he didn't prove good enough for them i'd have thought he'd end up being at the very least a good premier league first choice keeper like Foster or Howard have after struggling at Man U.difference is United "broke" him. He's said himself that he was trapped as a prisoner at united, personally i think he's just happy to play (or at least have the realistic chance to)

I was at their game on Tuesday (in the Sheffield Wednesday end may I add) and thought Wolves were very impressive.
They have some good footballers, solid defenders, a competent keeper, two pacy, stocky wide men and two strikers who are capable of scoring goals. Really impressed by Sako, McDonald and Afobe in particular. All three were a constant menace to an Owls side that are superb at defending.
I'd make these my outside bet to win the play-offs.
As competent as they are at that level they would get murdered in the PL.
Got to give it too them they are on a right roll right now, there not out of the title race the way they are going
personally I hope they get promoted so that we can inflict more grief on them.
Really?? The grief for them is not even being in the same league as us. That is worth alot more then a couple of wins (if we were to win) in a season.
If it was a true example of what the Championship has to offer you can understand why the teams that come up struggle in the Premier League.And what would a neutral say about the prem, if he watched one of our games ??

If dingle slapping is your spectator sport of choice, head to Dinglehampton on Sunday because it's going to be eventful.
I think the last games are all on Saturday mate.
With Millwall already down I don't see it kicking off as much. West Midlands Police will be breathing a collective sigh of relief.
Its more to do with what wolves did at there place, Millwall always travel to midlands as my quiet local town is usually there stop off.
Where would that be then?
Bet WMP are bracing themselves. That said Millwall smashing up the town centre will only improve the place.
After their performances at Villa Park, I bet they can't wait to get stuck into football fans again.
Millwall already being relegated will help matters. But no doubt if the Dingles get into the play-offs their small time nature will kick in, the morons will invade the pitch and Millwall fans won't react kindly to it.
You know something? If it meant their swapping places with Villa, I'd take a Wolves win in the play-offs.
Bye bye Sako.

It's no secret that many footballers, and for that fact, many of the young adult population, enjoy dabbling in a few naughty things. I'd be a hypocrite to criticise them, although I do think they are idiots for being caught.yeah human mistakes I'm with you but for hull I would hate livermore terrible timing.

Wolves have a blue and white away kit ;D
They've got a thread on the Mix about goals that still hurt, this was posted earlier. It's brilliant.
"I still think one of the worst for me though was actually not against us, going against the grain.
Picture the scene, I was sat at home, late April 2002. West Brom was playing away at Bradford. I knew less than a win in a tough fixture would put it back in our hands as we was playing on the Sunday at home to Wimbledon, with the Limbo already pre booked weeks earlier for the Sheffield Wednesday away fixture in which I and everyone finally thought we would clinch it.
I sat there for 94 mins praying, crossing, every ritual you can think of, constantly asking for reassurance from my Mrs and dear old dad Bradford would hold out whilst we was sat getting through what we hoped would be a celebratory bottle of whisky.. when (and I can hear it now) "And Bob Taylor gets tripped.. and its a penalty.. with less than 3 seconds to go".
Horrible, just horrible. Realisation, hurt, gut wrenching pain all in a matter of a minute and from them too."
I've been roaring my head off for the last 10 minutes at this, what a season.
and they've been in Limbo ever since!

I fancy them to win the division!I think your p!$$ed !! ;D
I fancy them to win the division!
It's Middlesborough's to lose this season.
No mate its LIQUIDISER, somebody pinched it out of the players canteen
I fancy them to win the division!No chance, hopefully midtable at best.
No chance, hopefully midtable at best.
Good signing of Le Fondre, decent strikeforce with him and Afobe. Expect them to be around same position as last season just missing out on the play offs
I'd take that, on goal difference please.I don't want them coming close. Horrible club and obsessed with us.

This little club are now an irrelevance to us.Sums it up nicely I think. A total irrelevance ;D
No good talking about wolves then, :)brilliant I am crying here!!
Like i said mid table at best
Not so sure about that.
In the last week they have drawn to Hull and only narrowly lost to QPR. Lets not forget QPR did the double over us last year and battered us at our place.
This so called gap between the Prem and Championship isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich look on a par with everybody else who will finish in the bottom 10 and the 3 relegated sides from the Prem look on a par with the teams who will finish top 10 in the Championship.
I wonder what odds you would get for both the Dingles and the Vile to be relegated this season? It would be a long shot but great fun if it happened and you could get legless on the winnings.
I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in for Afobe before the end of the window. Norwich are sniffing arond.
Afobe won't be happy playing for a mid championship side.
Even when giving away the club for free they still couldn't manage a decent chairman. I can't work out if Morgan fed Hayward a bunch of lies about his ambitions for the club or if he was just incompetent. I'll guess we'll find out soon enough based on how much he tries to sell it for given got it for free with the promise of a 30m investment (which I'm not sure he actually managed), could be a good money spinner.It's an interesting one, I do believe he spent around £30 million (perhaps even more), but lets say he roughly ran the club at break-even level, which I assume wasn't too hard down the years. Even if he sold the club for £50 million, which would be a steal, then he would be up £20 million, which is a fantastic return.
The completely unnecessary stand and his plans for a mega stadium that were far beyond his actual ambition are a fitting reminder of his time there.
Edit: Apparently Morgan spent £50 million on improving the facilities, bloody hell :oWhose company completed the works and whose money funded them?
Can't we just give them Lambert the legend and be done with it?
No.Never has a truer word been spoken. I agree with your sentiments sir, every f*****g one of them .
I wouldn't even give them the pox if I had it.
Other things I wouldn't give them:
1. The stink off my fart
2. The steam off my urine
3. An umbrella in a shower of pooh
4. Money in a whip round
5. The time of day
6. Fleas if I'd been shagging near a badgers sett ;) .
F(k 'em.
Don't even get me started on the Vile.
A lot of trouble going on down there, Morgan gave them 4 hours notice and is no longer in charge of the club's day to day running.
He has in effect thrown out his toys and done a runner.
Where that leaves Moxey,Jackett and the club now is anyones guess. We are fortunate in that Peace tried to get us a buyer but only one who he thought could take us to the next level.
Morgan seems to have washed his hands of the wofflers and is liable to sell to anyone who meets his price.
It's a good job the council own the land or there would have been an housing estate on it now.
Seriously, something must have gone on to have annoyed him, a couple of years ago he was on about completely rebuilding the Custard Bowl, and now he can't get out of there quick enough.
Giving excuses about more time with his family is laughable.
Terrible whats happening down there isn't it? ;)
To be honest I think it is terrible and want the premier league BCD restored as soon as possible. They are an absolute bunch of scummers but our season is a lot more boring without an away trip to Molineux. Is and always will be my favourite fixture.

Tut tut. Poor away following to Blues today for such a 'massive' club.
Just saw this on molmix and thought it worthy of sharing, its regarding Kenny the coats current position,I'll have a pint of what he's on :D
We should approach Mourinho and issue him with the biggest challenge of his life. 'Show us that you're the "Special One" by stepping out of the high-financed, elite world of Premier-League (and the European equivalents) and showing what you can make out of a big club that has no immediate prospects, at this time, of anything other than mid to lower-table Championship football. We give you three seasons to bring European football to Molineux, Jose
comedy gold - literally (even if it is tongue in cheek)

0-0 at home to MK today.
First boos around Molineux under Jackett
Remember the days when we cared about Wolves.
And Villa will always be our main rival for me.
Villa v Blues only became a big game in the 80's, Albion, Villa and Wolves have always enjoyed a fierce rivalry due to being top flight opponents for the majority of the clubs lifetime.
As i was always taught growing up by my Dad who was born and bred in Warley....Son, you pity the Wolves and you HATE the Villa
I think it's a generation thing. I hate the Wolves (born 1986) but just dislike the Villa although I'm loving their current predicament. ;D
Can't have a main rival that for the most part doesn't care about you. It's the Dingles in my humble.
Always has and will always be the in-bread scum from Witton who have been the main rival for me, I don't like the Wolves, I F**king hate the vile. ;D
I'm with you Kev!
Can't have a main rival that for the most part doesn't care about you. It's the Dingles in my humble.
1. I know there is a Villa/Albion rivalry but I dont agree when some Albion fans try and make it out to be some massive rivalry that I don't think is there to be honest
2. definitely not from both sets of supporters anyway.

I completely understand and appreciate the feelings of those of a certain age group or those who live within closer proximity to the Dog Head Scum, however...........
1. Its DEFINITELY there in the opinion of myself and many others.
2. Seriously chap, you would be surprised.
SOTV all night long baby 8).
I just base it on the games I've been to, I haven't missed a villa or wolves game home or away since 2001 and the atmosphere just don't compare for me. The FA cup game was different last season as it was a quarter final everyone was tanked up due to half 5 kick off but other than that I've never come out of a villa Albion game thinking what a game and atmosphere where as Black Country derbies there seems to be tension all day and a ferocious atmosphere from start to finish of the games.
And as I mentioned before there's normally about 10k empty seats when we play at the villa.
All opinions anyway, as you say age and location plays a big part
Definitely the Wolves for me, the whole day just has an edgy feeling, completely different atmospheres in the ground as well especially when we play the villa at their place and its played in front of 10k empty seats as the game doesn't mean much too many villa fans where as Black Country Derby is pure hatred from both sides. Beating the villa this season didn't really feel anything special either the atmosphere was pretty rubbish, although the game we beat them 2-1 and Scharner scored the winner was fantastic at their place.
I know there is a Villa/Albion rivalry but I dont agree when some Albion fans try and make it out to be some massive rivalry that I don't think is there to be honest, definitely not from both sets of supporters anyway.
Oh its there alright especially where I come from.My thoughts exactly.
They make out they dont care because they have been scared about losing their mantle as the top team in the Midlands which they have lost now. Believe me they care about us and the fact they say they dont just shows how much they do care......they are running scared because for years they have given Us, Blues and Wolves hell for being a 2nd tier side and their only way to escape the fact they are a sinking ship is to pretend they dont really care about us.
I am revelling in their demise.....I revelled in Wolves demise aswell and dont get me wrong I really do hate the Wolves with a passion but not as much as I hate Villa

Haha, they've just made my weekend: nothing sums Wolves up quite like hearing their half-empty stadium singing "we hate Albion" about a minute before Forest equalise against them. Embarrassment closely followed by failure. Truly a moment to treasure ;D

Bless 'em. They'll become relevant to us again one day.Can't stand them, let them wither away in the championship and become on a par with the likes of charlton.
Crowd of 20,000 apparently.
F(k knows where they were all hiding.

That's the away end
3-2 defeat tonight at home to Leeds. Surely Jackett is gone soon.
The fans want Mourinho...........
If they are clever they'll get rid of Jackett and get in Steve Clarke, I hope not though because he'd do a very good job with them.
Wolves are gone. I don't expect them back in the top flight in my lifetime. The only way we will play them in competitive football from here on is if we get relegated or meet them in the cup.
They are no longer relevant to us.
God I love your posts !!
3-1 down at the mo :DCorrection 4-1 :D
Correction 4-1 :DSee. its not all doom and gloom ;D
Don't think Jacket is to blame. They have a very young squad/team. Young players make mistakes. Morgan has pulled the plug. The are sinking with or without Jacket imo.
Does anyone know when we started called them dingles ? The dingles appeared in Emmerdale in the mid 90's, I'm pretty sure we spotted the likeness straight away and its been in use since then. A Dingle mate of mine suggests we stole the term from Blackburn, who call Burnley fans Dingles ... I think more likely both clubs saw the likeness in their less developed neighbours as soon as Zak appeared in the Woolpack and began using it independently, rather than one copying the other.
Also, they have a riposte to being called a dingle which goes 'i'd rather be a dingle than a ****'; to my mind the two are not mutually exclusive , and in fact many dingles are also ****s simultaneously

Indeed taken from Emmerdale to mean inbred. The Lancastrians adopted it also, no copying each other to my knowledge just the TV programme.
As I recall we started to call them "Dingles" in retaliation to them calling us "Bennies" after Benny in Crossroads
They really hate being called Dingles which makes it even funnier.But it really does sit well as a name for them doesn't it?
W0lve5 1-5 West Brom
Happy anniversary.........it should have been 10 :( - ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Odemwingie got the hat trick but Fortune was fantastic that day.
Both our clubs aspiring to mid table mediocrity I see.
I don't half the players who play for the dingles these days.
WHO!!??
Agreed, it just looks like kids and players from the lower leagues, shows how they've fallen from just 3 seasons back, love it.The seals to follow? ;D

Yep, remember some of the unclean chanting that on the metro a few years ago and weren't too pleased when we responded with "you're both!" after.No mate, the repost was "I'd rather be a c**t than a Dingle"..........I know coz it was me that started it, one game at the custard bowl in the league I think it was

Did i hear correctly Wolves were englands first representative in the european cup as it were known them daysCan imagine it, we om a mossive club ay we,,,,,,,,not as big as us wim biggest in Midlands shud be top 4 and we won the European cup
they do have much to discuss

Dropping down that table a bit :D.
One of us should buy them for £10
Maybe that figure is a bit too high, so we can all have a whip round? Huh?
So do I, although I would like to play them in the cup next year. There is no other game that comes anywhere near close in terms of atmosphere and tension as the Black Country Derby.

There is no other game that comes anywhere near close in terms of atmosphere and tension as the Black Country Derby.apart from the world wars when we didn't play, there's only been a few occasions when we've gone 5 years without a BCD , I don't think we've met in the league cup either so its getting a while since we gave them a thrashing, but nothing will ever beat that 1-5.
Quite happy for 1-5 to be our last EVER game against them.

Love this off The Mix.
Just have to face the bare facts. Albion have eclipsed us as a football club on all levels and we'll never be on par or exceed them. All down to management, nous and strategy at the top. I guess we'll need to lower our sights as Walsall being our main local rival now.

Peace could easily sell to a bunch of cowboys if his wallet benefits. They can't even boast a trophy during all their years of being more 'successful than Wolves'.
Blackburn can. Birmingham can. Wigan can.
With us most likely being the only premier league team next season does anyone think that could encourage new support from the areaimmediately? No, or if so a small number. but that will grow with time unless younger fans hop on the usual bandwagons or we do anything of note.
A post below that one makes a very valid point though...Yeah. I'd swap places with Wigan Blackburn or blues in a shot. NOT
We've got nowt to show for it.
Yeah. I'd swap places with Wigan Blackburn or blues in a shot. NOT
We have a much stronger club to show for it, we're part of the elite league when it matters, the TV money makes us a bigger club than wolves, we can pay higher wages, sign better players, are higher profile around the world due to premier league interest and coverage. It's not all about trophies , the 3 listed are testament to that, by keeping on developing as a club makes us stronger contenders for a trophy each year. We have a lot to show for it, we've eclipsed them for a start, despite all the advantages SJH gave them, that's an achievement in itself.
Not sure to be honest, I think winning a trophy and then a season following your team in Europe would be the ultimate even if it meant a few more crappy seasons in the Championship.
No chance.
I'd happily take a season or two in league one if it meant I could tell my grandchildren I saw Darren Fletcher lift the FA cup for Albion.
Football is about winning trophies and we've gone far too long without a trophy.
Stuff the Premier League and let it shove its money up its backside.
Thats what I was pretty much saying, I agree.

Stand up if you remember wolves
Would love to hear that on MOTD, echoing around the hawthorns
Be very odd watching everybody in the Smeth' sit down.
:) ;).
I just wondered what their sales/ profit /loss was last season compared to ours.Dont know their financial situation but a long period without Premiership money and the "pots of gold" Jack Hayward days just a memory they are a way off being competitive financially.
Oh that white elephant of a stand. I remember when it was being built and they were lauding it over us as it was a sign they were a "big club". They always have been obsessed with stadium capacities and attendances.
Give it two more weeks and it'll be Sammy Chung. ;D
Bhatti brothers considering a bid ! Those were great days !

I do miss playing them, much bigger games and better atmosphere than Villa.
True, quite possible because the vile dont see us as their local rival
Well..Next season it will be Birmingham as their main local rivals.
I'm confused! Are we talking about dings, or the vile? ???Villa on the Dingle thread.
It's true there is nothing like a BCD. I've been to every villa and wolves games since 2001 and the only villa game that stands out for me was the cup game. A wolves game just always has an extra edge and tense atmosphere compared to the villa games. Real hatred both ways
Used to be different. Before the 90s we really didn't care all that much about Wolves
Remind me again...
Who are they?
Villa on the Dingle thread.I think it depends how old you are, we went years without playing the dingles when they were in their rightful place in the 3rd & 4th division.
If we go too long without again against the Dingles we may start to view them similar to Villa view us, god forbid. Wo1ve5 will always be the main derby for me.
Wolves have announced a deal with the money shop and the dingles are protesting there's a petition doing the rounds to cancel itProbably because most of them own them money ::)
Thoughts ?
What's their situation regarding sponsorship?
Done deal. No amount of protesting can terminate a legal agreement unless I imagine Wolves pay a tidy sum.
Done deal. No amount of protesting can terminate a legal agreement unless I imagine Wolves pay a tidy sum.
Everytime I see this thread come to the top of the board I have to take a moment to remember who it's about.
I genuinely forgot Wolves existed for about 4 months this season.
Made me laugh out loud.
:P.
I did a double take myself some time ago.
When the thread popped up a while back I thought someone was going to say they'd gone bust.
Sad thing about it is that it's true. Playing them now would be like playing Walsall they are of that little consequence to us.
Haha, you being serious? The atmosphere would be incredible, not playing them for a few years when the majority of Albion fans under 35 hate them and most fans all ages from Rowley/Tividale onwards towards Wolvo have them as there biggest rivals.
I would be very disappointed if we lost the atmosphere of a BCD as when we play Villa at home we only just have a slightly better atmosphere than a normal league game. Also the difference between going to Villa Park where you could basically walk up from the train station to the ground in your Albion shirt to going to the Molineux is worlds apart.
BCD just have a different feel to it the week before and especially on the day.

or a circus which is quite appropriate.

Dingles / Vile / Millwall / Wigan all in the relegation dog-fight next season,
Could be a "Carlsberg" championship year
aren't they in league 1
i hear there are chineese rumours with this lot too
Robin Li is worth 9 billion :o. Wolves have won the lottery if it's true.wolves have had wealthier owners than albion for the past 30 years. they're still shyte and years behind us and long may it continue.

A lot of Wolves fans I know getting very excited.they got excited when morgan took over, now they want to lynch him. why anyone would want to own that scummy lot is beyond me,
This looks like it happening, :o dreadful news this. I really hope we have something lined up as this could seriously change the future of that clubHow much money is their potential owner said to have?
How much money is their potential owner said to have?
At the same time; Arsenal, Spurs, Man City and Chelsea all have billionaire owners, whilst the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd are global powers. With this in mind, even with billions it would be extremely hard for them to crack that elite, albeit they could still realistically leapfrog us which is saddening.
Meant to be worth 9 billion, one of China's richest men. If they do get the takeover they will also be getting a very good coach Balague has said. Kind of worrying but he is the only journalist that's reporting this, no one else has even reported anything. Express and Star don't seem to have a clue.
Norwich won't be happy, Irvine has only just joined them...
Wolves fan at work already talking about Champions League.
Any top European coach will get a culture shock in the Championship. FFP will prevent them from buying it. Will be a hard slog irrespective of wealth.
surely we are a better purchase than this lot
surely we are a better purchase than this lot
Not really, if you think about it.
It would take what? £150 million to buy us, and how much further can you really take us? Spend another £200-300 million to propel us to 8th?
But Wolves? Buy the club for £40 million, chuck another £30 million on players, and you've got a Premier League team. Then they are in the same boat as us, and for less outlay, and with more buying power.
The new owners would also get a lot of goodwill having 'rescued' them from mid-table mediocrity in the championship.

So best get relegated then and make it a cheaper purchase :)
I hope its pie in the sky with that lot, mind you with the competition in that league it will still take them years to compete at our level
I feel sick
seems like kenny jackett has confirmed all the rumours to be true and only a matter of time before it goes through and they have an owner worth 10bnWhy would the guy in charge of team affairs be given the opportunity to break the news?
They've had rich owners for 30years. Morgan is a billionaire in $, in his time Hayward ploughed a vast fortune into them. They're still s*** and always will be.
I can see another Carsen Yueng fiasco here :P
Fingers crossed

Why worry what the inbreads are doing.
I so hope so, that will be a knife turning if so, cocky twitts at the minute
Why worry what the inbreads are doing.
you say to yourself sometimes you wont let it get to you but it niggles, it could take them a few seasons to get to our level with the competition in that league though.
It would just be nice to build on what we have, better west stand, footballers, manager etc
Don't get why people are so despondent. The majority of billionaire-owned teams don't get anywhere. And ask Villa fans how their billionaire owner worked out.
They are still an utter irrelevance to us.
So have they actually been taken over yet?Tomorrow is the 8th, meant to be a very lucky number in China. Hopefully a lucky number for us when the deal falls through.
To be honest I haven't read a single press report about them.
have this lot won the lottery yetno, but I bet they end up spitting at the bloke with the winning ticket.
they starting to get excited again on the mix, someone sent a twitter have they
In tonights Dingle the takeover has been forwarded to the Football League,supposed to go through in about four days.
A few months after Morgan quit they are being taken over by a billionaire....meanwhile, back at the Hawthorns....
I don't see how Wolves can quickly return from their current malaise, surely under the financial fair play rules, the money they can receive is limited and less than a club receiving parachute payments.FFP is a bit of a laughing stock. Watford and Bournemouth abused it for years and haven't been punished. Likewise Derby and Wednesday are still spending big in the Championship with no problems.
Wolves fan at work now thinks they are going to be as big as Man City in a few years. Not sure what planet he's on.

Who wouldn't pick Wolves over Liverpool? Everyone. Everyone is the answer to that question.
have they won the lottery yet?
its all gone a bit flat with the Robin Li rumours
More chance of Robin Git taking over
In fairness, they look better than the Viles owners, that has to be a positive shunting Villa further down the pecking order.
Not as rich as first thought then and not that Robin Li who is buying them. Still looks fairly good for Wolves. There's a lot of clubs in the Championship with wealthy owners though and everyone knows how difficult it is to get out there. Time will tell whether having super agent Jorge Mendes behind most deals will be a good or bad thing
God no it's not a positive at all for me!! Hope villa get 6 points next season - wolves at home and wolves away!Nah.
Nah.
Neither to get a win.
Both draws mean they only get 2 points each.
Jackett gone according to the Birmingham Mail and is being replaced by some dude called Julen Lopetegui.
That 'dude' managed the Spanish national U19-U21 sides, and then FC Porto. He is one of the most highly-rated coaches in Europe, and plays a progressive brand of football that should shame Tony Pulis if he was smart enough to understand it.
Then again, it's Wolves, so people here will write him off as rubbish.
What does he know about the Championship though? It will end in tears. They will be the new Leeds messing around hiring and chopping managers left, right and centre.

Amusingly Spain have just appointed the Coach they thought they were getting!This is brilliant. Wind out their sails already!
To be fair the Lopetegui rumours were started by Balague who also said the club was due to be taken over by Robin Li - he was just wrong on both counts.Jenny Kacket's number was up as soon as this charade began. They thought they were too big for him when they were skint!
They've already disposed of Jez Moxey, press conference set for Monday. Could be the end of Jacket.
Just had a quick trawl through Molineux Mix, its actually hilarious.
People thinking they can get the likes of the following "Bielsa, Hiddink, Pellegrini, Van Gaal, Moyes, Martinez, de Boer"
Just read somewhere that they are willing to invest 30million over the next 2 years. Not that much in today's game. And when they say that it doesn't mean in the team could be spent in other areas
£30m in the next two years? That's two players nowadays. Ambition.Guw on lescott,finish yow mission chap
From 20m on one player to 20-30m over two seasons ;D

If it is invested wisely it is still a significant amount of money that could make all the difference for them when it comes to putting together a promotion push. It is a big IF though.
Its been fun seeing all the lads that have been virtually silent for about 5 years suddenly come out from under their rocks.
Other clubs have investment, parachute payments and wealthy owners, Wolves will be a medium sized fish in a medium sized pond, unfortunately for them, there will always be bigger fish in the Championship pond.
Kenny Jackett to stay as head coach :o

He'd only just been given the go-ahead by the new owners to carry on his good work! I've already heard this evening that Steve Bruce may take his place. Rumours, rumours, rumours....
Jackett gone.Oops
This bloke has been at 14 different clubs in his 17 year managerial career.
Sacked from most jobs at poor clubs in poor leagues.
Not exactly a sparkling CV
Is Mendes the one who seemed to be behind a lot of issues at Valencia before Neville went over there or is that another agent ?

Walter Zenga appointed as boss, had more clubs than Tiger Woods and not lasted long at any of them.
All end in tears, would have been better getting a manager who knows the Championship or keeping Jackett.
I can think of another club in the Championship who got taken over by someone from the far east, appointed a manager from who had more clubs than Tiger Woods and signed some foreign exports from Portugal - they ended up in a play-off final.
Providing the owner has some nous and gets a good blend beteeen foreign exports and championship know how it could work very well.
Fortunately - I think they're on a hiding to be a feeder club for Mendes with no long term ambitions apart from propping up the bank balance of Mendes and his associates.
Silvio: Wolves sign Atletico Madrid defender for undisclosed fee.Our scouts once got Pablo Ibanez from Athletico and that was a very odd signing in hindsight.

Us to Wolves are currently the equivalent of Wolves to Walsall.
I'm 24 and they haven't been a consistently "bigger" club than us in my lifetime, the gulf is now so big that they're just an utter irrelevance. Let them keep their delusions though, it's probably going to be a while before they get a chance to bury that 5-1 defeat.
What on earth is this bloke on about?

How much are wolves worth?
Reading about our takeover in the brummie mail online and noticed one of their bellends asking if they were still richer than us? I think they probably are and I hope that thought sustains them on the journey up to ROTHERHAM tomorrow.
Should be signing Anderson Talisca in the next few days.. Also apparently stated that he's only joining for one year to boost the clubs profile, must be getting ridiculous money for that.
There is a really loose link to Wolves after Ballotelli - Sky Bet have picked it up, now 8/1 to join them!
for me they are signing completly the wrong type of footballer for that league, Villa are doing it the right way having purchased a few leaders

Would Balotelli take the drop in playing standards to go to the wolves? I can't see him knuckling down and trying to get his career on track in the Championship. I think he would consider himself as a standard above the Championship.
This will all end in tears.
Good win for the Dingles away at Blues, still unbeaten and up to 3rd. Still think Zenga will have them mid table, but a promising start.I hope so, but fear they are going up :(
Am I the only one not bothered if they go up? They've become such an irrelevance now I don't really care. Would prefer them to get promoted over the Villa.
Can these morons get any more cowardly ???

Unfortunately, you can never get to 'meet' one of these brain deads in a one-to one !!!!!! >:(
On a lighter note, has anyone seen the vid of one dingle's failed crowd surfing effort at Blues? Fecking hilarious.
Signed borthwick- jackson on loan, who's got the best deal with the left back loans? Them or us.also signed yet another benfica reserve in ola john.must be another Mendez player.wolfs the nursery club to benfica,someone's making a pile of dough out of all these loans,a coconut to the first person to guess who
Nursery club to Benfica? There are worse things...
With all those signings they have made and mostly suspiciously like Mendez owned players they will either fly or bomb,my moneys on bomb,they haven't built a team only a nursery for selling on at a profit to foreign clubs.the new owner has got one vision and Mendez another
Supposedly the second richest club in England and they have signed Richard Stearman on loan.
Clowns. Always have been, always will be.
4 goals in the last 19 minutes to the might Barnsley....lovely!
Newcastle away up next for them too!
Then Brentford (h), Wigan (a), Norwich (h), Villa (a), Brighton (a). Zinga zenga sacked before November?

Three man shortlist, Tim Sherwood, Nigel Pearson and Paul Lambert.
Lets hope Dim gets the job, I miss that song...........
hows it go again :)
Three man shortlist, Tim Sherwood, Nigel Pearson and Paul Lambert.
Lambert took Norwich from League 1 to the premier league and then kept them there, he then moved to Villa was given no real money and told to halve the wage bill oh and he kept them in the Premier League.
Trust me, they could do far far worse!
He would be a solid appointment.
I think the same way as you do on this fella, he would be a solid appointment for them.
Hard to judge him on his Villa career as they were a club in decline, you could have put any manager in there and they wouldnt have stopped the rot they were in
But he was put in at the villa to halt the decline and couldn`t Wolves are welcome to him ask any villa fan
Not actually true. He was put in the villa job to slash the wage bill and keep them up, he did both. He's yet to fail as a manager and unfortunately I think he has the ability to get wolves back in the P.league within 18 months.
Not with a board who will impose a load of average portugese players on him.
Only hope they have is enough good kids come through the club and he can meld them with the boards acquisitions - real trick to pull off, I doubt that it can be done personally.
All the staff mendes brought have started to leave the wolves so maybe they're going back to the drawing board.
Lambert it is then , not sure if he talks sense or not never understood a word he says!.If you can understand him there may be a job going at the custard bowl as his interpreter
I seem to remember wolves fans gloating in the summer about how much they had spent, at the moment it looks like money down the drain ;D.
DINGLES have the most fans banning orders in the midlands and 2nd most in country not only team Sh*t but fans to. :-X
Calling for Lambert to be sacked yet? ;D
Don't like Wolves obviously but that was a great strike by Costa. I think they have a good player there.trust me,he wont be there long if hes the best they have and they are just a struggling side
Why was their game on tonight?EFL (or whatever it's called) QF's on the preceding days possibly? So as to avoid a telly clash?

They have drawn Stoke away.Which at least means moxey won't have to think of an incentive for said inbreds to vacate their seats?

Keep your powder dry until full time ffs.
Don't worry. They have about 2000 more fans than us so everything's fine.
Fair play to the Wolves players. Just seen in TV that they have donated £8,000 to pay for a little girl with cerebral palsy to have an operation that will enable her to walk.
A great gesture and a wonderful Christmas present for her and her family. Well done boys.
Jaysus, they'll be Champions League contenders on the mix lateryeah i wait with anticipation for bullay to come out with his famous quote again
Liverpool 's season in tatters. 150k a week for Courtinio..got to having a laugh...Arf 8)
You'd have thought Klopp would've learned from the last round when Liverpool struggled to get past Plymouth. Watching today's game was like watching the Plymouth game again except that Wolves are a better team than Plymouth.
It's time managers were stopped from disrespecting the FA Cup and made to put out as near a first choice team as possible.
The FA Cup is massively devalued to what it used to be and it's shocking that has been allowed to happen.
You should get into the champions' league if you win it. It is a joke that finishing fourth is worth more than the cup.

All with the villas ex manager , you know the one they hounded out after keeping them up, cutting the big earners and bringing in Benteke, so that the villa now have to rely on potato head the ex bluenose
And yesterday would have been weird for the dingles, it was them getting mugged outside the ground for a change.
Got back to the car after celebrating the final whistle today to get even more great news of the late Burton winner!

Well this is hilarious. If they do end up losing to Blues they are in big trouble.
Paul Robinson just been sent off for Blues!
Utterly idiotic. Soft but what the hell was the need? >:(
I don't really take much notice of wolves,but it seems to me that they have dropped like a stone and are in real danger of relegation.
Seems their cup run has done for them.
Shame really that we could see 2 massive clubs,wolves and villa in the 3rd division again,just where they belong!
Both clubs have had shocking owners and poor management and player choices,so it's no real surprise I suppose of their demise.
But even in the 3rd division they will be massive!
Ah well,oh dear, how sad never mind eh?
I bet they wish that they had a Jeremy.
Deep in the more after today 1point out the bottom 3 but do have 2 games in hand
I admire their general ambition and thirst for trophies.
Looks like they're making a determined push to compete for next season's League One title.
Cunning plan which may just come off with a little less effort on their part this season.
COYWs ;) .
Spent 30m (the same as us) in the summer, somehow managed to get worse.
Their consistent failures must make their fans so different when they've had so much in the way of outside resources ploughed into their club when we've had none, yet they're so far behind us.
and I'm so proud to think it was us that started their demise 8)
Gawd, anyone would think they had won the league on wm tonight
They thought they were going to in August, never mind maybe next season.

No chance of these lot going down now sadly.
I've said before,I hardly ever think about wolves,but I was wondering do they get any parachute payments? I can't remember when they were relegated but they do have a rich owner right?i think this season is their last parachute payment and is of little consequence as regards the final payment amount
What will villa get next season,their latest spend was £80 million I believe,but I stand corrected,I couldn't care less really,just wondering like.

Talk on the Telegraph of Lambert walking over that Mendes transfer policy . The circus continues... ;D
If I was a Dingle I'd rather have Mendes in charge of signing players. 11 Helder Costas over 11 Dave Edwards any day!
He's gone missing for half the season by all accounts
As opposed to Dangerous Dave, who hasn't turned up at all!
Hearing they have sacked Lambert.
Lambchop has gone
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39896630
His last few jobs have made mincemeat of a once decent rep'.
Aspirations of a decent appointment may now be seen as pie in the sky.
We may soon read of him becoming a toilet trader and cottaging his services.

Just talking to a doghead here at work and he is not happy at all. Mainly due to the role Mendez has got in the club - seems to be a very powerful Agent.
and we thought we had problems........
Another season where the doghead faithful will be fleeced of their hard earned to watch a pile of dross.
My Wolves mate is absolutely bouncing off the walls here. Lambert is an old school, safety first British manager, and at least under a new manager and with Mendez clients, they may be playing some football.

Yeah great signing. They will be fancying promotion this season.
Tbh its a superb signing, the type of player we'll never sign whilst Pulis is here. If they don't get promoted they'll end up selling him for £30m anyway.

He's good on Football Manager
What makes him 30m?
He played in Porto's worst team for a long time and only managed 6 starts.
How many people have actually seen him play enough times to say how good he is.
Out of interest, how many players of Nevez's style, quality and future potential did we sign prior to Pulis's arrival?
Could you name them for me please because I'm fkd if I can remember them.
Cracking signing.
If they keep going this way they'll have a better team than us.

Think it holds 32k. 30,200 there today, there's a proper buzz about the place. Their averaging just over 27k where as we are doing just over 24k. There's 10 teams in the championship who averaging more then what we do.
I must admit watching them today I was a little envious of their free flowing easy on the eye football. Something we haven't seen in a long time. I bet there looking forward to there football a lot more then we do. What we got to look forward to? Maybe a 1-0 smash and grab Monday, that's the best we can hope for
Vile very poor, but dingles were easy on the eye and played quick, dynamic football much as it hurts to admit it.

Quite possible the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on here. So you didn't find any of the Steve Clarke season interesting , including the five each with Man U or the three nil v Liverpool. You didn't find any of The early weeks from rdm in the prem interesting or the excellent performances when Roy took over? You didn't find it interesting when we beat Chelsea 3 nil after they won the league interesting? I'm sure there are other examples but already I've wasted too much time on a ridculous post!
91 Points and 89 goals in 2010 was our bestThankyou i knew someone would have the facts, i believe we scored 100 plus goals during the season in all competitions.
So there getting over 30 k in the championship and were struggling to hit 25k in the premier league.
Says a lot about what pulis has done to us really. To the point we're people don't want to go regardless of result or regardless of league position.

Totally agree with you all those moments were all exciting, my comment was directed at the fact we're in a league now just to make the numbers up and survive back then we were in a league we could win and did win. Being also rans when we are playing god awfull football just doesn't excite me at all, when we had that championship side it was exciting. I'm talking about the bigger picture not just individual games or a run of a couple of months
we would struggle to hit 30k in the prem....considering our ground doesnt hold that many.
If you want to compare the clubs based on attendances then carry on..but it means nothing
Out of interest what was the avg gate prior to TP? Around the same give or take a hundred or so?
Not that it matters but there is practically no difference in the historical attendances of Wolves, Albion and Blues.
Lost on pens to man city
Fair play to the Dingles, they are going well and there is a feel good factor about them.
It reminds me of us 10 years ago in the Mowbray years, every game is exciting and something to look forward too, your aiming to hit the 'holy grail' of the premier league.
Sadly the reality is once there and after consolidating, the premier league is s**t for most fans outside the top 6, i have no doubt if Wolves come up (and still a big if) if they stay up for a few years there fans will soon feel like ours do now - bored! Not just of the football but the premier league.
Thats why good luck to them now, they are enjoying themselves, some might be getting carried away and i dont think Barca or Real Madrid are panicking too much just yet, but the reality is as a fan of either Wolves or Villa you would look forward to games more than us because they are playing for something.
Everton in for Nuno according to Guillem Balague - which is usually a decent indication that it isn't going to happen.
Would be interesting if Mendes was to oversee a change of manger so soon and who he would look to replace him with if it were to happen.
for the first time in along time i predict them to go up if they cope with the winter months, smoking last night they were
Have they won the Championship AGAIN last night? That's at least the 3rd time they've won it this season.
going to need a bigger trophy cabinet...

Thanks.
Sounds like you should be supporting them...
Thanks.
Is it wrong to acknowledge when another team are playing well, or is this yet another indication of your short sightedness....
I get that you have to stick to boring and dull now that every week you have supported the unsupportable mr Pulis.
I am an Albion fan, which is why I a man clever enough to see what is happening and require a change (rather than just being arrogant and not being able to say I was wrong?)
You're an Albion fan supposedly. Credit where it is due for everyone EXCEPT Dingles and Vile. Oh and apparently Pulis.
I am an Albion fan, which is why I a man clever enough to see what is happening and require a change (rather than just being arrogant and not being able to say I was wrong?)
Any player or team that can play deserves credit, there is nothing wrong with honesty?
Tonight do you think you are in the majority?
Read my posts I don't want him to stay because he's wonderful or I'm having a great time at matches or to be proved right. I don't trust the club to replace Pulis with a coach that plays attacking football which meansxdismissing him is a waste of time.
On topic it is utterly pointless looking at Wolves in the division below in November. It has no bearing on what is possible at Albion. You and others are trying to use Wolves early season form to justify Pulis Out. They haven't done or won anything yet.

Remind me. We have won what again?
If wolves playing well is irrelevant, then our exploits of near a decade ago must also be?
The Championship 9 years ago and aside from one season been in the top division ever since. It's not a contest. Wolves are in a good run of form in the division below after we sent them into the wilderness and ALBION fans are talking like they're Barca. It's far more embarrassing than anything we produce on the pitch.
If wolves playing well is irrelevant, then our exploits of near a decade ago must also be?
No one has said it is a contest?
No one has called them Barca ?
I'd suggest your constant defence of pulis staying as manager is more embarrassing than people recognising good football.
Wolves are playing well and i belive they will come up . Club seems to be going places and we aint . 😕
Hate to point out the obvious for those having a pop at Jacko, but he is no lover of TP.
He is however a fully paid up member of 'The We All Hate Wolves Scum' club.
Jacko would step in dog sh it and lick the soles of his trainers clean before wishing them well and congratulating them on anything other than a spectacular relegation campaign.
He echoes my feelings for the real enemy.
SOTV 😎 .
I don't think I have seen a single post wishing them well?
Threes a big difference between being able o say they are playing good football ......and wanting them to succeed.
And I don't think I posted that anyone had wished them well.You said Jacko would perform a series of tasks,before “he†would wish them well ??
I think ( in fact I know) that I posted what I felt/believed Jacko's preference would be in such a scenario.
Very aware of the difference between being able to say they play good football and wanting them to succeed too.
Equally, I am aware that he has no obligation to acknowledge them in such a way should he not wish to.
Cheers all the same ;D .
You said Jacko would perform a series of tasks,before “he†would wish them well ??
Europe in 3 now according to that lot down the road ;D
Not when it gets physical they won't, they have not yet been promoted have they, or did I miss something? A few good performances at this time of the year when all is going well is no different than a few bad ones when things could have gone better. March 2018 would be a more realistic time for this sort of comment. Anyway we have always been better than them and always will be, regardless of position or football style. They are 2 divisions higher than where they ought to be, or more accurately where I would like to see them. I cannot, nor will I ever understand the praise that they are getting from some Albion supporters, particularly those who see nothing good in the team they say they support. Still being a football supporter is all about opinions and prejudices and I fully drink to that (or pretty much anything else for that matter - but I do draw the line at bulling up the dog yeds from down the road)
They will get there before us playing football

Meanwhile over on a wolves twitter page :
The year is 2021.
Conor Coady lifts the Champions League Trophy in Munich after goals from Mbappe & Morgan Gibbs White land Nuno’s men a 2-0 win over Interim Manager Cristano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid.
Wolves fans were singing that they are coming for us. Be afraid, be very afraid.Loffin,someone tell them its far easier knocking over the Brentford's and the Bolton's of football
Wolves fans were singing that they are coming for us. Be afraid, be very afraid.
They are only coming for us if we actually stay up so we might get away with it :P
Good plan.
What's Pepe Mel doing these days?
The problem Wolves will face is that 3 or 4 of their regular starting line up are loan players who may not be there next season IF they get promoted. Bony, Jota, Bonatini and N'Daiye are all loans.
Also chances are players like Costa, Neves and Cavaleiro will be sought by more established clubs in the Pl or from clubs in Europe (who may offer the chance of Champions or Europa league football).
Surely FFP comes into play with these lot. I reckon they HAVE to get promoted this year.Well it was reported a couple of months ago that this was their make-or-break season.
with their wealth and the way they play football at the moment their time as come. they will be massive in the coming years sorry to say

I could be wrong but arent Fosun an investment group? (similar to our owners just a lot lot bigger)
They are different to a Man City, Chelsea and a few others in that they will expect to make money on their investment, as for Mendes he is the same, Wolves is a shop window for his players, if they do well then but Wolves dont then he will make money selling them on, its a win win for him personally.
Also worth noting it took Man City a good few years from when they got taken over to actually winning something, they were also starting in a lot higher place than Wolves before the takeover in that they were already a established premier league club (something Wolves havent ever really been) and had some good players already there.
Also worth noting with exception of one year when they got to the Semi Final of the Champions League they have got nowhere in it after several years so dont really see Barca and Real panicking too much about the Dingles just yet, its usually the same clubs involved in the latter stages.
Man City are also a ten times bigger club than Wolves anyway (as they are us) and a lot more appealing location, name, history, etc and i use Man City as a comparison because some Wolves fans i know said they are the next Man City, this was said after they blew the mighty Reading away.
We have been here before with them, when Sir Jack was owner they were going to be the next Blackburn, it didnt happen. When they went up in the playoffs they were there to stay, it didnt happen and they havent troubled the top flight since the season they were tore a new one at the Custard Bowl by us.
I have said previous they are going well, playing entertaining stuff and the fans are excited, good luck to them, but the c**k waving didnt seem to happen when they lost the mighty Cardiff City, Sheffield United and QPR! Its not even Xmas and people seem to think they are promoted already, wait til xmas and when teams work out when you rough them up you get joy which usually happens when you play the reverse fixture.
They have a new era/new start every couple of years and get carried away, if they are still there come start February then thats when you take them serious and if they do come up, see how they do then.
On a side note, i hope they do come up and i hope Villa do, its a lot more interesting with local derbies each season.
And you were doing do well, only to fall at the final hurdle.That made me laff, my views entirely, don't give a hoot about 'em!
Fiddlesticks and fudge to the pair of them.

Loffin my nuts off at the WM phone in ATM,one Wilf fan says they are the second best team in the country after citeh.there must be a serious shortage of straight jackets in wolverhamptonand brain cells
Heard it. The next fan again said they'll win the champions league. He said unlimited funds from fosan. The presented tried to tell him about financial fair play but he just carried on anyway
There once was a team called the Wanderers, who thought they’d be West Midlands conquerors - their memories’ short and too easily bought so beware of a kick in the conkers!
Now all’s good a well when they’re grinning, all you hear is that in-bred lot singing - but if they come up...it’ll soon all blow-up, there’s a lot less more games they’ll be winning.
In the mind of a dingle it’s sparse, no surprise with ones head up ones backside - now give it a year and the Baggies can cheer, st another old Molineux farce!
Slime? What a charming chap. ::)I hate you lot with a passion, and nothing I've ever seen over the last 52 years has given me any reason to think otherwise.

Good luck for the rest of the season as we cannot have enough Midlands teams in the premier league. Hopefully we’ll be there with you come next season.
Hopefully? incase you slip up and screw it up.... AGAIN? :PNever count my chickens after ‘that’ season. :o
Some of their fans do go over the top but the future looks bright for them sadly.

Latest deluded Dingle on WM says we are playing premiership football not championship football,Wolverhampton is full of idiots
I don’t think I he media is helping with a certain element of our fans. There are articles all over the place saying we’re the championship Man City, that we have no weeknesses etc.
I’m just enjoying a great start to the season and I’m hopefully of promotion but I’ll not be counting my chickens until they hatch and that old fat lady is in full voice. ;)

They will get torn apart when they come up if they keep their present squad. However, I will recognise that they are doing well and its going to be interesting.......
They would add to it significantly and have the best man in the business on their side for the purpose of such a recruitment drive.
I agree with you Fritzl, but I think our deluded friends are basing their Premier league champion aspirations on what they have at present. It is certainly going to be interesting though - Portugal winning the Premier League......
a force with clout, the 1-5 a distent memory
Surely next year's Premier League Champions who our own fans don't want to play because they're so good should have had enough to put the team one place above them in their place? No? As you were.I like the cut of your jib, Jacko............nice one mate........GOD I HATE THEM !!
Like all clubs we have our fair share of dreamers. A little like the Albion fans who think you’re staying up! ;D
Joking aside it was a game we should of won but another red card ruined the game for awhile but they still couldn’t break us down. What was really funny is how much respect they showed us considering they are the PL team.
If we do go up I think we’ll have enough to survive but I’ll never count my chickens until that rotund lady starts singing. We all remember the choke season. :o
Good luck for the rest of the season, I sincerely hope you survive, I’d love the BCD to be a regular fixture in the PL.

Is not spread over a five year period?
They have plenty of wriggle room. And even more with promotion.
Randy Lerner? Think you’re confusing your seal with your dingles. ;D
While I’m loving all the speculation with Wolves I’m also cautious, this doesn’t feel normal in my lifetime of following wolves. I cannot believe what is happening with our club!
Looking at the way the sentence is presented, I think that's exactly what he's referring to, he's basically saying as a comparison that the last chairman to go ham and spend spend spend to try and break into the top 6 was Randy Lerner at the Villa (when I think they had O'Neill as manager?) and look how that went...
I'd genuinely be interested to know the Wolves fan perspective on worries (if any) about FFP rules being broken based on your spending this season. Is it something that your fans ever bring up with the club or amongst yourselves?
Atm they are a good side playing attractive football. thought at the start of the season they'd do well with the players brought in. Only paid a small fee to buy the club so Fosun will be happy with their investment when promotion is sealed at the end of this season.Don't think they'll walk away either but why would they,it's small change to them so far.
(they aint that bright are they, really?, just remember they get their heads stuck in microwaves for entertainment).Correction - it was a microwave filled with quick drying cement! :P
Nope credit where its due they are playing well and they way they are going they should seal promotion.
If they can spend then im not going to get jealous...why should I?
They will come up and make up the numbers like the rest of us...the euphoria will soon wear off!
Just hope we can stay up and we can have a BCD back again
Never thought I'd say this, but I don't begrudge them a thing. Unlike the Vile, I think they're a realistic club - mostly - and to be fair they've played some great football this season.
I'd be delighted if the Black Country Derby could be played in the Prem next few seasons, genuinely.
BUT if we goo down, I hope we shaft the Vile.
SMETH DAN you appear to live in an age when aggro was the king. Let's grow up and hope we meet Wolves in the Prem next season with no silly bother.
Don't really care about the Dings until we play them (SOTV 8)).
That said I'm perfectly aware a significant chunk of their support hate us with an unbridled passion.
Equally I fully appreciate how and why so many of ours detest so many of theirs.
With that in mind I'd be perfectly happy to never play the swamp dwelling w@nkers again.

I feel exactly the same, Villa can rule Europe for a decade for all I care as long as these lot achieve nothing!
Good luck to em, second in wealth behind Man City.Financially apart from when they went bust in the mid eithties they always seem to have more dosh than us, its the seals i want to see suffer
we will always and have been the third team in the west midlands
Really?
They were better than us for a few years in the 90s when we were a mess but even then they were perennial bottlers.
Other than that you would have to go back to the 50s to find a period where they were comprehensively better than us.

Comedy gold on WM last night, one retard reckons Ronaldo will see out his playing days with them.
I think they are setting themselves up for a fall (fingers crossed)
Wouldn't surprise me in the least unnffortuanately with Mendez and their current wealth
Let them have there day in the sun, was in the pub with loads of wolves lads last night and though as excited as they all are (and rightly so) a few of them also said if mendes goes were fudged. Same fosun try and recap the money short term. Not all of them are thinking they're champions of europe just yet
i did say wealthier not better
Really??!! If that is correct why do you think they went bust 2 or 3 times in their not so distant past? As a Dudley lad, since the 1950s I kept a close watch on our local rivals & never felt they had any more money than us & usually had less which is why they went bust. Also while we've been raking in the Premier League money they've been scraping by on Chumpionship (& lower) money!
A good friend of mine last night in the pub genuinely claimed he'd seen a photo of Mendes and C.Ronaldo in....wait for it....Bentley Bridge. :o :o ;D ;DHe was in boundary mill yesterday looking at the half price Austin reed suits so there's may be something in it
They're getting too big for their boots if you ask me. They've been double relegated, smashed their own ground up lost 5-1 to us on their own turf in recent years. All of a sudden they're winning the championship and they're getting some money spent and they think they're going to win the champions league in 3 years.
Mendes will get bored soon and use someone else for his money. Anyway, they drew at Barnsley yesterday so this is where the wheels start coming off.
Some of the pant-wetting in this thread is downright embarrassing. There's no chance of these lot ever finishing in the top 6, yet some of you seem to be willing them to sign Ronaldo and win the Champions League just so you can wallow in self-pity. Get a grip.
SMETH DAN you appear to live in an age when aggro was the king. Let's grow up and hope we meet Wolves in the Prem next season with no silly bother.
Oakwell. Start of the great collapse. ;D
Hello Brian.Haha, a very entertaining and clever reponse bought a smile to my face.
I do not live in age when aggro was king and I have no interest in said age's return.
No, I inhabit a world where many football supporters of differing allegiance don't really have a lot of time for their counterparts. And whether you like it or not, so do you. I believe it relates to football rivalry and traditional tribalism. You may feel such feelings belong in the long distant perimeters of the playground, many others do not.
My post did not encourage 'silly bother'. I stated that I'm not overly fussed with their existence until we play them, and went on to infer that my rivalry and interest lies with those of a claret and blue persuasion. Further, I acknowledged many Dinlges blindly dislike many of ours and vice versa. Further to this I tenuously alluded that all may not be well when Albion and Wolves cross paths in the future.
I don't have much contact with the those from the dark side. But I can assure you they will not have gone soft and squidgy on us since our last meeting, so make sure you watch your back, as given half the chance some of 'theirs' would love nothing better than have the chance to watch it for you.
Anyway, multi congrats on your ascension to a higher state of consciousness. I genuinely hope it serves you well if ever cornered by any of their more inbred, sh it kicking mongrels who DO still live in an age of 'aggro' and 'silly bother'. Ie, those with no wish to share in a spirit of bromancishness, bonhomie or good will to all.

I got pelted on here for suggesting they were playing decent football....they still are but we have to remember the step up is massive and they recently lost to Swansea when they were bottom.
The Dingles are in a spot of bother here, another piece in the Telegraph about the role of Mendes from a legal standpoint. No smoke without fire
If we could quickly get 3 wins, could still be a superb end to this season ;D
I don't think they're doing wrong but Mendes and his involvement in football needs looking at, his players all seem to drift between certain clubs each season in different countries
If they blew it, after crawling out the woodwork for the first time in 40 years and all the big one they've been giving it about expanding the Molineux to 60,000, Champions League in 3 years, best football ever garbage, I think the Midlands would keep over as everybody laughed themselves to death.

Good luck to them, they are going up with hope and excitement which is what all fans want, think it will end in tears with the Mendes stuff but would rather be in their shoes than ours right now!
The reality is they are nowhere near as good as some of them think, they are flat track bullies, they have lost to all the three teams below them including two in recent weeks.
They have also dropped points against most of the other teams competing for the playoffs as well as losing against Swansea who were at the time were in terrible form.
In normal circumstances thats fine, however as some Wolves fans think they are revolutionising football and that Man City can only dream of playing the way Wolves do, i think they need to be up their game a bit as most decent sides in the top of that league have taken points off them and if you want to win the premier league next year, you cant drop points like that.
Some Wolves fans i know are enjoying the ride, going along with the banter with Ronaldo signing, etc but a worrying amount think they are going to be champions league next season and are serious, I would imagine this time next season they will be in the bottom 6 or 8, competing in a relegation battle (and probably doing a better job than us at the moment to be fair) and some fans bubbles will be well and truly burst.

Yeah because their FFP-restricted wage budget of £79m by 2019-2020 will allow them to compete with the top 6 who are paying £200m+... FFS we've been relegated this season with a higher wage bill than Wolves will be allowed in 2 seasons time.And you clearly don't recognize sarcasm when you see it.

Oops, sorry love thats never happened before.

Wolves just signed Benik Afobe and now in talks to sell him straight to Stoke ???
Completely weird unless they are trying to include him as a makeweight in the Butland transfer.

If they sell him on for £12.5m they've made a £2.5m profit within a week. That allows them to sign a £12.5m (Mendes) player without penalty over five years, I believe. If this is the case you would presume this has been discussed with Afobe prior to him resigning otherwise all the nonsense about him returning home seems a little hollow.
I've been relatively defensive of them the past season, they're entitled to tap into the pool of players Mendes has but things like this take it to the next level. Sadly football is a business now and I imagine we will see more of this in the coming years of it. Power to them but it's absolutely hollow, they might have an enjoyable 90 minutes every Saturday.
They have owners who clearly know what they are doing. I, for one, would love to see it at our place, but sadly since the takeover of our owners it has been unmitigated disaster after unmitigated disaster culminating in being in the Championship with the appointment of a head coach who has managed 6 professional games in his life.
With backing of fosun and contacts and players under Mendes they will go big.Wolves have been in a position previously where they had a financial benefactor that gave them an advantage over most of their peers and that didn't get them very far.
Any Albion fan that can’t see that is misguided.
Hope it all backfires avfc style but really can’t see it
another portuguese joins the ranks. Portugals goalkeeper. champions league in two seasons

They won't but I think they will find the second season difficult. Its a good bit of business for them.
Hahaha
They will come straight back down.
They won't come down. Not in my opinion. Teeming with quality but it's going to be interesting to see how the players go from being big fishes in a small pond to not.
They're not going to get into the Champions League in a hurry mind, Mendes' help or not. Leicester were a massive exception.
Teeming? Really. The centre back is a journeyman. The striker not prolific. The defensive midfielder on the radar of bigger clubs. The rest are average Chumps cloggers. Coady. Both full backs. The wingers. They're going down.
£5m for Moutinho is brilliant business.
europa league mark my words
europa league mark my words
Going off the rails a bit this lot for me. I was envious of how Fosun were going about it with the focus on youth and getting the likes of Neves and Jota with massive resale potential. They're now just hoovering up anyone with links to Mendes and and a Portugal cap. Moutinho is 32 soon and clearly on his way down, they're also after 35 year old Pepe if reports are to be believed.
In the battle for best of the rest, I think they're behind Everton, Leicester, West Ham and Southampton at the least.

I am still convinced that it will all end in tears.......
Same.
I think they'll be bottom 3.
Same.
I think they'll be bottom 3.
I can’t see them breaking top 6 and i definitely can’t see them finishing bottom 3 so can’t see them doing anything we haven’t the last 8 years. As we all know it gets to the point where it makes no real difference whether you finish 8th or 16th in the league unfortunately
People thinking with their hearts rather than their heads if they think wolves will be bottom 3
But we had Pulis in charge 😦
It will be interesting to see how they do for the next 2 years. More and more Wolves fans seem certain that Fosun are going to build a side that challenges for champions league places and will keep ploughing in huge amounts of money until they start turning a profit (apparantly, the Chanps league cash will be part of the business plan, or so they say).
While I think Wolves could easily become a side that gets the odd Europa league qualification (possibly as soon as next season), I think their fans are probably being very presumptious to be so certain an investment fund would keep throwing miney into such a risky project.
City still have the wealth of Abu Dhabi behind them, United are the biggest commercial club in the world while Liverpool have millions of fans all over the world. You then also have to finish above giants like Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea for atleast 2 seasons on the trot before that champions league income starts to give you a competitive advantage. Can Wolves really achieve that? Even if they exceed my expectations and some how do a Leicester and finish there for 1 season, as Leicester proved, 1 season isn't enough, it is so hard to sustain.
I just can't see it at the moment.
wolves fans have a lot to look forward to which is great, that's what we want, they've got a new lease of life whereas we're coming out of a coma. hate to say it but I think they'll be lording it over us for a while.
Strong D1ngle5 team drew 0-0 at Stoke tonight.
Strong D1ngle5 team drew 0-0 at Stoke tonight.
And? ??? Means nothing.
Signing Adam Traore now.
Can see them doing well. Signed some good players, kept there best players from last season too.For sure, but the real question is can they go higher than top 10?
I like Nuno too a very good coach, top 10 achievable.
See Carl Ikeme has retired from football.
Best wishes for the future and I hope he gets through all his issues.
Spot on Fosun will take them as far as they ca (mid table) make lots of dosh off the back of player sales and then jettison the project. Timescale ? I’m thinking 3 or 4 years tops! Which is not time enough to establish a worldwide brand.
Apparently representatives of Fosun had a meeting with a fans group last night, and were outlining their long-term aim was to be at the top table, with the Custard Bowl having a 50-60k capacity. With FFP, they need to achieve this by building a sound financial base and bringing in money through player sales. It's not going to be the easy route, but that's where they want to go.
As for Carl Ikeme, it's sad news but it has been coming. I hope he finds something that makes him happy.
Traore confirmed, Dedoncker close to signing for them.
Comparing their owners to ours is thoroughly depressing.
What about the home grown rule and FFP? Or is it just our excuse for being tight? They have spent a lot of money, but West Ham have spent £100 m and Chelsea have spent £70m on one player. Mid table I reckon. If they lose Saturday the next games become more important, Leicester away, Man City at home.
Spending like they have won the lottery, seen it all before.....
Lets see how it works out shall we?
Villa spent £90m in the season they got relegated; spending money means jack rubbish. They brought Traore that season too.
True, but in the couple of years FOSUN have owned the Wolves they have been extremely successful so you have to look at their spending in a different light as their game plan has been solid thus far, whereas Dr. Tony had no pedigree and his scatter gun approach was always going to be a disaster.
Villa spent £90m in the season they got relegated; spending money means jack rubbish. They brought Traore that season too.
Having Mendesnotemployed by the club helps there. There is no way, even with money that Wolves would have signed half those players if Mendes wasn't pushing from both directions.
Bottom. Below Cardiff and Huddersfield. Get on it.

Or Mendes is lining his own pockets by selling them a load of overhyped players who will struggle with the fast pace of the prem. ;D
Dendoncker confirmed. Another brilliant signing by them.
I'm afraid Wolves have been shopping in a completely different league to Villa when they were relegated, likewise Fulham. Cardiff look to be the only promoted side who are really short on players.Good post. Hurts me to say it, but Wolves and Fulham are showing how to do business and build sustainable, long-term success at a club: with thorough, wide-ranging scouting, and recruiting young, technically gifted players who are developing and are therefore likely to fetch high resale value. Jealous.
Both Wolves and Fulham have invested in young, quality players who if they come good in the PL have enormous re-sale. Take that Seri at Fulham, he was already linked with some of the top sides across Europe. He has a good 18 months at Fulham they're looking at a £60m player, makes the £25m they paid for him look like pocket change.
Same with Wolves; Neves, Dendonker, Jota - I'll eat my hat if they don't at least double their money on those players. Good luck to them.
I am sure I read somewhere that Fosun looked into buying us first but the price was too high
We were one of a number of teams they looked at, mostly around the Midlands, but the amount of money they would have had to invest to move us on compared to Wolves was immense, and the FFP regulations would have limited them too.This is true. We were considerably a better proposition at the time for Fosun as most of our infrastructure was in place with state of the art training facilities and an excellent academy. We were up for sale at considerably better value despite being a division below at the time.

We were lucky that one of the few good things Steve Morgan did was invest heavily in building works. At the time everyone was kicking off that he’s lining his own pockets building his 5 bed homes in Compton but ultimately it’s proved to be a god send.
Exciting times at Molineux and I’m certainly enjoying the ride.
Can't blame you my friend. I have nothing but envy for your position.

I see they managed to match our result at home against Everton last season, albeit with 50 minutes against 10 men. ;)
They wasn't bad at all.
They'll score goals, but with that defence they'll also concede alot.
Exciting season for them.
Quite the opposite. Against 11 men I don't see where the goals are going to come from.
The naughty word wold have gone in if there was 30 everton players on the pitch. They still created that chance against 11 players so there's one.
It wouldn't have gone in if Pickford had stayed still :-X
It would of done though wouldn't it?
No?
Have you even seen it? If Pickford doesn't jump/bounce to his right it's an easy save.
Can we cut the petty squabbling please, any more will go the same way as the others have done.
Don't have much against the wolves as being from handsworth the vile were the enemy lol but having looked from the sidelines I think the newcomers might have been a little disappointed tonight in their quest to break into the top 6 as most of their fickle followers would have expected to comfortably beat the perennial 7th/8th place finishers especially since they had 10 men after the 40th min.I agree with this, it's easy to spend in the Premier League but to spend wisely is completely different - whereas in the Championship there's no 'big 6' to contend with so it works a lot easier.
Franksy the tw@t on wm was creaming himself on wm phone in tonight
I agree with this, it's easy to spend in the Premier League but to spend wisely is completely different - whereas in the Championship there's no 'big 6' to contend with so it works a lot easier.
Due to their ambitions, I could see them sacking Nuno at some point - even if he is comfortably above the bottom 3. Unless they got in the next Pochettino then I doubt there's enough stability to progress as they hope, and that is when they would become undone.
What was the crowd at the custard bowl last saturday
The naughty word wold have gone in if there was 30 everton players on the pitch. They still created that chance against 11 players so there's one.
I heard on wm tonight that fosun want top ten this season, then next year champions league followed by winning the whole thing. This was from franksy the presenter. He said they want to win the whole thing, serious money will be spent for that.
Similar aspirations to the good doctor down at vile park a few years ago.
I know that FOSUN have money behind them, but I was under the impression that the Chinese government had restricted cash leaving the country, so I will be interested to see how this pans out. Fair play to them if they give it a go but I am still convinced that it will all end in tears....for me there is something not financially right with that club.
Not as good as they think they are are they :-X
On a serious note which players in their starting 11 would you put in our side? Moutinho and Neves, that's it? Thought so.
Man for man they might in some opinions be better, but we all know it's how the team plays and if the confidence is there .theirs is a team which doesn't understand what its like to lose a run of games, will be interesting to see how they can handle that. (Badly I hope)
Lose 5-6-7 vs city next week followed by a couple more quick defeats and they will be in big trouble.
I haven't seen wolves but my lad said there defending reminds him of our defence under Mowbray, oh dear!!
Their problem is partly that they don't have a main striker,
Their problem is partly that they don't have a main striker, it's Bonatini who isn't fantastic so although they create chances they don't actually finish too many.An impressive impartial post i tend to agree on a mid-table club which isn't too shabby for the Premier the question is will that be enough for the Wolves supporters.
Having said that, they will be fine because they have some great players and even if they're hovering around the drop at January, they can still re-invest and re-inforce.
I've said it previously in this thread - I think they won't meet the heights that their owners have for them though; I believe they will be more similar to Watford than other clubs, i.e. relative comfort in staying up but without really progressing and constant changes.
Personally I don't think Nuno is quite good enough for their expectations and may get sacked if he finishes below 12th. I think he could finish 13th for instance which isn't bad, but get the sack if their owners are demanding/too ambitious. From there you have a new guy who comes in whose meant to go further, but it's not that easy and takes time. Eventually the process repeats itself as short-term success if demanded and you soon have a revolving door of managers.
With Watford, they have a great scout network with the Pozzo family and have a similar model of transfers, i.e. Nyom who went there was from a Pozzo club and so on. Part of this is great as it brings in cheaper players and better players, but it also has its problems as those players are often moved relatively quickly for profit.
I think the Wolves bank on making big profits by selling players like Neves on for more money, then re-investing to improve. But they already spend lots of money and having money to invest isn't always easy, i.e. Southampton and even us last season.
Just my thoughts anyway, as I said previously they would need to get a bit lucky and bring in a Pochettino-type character to propel them, but those sorts of appointments are very rare in the Premier League. Basically I think they will hover around the mid-table and have impressive players but too much instability to progress.
On a serious note which players in their starting 11 would you put in our side? Moutinho and Neves, that's it? Thought so.
Patricio is Portugal's number one, so he'd get in ahead of Johnstone.
Boly is better than Hegazi.
Jonny is an Atletico player, and will get better as he goes along, so he might get in.
Neves and Moutinho are no brainers.
Jota is a very good player, as is Cavaleiro. Probably both of them.
If you put together an eleven out of both clubs, they'd have more in it than we would.
Playing devil's advocate Patricio is at the end of his career. Is Jota any better than Chadli, Phillips or Barnes? Not sure he is. Same goes for Cavaleiro.
I'd love to give them a game. I think it would be more evenly matched than some of you are making out.
The Boly I saw against Everton was useless and I'd rather have Hegazi.
Age is irrelevant, Patricio is still better.
Jota is better than Phillips or Barnes or any of the others you mention. Jota will fetch upwards for £30m (providing he doesn't have a release clause) when he leaves Wolves.
Cavaliero is injury prone, jury is out on him. Costa the same but both very capable players and deserving of a spot in a PL team.
Boly was useless against £50m worth of striker, Hegazi looks scared stiff of second division plodders.
It's all well and good having confidence in our team but regurgitating S***e like this just makes us sound like every Wolves fan for the last decade when they kept saying they were better than us... guess what? They weren't.
'On paper' you may well be right.... but we all should know by now football games aren't played on paper.
Confidence, form etc play a massive part.
By looking at them they have a decent enough team, but the biggest issue is how they 'steamed' the championship and expected to do the same to the premier league.. seeing them come crashing back down to reality is nearly as satisfying as seeing us score 7 goals in a game. ;D
Have to say I'm having real trouble with these deluded dingles. I've got mates who haven't 'wanted to talk about' wolves for about 5 years yet now you can't shut the f****** up. Never have I wanted them to fail more now than in my whole life. They are the ficklest fans in world football. Absolutely hate that club with a passion.My manager couldn't tell you who they were playing two years ago , got his first ST now. Sickening.

Going down, apparently :o #jackoknowsat the same time, they are only one win more than we had this time last year, small margins etc.
at the same time, they are only one win more than we had this time last year, small margins etc.
Or they might attract even better players.
They seem to be on the right track don't they.
Although I tend not to watch motd any more,tune into 037, at 10:30 tonight for some proper footy.
Watched them outplayed by Huddersfield yesterday, which made my day. Must admit Huddersfield were terrific though.
I just can't wait to see the dog-heads implode.
They just can't handle blue and white stripes100% this
I live within earshot off the Cardiff City ground. I heard 2 massive cheers earlier this evening... wonder what that was? :D
100% this
Don't help with a team full of Portuguese who just didn't fancy it against a workman like side. I wouldn't be surprised to see Colin w*nkers Cardiff do the business against them too
Wolves defender Matt Doherty says the club's owners are seeking a Premier League title "within the next five or six years" as he predicts a top-10 finish in May.
A bold prediction methinks!

I find the way they have elevated Fosun to the greatest thing since since sliced bread as cringeworthy. Fosun are an investment group, so are really only interested in making money from there investment. Unlike Chelsea who are a billionaires plaything or City who are similar, though basically funded by a country, money no object. I think Wolves owners will be gone before ours.
https://www.molineuxmix.co.uk/index.php?threads/could-it-be.207990/
So the reason for Wolves poor form isn't that they're not actually a European contender, its because the current team are upset they're about to be replaced by superstars in January.
FOSUN have invested a lot to Wolves, they had some real coups at Championship level and clearly had a lot of money injected. But the idea they're trying to make them a premier league force just doesn't stack up. Wolves signings are still largely Mendes clients - squad and fringe players from Portugal, Monaco, and Atletico (with the exception of Patricio, although he's not that good either). Decent players for sure can be got this way but the idea they're going to be getting superstars just has no basis, but they'll likely continue getting good investment.
Jiminez will be the litmus test for how much they're actually controlled by Mendes, if they actually go through with paying £35m for him after his loan then they're just at his mercy, otherwise I can believe its set up as a mutually beneficial thing.
Fair play tonight they rode their luck and took their chances. First win for 2 months... they'll be right down there in May.
I remember going to Old Trafford and beating Man U...we still got relegated
Good result but means nothing really......

We've been beating the top 6 on and off for the last 9 years. They're having a season in the ascendancy. Nothing more.
Sorry old friend, but they are to be admired. You can see exactly what they are trying to do, unlike the season we finished 8th where we added Lukaku to the organisation of a Hodgson side and blew teams away for the first four months before dying away completely after Christmas.
They are a force to be reckoned with, you'd be deluded not to admit it.
They are doing well and playing good football
Still need a good wash, but never mind
It's villa who are the real enemy , sotv sotv sotv
Besides which we own wolves 😀
Don't normally hear much of the show but heard a good one on WM phone in last night last night when a Villa fan called them "Bilston Barcelona"
Tickled me anyway
This Mendes and Fosun expose makes for an interesting read if you have the time and inclination
https://uk.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/soccer-files-fosun/
They will beat Bristol city and if they avoid Man City or Chelsea/Man Utd their going to Wembley :(Unless they draw us ;)
I think we need to prepare ourselves for them winning something in the next few years, be that the FA cup, League cup or even, god forbid the Europa league.
They won't get top 4, like some of their fans have deluded themselves is part of Fosun's long term plan, however they currently sit in the last European place and I can't see them being caught. They are a Bristol City away from their first FA cup quarter final in years as well.
I'm going to hate it as a gloating Wolves fan is nearly as bad as the "i'm really hard and will attack random fans" type, but if we prepare now, it will be easier to take once the inevitable happens.
A truly sickening read below when you consider the relative state of our club in comparison now.... It's genuinely frustrating to see them doing so well when only a few season ago they were languishing in League 1 and staring at the abyss.
Whether it happens or not is another thing entirely of course and it remains to be seen on whether this venture eventually implodes or not, but for their fans at the moment to hear the plans for the club, their aims, ground redevelopment etc. it really does grate on me. Particularly when you consider our own owner's business; not personal; wealth was generated by the construction industry.
I'm mindful that may have been different had we stayed up last season and continued with the greed league money to potentially look at stadium or area regeneration plans, but given the pattern of communication and interest; or lack thereof; from our owner to date, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Considering it's nearly 300 pages long I'm sure a lot don't want them getting into Europe
Villa are our proper rivals. Wolves mean about as much to me as Ipswich do. They can win 20 Champions Leagues in a row for all I care. They will only become important to me if we are challenging them.
Lots of Albion fans seem to have an opinion (some might say get annoyed) that some villa fans discount our rivalry yet we have some Albion fans discounting wolves as a ‘proper’ rivalry and it’s nonsense. They are both real rivals.
People often say historically it’s villa, but even that’s can be argued.
80s, 90’s, 00’s - wolves were more relative to us without doubt and that rivalry intensified
60’s 70’s - seems the general consensus is it was villa
Pre 60s it doesn’t seem football rivalry was quite the same, I could be wrong.
Last 10 - shared a division more closely with villa
So historically it seems pretty even. History isn’t just about first, it’s all history.
If you read the history books there was trouble between Albion fans and Villa in the 1880's throwing stuff at stage coaches going to games.

Wolves fans are obsessed with Albion. I hate them, but the obsession they have with us is on another level to anything I've seen in other rivalries...................Now we've even got one posting on our own forum about how much we should care about them
Holy rubbish the irony...taking the urine about me posting on a wba forum when I’m posting on your own forum at a thread dedicated to Wolves!!!Just a little insignificent club to me, the vile are a million miles ahead of you, try going on the oatcake, they're your derby.
Seriously though...you’re rivalry with villa will be bigger at the moment because you’re in direct competition with them for promotion, just as it seemed our rivalry with them had gone through the roof last season because again we were in direct competition with them, in reality they were just a bunch of bad losing billy big boots, apparently they won the European cup a hundred years ago or something.I genuinely hope you sneak promotion, I really do, the BCD is a fantastic game, I savour every minute, apart from the ones when I’m normally dying inside having watched you beat us again lol, come back up, the games wth Leicester just aren’t the same

There are a lot of Albion who see Villa as our biggest rivals. There is no doubt however that collectively 'our' derby is the BCD and theirs is the 2nd City derby vs Blues.

I genuinely hope you sneak promotion, I really do, the BCD is a fantastic game, I savour every minute, apart from the ones when I’m normally dying inside having watched you beat us again lol, come back up, the games wth Leicester just aren’t the same
I'm not speaking for you mate. I'm speaking generally, I'm speaking about perception from outside our fans. I'm talking about Villa Park rarely selling out against us. I'm talking about Vile fans being bothered they lost, but not that they lost to us. We're barely mentioned in any of the pooh posts on VT it's all about their manager etc. This defeat hasn't bothered them anymore than losing to Brentford in midweek did.

I have to admit that watching any of the Tolkein films does make me think of dingles every time I see an Orc appear on screen.
Whereas Attenborough and his artic / antactic / blue planet ..... How I love to see an Orca tossing a seal about !
Shocked to see that wonderful Wolves team having the double done to them by the worst team in the Premier league for sone time, well at least since Wolves were last relegated 😂
They just don't like playing teams in blue and white stripes, do they ;D
Their owners' invested in the club to get them into the Premiership.I still don't understand FFP. can someone explain how you can lose £50m and then spend £109 m and stay within the rules.
They lost £1m a week during 2017-18.

It's probably worth a bet that is to be honest! Sods law, you know it'd probably happen. We'll never hear the end of it! It'd be a cack season if we had no proper rivals to play!
In the past few years we've finished in the top half of the Premiership twice and reached an FA Cup semi-final.Didn't need a super agent or an investment group to achieve those things.
Move along please, nothing to see here.

I'm pretty confident in the comming 'few years' we will surpass your achievements in the top flight, and pretty sure we won't spend as much time in a scrappy dog fight to stay in the league topped off with the big R at the end.
Just my honest humble opinion for what it's worth. ;)

What? Just wait for your agent owner and his mates look to flog your top players to make some money.
A few pointers for you as it appears you are in desperate need of them,
1. Take nothing for granted
2. Nothing is forever
3. Things can change in the blink of an eye
4. What goes around comes around for us all
5. There is a fine line between success and failure
6. Success and failure are imposters, the only power they have is what you give them
7. Failure is good for success and you are the living proof
Enjoy the ride while it lasts, for you never know what’s around the corner, Carpe Diem!
Just my honest humble opinion for what it's worth. ;)
Well done Sir you have well and truly hit the nail on the head ;D
I still have nightmares watching you lot in the southbank boing boing in my seat, if just one of the thousands boing in the southbank that day reads my post then i can now go to bed at night happy :)
Keep your chin up guys I am sure you'll bounce back up one day, then we can enjoy the BCD once again... in the meantime lets hope we draw each other in one of the domestic competitions.
Peace out :-*
The difference between us, is that I understand and respect that, I also know who we are, I have no pretentious of grandeur about us. Anything we achieve I am grateful for. And if you can find one post from me on any Wolves forum that I have joined and tried Lording it over you or others, then I’ll pay off your mortgage, if you have one, the reason? I have no real interest in Wolves other than when we play them or any of the other 90 clubs for that matter, but there is one exception to that and I save all my dislike for them and it’s no Wolves, it a bigger club.
Oh and sorry, I wasn’t there that day, 1-5 was it, but I did donate a multitude of Tesco’s finest for the occasion ;)
And, reportedly, Chelsea are circling “Holy Ghostâ€, you may well need divine intervention with that one. ;D
Just my honest humble opinion for what it’s worth :D
breath of fresh air in the premier league this lot. To think 3 years ago they were a million miles behind us, roles reveresed.
its the seals i hate
they have had a great 1st season never in any doubt they would come down, but 2nd season can see them being like Burnley , Watford to beat them Sunday for me .
Am I right in thinking that at one stage Fosun did look at buying us, but we were considered too expensive? I can only think of what might have been had that transaction occurred. Over the years Wolves tended to have had higher lows than we have (and ours have been bad enough), but they also seem to have had higher highs. Wish them well for the FA cup.
Hope you’re right buddy. They certainly rode their luck tonight.

did you think so? From the parts I saw of the game (granted I missed about 10 mins either side of half time) they looked like they did more than enough to grab at least a point. They also hit the bar and the united defenders must have tried to put it past De Gea 2/3 times.
For what its worth, I hate the Wolves, but have a sneaky feeling they might beat Watford the weekend. I hope they lose as I cannot stand to hear them harping on about a cup final for the next few weeks.

£30 million.
A different upper management to our lot.
Different everything full stop. From tea lady to chairman.
They have all bought into the vision.
We don't even have a maanger never mind a friggin vision.
We have the under 7’s coach in charge, for me as a kid growing up in the 90’s were literally back at that stage again. Wolves were always the rival that spent loads to try and get to the premier league and we were just scrapping around the bottom of the table spending nothing. Always seemed to find s result against them though. In fact I’d say the gap is a lot more then it was in the 90’s
The gap is 17 places, nowhere near how big it was in our favour only 3 years ago. They've slightly exceeded expectations, but let's see where they end up next season, with possibly Thursday/Sunday to contend with and fighting to hang onto their manager and their Agent's more valuable commodities.
They also need a plan B as they will be found out if they continue to soak up pressure and hit on the break against the better sides. They can't break the lesser teams down with any regularity.
Console yourself with those thoughts Jacko, meanwhile they are showing us how to resurrect a club and play football.

Your kidding yourself if you think the gap is anything like it was between us and them 3 years ago mate. Their in the semi final of the cup and on the edge of qualifying for Europe. If they achieve those 2 objects then their a million miles in front of us
What did we actually do in the premier league apart from survive?
Delivered the occasional snotty nose to the top 6, that apart ????
Was in David LLoyds gym in Brierley Hill today , and in the changing room there was a dingle fan in his buttercup yellow shirt who couldn't find his locker. Problem is if you buy a combination lock from Lloyds they all look identical and so most people make a mark on them so that they can be easily identified. He did not seem to have a clue which part of the changing room he had left his gear in. I spent a good half hour getting showered , dressed and chatting to my mate and left the Dingle still going from locker to locker and trying his combination. Made my day.
This is hilarious.. Almost as hilarious that the fact the only pleasure you get between this great football rivalry between Wolves and the albion during current times is being in a mens shower room spying on someone.
Each to their own my pal
What great rivalry? Most Albion fans see Villa as the proper rivals and really don't give a fig about Wolves. There's 100% Wolves fans and about 30% Albion fans give a toss about this so called rivalry. It's predominantly one sided.

Can't believe you wrote that. Yow a a black country mon am yeah ?
What do you want me to say?
Anything else. Because the entire premise of you post applies about 3 fold for us. Villa don't care about us. If I had to put a number on how many do it would be far less than your imaginary 30%.
I think there's a parallel between the midlands rivalries and international rivalries. Albion hate Villa who hate Blues who also hate Villa, England hate Germany who hate the Dutch who also hate Germany. Wolves are the equivalent of Djibouti in this relationship.
I don't care what Villa think, not my problem. Traditionally Albion hate Villa, they can think whatever they like.
You can have your opinion, I'll have mine and mine is that more Albion fans despise Witton than Wolves. Tiny sample admittedly but the last poll we had on here confirmed as much and I guarantee you if you create the same pol on wbaunofficial you'll get an even clearer indication.
Christ I hope that Albion/Villa rivalry isn’t the future.
I grew up on Albion/Wolves and the atmosphere both home and away was fanstastic and absolutely horrible at the same time, you definitely knew about it when you were going to Molineux.
Villa away this season was great as we won but in terms of a derby day feel it didn’t really do it for me. Stoke away the week before was so much better in terms of atmosphere and rowdiness.
Villa just seem to focus on Birmingham as you can see by the attendances when they play them compared to when they play us over the years.
Cant beat a BCD though; the whole feeling from about 4 days before is just totally different to any other.
If ever a fanbase deserved to get dumped out of a Semi Final in that fashion it's that bunch of inbreds. Massive fight on their hands to stay in a European spot now, if they fail to finish 7th they've done nothing we didn't manage to do with a far lower budget.
Cant see past Everton and Fritzls mate for 7th. Expect both Leicester and Watford to finish above them too.
Viva NES.

Shame really, dings against City would have been a great final for the football purists, they've been a breath of fresh air in the Prem with the style of football they play, hope they go on to get Europe, some of their players would grace the competition & I don't think their fans views & expectations are that different from ourselves, just they got lucky with their owners, fair play to them I say, those scummy vile b**tards from witton on the other hand >:(

Im still here buddy :)
That's a very hard loss to take if im honest and im still crying on the inside and outside :'( :'(
Still plenty of ups and downs to come our way... likewise with yourselves only differences being you will have plenty more downs albeit lesser ones as truth be told you wont really be playing for anything significant other than the odd potential promotion or survival games, where as our downs will be more at stake but less of them as we wont be challenging for silverware every attempt.
Peace out folks :) :)
And the arrogance is still there.
Word of advice - Don't big yourself up so much and the down won't be so far to drop. You lot were planning for the final as soon as the semi draw was made, wooooppppsss!!!!
I have always laughed when someone scores a goal and does a ridiculous celebration which then looks even worse when they go on to lose the game. Jiminez mask thing has to be the funniest ever, what a **** he looks now when you see it.
I cannot believe the attitude towards the Wolves. I am not a supporter, but I do applaud what they have done in both Cup and League. I can claim to have seen the Albion a lot further back than most present day followers- 1948-9. They were always rivals and they prevented us from doing the double in 1954. There was very little agro in those days. Now the snidey attitude seems to be the norm. It is running through all sports and I hate it. Just enjoy the game. I nowadays think that lots of players always seem to have a snarl on their faces. I also watch rugby and the attitude is tottally different especially the respect shown to referees.

Its pretty easy to believe tbh.[/b]
Their fans are clueless, arrogant tw*ts who are living in cuckoo land because they have had a decent couple of seasons (yes decent, not exceptional - they haven't achieved anymore than we have when you look at the bigger picture despite spending about £100 million more than us).
They need to realise 99% of their team have no loyalties to the club and neither has nuno, soon as big clubs come sniffing around nuno and their better players they will be screwed.
It's only a matter of time ;D
Hello there,
Not me my friend, i watched us get spanked 0-3 to Watford not too long ago (probably the most one sided performance against us all season bar man city away), in fact i was planning a semi exit based on that game alone, of course i cannot speak for all Wolves fans.
As for the league id like to put in on record and say i want to finish 7th and hopefully City beat Watford allowing us into europe, do i think that will happen? id say 50/50 maybe less, will i be gutted if we fail to make 7th and europe? slightly yes.
What i do know is that if we fail miserably from now on in the league and finish below Watford, Leicester and Everton, come the summer all hope will be renewed and i can look forward to a great summer of transfer speculation along will signing some real talent and probably breaking our transfer record again. :) :) :) :)
Laters.

They're starting to slag off Nuno too now !Starting?
Hopefully the bubble bursting and reality kicking in for the deluded fools.
2 games away from qualification stage for Europa league as things stand

City 1-0 up
Jealous of them having European football
City 1-0 up
Jealous of them having European football
I'm jealous of any club that has European football just for the occasions that come with it. Got to admire them for showing ambition. I remember us having a chance of Euro football, getting to 40 points then didn't bother for the next nine or ten games.
They (Wolves) don't have a big squad though, the Europa League will put a huge strain on them next season.
I hate these fkers with a passion.
Credit where it's due they have owners that have developed and executed a plan for their football club, They put a manager in place that had vision of how to play the game and knew the type of player he wanted.
We can only watch in envy with our current incumbent.

The important part is Mendes, he who has no say on the transfers, but just happens to have a load of players and the manager on his books.
There is no way Wolves would have made some of those signings, even if they had the money, if not for Mendes pushing it from his side.
It properly stinks.
The important part is Mendes, he who has no say on the transfers, but just happens to have a load of players and the manager on his books.I mentioned this to one of their fans a couple of years ago, but he wouldn’t have it. I also pointed out to Yanited fans that Fergie would be gone one day, and they wouldn’t have it. However, they at least got a quarter of a century of enjoyment and memories from it. Nobody knows how long good days are going to last. The wulfies are having good days now, and they’re enjoying it. They dropped on lucky there.

Just reading Dingle Dix (hi guys :-* ), seems they keep an eye on this thread and find it amusing that its got 290 pages and over 7000 replies but missed the point its been going since 2011 when we started dumping all the S***e in one place just like we do with other local clubs yet their Albion Obsessed one has been going since last October and has over 2200 so a third in 8 months and yet we're the obsessed ones.
They have some nice words for a few of our members :D
Oh and make sure when anyone is posting in this thread that you put your apostrophes in the correct pace as the grammar Police on there don't like it !!!
I'm brilliant... as if I didn't already know ;D

Grit your teeth Albion fans - the Dingles have beaten Man City on penalties to lift the Asian Trophy. I guess it is a good thing that many of our fans have gone on holiday today and will escape the usual ribbing from Dingles colleaguesthe what? how useless a trophy is that?! that won't move the Sherpa Van trophy off of pride of place on their mantle piece that's for sure.

Struggled against the Rose and Crown from Belfast
Taken 47 fans tonight to Armenia.
Absolutely embarrasing. Short notice bla bla bla that is pathetic.
To be fair, it wasn't like there was a direct flight from Birmingham. They would have had to change once or twice, it would have cost about a grand, and all at a weeks notice. 47 is a decent number given the circumstances.
Besides, criticising their following in the Europa League feels a bit redundant, given that at least their club got there in the first place. Plenty of other things to mock the Dingles about anyway.
Staffordshire club. Seriously who gives a flying **** what they do? I don't even follow their scores.
Villa are our rivals. This lot, meh!
Staffordshire club. Seriously who gives a flying **** what they do? I don't even follow their scores.Well I give more than a flying ****, I went to both games at Villa Park last season, like a library compared to when we go to the Mol . Maybe we wont be too long renewing old rivalry.

I’m a 90’s kid so wolves will always be my main rival , villa aren’t a patch on them for me . All though it has got a lot more intense over the past few years for me .
Vila park away or the custard bowl , there really isn’t any comparison. When u go to the custard bowl the atmosphere is something else , you can feel the hate in the air. Villa park away you wouldn’t even know it’s a local derby. I’ve been to better atmospheres in non local derby games.
I understand that there’s a young generation that have never seen us even play wolves . Lad at work is 18 and he can’t even remember a wolves game . So I get that us not playing each other for so long doesn’t help .
But wolves all day for me the villa rivalry doesn’t come even close.
As much as I hate them if there’s anytime that they can’t be knocked then nows the time they are light years in front of us now , as much as it pains me to say it

Agree, Villa at ours in the play-offs this season was a joke by their away fans. Literally didn't sing until they won it on penaltys whilst we sung all night. At least the Wolves do get vocal and their fans seem less arrogant...ironic based on the Holte End 12th man and all that nonsense.
Thought Torino might atleast cause them some problems at home, but Wolves are swatting them aside. May have to accept that with their squad make up and all of their quality, they will be one of the favourites to win the Europa League this year.
Only their smallish squad and a possible tilt at a top 4 place might derail them.
Hahahaha, brilliant mate. Seriously good. ;D
You predicted they would get relegated last year Jacko....they made Europe and were minutes away from an FA cup final 😉.
Bookmakers currently rank them 8th favourites, so not that ridiculous a statement.
2 English clubs in the final last year, a semi finalist in 2018, English winner 2017, English runner up 2016. We have also started to dominate in the Champions League again in the last 2 years, suggesting we are currently back in a bit of an English domination period again like the mid to late "noughties".
The last time we dominated Europe back in the mid to late 2000's, both Middlesbrough and Fulham reached the UEFA cup final, while both Bolton and Villa only went out in the knockout rounds due to fielding severley weakened teams.
Most neutral observers will look at Wolves and say they are one of the names in the hat who could win this competition. They have just gave Torino, the 7th best team in Europe's third best league (co efficient rating) a hiding in Turin. Wolves will most likely get through the home leg and into the group stages with sides who don't have their resources. I expect them to make the knockout phase, and then it is anyone's guess.
Can only assume you didn't watch the actual game, Torino dominated it and it would be no surprise to see them win 2 nil at the Custard Bowl.
Nowhere near top 6 quality, especially with the smallish squad. Though I can see them going fairly far in the Europa League, maybe quarter finals if they take it seriously.

Is #Nunoout trending just yet?
Its coming. Lose this weekend against Palace (we know Roy likes a result against them ;D) and they'll be sharpening their knives for Watford at home.https://twitter.com/HRH_YT/status/1174784800600838148 first of many no doubt
Its not surprising. Best manager they've had in donkeys and they are going to hound him out at the first attempt. They probably want Mourinho.
Without doubt the most fickle fans in the world.

Id snap your hands off to be in their position... following their club in Europe..
I haven't seen any Nuno bashing - but no doubts its a testing time.
They will be fine this season
Don't stick up for the Dingles, they have a decent side yes, but let's enjoy their misfortunes while we can. They have no love for us however good we are.
We beat Braga home and away. Mind you it was 41 years ago.
Fosun are just just releasing some equity to get their return back for what they paid plus some. I'm sure they're in for the long haul. As much as we hate it there is a lot of opportunities to grow that club and see further value.
If you are so rich why would you need to release any equity, the Abramavich's does not and he is not even allowed in the country and still doesn't seek to release any equity.
It may be wishful thinking but their transfer dealings of late and the rest which I have mentioned may be see the house of Cards tumbling.

They might be winning in Europe, but they will have to be careful about the Premier league. They still have to remain there to carry on.
Thy will stay up no problem, who cares about the premierleague anyway when going to Istanbul and winning giving a chance to progress to europa league knockout.
It’s horrible watching these live the dream after we spent 8 years there and achieved pretty much nothing.

Bl**dy pains me to see them win last minute last night. I’m definitely bitter, and would love to have a shot at europe, a top 7 finish or a trip to Wembley in the cup. We’ve achieved none of those recently and it kinda puts it into perspective. We finished 8th, we’ve done naff all in the cup although we are playing nice football at the moment: Sadly, for the time being, I feel like they rightly have the upper hand in the West Midlands.

We did play at Wembley in the cup 😀Not recently though, which is my point
We blew it lets face it. Blew it due to having an owner who wasn't able to invest who sold to an owner of the same ilk.must admit I’d completely forgotten Wigan had won a cup...
The main regret during that time is that we take the cups seriously. If you look at teams like Wigan and Blues who won a cup they can say that they had that special moment but got relegated. We never had one and still got relegated.
must admit I’d completely forgotten Wigan had won a cup...
Bet their fans haven't though. And never will.
We still harp on about '68. 51 years ago.
Bet their fans haven't though. And never will.we do? very very rarely do I hear it directly referenced, or mentioned at all. Then again the people I talk to are in a fairly young demographic, where the relationship isn’t there as it was too long ago.
We still harp on about '68. 51 years ago.
Exactly, speak to any Blues fan, Wigan fan or Swansea fan and there is no way they would swap their cup win and European tour the following season to be in the Premierleague.
They have that one day that being a football fan is all about, it is one thing that really made me think what is the point of us actually existing when we would put weakened team out in the cup when we were about 9th in the league.
Football is about success and hoping to finish above 18th in a league is not success, it is existing and not competing.
Strong links of Nuno to Arsenal!!!! You love to see it!!Classic!
They are miles ahead of us.
We won't finish above them as long as they have current owners
They are miles ahead of us.Who is to say what will happen if Nuno leaves...........Feck em anyway
We won't finish above them as long as they have current owners
four years ago we were miles infront, now they are a million miles in front. cant see us competing with them for yearsBut you’ve answered your own question?
four years ago we were miles infront, now they are a million miles in front. cant see us competing with them for yearsIn football, fortunes can change in the blink of an eye. ;)

Nuno had a dream...a dream to manage the Arsenal ;D
They're panicking like f**k on Birds Custard Mix. Great to read. Reassuring each other. Brilliant stuff.
Popped over to the Mix for the first time in ages last night. They should definitely rename the Albion thread after you, that or just give you a thread of your own. Not sure if that'd be a badge of (dis) honour or a reason to break out the carbolic and pop into a decontamination shower but there you go .
The irony of the word obsessed being in the thread title was not lost on me mate.
(Had to delete your emoji to post this on Chrome)
'Get Ancelotti or Zidane if Nuno goes'
F me. This lot are getting more like the villa. Wonder what Terry Conor is upto these days?
Nuno wont be leaving Wolves, first of all Arsenal don't want him and even if they did I think he would be better holding out for a bigger job with a team competing for major honours.
The job he has done is phenomenal, Traore being one example, he is surely the most improved player in the league.
I am interested to hear about Fosun stepping back their investment and looking to sell 20%, maybe it is the start of them selling off the club for a huge profit, I am sure that 20% will recoup their entire investment. Or maybe it is a way around FFP.
If we go up this season I think it's going to be a fun few years for midlands football.
Up to fifth 😞 if we can get promoted and not get beaten by them next season that’ll be good in my books ;D
they are a good side, no doubt about that. but them lot think they are more special than they are. the bottom 10 teams in the prem is very poor this season and was last year. Watford have won one game in 15 games yet 2 wins from safety.But when Nuno goes to Arsenal ....who are looking like they need to get him quickly, and 2/3 of the players follow him, thick mick will oversea their downfall
if we got promoted and got a good striker the rest of the team is more than good enough to compete in that league. we wouldnt finish above them, but i wouldnt be scared about playing them in the slightest.
I said at the start of the season that there was a danger of them going far in the Europe’s league or challenging for Champions league. Well, as we approach Christmas, they are currently competing well on both fronts. They get very tetchy when you mention the possible unethical (no dingles - not necessarily illegal - but unethical) Mendez link up, but it is getting them the results. Got to hope Nunez, who is a fine manager, attracts the attention of a top side soon (Atletico Madrid maybe?).
Competing on both fronts will hopefully scupper them eventually but this is a great year to go for it, with United, Arsenal and Spurs all in disarray.
Here we go again then........ Wolves on a roll it is .
Can't even smiley reply to this... 403
Birds Custard Mix in match thread is fun, one soft c*** asked if Klopp was watching (why would he?). Then someone posted seconds before the Spurs winner "94th minute goal anyone" 😂
You love to see it.
brilliant.
they really have not got a clue saying that if the team we have was in the championship the year they won it we would be mid table and its the weakest championship in years haha.
what about the premier league? ive thought all season its the weakest bottom 6-7 in years. Watford have won ONE game all season nearly half way through and are only 6 points adrift of safety. Even the Dingles have won 5 games in 17 and they are pulling their pri*ks again.
they are the most deluded set of fans i have ever seen.
Took me by surprise to see we've played more top flight games than the Vile over the stated time frame. Here's to us swapping places at the end of this season so we have a head start going into the next decade.
COYB and SOTV 8) .
Thought Torino might atleast cause them some problems at home, but Wolves are swatting them aside. May have to accept that with their squad make up and all of their quality, they will be one of the favourites to win the Europa League this year.
Only their smallish squad and a possible tilt at a top 4 place might derail them.
Hahahaha, brilliant mate. Seriously good. ;D
2 points off 4th place and favourites to reach the last 16 of the Europa league at the turn of the year.
You were saying?
As I said at the start of the season, our best hope is that they burn out while fighting on too many fronts as I can't see them sacrificing the Europa League.
I predicted they would make Europa League semi finals back in April prior to them actually qualifying so my guess is that they will fall short in the prem.
B*stard dingles
It's December. Don't get the party poppers out yet.
Looking forward to them getting a good hiding on Sunday.
Come from behind to beat the current league champions, I would say that is pretty impressive to be honest.
Lets face it, we can only dream of being in their position at the moment. Fair play to them, and thanks again Jeremy.....
It's about time a big team came in for Nuno Espirito Santo...
Beat the Premier League champions and still talking about yours truly, you love to see it.
They had 10 men for 80 minutes.
Lost to a knackered virtually unchanged Liverpool side who've been around the world and are running on empty, two correct but hilarious VAR decisions!! Phil, you love to see it.
It’s a real pity you don’t apply the same measure, on a relative and contextually scale, to others, as one would love to see it
What's a contextually scale? I'm 14 stone if that helps?
Lost to a knackered virtually unchanged Liverpool side who've been around the world and are running on empty, two correct but hilarious VAR decisions!! Phil, you love to see it.Liverpool side who have been on holiday, showed a lack of respect for a competition.
I seem to recall you asked for context when we discussed the merits of Ronaldo and Sala awhile back, go check, and it wasn’t about their weight :)
Ps Sala will never approach Ronaldo’s achievements
as much as I hate them, they do have a cracking football team
They are not that great. They've only won one league game more than Villa this season. 8 wins from 26 games is hardly the Barcelona of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta etc.
They are however, extremely organised and difficult to beat.
I hate wolves mate , our proper derby to me , villa doesn’t even come close. Even I can’t rain on their parade , theve done a superb job over the past two seasons. Theve done more in this season and half then we did the whole time we were in the premier league . Their showing ambition something our owners never showed while being in the league . Our ambition was employing tony pulis who went onto destroy the club .
What we didn't have was a massive pile of money and dodgy fingers in sport's agent's pies.
TBF they have a net spend of around £150m over 3 seasons. I would expect to be where they are at the very least.

Pulis spent over 40 million in one summer mate , so 150 million over 3 seasons isn’t that bad
Plus we finished as high as eighth in the Premier League and pretty much gave up after we hit 40 points.
The show great ambition, Wolves, always have compared to us but they have a reputation at the moment that is higher than their merits deserve.
Believe our NET spend over the 8 years in the PL was around £50-60m. So they've doubled our net spend in less than half the time.
Their net spend will be minimal when they sell one of Neves or Jimminez.
Fair play to them.
They seem to get criticised for relying on Mendes but its worked.
Those who normally fire shots are doing so out of jealousy (not a pop at you).
I wish we had been just as inventive with our recruitment rather than signing the bag fulls of average dross
Have to agree with Atomic, they don't win enough games, but are well organised and hard to beat. A Portuguese Stoke City circa 2012.
Well I think it's safe to say they are in quarters

Got to disagree mate. Villa is by far and away our proper derby. Back ine 70’s and early 80’s Wolves was just another game it was always Villa. But don’t get me wrong I can’t stand them but you have accept that they are doing really well considering the size of squad and amount of games they have played. Like others have said we stalled and achieved nothing in 9 years we were in the prem
I keep reading about this 10,000 waiting list for season tickets, those of you living in the Black Country, are there more of them about now? I always thought our support was fairly similar.
Yeah we absolutely stalled in the Premier League, can’t disagree with that. But we never had to cheat financially or lose the identity of our club like the Dingles during that time. Besides, their fans turn faster than milk on a hot day.
No way have Wolves lost their identity!! Look at every single player in that team and they are totally committed and give 100%

Think it’s all personal opinion mate , I started going up the Albion in 93 ,i was brought up in Darlaston , at that time playing villa was something that would never happen in a million years . So it’s always going to be wolves for me
The atmosphere at Albion wolves games compared to Albion villa games is incomparable. Albion wolves games are levels above villa games . Home and away
I think anyone on here trying to play down how well the dingles are doing look abit silly really . It’s the type of comments I’d expect off them lot on their boards if we were doing as well as they are . Sometimes you just hold your hands up and say yeah there a good side and doing well . Let’s just hope it doesn’t last ;D
I am not jealous of them at all. What have they won? No more than us, what have they achieved? No more than us. OK European football, but it's the lower level European football that we, as a business, decided it was in our best interests not to target.
26 league games and 18 of them without a win, that's the bread and butter, that's what you judge on.
Jealous of that? No. Seriously, no.
They have played European football - I dream of seeing the Albion do that. And that's all it will remain - a dream. we "decided it was in our best interests not to target". That shows our lack of ambition right there, and it's pathetic. Let's just take the Premier League money every season. Forget cups, forget winning, forget European nights at the Hawthorns. 40 points and that's it.
Too many small-minded fans means we'll always be 'little old Albion'.
If it was up to some of our fans, Starbucks would have never left Seattle.

What a team they have. I can see them facing Inter Milan in the final.
disagree. what a team they have? they beat bottom of the spanish league's reserves. they made 9 changes last night.
Albion and Ambition don't go together, remember Ipswich away in 2010 Carling Cup QF where we made 9 changes and blew a great chance to get to a final. European football would have scared the life out of the board.
Fair play to Wolves who having a go.

If we had that team, were fighting for a European place and were in the latter stages of the Europe league then I believe no one would disagree with me saying what a team.
Traore, Jimenez, Moutinho & Patricio to name 4 are outstanding.
I still don't like them but I am not going to be blind to how good they are.
Maybe we could learn something from them and show the same ambition when we next play in the Prem.
4 players you mentioned are very good premier league players but i wouldnt say outstanding at all.
take Jimenez for example, you are telling me 11 premier league goals in 26 is outstanding? come on mate. its good but not outstanding.
credit where credit is due, they have a good side and are doing well and yes i would swap their team for ours but a lot of them think they are champions league and have world class players and Nuno is here for a 10 year project. load of ****.
I think he's a fantastic player, if you see him it's not just the goals, he's vital for the way they play on the counter and creates a lot too.
Anyway, for those on here saying "we've always lacked ambition". What exactly does that mean? The fanbase, the owner, the ground?!
It means we haven't hit the jackpot and got a sugar daddy in. Otherwise we're just a typical football club like the rest of them. I remember when Fulham went into the Europa league with Al-Fayed who funded them at one time. Does that mean they're an 'ambitious' club, or does it simply mean they had an absurdly wealthy owner at that time?
What a team they have. I can see them facing Inter Milan in the final.And losing 2-0
And losing 2-0
Valero
Lukaku
Feels like a massive footballing **** seeing this lot win at Spurs without having to break too much sweat. They're having the time of their lives, comfortably top half this season, probably going to make at least the semis of the Europa and so much quality in all areas. They just got lucky with a rich takeover and good investment, why oh why did it have to be them, ANY other club bar villa of course and i could accept it :'(
Playing well good luck I say, its their time now,our time will come.Good luck my backside and my backside too

So the dog heads were on the BBC so I thought I would take a look to see how far behind them we truly are. Yes they have some very good individuals but I didn't see anything that should worry us. They are very defensive and their play is quite predictable. I think they are an average team at best and I certainly don't fear playing them next season. With the right players signed I think we could give them a shock. I feel there position is a little fortunate and we are not as far behind as some on here would have us believe.
We will win our last two games and I look forward to taking at least 3 points off them next season.

I cannot believe members are so stupidly critical of the Wolves.If we played them at the moment we would be beaten hands down. Some of you must be writing with"tongue in cheek" because I envy what Wolves are doing and could not criticise anything about their play.
Predictable hoof-ball counter 🥱 I can’t believe teams get sucked into it time and time again. The Dingles are shown far too much respect by opposition teams when they shouldn’t be. Sheffield United got it right by stopping them getting the ball onto the wings. It nullified the Dingles.
I don't envy the way they've abused the agent\ownership rules.
Why? Football ceased to be Even considered equal footing with the financial not so fair play laws. You have to play the margins and the margins they’ve played.
That's proven by Man City allegedly having done no wrong, but still happy at getting away with a £9m fine for having done nothing, and nothing was proven.
Oh and they can play in the Champions League now
The fine is for not complying/engaging with UEFAs investigations. Not for any breach of the actual rules.
Your obviously in the wrong profession my friend.
It's that easy is it?
If you watched the game last night I doubt if anyone could have stopped Traore, he ran straight through the middle, before releasing the ball, no where near the wings.

Jiminez on his way out according to the press today. Manchester United likely destination.
Being linked with Juve for £70m apparantly. Huge fee.
The link to Man U was strange
Juve seems a better fit
Does this mean Coutinho to wolves....I’ve heard it muted (and player not keen) but if non of the top 4 fancy him.....that would be seismic for our 6 fingered friends .
The link to Man U was strangeNot really. Man United seem to be linked to upwards of 5 players anytime you open a newspaper. I'm more surprised when they are not linked with any good player on the move. Luckily, even they aren't allowed to field more than 11 players at any one time.
Juve seems a better fit

No, a lad called Paulinho.This wouldn’t be a deal brokered by Jorge Mendes perchance with the slight possibility of making a bob or two on the side? Perish the thought...... ;)

I thought it had to be part of body you can score with I.e not arm , hand etc if it was his arm that’s just stupid !
So now they had a player down injured for lengthy treatment, and he didn't have to go off the field at the end of it - he just immediately took the free kick! These officials are bent.Another example of how bad football is on head clashes and possible concussion. Moutinho should have had an enforced head impact assessment by an independent doctor.
Lucky, lucky Dingles.
Why are you all watching those W@@kersTo be honest, it makes a change from watching the usual suspects in Europe, Man U, Man City, Liverpool etc. etc.
Fair play to them, showed some serious balls tonight... we couldn't even beat QPR when it mattered.
Over two legs pretty much a perfect European performance against a side that knocked Arsenal out in the previous round.
I’m delighted the fans can’t be there to witness their European antics ;D
I sincerely hope tonight is the end of the Dingles European adventure.
This may go against the grain with some, but I honestly like and rate Nuno.
I think he rises above some fans petty rivalry, on both sides, and respects his opponent, it might be a trait of not being from these shores
It’s jarring to keep hearing “Wolves are preparing for their first European quarter final in 40 years†on the radio for the last few days.Saved you good self a tenner.😂
Back in March 2019, when Wolves were in the FA Cup semi finals and in the battle for 7th, I told anyone who would listen that they would not only qualify for the Europa league, but would reach the later stages of the competition (ie Semi finals or better) and mount a serious challenge.
With them 90 minutes from a European semi final, I stand by that prediction. Their game and players are perfectly suited to this style of football, so I’m ready in myself for a whole lot of gloating from their lot over the next few weeks.
Tough challenge of course - Sevilla have been great in 2020, Man Utd look tired but are better they were while Inter look like they could push Juventus in Serie A next season, but if I could get to a bookies without using one of those stupid apps, I’d put a tenner in the Wolves.
£180m net spend in 3 years. That is shocking.
I would expect more than that for that much money.
If you're not laughing at them tonight you look a right idiot.
Fixed that for you Dave.
I forgot we made it through the Europa League quarter finals this season.
If you're laughing at them tonight you look a right idiot.
Ah the taking part awards...
Give over mate. The way they approached that game with the money they've spent was hilarious.
"Weeeeve got Kanu, Robson-Kanu"
We're in no position to gloat.
If you're laughing at them tonight you look a right idiot.You are spot on mate. We can only dream. I would give my right arm to be where they've been.
Thank god for that. I remember Lucas Ocampos getting his big money move to Monaco 8 years ago. Their director of football at the time was a bloke called Tor Kristian Karlson who was (and still is) quite big into twitter and media, writing for ESPN etc. He called Ocampos the most exciting player he had seen for quite a few years before signing him, so I’d occasionally checked in on his progress ever since. He flopped at Monaco and ended up bouncing around a few big named clubs in a Europe, but the last few years he is showing what he is made of. Likely to be in the Argentine World Cup squad in Qatar.
As for the Dingles, still not a bad two years, but I’m glad they have fell short again. Not much time for their players to have off either, which I hope will end up hurting them next season. No European football to contend with though and in the current climate they could easily keep all of their players over the next two months, so 7th place next season is a very realistic aim. If they do end up in the lower quality UEFA Conference league in 2021-22 against the likes of Qarabag and Partizan Belgrade then we might yet still end up seeing Wolves lift a trophy in the not too distance future.
"Weeeeve got Kanu, Robson-Kanu"

This.
There fans have had an enjoyable time following their club across Europe - celebrating wins away in Europe. Memories to last a life time.
Most of us would give our right arm for that. Regardless of whether they lost last night or not..
A Thursday night in Europe is a damn sight more appealing than a Tuesday night in Barnsley.
Those deriding them for last night and taking the pee for exiting the competition are no doubt the same ones who refer to us beating Valencia in a competition we didn’t win either...
Fair play to the ********
Are English teams going to take the conference league seriously?Hope not. The more Micky Mouse trophies you invent, eventually every club will win something. It devalues winning the real trophies, as sadly, we're seeing with the FA Cup.
Numo bumping his gums about lack of transfer activity and Moody's have downgraded Fosun, citing weak liquidity as a decisive factor. Things are not rosey at the custard bowl.By the time we play them NONO will have departed along with at least 3 of their better players....the toothless fans will be holing with derision when HRK steps off the bench to make it 5 😀

I don't want to jump in too soon here but the signs are that Fosun have turned the tap off. This is going to be interesting if they have.
£35 million confirmed on 18 year old Silva from Porto
Portgual are one of the best football producing nations on the planet and they clearly think Silva is an exciting talent, but for Wolves to spend £35m on an 18 year old striker with 1 senior goal to his name (in a cup game no less), that feels like a huge gamble a club of their size shouldn't be taking.Problem is, it sends the message to Portuguese clubs that PL clubs are rolling in money.
It might work out, most of their signings do, but it's incredible money really.
Jorge Mendes has a fairly unique vested interest in wolves through the forsun connections. Where it hasn’t ended well with clubs he’s got in deep with in the past I think the situation with wolves is a lot closer and he’ll be more careful not to burn them.
He only seems to have helped move genuine talent in to wolves so far so at the moment there’s no reason to assume Silva is any different. It is a lot of money though.

They don't think anything. They've been told to pay that much by Mendes. This is just Wolves pulling a Bebe.
Thats how the guy works. He's probably the most corrupt man in football and his clubs will move money round like a merry go round so you'll horrifically overpay for some players and in return he'll sort you out with some players who would otherwise be out your reach. And soometimes that means selling a Mendes client for far less than market value, like they did with Doherty, so in return you'll get the odd bargain like Neves.
https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2020/09/10/revealed-9m-of-wolves-record-transfer-fee-going-to-agents/
In a statement to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission, Porto said they are paying Jorge Mendes’ Gestifute agency £6.4m as part of the transfer.
They also stated a further £2.75m will be paid to Soccer Talents Vision (STV) – the agency which represents Silva.
Porto, by the statement, stand to receive around £26m.
Wolves have close ties to Mendes and his Gestifute agency.
And according to Porto’s statement, a sizeable chunk of Wolves’ record transfer fee is said to be making its way to his organisation, even though he is not Silva’s agent.
Boss Nuno Espirito Santo is a client of Mendes.
How is that possible when Mendes isn’t even the players agent ??
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is close to agreeing a new deal with the club. The new contract will run until 2023 and contains a significant pay rise. (Source: Daily Mail)

Still wondering when Fosun are going to bleed the Wolves dry via this agent fella.
Why would they? Fosun and Mendes have found themselves a nice little money vehicle and without Wolves those cash streams would dry up.
Diogo Jota arrived at the ground today, then left within minutes. Nuno has been asked about it 4 times in the post match press conference, including the question “was he injured†but Nuno just keeps answering “not availableâ€.
Something’s happened
3-0...the wheels on the bus have come off !!!
Dreadful result for us. Bet West Ham don't chuck 3 in.

Agreed, but you still love to see a scoreline like that after all the money they have chucked at it and dodgy dealings
I knew Alan Irvine would come good :D
Lege... Legen... Legend? Is that you? ;D
Silva looked lost..too frail and no pace cant see how he has commanded that fee.
To be fair I still think they will finish in the top 10. Losing Jota and Doherty and replacing them with 2 unknowns(Semedo ? Silva) in the PL is a big gamble. Also noticed Nuno is trying to change their style of play. Why brake something that don't need fixing ???.

Semedo unknown? Wow. He's played over 80 times for Barca, played for Benfica and the Portuguese national team. He's quality.
On the plus side, he can't defend for toffee ;DI think I phrased it wrong, what I was trying to say is your replacing a solid RB in Doherty and replacing him with a player who has flopped at Barcelona and is untested in the PL.
I can see a time when he comes back :D
I can’t :D

The big thing for Wolves is they have lost a large amount of their goals and assists last season with the sale of Jota and Doherty.
A large turnover of players causes issues within the squad and finding a new way of playing. It will be very interesting to watch them this season yes they have signed players like Semedo but they arent adding to the squad they are merely replacing what been sold.
This could easily be a season where bad decisions works dramatically against them such are the find margins of this league.
Wolves legend Mike Bailey's battle with Alzheimer’s disease
He was a great player and servant to his club and It’s dreadful reading of anyones battle with Alzheimer’s
Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has had an operation overnight after suffering a fractured skull during the fixture with Arsenal yesterday evening, the club confirm
I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, he's a quality player for sure.

Sadly I imagine his career could well be over. The most important thing is that he makes a full recovery and lives a good life, get well soon.Shocking news I think we would all be in agreement wishing the lad a speedy recovery and getting back to full health.
Wolves fans never been anywhere as bad as villa fans.
Hopefully he makes a full recovery. Not something you want to see happen to any player.
You've clearly never been to the custard bowl with them throwing rocks at your head and throwing xxxx over you.
Let's not suddenly forget what these lot have done over the years.

Update on Raul Jimenez, who remains in hospital after fracturing his skull against Arsenal. Club doctor Matt Perry says Jimenez making "excellent progress" and should leave hospital early next week. A long road back, but this is positive news
Pleased to read a positive on Raul. Get well soon
In 2006 Petr Cech also suffered a fractured skull. After recovering, he continued his outstanding career playing at the highest level before retiring in 2019
True but he never reached the levels before, he was still very good dont get me wrong but not QUITE the same which is what Atomic is saying i think.
I'm not quite sure what you are basing and measuring him on with that statement, but he was in the Chelsea's Premier Leagues winning sides in 2004/05 and 2005/06, which was before his accident and the Chelsea's Premier League winning sides 2009/10 and 2014/15, but will stand corrected.
But I agree with Dan's assessment and we will have to wait and see.
Depends on the extent and severity of the fracture(s), whether or not he's incurred enduring brain trauma (this is not a given), his emotional resilience and the effects the initial blow has to his co ordination. A lot of this won't begin to fully unfold until he's well into rehabilitation and whether he requires counselling for PTSD or associated anxieties. Long way to go before any decisions are reached.

Their fan base is just an embarrassment,
They have to main problems as a fan base. One is they have this sense of entitlement and belief they are bigger and better than they are, like the Vile. Secondly, it’s all about Albion, they are obsessed with us. They could win numerous trophies, but will still have that nagging pain that maybe we are bigger and better than them.
Wolves have a considerable bigger catchemnet area than us. That's the real reason they get more fans than us. We do very well if you actually look at populations
No they dont that is a myth. There are something like 5 million people live within an hours journey of the Hawthorns. 1.1 million in the black country alone. 330,000 in Sandwell. Birmingham, Worcestershire other catchment areas. Absolute rubbish that Wolves have a bigger area. They have more "active fans" due to the ambition they show. When did we ever show ambition? Was I born?Villa and Blues encroach on a fair bit of that Birmingham zone. Wolves have no-one but us and Walsall, they definitely have a bigger catchment area.

Wolves looking to do a deal with Real Sociedad to sign Brazilian striker Willian Jose. Currently out of favour at Real however he does have a decent scoring record with double figures in La Liga near enough every season for the last 5 or so years. If it works out, they should be able to pull away from the relegation picture.
Happy D1ngle5 Day lads! 8)
Nine years has gone so quickly. For those who hate the Wolves you've got another anniversary to look forward to. We also beat them 1-5 on March 28th 1962. Congratulations all in advance of the Diamond anniversary 8) .Was there that night , happy days. The following season we played them on Boxing Day and the game was abandoned in a snowstorm with us losing 2-0.We went home happy.
The circus going on down the custard bowl this season hss definatley softened the blow of how abdjectly poor we are. Funny though, we are in a much worse position, yet seem to be handling it better.
If the fans get there way and nuno is sacked, can they bottle lightening twice? Will the "golden era of wolves" be over before it really got started? Either way, its entertaining
They look shocking at the moment!
We share parts with Wolves and Villa and maybe Walsall around Friar Park and Bescot as we are the bigger team than Walsall.
......I've still only ever seen 1 Wolves shirt on the Yew Tree ;D
Personally, I think Walsall is more Albion than Wolves, at least until you start getting to Bloxwich / Pelsall way. I've still only ever seen 1 Wolves shirt on the Yew Tree ;DBloxwich is probably split in two the parts closer to Walsall a Mix of Albion, Wolves and Walsall. The parts bordering Beechdale, New Invention Wolves and the parts bordering towards Cannock probably Wolves maybe Albion and Walsall minority Pelsall I am not sure It is not close to Wolves.

Can see them trying for the Sporting Lisbon manager, just gone through the season unbeaten I bet Mendes has tapped him up already.
Good manager they have lost there be interesting to see where Nuno ends up.
Even at a low ebb you can always rely on these inbred ***** to bring some joy.
Nuno a goner, the likely replacement Lage is a novice in comparison.
We should pass them again in May '22. 8)

I’m hearing Fosun and Mendes have had a big falling out behind the scenes 😆😂🤣Magic if true
They've been awful this season by their own Portuguese standards.
It's a bubble that was always going to burst. They may go down next season they may not but they will go down at some point soon and then we all know how good they are when they have to make ends meet in the Championship.
Oh well...
Magic if true
Would be lovely to see the future champions of europe implode, I look back to the Bhatti days fondly !
If those days return it's probably best to keep any collection buckets under lock and key.
Be interesting to see who their replacement is..
His charity work around Wolverhampton was admirable
You never know what you had until it’s gone..
I wonder if they will appoint a new Head Coach before us? 😁
Nuno had an untapped Portuguese market to exploit and the funds available to do so. Once that market dried up he was on a hiding to nothing. Similar, but on a lesser scale, to Wenger at Arsenal and the untapped French market. Once that dried up he weren't the same again and Arsenal gradually faded to also rans.
surely the qualification to come and work in Uk chaged with Brexit, the whole of europe cannot just turn up any longer they have to meet certain criteria to be eligible to work here,
I thought in football teams its something like, having prior international level experience and can therefore demonstrate that there are no suitable Uk alternatives for the job.
Clarification please chaps
Typed 'Brexit and British football' into the browser and found this. I haven't read it yet. You're welcome......According to the article, the FA blocked 3 players under the new Regs. who Allardyce had targeted. What has always been clear, is the Regs won't be a problem for the Man City's, Man Utd's and Liverpools as all their targeted players will meet the new criteria.

Have to say I was pleased they knocked back Brentford yesterday. The Brentford manager Frank has to be one of the most irritating managers about. By all accounts, Brentford time wasted for most of the game at Molineux earlier in the season. Yesterday Frank had some of his own medicine dished out, which caused him to moan and earned him a red card!
Reminds me of the extensive playacting by Brentford players against us.

Another Mendes client, who would have seen that coming :o
Loaning out their captain Coady to Everton for a season. Something bizarre about that.
Does anyone know what the issue was between Lage and Marsch at the end of the recent Leeds v Wolves?
Marsch, who comes across as calm and controlled was not happy with Lage at the end
Read the post match report on the BBC. Lage was claiming someone from the Leeds dugout was being insulting and derogatory, no apology was offered at the time and he basically wasn't very happy by full time. No idea what was actually said.I want to hear that someone shouted “alright Dave†😂
Wow... now they've announced Matheus Nunes as a record signing. Some player he is.... Pep described him as one of the best in the world. Might be a very long time before we play them again the way this is going.
It looks like it's something in the Black Country water.
Just like our Dike, Sasa Kalajdzic is out with a long term injury after only one start. Probably misses the season with an ACL injury.

I can recommend an ideal replacement, he wouldn’t have to move house and I hear he’s “a nice guyâ€. ;D
Former Olympiacos coach Pedro Martins is likely to be a strong contender to replace Bruno Lage as Wolves manager, while Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui could be considered and Celtic's Ange Postecoglou has been discussed. (Telegraph)
Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim is also among the contenders for the Wolves job, though it would cost the club £20m in compensation. (Sun)

Wolves are in advanced negotiations with former Olympiakos boss Pedro Martins, who recently failed to agree a deal to become Hull City manager, as the successor to Bruno Lage.
Nuno heavily linked to a return now. If he rocks up the sound of vehicles reversing in Wolverhampton will be loud. Very loud.
Yeah getting rid of Coady was a bizarre move, it would have been like us selling Olsson to a rival at his peak. You can't just go out and easily replace players like that.
Before originally joining Wolves, Nuno had a fairly patchy managerial career (it was worse that Lage's) and I think he was a case of right man, right time - rather than being a brilliant manager. I don't think he'd be as good now.
Old adage, "never go back" e.g. Johnny Giles
I was born in the 90s, sorry that's lost on me ;D
Wolves have interviewed former Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund boss Peter Bosz as a candidate for their managerial vacancy.Also ex-Ajax boss. His football is therefore very attacking, typical Ajax really. He tends to get off to a very good start at his new clubs, and then when he loses a few, he can't seem to reverse the downward spiral. That was his experience at Dortmund and Leverkusen anyway, and I suspect at Lyon.
BREAKING: Wolves have confirmed that Steve Davis will remain in interim charge of the first team until at least 2023.

Think these are in trouble.
Villa going to chuck another 100m at it just to survive and i think they will with the new gaffer.
It doesn't feel like Wolves owners are willing to spunk another 100m on them however. They might go all out in the Jan window but i doubt it.
Feels like Fosun think they have spunked enough already which is fair.

Great signing for them 😂
Wolves lose 3-2 after being 2-1 up. Now only above bottom due to goal difference.
I think for their PL future it all comes down to how much cash the owners are willing to spunk in Jan window.
EDIT - Just looked and they have a net spend of 324m since 2016/17 :o
the reason they didn't spend much in the summer was due to FFP rules. Selling Gibbs-White for a ridiculous fee allowed them to then bring in what they did.
it's why the price tags on Neves, Neto and Traore are so high.
they also have the issue of the MIA Raul Jimenez.
Just seeing the England squad including the name Coady (Everton) brought home just how bizarre the decision to loan him out was. Its not as if Wolves are loaded with top class defenders. Otherwise they wouldn't be bottom of the league.

There can be upsides to tribal rivals making finals. I give you the FA Cup Final of 2015. Arsenal 4 v 0 Aston Villa. It really could have been ten. Complete and utter abject humiliation before millions of people on national TV plus who knows how many others worldwide.Thanks for the memory. I was visiting my brother on a short trip from Spain. We decided the best place to watch the game was The Prince of Wales in Moseley. The pub and beer garden were chocka. I almost felt sorry for the handful of vile fans there. The abuse was incessant all day, and all night long from Blues and Albion fans.The greatest FA cup final since 68. What a fantastic day!
I just knew they were going to get battered so I got the beers in, put my feet up and watched it all unfold. The look of desolation on those faces, the tears running down their cheeks, the blubbering of jowls. Hilarious.
It made for wonderful viewing in our household especially as they'd knocked us out in the quarters thus saving us taking said beating ourselves. I almost PMSL. Of course it could always have gone the other way..... but that's what the TV remote's for ;) .
That's seems like a very low number for any type of release clause. Pity Dowling didn't think to do something similar when we signed Kenneth Zohore......

They keep buying, and yet they let a little gem like Morgan Gibbs-White leave for £20M or so. It was another treat for me watching him score the winning pen at Forest and denying them a place in the League Cup semi-finals.
The Mix was full of 3-0, 4-0 predictions, deluded muppets.
It does seem odd just how much they are spending this season. Some eye watering amounts in the public domain with more to come. As with Forest,you do wonder how they do it.
Long for the day when we can do to Liverpool what they did in the last few minutes. 3-0 up and cries of "Ole!" as they stroke the ball around with ease for minutes on end. Impressive. Even if I say so myself.
I seem to remember us doing just that in the not distant past (the 3-0 skewering on Lukaku's debut). As for the future, who knows how long we shall have to wait? I imagine financial doping to the tune of however many hundreds of millions would certainly speed things along.
Had a watch of Wolves v Villa today. I don't come from the region, so wondering if there is a lot of animosity/rivalry between the fans? A few renditions of SOTV about the only audible evidence.

I think that was pretty much common knowledge regarding the wolves. They basically overspent so started to sell to balance the books and avoid a points fine. Regardless of getting away with it for now, I think they will struggle from now on due to Fosun seemingly downing tools. I think their glory days are over thankfully.
"Simon Stone
Bad news. @Wolves have recorded a loss of £67.2m for the financial year to 31 May 2023. Good news. After avoiding P&S breach last year, it looks as though they will avoid it (just) for this one as well. Vindication of club's refusal to spend big in summer/Jan."

It's not necessarily Fosun 'downing tools', so much as an acknowledgment that the FFP rules no longer allow owners to just keep plowing money in.
There are a whole lot of Premier League clubs who are going to be skirting the line over the next couple of years.
I understand this and I completely agree. However, I'm also talking about the wider context of the Chinese economy/foreign policy which will also affect the Wolves. I don't think the interest has been there for a couple of years now compared to what it once was.
How has the interest not Bern there?
They managed to rid themselves of a prima Donna cheque book manager who wasn't prepared to work within the financial parameters of ffp and managed to replace him with an arguably better younger manager for free who has got them to 8th place I think.
Molienux Mix is in Meltdown lol
Pre-match in the Sportsman yesterday was superb. I have never seen scenes like that watching a game that did not feature the Baggies. The group of Indian people sat close to the big screen enjoying a feast in the kitchen area didn't have a clue what was going on and just looked on in amazement.AJ said the Hospitality areas at the ground were loving it he was delighted with it to. A baggies fan and a Bristol Rovers fan so both his rivals lost although he would prefer to beat the Dingles over Bristol City obviously
The room went from virtual silence when the Dings went 2-1, to joyous when Cov equalised, to mass hysteria when the winner went in. Bloody fantastic.

Villa vs spurs last weekKnowing us we would have lost to Brighton our bogey team
Villa vs Man U at Christmas 😃
In all seriousness I think we let rivalry with the dingles get in the way of the bigger picture …
1) I hate Villa…seriously dislike wolves ,I’d have the dingles win the fa cup if the vile were relegated
2) be aware of cov …now they are through if they make the play off final it’ll be 3 visits to Wembley under Robbins in 12 months …so players very comfortable with the occasion…not sure many of ours have ?
3) if cov make both finals then point 2 but 4 visits in a year AND the play off final gets moved to accommodate ..
I’d rather the dingles win personally and let’s be clear whilst they took their goals well…Mowatt has got off bloody lightly with that pathetic corner ??

It was very entertaining watching them implode at the Island Inn. In truth Coventry should have had that game wrapped up long before the end but then the agony wouldn't have been so bad for the Wolves supporters as they'd have had time to mentally prepare themselves.When Swansea knocked them out the cup after they had already sold tickets for the next match 😂😂😂
As it was that must have been utterly gutting for them. Raised a very big smile for me especially in the light of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Dawson's comments after our game with them but if that had been the Vile losing in such circumstances the roof would have come off at our table.

Yes, Leeds, Southampton, Ipswich and even Leicester fans will have all done the same by now as they are 'guaranteed' the play offs. Many Albion fans too, which doesnt then leave a lot of rooms at a cheaper rate
well there are going to be a lot of cancellations around then, might wait until last minute.You can have mine if we dont make it! ;D ;D
