Wolves: Prem

[ratbert]

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.

[Verbal]

Alex Rae scored a good volley against us once.

As long as we do them away like last time, that would be nice SKD last minute, yes!

[warthog]

Dunno about Preston, but Burnley would beat us at the moment.

Easy to get to, is what I meant.

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.

Conversely, we've lost 20 of the 35 games played and failed to score in nearly half of the league games.

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.

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?

Your point is?

That, if anything, it aint as bad as it used to be in that respect...............

So it's ok to be shit now, because it was shit then. I see.

[Verbal]

well, people didn't complain as much then I'd wager.

Visit Farnworth on a Saturday afternoon. The Brackley Street hamburger queens are a sight to behold...or maybe not.

[CrazyHorse]

They bloody did. This place was whinge central station whether we won, lost or drew.

Haha you sound like a child minder at a creche.

[Verbal]

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.

Dunno if I've misinterpreted this, but Wolves were in the premiership abotu four years ago IIRC.

[TANGODANCER]

Under the current rules regime, will Lofty be prosecuted now for pie-throwing?

[Puskas]

Is this thread not drifting off-topic?

Old Gold Bastards.

Hope they go down with less points than Derby.

[ratbert]

I remember how they used to moan every year that Steve Bull never got to play in the top flight. Shame eh?

Indeed. Great pity.

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.

[Dujon]

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.

With the usual riders, welcome aboard all you (apparently fat?) west-Midland supporters.

I hope Lofty resurrects the Body Building routine!

[Prufrock]

I hope Lofty resurrects the Body Building routine!

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.

What? What suit? He wears a Bolton strip not a suit.

You're one of those Father Christmas/ Tooth Fairy deny-ers aren't you?

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!"
