Newcastle

Nights out in Newcastle are often unpredictable. Not for Wolves. As the Sky Sports statisticians pointed out before kick-off, a draw was always the most likely outcome. Given the Toon’s torrid run of form, it’d be fair to view the result as a missed opportunity to get another three points on the board. But, in […]
