Wolves: Prem
Moderator: Zulus Thousand of em
I was working in Wolverhampton on Saturday. I've never seen so many fat people in one place.
Another 'divine right to be in the Premier League' club that will probably get a rude awakening next season. There's some good youngsters there, but McCarthy's glittering history of top-flight management will even that out.

Your point is?jimbo wrote:Didn't we under Allardyce have a habit, especially in his last season, of being 3 or 4-0 down after half an hour? I'm thinking Boro, West Ham, Spurs and Utd away. Isn't that simply not turning up leaving nothing positive to draw on?warthog wrote:Conversely, we've lost 20 of the 35 games played and failed to score in nearly half of the league games.CrazyHorse wrote:Tombwfc wrote:Easy to get to, is what I meant.FD wrote: Dunno about Preston, but Burnley would beat us at the moment.
Nevertheless, we've won the same amount of away games so far this season as we did in 05/06 when we finished 8th, and currently this season we've scored the same amount of goals away as Man Utd have. Not bad for a set of negative tw*ts who roll over every other week.
People don't half fly off the handle every time we lose a game.
The number of times where we simply don't turn up, where there is absolutely nothing positive to draw on, is way too high. That's what pisses people off.
That, if anything, it aint as bad as it used to be in that respect...............warthog wrote:Your point is?jimbo wrote:Didn't we under Allardyce have a habit, especially in his last season, of being 3 or 4-0 down after half an hour?

Dunno if I've misinterpreted this, but Wolves were in the premiership abotu four years ago IIRC.blurred wrote:Not been there before, happy with that. Come on Cardiff and Burnley, now. Or Swansea. Or Preston. Or basically anyone who isn't Birmingham and Sheffield United, really. Definitely anyone who isn't Birmingham.

Indeed. Great pity.ratbert wrote:I remember how they used to moan every year that Steve Bull never got to play in the top flight. Shame eh?
I still think that "Who's sh1t? Bull's sh1t!" is possibly the finest football chant ever...
Only good thing about them going up is that we'll get to sing it again.
That, and the fact that they'll go straight back down, humiliated.

Now, settle down, you lot, you are desecrating my favourite memory. As a sprog (as in when I was knee high to a grasshopper) I had few chances to visit Burnden Park to watch the mighty Trotters play football. OK, it was just the one chance but our opponent on that day was Wolverhampton Wanderers. Standing - and jumping up and down in order to see the game over the heads of all those flat caps arrayed before me like some sort of mobile shale shelf - taught me, in one easy lesson, that trying to watch a football game from the terraces for someone who boasts a height less than about six foot six whilst wearing clogs (yes I did!) is not only wearing, it's not clever.

I was thinking that, maybe he and Lofty Jnr. could do some sort of double act. The only drawback is that, SPOILER it might not be the same guy in the Lofty suit.enfieldwhite wrote:I hope Lofty resurrects the Body Building routine!

You're one of those Father Christmas/ Tooth Fairy deny-ers aren't you?
"You're Gemini, and I don't know which one I like the most!"
A father asked his son, Little Johnny, if he knew about the birds and the bees. "I don't want to know!" Little Johnny said, exploding and bursting into tears. Confused, his father asked Little Johnny what was wrong. "Oh Pop," Johnny sobbed, "for me there was no Santa Claus at age six, no Easter Bunny at seven, no Tooth Fairy at eight, and no Lofty the Lion at nine. And if you're telling me now that grownups don't really have sex, I've got nothing left to believe in!"enfieldwhite wrote:Prufrock wrote:I was thinking that, maybe he and Lofty Jnr. could do some sort of double act.
