‘I think, therefore I play.’ A quote from our godlike Ruben Neves, who not only created the single most joyous footballing-based moment of my life, but made me question the very meaning of life at the same time.
Oh Ruben…
…Not content with painting this dreamy work of art to trump all before, but he made 12 months of studying Descartes seem worthwhile and left me questioning whether it even happened in the first place.
So pure was Ruben’s spellbinding volley that it actually felt spiritual. It transcended a ball hitting a net and got me thinking of the French philosopher – and what we can perceive as reality and what is pure illusion.
Whether an oasis in a desert or a stick bending in water, your eyes never cease to deceive. And in your most lucid of dreams, a moment can be so vivid that your heart can ache once you’ve opened them. If your body and soul can create such anomalies, at what point is life to be believed?
As the ball was cleared to our Ruben, his first touch slowly span us into a whirl. His second accelerated us into a full on vortex.
As the ball arced and dipped, inexorably, into the top corner, we were briefly transported into new paradigm of being. Was the collective gasp of astonishment a reaction to the ball hitting the net, or the embracing of Nirvana? Descartes would call it proof. I can only call it heaven.
So pure was this goal that it felt celestial. Slicing through the floodlight sky that evoked memories of Sir Billy and Stan, a tiny bit of my heart broke, realising in that nanosecond that I’d reached absolute fulfilment. For John McGinlay, for ‘The Choke’ of ‘02, for the pain and misery inflicted to the point where I’d lost any sense of feeling anymore, this immortal moment cleansed my soul.
As the ball hit the net I reached for my father. My hero, who carried me on his shoulders along a derelict Waterloo Road Stand once upon a time. I held him tighter than I’ve done since 1992, closed my eyes and embraced another world. In this distilled moment of ecstasy I felt as if life – and death – could be cradled in one.
Words will never do justice to what our Portuguese Michelangelo sculpted on Tuesday night, but until I can prove that it was all a dream, I’ll forever be in Ruben Neves’ debt.
God bless you.

Superb stuff!
Another gem from Ben and possibly a first.
Is this the first Wolves blog – or the first FOOTBALL blog to quote Descartes?
Very possibly.
If a tree falls in a forest when nobody is around can you hear the scream of Colin Wanker as it crushes the life out of him?
Hopefully.
If Neves scores a goal like that can you hear two jaws drop and see four eyes fill with misty tears in a Melksham living room in front of a flashing magic box.
Very certainly!
Some people ask to have a favourite song played at their funeral. Mine would be ‘When an old cricketer leaves the crease’ by the magnificent Roy Harper.
But now, I might add a replay of the Neves goal to be shown as the coffin disappears and the curtain finally closes.
Keep up the brilliant writing Ben and let’s hope that there is more fulfillment to come in the next few years.
I’m off to make a nice cup of tea.
After reading your words mate, I need one.
Doog – funeral song will be cremated to Fire by Aurther brown should give everyone a good laugh.
Goin’ Underground by The Jam for me, I went off cremation after watching Diamonds are Forever.
Thanks Doog. As always, you are way too kind – but I will gladly take your compliments as a badge of honour! And as a cricket nut, I need to listen to Roy Harper’s work. It will doubtless make me cry.
My dear old Uncle Ben had ‘Onwards Christian Soldier’ at his funeral. That made me cry too!
Ben, if you haven’t heard ‘an old cricketer’ then you must make it your next task. It’s an absolute belter.
But be sure to have a big box of tissues at the ready.
My two are Comfortably Numb, and Going Underground.
Then you must go straight here!

‘Their mortal remains’ exhibition at the V&A.
Just before the end there was this room where we just sat on the floor and took in a bit of Floyd.
Put it on your biggest screen and in the words of the great John Lennon “PLAY LOUD!”.
Ben and to think he repeated it on the 2nd attempt with Bullard on sky – Bliss
Possibly the last time for picture to come out with champions 2017/2018 which I think was posted around August time, but we are premier league now.
Congrats to Witley on the prediction league, I should have gone for a loss at sunderland but the wolves fan in me held me back.
Hi Basher. I did see that! It was the first time I think I’ve heard Jimmy Bullard speechless…the power of Ruben knows no bounds!
I agree completely with all you wrote Ben. It was, indeed, a very good goal.
Thank you Wolfstroker. It’s one I’ll never forget
Mate, this might be your finest moment yet…and that’s saying something. Absolutely superb. That second-to-last paragraph, describing the moment the ball hit the back of the net, and reaching for your dad, it brought a tear to my eye. Regardless of who you support, or even regardless of football, I thought it summed up those all-too-rare once in a lifetime moments. Just brilliant, mate.
Thank you Bagsy. Coing from a literary genius, that means a lot! I know that I am clearly gushing over the goal, but I meant every word. For the first time in all my life of watching Wolves, that one snapshot represented absolute fulfilment. If I ever feel that again I’ll be lucky.
I thought this article was funny. They’ll all know his name soon enough.

“…Nuno Espirito Gomes’ men ran riot throughout the season, showing no signs of slipping up and producing some moments of magic along the way…”
Thanks Ben for some brilliant mid week musings. Ruben’s strike was the crowning point of a wondrous season.
Whenever I start thinking about deeper things I invariably go back to Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata, quoted by numerous politicians and film stars and issued in 1971 as a spoken word single by Les Crane (and others since). Some people on here might also recall the 70s posters.
To paraphrase Desiderata, the (Wolves) universe is unfolding as it should.
Thank you Exiledwolf. That is very kind of you. I will have to look that up! The more literary pearls of wisdom that I can basically steal for a future blog, the better!!!!
‘Go placidly amid the noise and haste & remember …’ It sits in front of me next to the computer. Maybe it’s why I refuse to get too over-hyped about the coming season; I’m sure we’ll do okay and maybe better, but even the mid table teams are more than formidable on their day, so it’s going to be hard. I’m really excited and looking forward to the new season, but will not have sky high expectations to begin with. Hopefully, after half a dozen games we’ll have a true idea of how good we are rather than what some think we are. Hope they are right though.
Ben – am now sitting at work blubbing like a baby in arms because of these words of yours;
As the ball hit the net I reached for my father. My hero, who carried me on his shoulders along a derelict Waterloo Road Stand once upon a time. I held him tighter than I’ve done since 1992, closed my eyes and embraced another world. In this distilled moment of ecstasy I felt as if life – and death – could be cradled in one.
Thank you.
OODCL
Bedford, you are way too kind. I appreciate your kind words as always. If the blog resonated with you, even for five minutes, then it was more than worth my time writing it. I can’t thank you enough. I’ll remember such words when I’m feeling miserable! Ben
You re all going soft in your old age …. I want to know why the other fucking ten players can’t do that !
Glad we’ve signed Afobe
Does anyone have any details about this urinecup in Switzerland yet ? Cos I’m thinking of going
Urinecup……..?? You taking the piss???
Matt,
One of the travelgroups have a coach leaving from a pub in Wolvo, £150 for the travel and meals, hotel prices to be confirmed. That in itself is a true bargain for a trip to Swaziland.
Darren.

Matt – on the Wolves website. Tickets for Switzerland games on sale to STH June 6th at 10am. £20 each game and our allocation is 1200 for each game.
Brilliant – the goal and Ben’s write up.
Thanks so much for your generosity Steppenwolfe, and thanks for the kind words too. You’ve made a little boy very happy. He is the envy of his classmates too, as they’ve not seen a shirt quite like it. The box, the packaging and the paper it was presented in was a touch of class…as was the goal itself…as are you! Thanks again. We really, really appreciate the shirt. He’ll be wearing it in the Premier League next season!!!!
Hello mate .. how the devil are you ?
Ok .. the uhren cup then .. the last thing I heard was that wolves were due to play a couple of sides in Berne sometime between 10 and14july .. does anyone know anything else?
I see John Terry has reluctantly left Villa after so many long, long weeks of service a one man club yeah trouble is that club is Chelsea… Ha……Ha…..
I’d like to go on record and thank JT for giving me the biggest laugh since there play off defeat….!
Cheers John
Ah yes but JT did say that Villa would always have a place in his heart and that his time there was a special part of his life. What? You don’t think he is genuine or sincere? What the ‘legendary’ John Terry? A man of such impeccable integrity and intelligence?
John Terry. Captain, scumbag, moron.
OODCL
Ben has got it spot on with the Ruben Rocket. Last season I sat through many wonder goals and moments. At one point I was going to the Doctor to check if my mental health was holding up such was the disbelief in what I was watching. Finest football I have ever seen from the men in Gold. This following years of mediocre offerings. As the great Basil Fawlty once said ‘Perhaps it’s a dream? No we’re stuck with it’ Bloody hope so!
Ben,
WOW that is superb & similar to “our” Neves is world class.
As far as the game & “that goal” goes, I’m one that really cannot fully appreciate it as after 26 games at the Mol last season & the only one I missed was Derby & “that goal”
However 5 other worldies I did see & the emotion of Colins back-yard in minutes 93 to 97 will stay with me till I go up to the Pearly Golden Gates.
Best season, coaches, players, fans & above all football I’ve ever seen. UTW
You missed the Derby game? And you call yourself a fan! 😉
Actually, I think it’s the title of a book by Andrea Pirlo.
The silence from Stan Collymore is deafening……!
The sad part about “That” goal is Jota’s goal in the first half has been completely overshadowed, when it too could have been goal of the season.
Boly’s through ball, over the defence, to exactly where Diogo had pointed, the run to beat the offside trap, and the exquisite finish.
Pure class and quality.
Another fine piece of writing, Benny Boy, ever think about a career as a journalist??!!
With your recent sojourns into prose on the blog, I have to misquote ( horribly!) that bloke ftom Stratford,
Methinks thou dost have too much thyme on thy hands.
Wonder where your writing talents come from, certainly not that bald chap in Ludlow.
Have a great summer, my friend
Fowb
Clive i think the goal Nev, scored against Sheffield Wednesday was just as good as the Derby one personally.
I see that Nuno is in the running for the Real Madrid vacancy.
He’s certainly come a long way in a year!
Perhaps even the Daily Express might get his name right next time they print some rubbish about him.
Been out of the loop for over a week whilst cruising the Baltic, is it right we have signed Afobe? 12.5 mil? Anybody else?
Wi-fi very hit and miss here, and absolutely extortionate in Russia (£7.50 per meg)
No wonder you didn’t reply to my 5000 messages.
The baccy boat to the Hook of Holland is not a Baltic Cruise.
Good job I don’t smoke then innit?
Got back to England yesterday to rain in Newcastle and cloudy skies all the way on the drive home until we got to Wolvo when the sun came out.
This was after 2 weeks of cloudless skies and record May temperatures all around the Baltic, 28 degrees in Stockholm and 26 degrees in St Petersburg, even got my knees out one day!
Foot high grass and a few weeks other gardening jobs will keep me busy until the world cup kicks in
I think he should take the job at Real, I don’t want a manager who even after 12 Months at the club, can’t pronounce the name of the ground right.
Its Molineux Nino
Not MollyKnow
A slight point missed here is that with the (many)
Years of misery and the virtual acceptance that a Wolves fan
must learn to be half suicidal and Un expectant..
The bare truth that we are even talking about a world
quality goal by a (Wolves) world quality player is to me almost incredible..
The life changing experience of all this makes me
believe in true miracles …
It is also quite possible that this is only the start..
And the other disgraceful thing about “ that” goal is Ruben isnt even in the Portugal world cup squad
Good, Clive that way he cannotget injured or show the world how good he is then we lose him….To let’s say Rail….Of …..The mad ..Rid.
Wow! What a goal and what a write up. I agree moments like that certainly do have greater meaning. A new paradigm is needed for us Wolves fans.
No longer is each silver lining the edge of a massive grey cloud. The clouds of doubt are clearing and we head forward into a new day full of confidence and optimism. Any obstacles we can meet with a smile and get over them one by one till we meet our new goal. Now we have seen the impossible is possible our eyes are open and we can face our challenges without the ghosts of the past weighing us down. A new era has dawned.
indeed, to dream the impossible dream, to reach the unreachable star…………
can’t wait for day one of the new season……………
Still nothing from Stan the man….. Probably busy over Cannock Chase……dog….In.
Looks like we are re-signing Adobe. I have got mixed feelings about that one. Maybe our more ambitious targets are not be coming off and I don’t like giving them that sort of money. Not really young anymore and sometimes looking a bit one paced. Perhaps Nuno will work his magic on him. Sako backo? No for me.
I hope I’m not making a mountain out of molehill but I hear that one of Fosun’s corporate investments is in trouble. The Athens-listed public company Folli Follie Group has Fosun as it’s second biggest shareholder. The Folli Follie share price has crashed over 70% in the past year and is now suspended. It even dropped 25% in a single day recently. This Fosun investment is potentially worthless. I hope this doesn’t lead to belt-tightening elsewhere in the Fosun group, particularly with Wolves.
From $34 to $6. Ouch!
At least Fosun have a gilt-edged investment in Wolves! Purchase price, plus player transfers in, less player transfers out, can’t come to anything like £100mil. Must be worth at least double!
In Nunno We Trust
Damp squib comes to mind Dances. Forsum have hundreds of company’s in there portfolio, swings and roundabouts, relax enjoy the ride. Xxx
Just want to sign off for the season by wishing every blogger on this site a fucking massive great summer and what you must do is look like you are bothered about Villa. WE FUCKIN AY. am we bothered about Sandwell Town. We fuckin ay. See ya all in August.
Wolves, this week, have spent over £30 milion (Jota, Boly & Afobe) and no ones’ batted and eye-lid.
Fat Boy Slim song:
We’ve come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should
One of the longest running farces continues as Dirty Leeds are now looking for their 10th manager since 2014 after sacking the bloke they only appointed in February. That’s what happens when you get clueless owners. Couldn’t happen to a nicer club! 😉
OODCL
Lol Paul of featherstone
Colimore is such a prick , probably trying to accumulate next seasons full list of wrong predictions
I don’t mind the villa but his big shitty mouth and girl beating antics helped me take pleasure in that Fulham goal
Another season in the championship for that prick , and if they do something stupid like getting rid of Steve Bruce then possibly more
They think their big name will carry them through, well we all know that’s not the case eh ?
They are in financial doo-doo. Bigly!
They may not get out for a long time.
London me neither never minded the Villa till this season thought they had won the league when they beat us but as we know to well its what you do over 46 games not 1.
I would like to have seen ,Albion stay up as well so we could beat them i remember when all the Midlands clubs were in the top flight happy days it was good for the banter and the West Midlands as a hole.
Any ways on my way back from Pad..Of…The… Stow….Still no sign of the new kit…?
No mate , no sign .. good memories though … remember walking the gauntlet to the old high field road for Coventry away , singing the red Barron song
I know what you mean tho
I’m relieved about Albion tho cos I’d have looked a bit stupid after flying that plane / banner over the spurs game
I meant to mention to you that
I went to Lisbon recently, never seen so many Vespas in years ( all shapes and sizes
I was in Cannock no 9 s for a while with jumbo , Jonny , smurf , Gupta , frazza , etc … have our paths crossed . Also used to travel on Bish s Cannock wolves bus
Missing the footie at the minute and missing the company of you bloggers also so me and Sue are gonna have a trip to Pride Park for the game against Frank Lampards’ boys on the 28th of July. A Saturday 3:00pm ko if anyone fancies a few drinks and a bite to eat. Not staying over as there is a direct train from Newark to Derby.
I think we’ll be up for that one Ian…
I’ll pencil it in the diary mate..
The view from Snow Hill to Mander House is fuckin marvellous. The city is gonna be buzzing next season. FWAW!
Former Premier League “star” Jamie O’Hara has had liposuction. It wasn’t specified whether the fat was removed from his waist or his head.
OR Wolves supporters wallets…….. he is a tosser
Having watched the end of season, winning celebrations, for the umpteenth time, I wonder what is going to be done in twelve months time to top that, after we win the Prem.
Allegedly leaked first week schedule has Wolves at home to Chelsea.
Good, let’s take on a team in disarray and show the rest of the league what we are about.
Apparently that is a faked schedule. It happened when we were in the championship as well.
Bring on June 14th.cor fuckin wait. Basically we go to London, North West, South Coast and Cardiff Leicester Newcastle.
Every year for the past three years at least the opening day fixtures have supposedly been ‘leaked’. They never have and haven’t now. We will have to wait till 14 June – Thursday week – to find out.
Having said that I did have a very vivid dream last week that our first two fixtures were Arsenal away (which we won 3-1) and then Man U at home which we won either 2-0 or 4-0 (you know how dreams can be very confusing and contradictory).
OODCL
Yes.
My good mate Scooped once came out to play with a bruise on his forehead.
He dreamed he was playing for Wolves in the cup final, jumped up to head in the winning goal from a Waggy cross, ……………………and head butted the wall!!
Here’s a question for you all.
I read recently that in the purchase agreement, Fosun agreed to donate a large sum to charity if/when Wolves got promoted.
Has anyone else read that and has anyone heard if that will take place?
That’s a new one on me Tim.
Tim I think the deal was if Wolves got promoted to the premier league Fosun would pay Steve Morgan 30 million which in turn he would transfer to his or other charities.
The new kit.
The one with black sleeves, – I don’t like it.
The one with the wave black sash- I don’t like it.
My brother John who was there in the 50s glory days, said old gold was more brown. A sort of golden brown. Id like to see that!
As The Stranglers said:
Never a frown with golden brown.
Jim – see my post below. Our prayers are being answered on an almost daily basis!
OODCL
Could the people running our club get any better or be more in tune with us the fans?
From the E&S this afternoon regarding our new kit;
Wolves are set to revert to a 1950s-style classic old gold kit for their big return to the Premier League. And it’s believed the new away kit will see a return to the club’s traditional white as Wolves and new kit providers Adidas go retro for the highly anticipated top flight campaign next season.
YES!!!!!!!
OODCL
Have just seen Donald Trumps hair on telly and it has an uncanny resemblance to the new strip. Is The Donald a Wolves fan? Will Kim Jong – Un be impressed on June 12th and stunningly reveal his great grandfather’s uncles cousin who lives in a tree in Sumatra once owned a goal keeper shirt donated by Phil Parkes? Will they announce a ground breaking deal by pronouncing World Peace ay we! Only time will tell. What we do know…… These are mighty fine times to be Wolves fan….
Cheesy
It’s always good to be a Wolves fan, but right now it’s gooder than ever.
In fact you could say it’s Doogooder!!
Note to self, need to get out of the Texas sun.
Yeah Clive. Being a Wolves fan right now is pretty marvellous. That said. I am and always will be Wolves. Win lose draw. Come rain or shine. Hell or high water. Wolves ay we…..

“…Morgan is selling Wolves for £30m and pledging to hand part of that sum to charity if the club are promoted…”
Dog.. these bloody journalists are getting bored..
Afobe wanted by stoke !!!!!!! bloody back where they belong with the albion stoke.
How these people lower their selves to report such shite is beyond me.
Do they put any real thought into their reporting or just write about the first thing that comes into their tiny minds.
I could start to try and de cipher this crap but why bother.
Benik afobe is now a wolves player and after a pre season with nuno and the coaches will be a world beater in a mesmerizing team at the top of the premier.
20+ for benik next season.
Put your pocket money on it .
Spikeyboy – like you I have been watching this so called story play out in the rumours columns online. Like you I think it is garbage and can’t understand where it’s come from or why. If it were true, which I can’t accept, then it doesn’t sit well with me at all as I thought we were now run by people with integrity. I can well believe Morgan or Moxey would have done something like this – use a player like a commodity for a £2m profit (though some reports said we’d paid Ballmouth £12.5m so then there’d be a loss!) – but surely not Jeff and Nuno.
Perhaps it is all rubbish but it is annoying me at the moment. A lot. Then again much of what I read at the moment is on a par with that. Only today I read that we should sign some Leeds defender – the tall blonde one who was ripped to shreds twice by us last season – as he’d be guaranteed a game with us whereas if he chose a bigger club like Everton or Leicester he’d just sit on the bench! What!!!!
OODCL
Boys and Girls,
It’s all bollocks.
The season has finished, the world cup aint started, these little superstar “journalists” ain’t got nothing to write about, so they play “lets make up some shit”
They have got to justify their jobs, so the more outlandish the lie, the more dummies are supposed to believe it.
Well, word to the wise, Wolves fans ain’t dummies and until Nuno or Jeff sez it’s so, it ain’t so.
If they want to start rumors that will be taken in by fans, they need to go to sandwell or aston, and write using words of one syllable or less.
Better yet, produce pop up books and lots of colorful pictures, using blue and white with claret and blue.
We all have our opinions of who we would like to see signed, and who we would love to see the back of.
Whomsoever turneth out in Old Gold and Black pre and next season, will get the full backing of me, and I hope, everyone else.
Nuno hasn’t done too bad so far, has he??
Brilliant Clive
Spot on Clive, good post.
Glad to see our Ruben has been proactive about not going to the World Cup by calling himself Adam and going on love island
Well, would you Adam and Eve it!!!
You watch Love Island?!?!?!

Off on my hol’s today folks. So many transfer rumours flying around, but I’m believing nothing till I see them on the club website holding the shirt. Some of the players mooted to be heading our way would have seemed pure fantasy in days of yore, but these are different times for sure and, by the time I get home, our squad could resemble the Portuguese national team three years hence.
As well as trying to keep up with the rumour mill, I’ll also have the World Cup to try and follow. It does seem to be on every tele’ in every bar in every country in Europe, so I’m sure wherever the road leads, I’ll be able to find a screen to watch, even if the commentary fails to inform me too much. Come on England. I watched the Iceland debacle as the only Brit in a German bar full of locals. Highly embarrassing. Why does it never happen to them??
Catch y’all later,
Have a good holiday mate.
Thanks Dorset. I’ll do me best. Regards to Mrs Dorset too.
Are you doing a European road trip? Have a great time mate.
That kinda thing Exiled. Came thru’ France and Luxembourg and am now camped by a lake between Koblenz and Frankfurt. Just idyllic tis.
Have a great trip, wherever you go, and spread the gospel!!
We expect to see the Old Gold and Black flag flying over famous places!!
You would, of course Clive, see our famous colours dangling from the Brandenburg Gate, or somewhere, but I’m not a one for famous places. Country boy, I am. Through and through.
Afobe to Stoke?
£2 mil profit in 4 days.
I am happy with that. He is after all only a Championship standard player.
Will be surprised though if it comes off.
Nuno reckons he is Premier League standard. I’ll stick with backing Nuno’s judgement.

I have to wait until next Tuesday before I can buy my first ever season ticket. Better that than scrambling for the few tickets being made available on a match by match basis.

Thanks for the info Mike. It’s a great vantage point (and the company is not so bad).
TIM …. looks like you were very right about DISASTON VILLA ,
WOW , just been talking to a villa friend of mine , Dr Tony can’t get his money out of China and they can’t pay the 6 million a month to pay the bills
Could be starting their new campaign with a 12 point deduction
I hear that Wolfstroker is off on his hols.
I reckon he’s smoking the Harley to Russia to take on the Ultraskis.
He should have asked a few bloggers along to help.
Several choruses of “We’ve got Neves…” would have had them on the run in no time.
I’ve experienced it.
It’s horrible!
Is anybody else watching the football progs on the History Channel? They’re showing some decent stuff in the run up to the World Cup, including ‘One Night in Turin’ about England’s run in the 1990 finals.
BENIK AFOBE SAGA.
I was at Molineux last night as part of a Fans Parliament steering group meeting. Like “New Wolves”, the club have asked us to launch a updated and modern version of “New Fans Parliament”.
One of the guys sent this, it’s worth a listen and at the end it does give links to other players in the mix in the transfer market with some informed opinions.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&feature=youtu.be&v=itWgJGwPjgU
Why not,
Everyone else on the planet has been linked with Wolves……
Nah, he’s too old, and even Fosun couldn’t afford the number of mirrors the narcissist has all over the place!!
He was completely anonymous in Kiev, and has started the downward spiral all players reach eventually.
Let him play out his contract in Spain, and if Real are flukey enough to reach the European Cup Final in two years time, he can pose, as usual, hands on hips, and watch Diogo, Ruben, Helda et al waltz around and help the new European power house, Wolverhampton Wanderers, start an unprecedented winning run of Cup wins.
Like the kit Stu………….the wait is killing me I thought someone might of leaked it as its done and dusted according to the local rag…!
Where is it………….ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
OOOhhhh errrr. You bin on the Ratlers have ee. Must need a spell recuperatin’ I reckon. Tis evil stuff.
Announcement……
AVFC have come up with a novel idea to fund the other £1m they owe the tax man.
I was thinking we could rent their stadium and use it while Molineux is redeveloped all at once, instead of one stand at a time.
We could get priority times or, of they go tits up, we could use it exclusively.
you know what Tim … we have the same thoughts on football stuff..
If anyone has any spare time that they are willing to give to a good cause then would they mind using it to explain to me why Danny Rose plays for England
London – Mr Rose, he of the ‘he brushed against me ever so gently therefore I am entitled to fly up in the air and land arse down whilst screaming out in agony in a style befitting a namby pamby cissy’ mentality, plays for a so-called ‘big 6 club’ and is English therefore he MUST be of England international standard. Apparently!
See also Phil Jones, Eric Dier, Kieran Trippier, Raheem Sterling, Danny Welbeck and many, many more.
Bring back Sir Alf, Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Gordon Banks and the other REAL football men.

What about this bit of kit……..espeailly for you Cheeseburger buddy……….I wouldn’t mind a ” Holiday in the Sun ” with this young lady……..!
Nice one Paul AD1967. Sadly, when I go to a punk gig these days there are no enjoyable sights like that. It’s just fat middle aged blokes with bald heads and a handful of spotty politics students. Perhaps she will turn up when I go to see The Dickies in August down Bilston. You never know. Who would have thought we would end up on 99 points last season. Cheers mate.
Good to know the dinosaurs are still with us just when you thought they were extinct. Sorry for all of you who find me an irritating prat but I felt I had to make a final appearance.

What if these players saying they want to go elsewhere is just a ruse to make it look like we have trouble signing them and Mendes is not ordering them around?
What if they all make it seem like they are possibly going elsewhere before signing with us?
Then when the Premier League complains about all of the top players we signed, we can point to the difficulty we had persuading them to come to our team.
It might even be worth it to let a couple get away just to show it didn’t work all of the time.
Crikey……the webs we weave.
Thanks for the explanation Bedders’s… I was wandering what the answer was
Just take Jones out of that bunch and I think you may be onto something
Would love to see the new kit with a really good new signing (or two) wearing it, announced today.
One in a goalkeepers shirt and a n other in the good Old, (Old Gold & Black)
Now that would round off one of those nice week thingys.
I’m hearing the shirt sponsor is going to be a betting company.
What are you hearing over there.
Is this going to be Jeff’s first big policy mistake in the eyes of the fans?
They should start off the season with a charity sponsor and when we start tearing up the league, they can agree for a much higher amount for the sponsorship.
I’m hearing we are getting 4 million pounds, which doesn’t seem like a lot.
It would buy the Villa !!!
£4 mil is a lot, if you are losing that much every week, like Villa! Oh dear, massive fine and points deduction probable for them. Just like they wanted for Wolves!
A German man walks up to the immigration desk at Warsaw airport. The immigration officer asks: “Occupation?”
The German replies: “No, just a holiday.”
Still reading Talisca rumours. Latest is he’s off to China for 6 months while his papers get processed. Not sure why he has problems getting his papers but not Bonatini.
It really has hit Villa hard.
Pictured below the back of the old Molinuex Street stand me and my brother used to go there every Sunday and see how the new stand was coming on on the way to our nan’s………..we saw it rise over the summer 1978 I think it was………..ah happy DAY’Z
I’m trying to distract myself while waiting for the new kit………..it’s driving me nuts…!
Russia 2018 is almost upon us.
So……………..what a beautiful day for going up to the Kremlin, knocking on the door and shouting ‘Is Len in?’.

P.S. just back from long weekend in Stratford Upon Avon complete with culture fix watching King Lear at the RSC. What a lovely place.
Bedders, when you were in Straford, you should have pop over to us for some free hospitality that would have really made your weekend. May be next time, it’s good to talk.
Nice one Bedders!
Stratford is indeed a lovely place.
I have two claims to fame about Stratford and King Lear.
The best man at my first wedding’s father was Mayor of Stratford back in the early 70s and my sister played The King in King Lear recently in Derby. She got a message of support from the great Glenda Jackson who was doing the same thing in the West End.
A bit tenuous I know but any claim to fame I’m claiming BIG time.
Your first wedding had a father? Did he make a speech?
OODCL
Sorry about the bad English – I’ve been mixing metaphors or splitting infinitives or whatever it is that I’ve been doing.
But my first wedding DID have a father, even though it turned out to be a bit of a bastard.
Hahaha, you mean a man more sinned against than sinning?
Must say I would struggle with a female King Lear. Call me old fashioned if you like – oh go on, most people do – but whilst I think of myself as anti-sexist and ant-racist I do struggle with things like seeing a story set in medieval England where the King has three daughters (all by the same mother) but where one of them is black. Or two brothers where one is black and the other white even though they have the same parents. Apart from anything else some of Shakespeare’s work is not that easy to follow, with King Lear being definitely falling into that category, and having black and white sisters or brothers doesn’t help matters!
Then again I am one of those who can’t accept a woman playing Dr Who – a Time Lady as opposed to a Time Lord? – and throw up my hands in horror at the thought of a black actor (or actress) playing the part of James Bond. I also hated the fact that the winner of that show a few years ago to find someone to play the part of Nancy in the revival of the musical Oliver was a rather a chubby girl – when Nancy was actually a poverty stricken lady of the night in London and as such would have been greatly underfed and undernourished. Not for racist or sexist or even fattist reasons but because it is just plain silly.
OODCL
You’re old fashioned!
But I guess I am too because I agree with most of what you are saying.
I just think that anyone who can remember, and then perform, the part of Lear, at an age when they should be sat down in front of the telly wearing their slippers and drinking their Horlicks, deserves a pat on the back.
It’s reported in the EandS that we’re about to sign Raul Jimenez… on season long loan with a buy option … snip at £30 million.
When the fans wanted a £30 million war chest ..did they mean each and every new signing…
One thing is for sure … we won’t be in a relegation battle…… excited …I need a drink..
What with him and Rui Patricio due to be signing this next week, it would be a good opportunity to stick them in the new kit and both Paul from Featherson and Twixtwix would be in ruptures.
And to think I wanted Sagbo and Grant Holt this season.
Remember Sagbo, skipping down the wing like a pregnant Armadildo, crossing it to Grant Holt loafing up the centre to arrive at the pass as the ball fell apart with the passage of time. Happy daze indeed Featherson, I need a drink too Twixilix.
I know … Mary Hopkin … those were the days… what on this planet did we ever see anything in Grant Holt…. eh Jez .. boy did you take the piss…. still you’re gone and never to be forgotten .. ( for being useless)…
Nice one Stuey … you persuaded Jenny yet about Switzerland…?
Too close to Florida mate, the lady’s not for turning.
She did let me buy a top bollocks tv for the World Cup this weekend.
Talking of England…….
Can’t take the p*** out of Scotland unfortunately as to quote a Jock’s World Cup song from 1978 “they did ‘nae qualify”. Think that was the year of ‘Ally’s army’ which turned into one of the most embarrassing debacles?
An invitation to all Bloggers.
Join my Sky Super Six World Cup prediction league.
League name is —- Is Len In?
PIN number is JV1GCM
If you’re not familiar with Sky Super Six you have to predict the results of six matches at a time. Points if you get the result right and more points if you get the score spot on. My league is just for fun but there are big cash prizes given away by Sky (they can afford it!) and if you get all six scores right you win big cash!
Google ‘sky soccer six’, register (its easy and takes two minutes) and then join my league and make your first six predictions.
Go on – it’ll be a laugh.
OODCL
Here’s another one of my wacky theories.
The reason Wolves are taking so long to sign these players is that they are low-balling and offering much less than what the selling teams are asking. That is what happened at Sporting (with Patricio and De Carvalho didn’t like it) and even last year with Neves, who was expected to go for a lot less than we paid for him.
So I will not worry anymore about what is taking so long. It is a negotiating strategy to get the most bang for the buck.
And why does everyone say we are buying the league or whatever? We aren’t paying, or rumoured to be paying, any more than many other teams. Are we supposed to know our place and just spend enough to survive?
BREAKING NEWS!
ENGLAND WIN PENALTY SHOOT OUT!
I’ve just watched the UNICEF Soccer aid match at Old Trafford.
I must say that I was impressed with the standard of football on show.
And a very worthwhile cause.
Particularly chuffed that Neil, the no-hoper from the Inbetweeners scored the winning penalty.
Is this an omen?
I liked the briefcase wanker the most.
England are the West Ham of international football.
Fifa rank England 13
In premier West Ham are 13
Oh dear, but I think its about right.
Does anyone know why I have to keep putting my name, email, etc in everytime I post all of a sudden. What have I done wrong? Any answers in simple, technophobe friendly, terms please.
Have you cleared out cookies or are you using a different computer
No on both counts Tipton.
Me too Wolfie – perhaps we have committed some foul indiscretion that we don’t even know about. Maybe it’s because we don’t live within a 20 mile radius of Molineux? Maybe its because we don’t speak with a Black Country accent? Or because we both have ‘wolf’ in our blogger’s names? Or perhaps it is because no-one likes us …..;-(
The last one, definitely!!!
Predictable – I only put the last bit in to see if you’d bite. ?
Anyway I come from Millwall territory so the old song ‘No-one likes us, we don’t care’ is kind of my theme song.
Talking of being paranoid that reminds me of a sketch from Not The Nine O’Clock News where it was the AGM of the South Croydon Paranoia Society and no-one wanted to be the first to sit down. Then the chairperson’s opening address starts off with “I know what people have been saying about me – and I know who you are!”.
Brilliant.
OODCL
It’s happening to me too – and on my usual tablet. I haven’t done anything cookies wise but the site isn’t remembering my details.
I hope you are having a great time.
Yes, thanks Exiled. Fab over here, although the weather has turned a bit manky. Only a temporary hiccup in the proceedings I’m sure. Just means I have to sit around drinking German beer. Sad eh?
I’m with Bedders on this: it’s a conspiracy. And the edit function isn’t loading.
We’re all in the same boat, up shit creek without a poodle. I’m having to put my details in everytime too. Just a small inconvenience in this wonderful life as a Wolves fan.
Roll on the 11th August, Sky feck ups permitting, I want me Wolves back.
Unveiling of Sir Jack’s statue on Thursday at 11.00, two thumbs up as per the millennium play off final big screen. Anyone that was there will never forget that image, now it’s in bronze for posterity.
I have had to put my details in too, I’m wondering if the avatar will come up.
Yes it has and the edit function
N. A. S. A have today announced the discovery of a new planet in the outer Cosmos. The Planet Zong.on this planet they have detected life. A Little Green Man called Derek. Apparently Derek can take a fuckin great free kick from 25 yards. Sources reveal that Wolves are interested in signing him for £45 million quid and have dispatched a massive fuck off rocket to Planet Zong with some nice pictures of Wolverhampton in an effort to tempt Derek to the Premier League. Dereks agent, a sort of Eric Hall hybrid with 4 heads and 6 legs said ‘Wolves have made contact via an inter galactic channel and it looks encouraging. Derek likes the look of Wolverhampton and said it ay as big a fuckin shit hole as Sandwell. I will be having further talks with Jeff Shi on Tuesday’
It’s funny how knowing lots of others are having the same problem with their log-in details as I, makes me feel a whole lot better. Like a problem shared is a problem halved, kinda thing.
Is there a psychologist in the house????
Wolves officials came to TECHWORX yesterday to take delivery of the latest WOLVES Wolf’s heads that were presented to the players at the end of season dinner. This latest one is going on display in the Museum complete with LCD lights in its eyes. When your near the ground pop in and take a look. 15 in total were made by my son including one for Jeff Shi.
Well that was hard work. Went online and secured my first ever season ticket, in Billy Quiet W9.
Sorry, Twix: P170 was long gone.
Well done that man!
Enjoy the climb up them steps Dougie – its apparently good for your health! Mind you the steps are not as bad as those getting to the ‘quadrant’ in the Stan Cullis Upper. That climb is a bit like scaling the north face of the Eiger and they could do with installing some oxygen masks along the way as the altitude increases and the air gets increasingly rarified!
Thanks Bedders. I’ll be looking forward to a pint of Banks’s at the top!
You could always use the lift Bedders. At the gate just ask a steward and hey presto a magic lift appears that they don’t tell us about. We’ve used it for Jen De Wolf’s dodgy legs.
I only have a scabby 160 points so have to wait until Friday!!!
If the Afobe sale to Stoke goes ahead – as seems likely according to the press – then I for one have just lost a little bit of love for my club.
I didn’t think we were still run by people with the Morgan/Moxey mindset of anything for a quick buck.
I find the whole thing distasteful and disgraceful. I don’t want to hear “yes but we made a quick £2m profit” or “we can do better” – for me treating Afobe like this is appalling and sends a message out to everyone in football that Wolves are a callous, money-grabbing club willing to do anything for a quick profit and of course ‘we can do better’ but that applies to every single player on our books including Neves. I’ve already read comments this morning saying that our Chinese owners must be hard up for cash if we are this desperate for money.
No doubt the Afobe haters on here will not be in the slightest bit bothered by this and that’s their opinion. For me though this is the first sign from our owners and management that maybe we are not as great a club as we had thought this past 12-24 months.
OODCL
Doesn’t bother me in the slightest as there are better strikers out there.
Besides, we now have an extra 2 million that we can use.
Joking aside mate, it does not seem right to be honest. I wait with interest.
I tend to agree with you Bedders.
It seems like we’re doing it just to show that we’re smart wheeler dealers and can make money out of nothing. I also concur that Benik, if this does go through, will have been treated extremely shoddily.
I sincerely hope that, if the deal happens, there will turn out to be a rational and acceptable explanation for it.
Otherwise, one is tempted to ask
Why?
I am a tad baffled to be honest, as I did not believe we played things this way anymore.
It makes me think that Benik himself may have something to do with this. Otherwise, why?
I too will be interested in a reason being given.
I hope there is a simple and believable explanation for selling on Afobe so quickly; but I can’t think of one at the moment that isn’t a bit fishy.
I think Arsenal signed Clive Allen one summer and sold him before the season started. That was a long time ago.
I’d say Afobe was told he would probably spend most of next season on the bench… or he could go to stoke! We may also be doing a little more business with stoke too , for me , I was reasonably pleased when he joined but I’m not too fussed if he goes now tbh , it’s business at the end of the day . It’s nice to remember players like Richards, Munro , wagstaff etc signing long contracts and staying but let’s be honest if Afobe ( or any of our current darlings) were being chased by Barca or Real Madrid then I’d dare say they would be off , it’s just the way football is now and the bigger we get , the more used to it we will have to be I’m afraid.
If it does go through though the wot be any more Bournemouth fans giving us the “kerching “ or “ nice bit of business “ tweets
Utw
Is it just me or does anybody else think that we have the new kit ready but we want a new signing to show it off but just can’t get any bugger to sign yet !!
Lopetegui new Real Madrid coach !
Bet he wished he’d joined us though

Welcome to the Wolves Raul!
Well … we’re off … oh my goodness….. this is getting more enjoyable by the minute … another Ruben Neves marquee signing … and twice as good by the Twixfix proportional fee calculator … I just cor wait to get that fixture list on Thursday… and start planning them away days…..
I went to view a house on a Native American reservation.
“I like it” I said. “Does it come with running water?”
“Fuck off” He replied. “Get your own wife.”
So with Afobe bought and then five minutes later sold and with Bonatini returned to Saudi Arabia our new signing Raúl Jimenez is by my reckoning along with Rafa Mir our only striker. We MUST buy another quality striker or else like last season we will be short up top and many of the glorious chances carved out by our quality approach play will go to waste. Last season we scored 83 goals but could have had well over 100.
OODCL
Don’t think Raul will be our only striker signing 🙂
First new signing with no doubt more to follow. I’m also confused as to the Afobe move unless, as Marney says, it’s not wanting to sit on the bench most of the time. If that’s the case then I can’t really blame him.
I agree I think another striker will follow.
UTW
Although certainly not a Benik ‘hater’, I am in the camp of those who thought he wasn’t really up to the standard of where we aim to be, within the next couple of seasons. With the arrival of Raul and I’m sure one or two others, I figure it’s best for Benik himself to be playing week in week out in a side I see challenging at the top end of the Championship next year.
I don’t think we bought him with a view to making a quick buck. In fact, I thought 10mill was probably a bit over the top, so am surprised Stoke would run to 12.
Either way, I see it as a win win situation, for both us and, in the medium term, Benik himself.
I agree with all that you say Wolfstroker, although it is a bit of a surprise too that he’s an in and out in a matters of a week or so…. still there’s always a rationale behind most actions.
For me …what this shows is that FOSUN aren’t interested in dipping their toe in the water …they’re going for the Full Monty … we’re not promoted to be in a relegation battle … we’re up for a European Slot in 2019.
Bring it on boys … can someone help me out and tell me where the best odds can be got…
i’m desperate to do a Brompton…
Why would anyone feel sorry for Afobe when he’s probably pocketed two extremely handsome signing on fees in as many weeks? As his value increased slightly from January when his to us fee was set, the hierarchy would have been mad not to complete the deal.
I hope our new boy Raul is a European Mexican, and not a Houston Mexican, otherwise he will be out building fences for me, and be knackered come Saturdays!!
Afobe to Stoke ………..mmmmmm………….To be honest I have doubted whether he could step up to the Premier League that said he wasn’t given a decent run of games at Bournmouth he was used mainly from the bench.
One thing is certain he helped us get over the line re: promotion and the title and he must be given due credit for that.
He will score goals in the Championship that’s for sure and I think Stoke with his signing have made a coup and seem to be determined to bounce straight back up.
All the best Benny and thanks for all your goals, and commitment in helping us gain promotion.
1 down, 5 more to go……..
Bring it on Fosun, I’ll be patient while you all go quietly on with your work.
Onwards & Upwards Fosun.
And yet more leaks…
If that is the new kit then I for one am happy. Much more old gold than orange or amber. And with Blyth as sponsors at least we will have spirit.
OODCL
And an away leak……
There’s also a guy works down our chipshop swears he’s Elvis.
Again I’d be more than happy if that is our away kit. Proper white with gold and black touches. Don’t want fluorescent pink or toxic neon lime green or any other silly colour. And if our players could all wear black boots please that would be good too.
Just read inside track in E&S on Raul its not very convincing in fact it’s says he’s not worth £10 million never mind £30 million……..probably explains why he’s on loan.
He sounds like a gamble what we need is a proven goal scorerer…..!
Some bloke on Wolves Rumours mentioned, that Wolves had been to his dad’s company Blythe the other week talking about sponsoship and that he didn’t think Tsiantao the chinese beer folk were full signed up. With this coming out, I wonder if this is a piss take by someone who read it and put one and one together and came up with a bit of photoshopping.
Whatever the result, we’ve come a long way in 12 Months, where’s the bookies.
Morning all,
Long time reader, very occasional poster. Moving back to the west mids this summer after more than 20 years away. Season ticket secured this morning. Would love to join in with your bloggers get-togethers once the season is underway so hopefully you’ll advertise them prominently. UTW.
Cheers
Stephen
Welcome Stephen – I particularly like the way your first name is spelt the correct way. I mean if a certain Mr Bull, not to mention one of my sons, is Stephen with a ‘ph’ rather than a ‘v’ then it must be right!
Where is your season ticket – apparently you can tell a lot about a Wolves fan from where he sits/stands at Molineux?
p.s. the last time the DOOGooder bought a round it was pre-decimalisation – mind you the last time Clive bought a round was still back in the days of barter before money had been invented.
OODCL
A warm Texas welcome, Stephen P.
You do realize that you will soon be known as just Stephen, as this lot on here will be taking the P out of you!
Not me though, heaven forbid!
I am the only sane, serious one on this blog, never having been known to swear or offend or be controversial, never.
FOwb
Cheers all…hadn’t given the name much thought!
Seat is in the Stephen Bull stand (still the new stand/John Ireland to me most of the time). Would have preferred to be in one of the ends but just happy that I have a guaranteed ticket for every home game without having to keep on top of dates tickets are released and all that faff. It’s almost part of the homecoming anyway to be back in the John Ireland as it’s where i had my season ticket all through the 90s. Still, hope to shift onto the south bank after they’ve renovated it.
Hope to join some of you in a round soon when we’re celebrating premier league victories!
Cheers,
Stephen
Welcome Stephen.
That sounds fine but you do realise that it’s your round don’t you?
So W88 as new shirt sponsor!! Have to be honest I’ve never heard of them but they’re big in Asia! Well according to quick search online they are anyway!
W88 new sponsors – so not Blyth and so the leaked new kit pictures are presumably more garbage and we will still have to wait for the official launch.
Why do people put out fake news?
OODCL
I’m pretty certain that now we have the sponsor, they will be launching soon.
I will call you on the 22nd June, 1 minute past 10.
Talking of bookies stu … just went to put some money on wolves to win the Prem and William hills only offered 66//1 !!!
Burnley were 500 /1 Brighton and a few others 1000/1
Had to go to bet Fred for 250/1
Price dropping like a stone for some reason
Bet 365 have us 300/1 to win it.
Loved your comments on the Clayheads page.
A few weeks back with Bet365 I got 400-1 for us to win the PL and 50-1 for us to finish in the top 4. I invested a decent chunk of last season’s winnings so I get £22,500 if, sorry when we win the PL!
Regarding Afobe – I don’t think whether he is good enough for the premiership or if he makes a few quid from the move comes into it.
I think this is more about honesty and integrity and treating people in the right and proper manner – hopefully the club are beyond reproach in all of those things – but until we have it explained to us exactly what happened with Benik it is difficult to comment. If he has just been used as a pawn to make an extra £2M then I would be very disappointed. Let’s hope for a bit of transparency from the club on this matter.
We’ve gone from the Money Shop to Online Gambling . . . . . . I guess it IS just about money.
Who was it before The Money Shop?
Before all the ballyhoo of The World Cup starts, I am going to put in my two pennyworth about England and our chances.
It seems to be the done thing to knock England at the slightest opportunity (and by Jiminy they have given us the opportunity many times!).
I’m an England fan and always will be. And I admire the way that Gareth Southgate has tried to change, not only the way England play, but also the whole ethos of the team and the way they go about their business on, and off, the field.
Nuno tried it at Wolves and, by God it worked!
The England players seem to be actually enjoying playing for their country instead of being shit scared to do anything in case they drop a bollock.
You’ve got to remember that Southgate has a limited pool of players to choose from. He can’t just go out and buy a ready made star from Unreal Madrid or Barcefica to plug a gap in his defence.
And, as such, I think he’s picked a decent squad with a fair amount of talent and a good deal of heart.
Are we going to win The World Cup?
Almost certainly not.
Are we going to give a good account of ourselves and return home with heads held high?
Yeah, I think we are.
That’s my opinion, now back to more important things like the new kit and the fixture list for next season.
I’m with you all the way, Doogle.
I will be in front of the telly in me Wolves top ( nothing else ) cheering on my fellow countrymen.
However, having seen the crap from other countries, I feel we have a reasonable chance.
Not really looking forward to the opening game, though.
Russia v Saudi Arabia.
The pulses are racing!!
On another note I got to watch part of the recent game between Houston Dynamo and Colorado somethings.
Tim Howard in goal for Colorado, with I think Price scurrying around.
It was Sunday League standard at best, and that’s being kind!
Absolute garbage.
Fell asleep at 2-0 to Houston and I don’t know what the final score ended up being, and I don’t really care.
Crappo!
Roll on the Prem start!
Welcome Stephen. Looking forward to seeing you in the North Bank Bar.
W88? We’ve got a thermonuclear warhead then.
Lol … nice one stu
Have you ever met Andrew Findlay ( he’s head of analysis at. Wolves
No matt, don’t recognise the name.

Andrew was at Blackburn Man U then Man City but now he’s finally at A big club
Just thought it might be a good in road for the blog . If any of the boys want to get him on here for a piece then I think I can organise it when the new season starts
Nice one. I would like to read a bit about analysis of games and how it is used.

W88 . . . ?
For a brief moment I read it as WBA!
I feared for Clive’s heart.
Nobody knows what W88 is so if someone asks you, just make something up.
It’s a beer, it’s a cookie, it’s a television network in Asia.
Let your imagination run wild.
I do.
It is a united States thermonuclear warhead.
Or
A company that offers a wide range of online innovative and opportunities in Sports, Live Casino, Slots, Lottery, P2P that are easy to play and entertaining.
Apparently.
Better than money shop
Interesting!
I’ve just googled W88 and got this.
Not quite a thermonuclear warhead but not exactly welcoming either.
The fact there’s a W in there name will do for me……….but yeah haven’t a Scooby doo who or what they do better than Money Shop 2000 per cent interest.
Are they a gambling firm yes is it moral well we all have a brain in our head ( well most of us ) so it doesn’t take a rocket science…..tist to work out the chances of winning are slim.
Any ways there paying good money to have there name on the most famous and beautiful shirt in world football so they’ll do for me.
I’m surprised you’ve all missed the obvious regards our new sponsors ….. W88..
W … obviously Wolverhampton (Wanderers)
88 ….. the number of points we’re getting in the Premier league this season… !!
Where’s that bookies…
Fixtures out.
Only 3 games per month. A big change.
Fair start. Big teams seem evenly spaced.

Yes, you old fart, I will be there.
Providing someone gets me a ticket, of course.
I wondered who stuck this on the back of my car in Sunderland!
Sheer vandalism!
What kind of person would stoop so low?
Not me, I cor bend that far, with me bad back an all!!
Reminds me of the Wolves fan who, when asked by his doctor “How’s your bowels?” replied “I ay played for years, I cor stoop!”
Just watched our new goalkeeper save Portugal’s face with a great save. I’m just now going through the back posts.
Thanks Bedders. I look forward to working with Ian (and Stu) in delivering the next Bloggers Ball Bash baby – too many Bs?
Dearest Bedders
Thank you so much for the nomination. Firstly I will have to see if Barry Manilow is playing anywhere that weekend and secondly I need to see when the 2019 trainspotters convention is as that is usually early May. I will be in touch 🙂
Brilliant. ?
Saw a good one the other week. B2386FD4 I think it was.
I’m only agreeing to this so long as you keep your promise to buy me a drink…
So let’s have it in writing Bedders…
“ I promise to get the Twixfixes a large glass of wine each on the evening of the Bloggers Ballbash” …
In the words of the Four Tops …. “I’ll be there…”
There seems to be aproblem to post this … have you been meddling with the software..?
I promise to get the Twixfixes a large glass of wine each at the 2019 Bloggers Ball Bash,
Yours faithfully

Good luck PORTUGAL tonight. Hope they win for NUNO’s sake. If they lose and he is watching I can see his fucking telly going out the window……. Oh and up for a few beers at any bloggers bash next season as we celebrate European qualification and subsequent domination. Fuck Brexit we are joining the Euro party. Honest.
Iv’e had it on reliable information,
Rui Patricio, (and his sex Therapist wife who recommended the players masturbate before each game)- not on the pitch.
Bruno Fernandes Neves’s next partner in midfield, who’s playing really well.
Gogolvo Guedes the striker (pretty shite at the moment)
Will all be at the 2019 ballbash straight after the game where we clinch the Premier league and entry to loads of European Euro’s.
Trust you to spoil it regarding Rui’s wife …
A sex therapist I went to see said the best way to arouse a man is to get your partner to lick your ears for ten minutes……………personally I think it’s bollocks!!!
I do believe the Spain manager is Gary Davies off 1980’s Radio 1.Will DLT re appear as manager of Scunthorpe United? Only time will tell. Time for another lager….
Now a Season Ticket Holder in Steve Bull Upper. Get in!
Great news Steve… well Done mate … fantastic commitment…..
Bostin Stevie boy. ST holder and loads of away games to look forward to.
Get the number to me and I will bump up yer points.
This World Cup is a bit like Auditions or trials.
Happy Scouting!!!!!
I noticed Siggy came on for Iceland against the Argies. Couldn’t score for anything with us and couldn’t stop scoring for Molde.
Early days in WC but already some dodgy penalties. These buggers are looking for any sort of contact and go down quicker than a Camborne girl on Trevithick Day. I hate to think how they’d react if Clampo caught them with a good one.
I just watched the tribute to Sir Jack on The Official Wolves site, and was absolutely disgusted that so much of it was fuckin’ greasel spouting forth his bollocks, sitting on his sofa, trying to look sophisticated, with a Ralph Lauren swearter and a piano in the background!
Fuckin’ tosser, the only organ he’s ever played is the tiny one between his thunder thighs.
Can we not be rid of this ghost from the past, please?
If it were Russia, all traces of him would be obliterated from the record books.
Silverbug in, Cavalerio out then it appears.
Cav out. The “Mendes churn”? Some out, some in. Just allows him to make him some agent fees?
And the club have no say on the matter?
The only reason Cav will go is if Nuno and Jeff want him to go, nothing to do with Mendes, he is just the supplier as Jeff has pointed out.
I love Cav but if Nuno doesn’t think he is good enough for the premier so be it.
Has’nt done too bad so far has he?
Yes, I’m theorizing that it is a way, with Jeff’s blessing, to pay Mendes without actually paying him. So it’s all above board and he, in effect, makes some money that he wouldn’t otherwise.
A quid pro quo, if you will. I’ll help you get some players that normally wouldn’t join your club and you let me sell some players for an agent’s fee that you ordinarily wouldn’t.
What!!!!! Methinks you theorize too much Tim!
Yeah, well, I’m bored.
You must be pal, try dreaming of when Coady lifts the premiership trophy at the end of the season, that should stop you getting bored!:-)
A couple years ago I told a Liverpool fan who used to live in my building but moved back to Ireland that Wolves were bought by a big Chinese corporation that had big plans for them.
He laughed because, apparently, Wolves money isn’t as good as Liverpool’s.
Then midway through last season I told him he better watch out because next season, Wolves are going to make an assault on the top 4.
I got back a “Top 4. Ha ha ha ha”.
So I am hoping against hope that we can get enough good players to put the fear of god into all of the top teams, especially Liverpool.
Well I was completely wrong about benik so I am now of the opinion we have joined the player merry go round and anything is possible but selling cav ! Really
Spikeyboy,
Would you be disappointed if we went for players like – Gelson Martins from Sporting Lisbon & Goncalo Guedes of PSG in his place?
Also, something troubling me:-
I heard Laurie Dalrymple say we were going to take the option on Diogo Jota, does anyone on this blog recall seeing anything at all that we had signed him. I scan the Wolvesnewsnow, Wolves rumours, Sky and BBC, but I truthfully don’t recall anything concrete.
An update or confirmation would be appreciated.
Please, I love that guy.
With you on that one Stu. Think the club should say something re Jota even if only to confirm that he is staying. Be bloody gutted if he leaves
As a dyed in the wool wolves man I suppose I have got used to seeing a certain level of player and I find it hard to believe even now after last season’s revelation that we can actually sign players of that talent so maybe cav was superb in the champ but we have moved on or are going to move on to way past his level which is quite simply mindblowing.
Is this really happening to wolverhampton wanderers am I dreaming ?
I would still like to send our ex players to the island where the prisoner was taken too when he retired so they can’t come back to get us.
I was thinking the same thing about Jota this morning. He has not been listed as one we have signed or sold.
I’m wondering if there is a timing issue or if he might be on the way out.
If he is, then this is going to be one hell of a summer and one hell of a team this upcoming season.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
New shirt and Jota signing reveal?
Maybe that is what they are waiting for.
Hope I didn’t ruin the surprise.
The best player I saw last season, other than in a Wolves shirt, was James Maddison of Norwich. To me he would be ideal cover for Neves for when he is injured or suspended or rested. Available for £20m which both Southampton and Leicester have offered. I think we would be mad not to sign him. English, young, very talented and classy.
OODCL
I get the feeling we may be moving past Madison’s talents as good as i agree he is.
It might be time to put my £100 on us to win the BLOODY thing as pie in the sky as it may seem
I hope you are right spikeyboy but I would feel a lot happier if some of these “we are looking at a higher level” players actually materialised. Afobe? Nah we can do better. Cavaleiro? Nah there is better out there. Maddison? Nah we don’t need him cos we are going to be bringing in far better.
All great and fabulous but when? And more to the point – are we really? Thus far we have only brought in Jimenez who, to be frank, didn’t fill me with eager anticipation when he came on as a 66th minute sub for Mexico yesterday.
OODCL
Jimenez was playing out of position for a team that was trying to prevent a goal.
What did you expect?
I expected to see something better for someone we are reputedly having an option to buy for £30m+.
I am not knocking him and accept that playing internationally can be very different from playing club football and of course in Nuno we trust etc.
I just thought that whilst he looked to be adept at holding the ball up and his close control looked decent I thought he looked one paced, which is not what you need in the PL, and his passing left a bit to be desired. I was hoping to be excited like I was the first time I saw Jota or Boly or Neves but I wasn’t. I was left thinking maybe we should have kept Afobe.
Perhaps I’d have liked him better if he had scored two or three against the Germans.
OODCL
Yeah, but I get the feeling he is just insurance. I don’t see them paying that much for him, considering what Silva is going for and how he is rated, compared to Silva.
It’s just for one year and by then, if we are as good as Fosun expect, we will be able to attract better international players.
Still though, I think he has a lot of potential off the bench and could be a standout sub, like, wait for it, Cavaleiro.
Hmm. I wonder……
Anyway, as I said before, I think we have 3 players who are surefire Premier League stars. Jota, Neves and Boly. I can see any other player being usurped or even sold, if someone better comes along.
Lap it up boys and girls.
Lap it up.
They’ve even got Harry Kane down for Golden boot.
Upwards and backwards.

Well theres a turnup, Mexico 1 Germany 0. The krauts never did very well in Russia did they, it
was close but another defeat in the east.
The Mexican style is spot on Nuno, pace on the break, bring it on. Really enjoying this world cup so far, depends a bit on tonihtd performance & result against the mighty Tunisia.
4.0 to engerrrrland for me, ever the optimist!!
As Tim alluded to above, the new kit is finally being rolled out on 21st June, interested to take a peek, hope it’s a good un, my whathouse one is a bit jaded.
Poland fans have gone on a rampage in Russia …………..Police report 350 cars have so far been washed hoovered and polished.
Love it keep em coming
I remember a few months back when three “Drunken Scottish thugs” attacked the England Rugby coach, there was such a feckin outcry of disbelief and disgust.
I bet this feckin article gets swept to one side PDQ.
Just saying………

Wolves to announce Patricio at 5:00 PM, according to the know it all tweeter.
He’s the one who says he knows Patricio personally.
Tim Spiers has just announced, Patricio signed on a free transfer.
Fooookin elll boys and girls.
Looks like we’ve got him!!! Can someone please confirm that I’m not actually dreaming?????
Come over my house and I’ll pinch you. 🙂
Sorry,
Very Cheeky..
4 year deal too, Patricio, not the pinching.
Fetch my medicine nurse
What a thing to say! So I get a hug & a pinch now? I’ll have to watch out next time I spot you in the NB bar then!
Couple more exciting signings now please Wolves.
Biggest signing since Andy Gray or bigger ???
Stu just bitter cos the fuckin Jocks dae qualify. We did and won, Cheer up Gordon Strachan. Oh what can it mean…
Enjoyed watching England tonight
Loads of wolves flags
Also I enjoyed watching a team that wanted to play football and achieve something as opposed to justifying a price tag as an individual
Wolves and England.. proud
Not often we can say that !
Anyone else see “Gornal Wolves” tonight
Fekin Wolves Ay We
Yes, me saw it, right behind the goal we got the winner in.
I also saw Sterling scurrying around like a headless, clueless, can’t beat anybody chicken, one legged Henderson, donkey McGuire and some pretty crap football.
Still, we won a match in the World Cup Finals, which our younger generation will never have seen, the Brazillions, Spanish, Argies and Portuguese only drewed, and the Germ mans lost, so, so far, so good.
And, since I live in the capital of Mexico, there were one or two smiley faces around yesterday and this morning!!
Sweet revenge beating Tunisia tonight I spent 4 days on the bog there 15 years ago
Never again will I set foot there, my arse is still sore!
Can anybody explain how rui ( if indeed he did) can rip up his contract and sign for us ?
Is that possible or is there going to be a long drawn out court case to negotiate
Utw
There are conditions under which a player can void a contract. There are not hard and fast rules but in this case, the players were attacked at the training ground and de Carvalho insulted them and either suspended or threatened to suspend them.
This is possibly a valid case for voiding their contracts but the arbitrator will have to decide.
By pig or by hog,
I’ll bee 300th on this blog!!
Need a life, World Cup is boring.
So cav is staying ?
Thanks Tim , looks like there’s quite a few players ripping up their contracts actually and iv just read that the problem seems to be between Mendes and cavelhal! Interesting to see how this progresses though!
Utw
Oooo Ivan caveliero
Never gives the ball away
Just a thought, when England win the World Cup , will we then start buying a load of English players ?
If Portugal win the cup, I have a sneaky suspicion little Ronnie will turn up at The Mol, on a free.
You read it first here, on Fantasy Island, Texas!
It’s a no go ….he wanted the video screen size increased 10 fold, to get all of his head in the picture, and the services of 15 masseurs 5 for his body and 10 for his ego. There’s conceit then there’s Ronaldo.
I see that our new ‘keeper has learned a thing or two from Gordon Banks.
What a save!
1 minute 45 seconds in.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44439069
RIP Ernie Hunt, our thoughts are with your family and our thanks go to you for the memories.
Forget Ronaldo’s free kick, your flick up over your back then volley will stay in my mind forever.
Loved Ernie back in the day. From 1965 to 1967 (I think) he was one of my favourite Wolves players and of course part of the 1966/67 promotion winning team under Ronnie Allen. I remember he was always big mates with Mike Bailey and I think they opened up a restaurant together back then. R.I.P. Ernie Hunt and thank you for the fabulous times and memories.
RIP Ernie Hunt yes him and Mike Bailey opened a restaurant together in Birmingham.
Cheeseburger of death, it’s arrived mate,.
Not many surprises here then.
One day next week I am taking a day off work and BOG is taking a day off lounging around all day doing nothing and we are driving the 200 mile/4 hour round trip to Molineux and back to visit the club shop and buy our new shirts for next season. And some people say football fans are mad.
OODCL
WWFC through and through Bedders,
They say football fans are mad for a good reason.
The new Home shirt won’t be in the shop until the 6th of July and the Away one on the 12th July.
Children under 6 years won’t get one until September due to a Worldwide problem with infant strips for Adidas, so the Grandkids will have to wait too.
Travelling up after the 12th will ensure you have an opportunity for the full range.
You can pre-order from today, but I don’t think you want to chance dodgy sizes.
Dates noted thanks. You are right about online ordering and sizes – I mean am I an XS or an S? lol
Will have to wait till after my holiday so looking now at week commencing 16 July – a few days after England lift the World Cup!
OODCL
What … oh sorry …height ..yes….
Just a joke mate….
Let’s us know when you’re up this way for the shirt..
Also the away kit, looks very German, English, Spanish with the distinct adidas touch.
The kids one looks amazing, love the away one.
My Grandchildren will be having one of them beauties.
Well I think the new shirt looks shit
Don’t mind Adidas but that great big W looks awful
Hope the advertising ain’t on the training shirt
Modelled on that absolute disgrace of a human PEPE.
It is rather a large W but I like colour.
The kids shirt look better though.
Of all the large letters you can choose from, a large W seems to be the most acceptable.
Just thank our lord and saviour that our sponsor isn’t Walgreens Boots Alliance.
You will have to explain that as I don’t follow lower league teams.
New kit is fucking ace love the colour defiantly better than the burnt orange look of previous kits and well adidas if adidas made beer there’s no probably about it………..it would be the best beer in the world.
The following advertising is permitted:
1. Playing kit
a. On the clothing of a Player on the field of play, the following areas shall be
permitted to be used for advertising
• One single area not exceeding 250 square centimetres on the front
of the shirt (see Fig 10, page 18);
So this excerpt says that the big W and W88 beneath it is restricted to 250 square centimeters
Which is less than 40 square inches which is 6 inches by 6 1/2 inches, approx.
Tim
Lord and Saviour presumeably being Nuno and Jeff respectively??
Hope none of that religion stuff is creeping onto this blog.
Actually, I’m atheist.
Says the guy who regularly makes racist jokes?
Seriously?
My weekend was made exceptionally great by pictures of MARADONNA up in the stands crying his fat fuckin eyes out after the Argy 3-0 defeat last night. Terry Butcher on 5 live this morning was asked about that and he said ‘where can I get the DVD’. 32 years on and he hadn’t forgot the ‘hand of God’. Long and bitter memories in football!
Hand of God my arse.
Looked moe like a tub of lard.
Excellent Stu. Who do I hate the most? Only Lee Hughes comes in the same bracket.
Stu,
Photo is fekin brilliant – at first I thought it photo-shopped then realised he is a little fat fek.
Cheesie,
Bob Taylor comes a close 2nd but Useless wins hands down for me.
Tim Spiers has just posted on twitter, “Wolves want Ruben Vinagre back on loan next season”
Yesssssss,
I love the kid.

Ikeme has just tweeted that he’s in complete remission. The best news for the big guy!!
Great to hear.
Yes, brilliant news Border Wolf.
He said he was in remission, not complete remission. There is a difference.
Agreed Border Wolf, Fantastico.
One Carl Ikeme, well done Carl, here is the statement from Carl
Read the statement Tim! It says complete remission! Can’t you just take good news for once??!!!
Yes. Sorry. The article I read just said remission.
Excellent news about Carl!!!!!!!
I know that complete remission does not necessarily mean ‘cured’ but he’s on the way back and all at DOOGooder mansions wish him the very best in the future.
I’m raising a glass of Wiltshire Gold Ale even as I type this.
Cheers mate!
Great about Carl. Absolutely thrilled. The bloke must have gone through some terrible highs and lows. Back between the sticks asap. Part of the Wolf pack and the Pack helped him through. More thrills and the Germans on their way out if they doe score 2nd half. Brilliant. Like Sandwell Town ‘the gaps getting longer. Deeper and wider. Bigger than ever…. Getting bigger everyday..bigger every day’…..
Really pleased to hear the good news about Carl. Such a pity that he couldn’t make an appearance at Molineux when we got the trophy as he would have got a fabulous reception. Hope you go from strength to strength big man.
Bloody Germans last kick again. At least The Royal Family will be celebrating.
Firstly absolutely fantastic news about Carl, hope we see you very soon back down the Mol
Put a few quid on the pesky Gerries gooin um tonight – will try again next week.
Here’s wishing for a stonkin win for our boys later today.
Ps Great strip & looking forward to my first shirt for over two years now The Moany Shat has fekt orffffff
UTW FTWB
Come on the Great Britain side.
5-0 at half time against this team, not good enough.
If the Panama team don’t get 2 sent off, then that Jeff Shi’s a chanaman.
A proud day to be British.
England so need Cody in the back 3
Three Bedford Wolves met up for the England game today at the Bedford Wolf estate. Combined age 197.
In 1966 as we watched Engerland lift the Jules Rimet trophy our combined ages were 41 – me 9, BOG 13 and Rhys Lightning 19.
We just might be about to witness another historic tournament.
P.S. Raheem Sterling is to me the Dave Edwards of the England set up. Can’t control a ball to save his life but runs around headless chicken style and some people seem to love and rate him.
OODCL
Think that is an insult to Dave Edwards myself
I would imagine it was meant to be TE.
Can we have another article please, the comments are going a bit off track.
When BBC showed the last time we played Belgium in the World Cup there was a 2 second view of Steve Bull on the bench.
About to watch Portugal v Iran and so of course our latest acquisition Patricio. We are told a good keeper is worth 12 extra points. Given that and 36 points is usually enough to stay up we’re already one-third of the way to staying up. Just a random thought.
Our new goalie belting out the Portuguese anthem. Fucking marvellous.
How good has Saiss looked in defence tonight. That’s our third defender alongside Boly and Coady.
Has to be done guys sorry…
Kit launch in the Mander centre between 4pm – 8pm on July 4th, several players in attendance. Worth a selfie or two.
Can you get them to put it back for a week Stu as we will be on holiday?, I can collect my new shirt when we get back then model it for them, must be worth a few bob or at least a pie and a pint!
Ken,
Iv’e had a word with Lord Mander of the centre, he will sort it. Just drop him a line with when your’e back and he will send charabanc round to pick you up. Anyway last time something like that happened Clive thought we were getting him a ticket for the last home game.
How many feckin holidays do you get? Youm always away.
We have to fit a few in in the close season, we won’t get another till the international break in September!
Just been reading how England fans have been banned from singing any pro-Brexit songs at the Belguim game for fear of being ‘political’ and upsetting the Belgians (Brussels being the HQ of the EU of course).
In other news the song ‘My garden shed’ has been banned from all grounds next season for fear of upsetting the local timber merchants and garden equipment suppliers and making them feel inferior. ‘Shit ground, no fans’ has similarly been outlawed for mocking minorities. ‘We’ve got Neves’ has been banned in case it comes across as elitist, any song mentioning ‘Bully’ is out in case it promotes bullying in schools and finally any song including the words ‘Wolves’ or ‘Wolverhampton’ are a no-no too in case they put the fear of God into opposing fans and players and make them quake in their boots.
You gotta larf eh?
That’s if you are allowed to laugh these days.
Some arseholes would probably take offence at people laughing and be suitably offended and outraged.
OODCL
Please Please don’t let them ban………
NEIL WARNOCK IS A WANKER IS A WANKER
NEIL WARNOCK IS A WANKER IS A WANKER
There has to be some fun at the Cardiff games!
Bedders,
Good news about the songs at Chelsea we get The Liquidator – fehookin result.
Derdula, derdula, derdula, derdula,
Clive from Houston, We’re Wolves
Any song containing the word ‘derdula’ is also banned.
OODCL
Lowves,
Fun in Cardiff? Honestly, Fun in Cardiff?
The last twice I’ve been in Cardiff I watched:
A) the mighty Wolves fek Neil over when lording it over Sheffield
B) the current Wolves then fect him, him team, his directors, the referee/line’o’s & 20,000 fans when they lost after getting 2 peno’s after 93 minutes
Can’t wait for the third instalment.
Yep I was there Rickrack , but that was ecstasy ( the emotion not the drug) the fun is taking the piss out of Colin!
All we are saying
Is give us a new article
My fingers is getting worn out keep scrolling down past 350+ posts.
OODCL
There is a God then!
And he’s certainly not Teutonic.
I haven’t laughed so much in a long while.
South Korea’s second was a peach.
And me Bedders, prediction league results would be good. In Falleta at the moment found a bar for tomorrow night, on the board outside it says Germans welcome, be great to see a few.
There are no German bombers in the air………………………………………………
😉
OODCL
p.s. Falleta? As in “I just falleta bed”?
Felleta, Malta. Nob!
I thought it was Valletta – or is that a dance?
Enjoy Malta – never been but told it’s very nice. And there is a longstanding Wolves Supporters Club on Malta.
OODCL
Excuse me Mr Bedders, what gives you the right to call yourself a Maltesers? My wife was born in Senglea one of the three cities in Malta although she came to England when very small as her dad was in the British Navy. So I am a Malteser by marriage. Please desist from this impersonation, or I will report you to immigration control.
ps yes it is a beautiful island.
I was meaning Maltesers the chocolates on the basis that I am similarly sweet and yummy.
Do you think I’ve been spending too much time in the hot sun without wearing a hat?
Malta rules!
OODCL
Or pretend to be from Mars!!!
My uncle was a Martian…….at least he stuck a cucumber through a neighbour’s letterbox and said “hello missus I’m a Martian”
Good old Doddy.
Iv’e been to Malta a few times and I don’t recall any “Malta rules”
Spent a lot of time there as a kid, chatting up a girl called Carmen, maybe you know her Ken? She used to have braces, (not on her teeth, she used to wear them)
My dad was there during the war, well, when I say there, what I actually mean was he was in the Luftwaffe.
A Scottish Luftwaffe pilot, those bloody Scots get everywhere.
I liked the Russian celebration of Germany going out.Thanks to the Russians the war was won on the Eastern Front and the advance in to Germany including the liberation of Auswitz. On a lighter note the Russians mocked the Germans by proclaiming being undefeated against the Germans at home. Love it. Roll on the Colombians Tue night.
Bloody hell!
We’ve gone all white!
