Apathy is the word that best describes my feelings towards Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club at present.
As a consequence, I haven’t commented on the Benik Afobe Punch & Judy show, the Fans Parliament or any of the other drivel that’s seeped out this week.
I struggle to care because none of it changes what we’re seeing out on the pitch, which is something the club don’t seem to fathom.
Midtable is where we are and midtable remains where I think we’ll finish, floating in purgatory until the summer and dreaming of Nouha Dicko’s glorious return.
Preston
Simon Grayson’s team have steadily climbed the league after a slow start and will actually move above us with a victory tomorrow.
Forgive me Preston fans but they strike me as a boring outfit. Don’t score that many but keep things tight enough at the back to remain competitive at all times.
They’ve won four and lost just once in their last seven matches, so it looks like they’ve discovered that few extra per cent to emerge on the right side of the scoreline.
A player I’ve always liked is Paul Gallagher. He’s been around for ages now and once scored a bicycle kick for Plymouth to give them victory at Molineux back in 2009.
He’s not quick but has good delivery and is capable of the spectacular. I’ll be keeping a close eye on him again tomorrow. Garner, Browne and Reach are three other danger men.
Wolves
I’m on a downer about Joe Mason. I’ve seen him play four or five times now and still not a fan. Yes he scored against Bolton, but was a ghost from there on out.
Therefore it didn’t bother me that Kenny dropped him against Reading, but it does further fuel my suspicion we’ve spent big money (for us anyway) on a player whose no better than those we’ve already got.
I think Mason will play tomorrow, but I’d personally stick with 433/451, bringing Price in to anchor the midfield and pushing McDonald into the number 10 position.
Since most of our attacking talent is in plaster, we need our best players to come to the fore. I think Macca could give us something extra in the final third that he struggles to deliver playing so deep.
The gaffer
Predictions
There’s still enough in our team to realistically expect we can beat the majority of the clubs in and around or below us in the table.
Preston will be well organised and difficult to breakdown, which will likely give them a platform to expose our significant shortcomings at home.
I’m pretty certain it will be settled by the odd goal and I think I’ll just give us the edge.
2-1.
Up The Wolves!
100% agree about Mason. Not better then what we have.
I also think he’ll play tomorrow but I wouldn’t have him my team.
Based on those available I think the team above is best for us and I would also play KMAC as a CAM as opposed to CDM which is one of many baffling moves from KJ in relation to tactics and selections.
Like you I have lost faith in the current regime and until we can move forward with a new owner we will remain in purgatory.
Preston is a team we’re expected to beat. Mason starts the match alongside Sigurdarson in a 4-4-2.
Agreed John,
A close game looks on the cards.
Let’s hope we get a bit of entertainment instead of the recent turgid dross at the Mol.
We’re supposed to be at home for God’s sake!
COMBs!!
Cup of tea and a bun tomorrow . UTW
Can’t disagree that apathy reigns with this team and really can’t see Joe Mason changing my mind. For once I have to agree with the Pie Man as well. Afobe’s body language and the way his team mates preferred to pass the ball elsewhere spoke volumes to me. Hoping for James Henry to play a blinder and cheer me up.
Got a feeling that this will be another draw after taking the lead.
The days of Dicko, Afobe and Sako tearing teams apart already feels like a generation ago. Purgatory definitely feels like the right word.
Don’t forget – we have Zyro. If he can continue his pre-injury form we’ll forget all about Afobe (if he not gets us relegated from premier one time in a distant future). Last season some fans actually complained that Sako wasn’t consistent enough. Now when he’s gone he’s suddenly better than J. Graham. If we got the chance to choose between J. Graham and Sako, which player would we choose? I would actually choose J. Graham.
Thanks Thomas, I struggle to post lately so do admire you putting this together in a state of apathy, well they will fancy this big time, we are at home so may squeeze a win also so il stick to erm us 0 them 0
A cracking game tomorrow is needed to wash away all this apathy, talk of treacherous Afobe or Spin master General Poxey, to be quite honest I’m getting quite P’s off with it all. I go there to watch football, albeit a poor example at the moment but football it is. So 4-2 for me.
We are in limbo and we know we are and there is nothing we say or do will change it. So milking the moan cow will not solve anything for me so I’m moving onwards and upwards wherever that may take me.
Got my early bird ticket today, don’t anyone call me a scab because I paid half what anybody else on here under 65 will pay, it was also on the early bird saving as well.
That in my Scottish black book of getting out of buying a round is a winner against them Spineless Bathplugs on our board.
I’m a happy fan and £200 better off, thank you very much.
My protest will be, I’m Not going to Boro, and I won’t buy any merchandise or refreshments until we have new owners.
If the shirt is as shit as the current one I’m sticking with the one from last year which now has character and a few tea stains.
Onwards and Upwards Guys and Girls
Don’t let the Bastards grind you down.
My mate has Prostate cancer for Fecks sake, that’s something to be miffed about.

There is a fine line between staying positive and living in the land of make believe. Dean Saunders crossed this line many times in his post match summaries in fact it could be said he invaded the land of make believe rather like Napoleon invaded Russia. So Saturday let’s hope it’s not a case of the Emperor’s new clothes because as Napoleon and Deano found out it’s a long cold march back from Moscow to the river Nemen.
Reply to this in any order. Name in your own opinion the worst managers the WWFC have had over the years, don’t think results or style of play just your honest opinion.
Glenn Hoddle
Dean Saunders a tie for the worst ever people to be at the head.
I don’t know about apathy, there’s still over a third of the season to go and no-one can tell if one of the teams above us is going to do a Derby. You said it yourself: “There’s still enough in our team to realistically expect we can beat the majority of the clubs in and around or below us in the table.”
Do that and we might just make top six.
All we can do is keep plugging away and trying to win with the squad we have.
Florist fans are all upbeat after a long unbeaten run and they’re only 2 points above us.
All it would take is two or three wins on the trot again and everyone’s happy again.
Granted, that’s a pretty big “All”…
Don’t know why we bought Mason – because we sold Afobe?
We have to improve at home. Think we’ll grind out a result tomorrow.
Wolves 1 Preston 0
Ok! Give the man some time! Maybe he need time to adapt, and maybe he need better players around him to play out his potential.
Well I`m not going to use my season ticket tomorrow, its the rugby for me to watch instead of having an hour and a half drive home. I hope the lads win of course to ensure we don`t get dragged into the relegation mire.
So a crabby 2-1 win for me with a bum squeaky last ten minutes. Hope its a decent performance for those who bother to go.
We go because we support the club and not glory hunters, you can stick your rugby were the sun don’t shine, Wolves fan-bollocks you are.
Oooooh Matron ! 😉
I support the club.
However the club is being ruined by greedy men, who lie to the supporters.
Can you imagine the atmosphere in the Wolves dressing room?
It’s reflected on the pitch, in the way the players play.
They do not trust the manager, nor the CEO nor the Owner.
We bought Mason because no one else would come, which is not surprising considering who they would be working for.
If you support the club, be like Mark Davies and watch the rugby.
Don’t pay money to people who are blatantly ripping you off, because you are a supporter!
It is taking loyalty to a point of pointlessness.
When and if, considering the economic climate, we get new owners, I will breath a sigh of relief, but with our ‘executive’, even listening to the game is depressing.
I don’t think there’s a problem in the dressing room.
The performance and attitude was good at the Madejski last Saturday – the lads battled for a draw and could’ve nicked it.
I don’t question the players’ attitude, only the real lack of quality in the squad.
UTW!
Scared of predicting a win. Been let down too many times!. I reckon there will be a goal in the last 3 mins of the game.
Any sign of Williamson? I’m not a fan of signing any player whilst they’re injured, whether he’s played for us and done well before or not.
Keeping positive & we’ll take an easy home win. Yeah well ever the optimist!
Love the yoda pic Stu!
Come on lads!
Yoda?????
That’s my wife,
🙂
Wrong way round should be “Wife that is”
Like the idea of KMac in the hole, Thomas. If Siggy can continue to progress we can take this one – but not by much.
Whatever the frustration felt about Afobe’s departure the public criticism is another low point in a season of many…completely lacking in class
Best I can see vs pne is a mediocre win
Hang on in there Thomas … It’s mind blowing numbness that we have to suffer …. so FairPlay to you for keeping us hearty souls going.
I actually think the internal stink that exists at the moment will spur our boys into some decent football against , what is after all a team up from Div 3.
That said Preston will think they can go one step further than the last encounter when we struggled to make a draw against 9 men.
If we go behind well be screwed … but I’m not thinking along those lines such that it will be PNE chasing the game.
My rose tinted glasses are still on – just. 3 points and 3 individual goals from us. Maybe a consolation from them.
Another bore draw I think !!!
I made the short trip to Reading last Saturday and witnessed a poor game that had 0-0 written on it after 5 minutes. A few bright spots in that Saville looked good and Siggy is getting fitter with every match (obviously!).
I have been hoping Mac would be pushed forward for a while now. With Coady and Saville this is now doable .
Going for a 3-1 win but would not be surprised if the score was reversed!!
Onwards & Sideways
🙂
When the CEO of a club attacks former players for “not trying” how does this set us up for attracting players in the future? Even if it’s true, his 10 goals appear to belie that, what possible benefit do we gain from the accusation? Wolves are rapidly becoming a club that nobody wants to play for and the fingers can all be pointed at the highest levels for proof of why. I’m probably not going to renew my season ticket, having 17 kick-offs moved from Saturday afternoons in a season is a huge pain in the backside for a non-Wolverhampton-based fan and I’d be better off simply buying tickets to the games that I can/want to make rather than commit to every match regardless of when it’s played. I’ve had to repurchase non-refundable advanced train tickets because matches have moved. I love my seat, my view, the friends I meet with, the banter, the hope and expectations and I love Wolves but I feel it is increasingly unrequited and I’m starting to genuinely believe that I have already seen the best footballing years that the team will produce in my lifetime.
As for tomorrow, I’ll be there, my last home match until Ipswich in April due to tv interference and I think we’ll scrape a win.
We could sign Adam Johnson. I’m sure we could tempt him to cum with a couple of underdeveloped 18 years football academy girls included as a bonus in the contract :=) LOL
Sorry, but boring and ugly
For everyone who has bitched and moaned and complained about the sorry state our beloved club is in, and I obviously include myself, I have only one word.
Chorley
Nothing can ever be worse than that.
Things got better, we got Bully, and we moved on.
The fat lady aint singing, we WILL get a new owner, greasel WILL go eventually, and all this will be another “I was there ” situation to tell our grandkids
Fuck all the backstabbing wankers in the management, lets get behind OUR team, not theirs
PNE in for a smacking tomorrow
FOwb, jm kt and rudolph
I was reading in the Telegraph that Everton might be bought by an American consortium.
If that happens it will mean that getting on for a dozen Premier League clubs are owned, or partly owned, by foreigners.
These foreigners have no feeling for the clubs they purchase. They don’t care about their history or the communities that they serve.
They are either vanity projects, like Chelsea and Abramovitch, or a means of pocketing the increasingly ridiculous amount of money which is pouring in from Sky, BT etc.
The one thing that none of these owners will countenance is relegation.
The fatted calf and the Goose that laid the golden egg would be disappearing down a rather large plug hole.
Which is why there is ongoing talk of no relegation from or promotion to the Premier League.
Apparently it needs only fourteen clubs out of the twenty to vote for a motion for it to go through.
It goes against all the traditions that have made English League Football the great game that it is – or was – depending on your view of the present day game.
But it’s a worrying thought.
Wolves to win on Saturday.
I’ve got to be right sometime for goodness sake!
‘They are either vanity projects, like Chelsea and Abramovitch…’
There’s a school of thought that says Abramovich bought Chelsea purely to raise his profile. There were a lot of people who REALLY didn’t like the way he took control of Rusal (- Russian Aluminium – look it up – ) together with Deripaska. Chelsea may be his insurance policy against assassination. Hell hath no fury like a Russian cheated out of a small fortune…
If you Cant beat em Join em…
He can buy us if it leads to that sort of success on the pitch..
No promotion and Relegation lets get up there and then let them bring it in…
Oh I forgot This is Wolves our owners and management team in no interest in getting to the PL..
Soprry forgot myself for a minute started to dream…
Whatever happened to Premier League Division 2 ?
Currently 60% of Premier League clubs are foreign owned, 65% have foreign managers – I am counting British here as being non-foreign by the way – and on any given weekend 74% of players in the starting XI for Premier League teams are foreign. Makes you proud to be British/English eh?
Doog, I know that we have agreed on lots of stuff in the past it’s the age thing but let me run this by you.
Hello my name is Joe Stalin I’ve go a few god zillion rubles to spend and I fancy a football club in the UK who would you suggest I buy?
See where I’m coming from, unless a former player led consortium comes along I can’t see why anyone would buy us. Now a few seasons ago in the Prem the same question takes on a completely different meaning.
I agree mate.
The point I’m making is that soon the Premier League could well be a closed shop and it makes it even more imperative that if we’re to have a future we need to get there quickly.
I would never advocate the banning of promotion and relegation even if we were in the Prem and struggling.
It’s the single most important thing that has made English football such an unpredictable and watchable sport.
My home town club, Oxford Utd., were in the old Southern League when I started watching them and they achieved Division 1 status. Not for very long admittedly but it was a bloody exciting journey all the same.
To be honest I couldn’t care less who plays tomorrow. I finish work a 07:00 Saturday morning having worked through Friday night.
It’s my first weekend off in four I’d normally go straight to bed and get up about 12:00 and get ready for the match, but I’m not going to bother is my time better spent I’m thinking with my daughter two many times I’ve made excuses to get a game in, NOT any more its not that I suddenly don’t support Wolves any more I’m just reevaluating my priorities in so not interested in Wolves at the minute I even contemplated NOT blogging……and you all know how I like to put my 2 penneth in..yes it’s that bad…!
DON’T EVER contemplate not blogging Paul!!!!
Further to previous comments. I may be showing my shallowness here but I would be delighted if some Russian oligarch bought us up and poured money into the club which eventually had us challanging in Europe. I have no idea if these guys really do feel for their clubs. I would suggest Abramovich and the Man City owners, (to name but two), do – they’ve fired enough managers in their search for success for their clubs

Thank you mate, lovely donation towards my Men United walk and it will be well recieved I’m sure by Prostate cancer UK. My total now stands at an impressive £895 just £105 shy of my latest target.
If you get £300 you are accepted on the walk.
If you get £500 you get a Prostate cancer Men United badge.
If you raise £1000 they give you an official shirt to walk in.
I’m aiming for £2000, someone said, “I get to keep Jeff Stelling”
Thank you again Jerry.
Anyone still thinking about it, here’s a prod.

I checked my site and there are a few people who donated under Anonymous, if your wife did it that way, I have no way of knowing who to thank, but I thank you anyway, you are a Gentleman and a Scholar.
Reference your last post.
Family first in all endeavours mate, Family first, Wolves have been an average team as long as I’ve supported them (55 years now) so one more season won’t kill us.
Family first 🙂
yes Stu from her Swiss Bank account…….!
I didn’t donate anonomously, and you didn’t thank me for my 1k I gave.
Sorry to sound like a stuck record but Jack Price has to play. K Mac looks a better player when Price plays.
I will be there tomorrow and will be renewing my season ticket via the early bird but I can understand anyone wanting to give it a miss. If England’s six nations game was on Saturday afternoon I would be watching that instead.
Will go for a one nil with Siggy to score.
As I commented on the last thread I am totally pissed off at the moment and like Thomas very apathetic on all things Wolves.
But hope springs eternal, I have no idea what KJ will do for team slection, doubt he will until just before he has to name a team then he will stick pins in a list I suppose.
Narrow win if we are lucky.
My preferred team would be : Ikeme; Iorfa, Batth, Ebank-Landell, Doherty; Coady, McDonald; Byrne, Mason, Van La Parra; Sigurdason. Subs: McCarthy, Deslandes, Price, Saville, Henry, Le Fondre, Enobakhare.
From what we hear today about Kenny’s indecision about where to play the man we have just paid £3m for perhaps his line up should be: Mason?; Mason?, Mason?, Mason?, Mason?; Mason?, Mason?; Mason?, Mason?, Mason?; Mason?. Subs: Mason?, Mason?, Mason?, Mason?, Mason?, Mason? and Mason?
Any road up will be there tomorrow freezing my wotsits off no doubt as we grind out another performance which I think will see us win very narrowly in a quite uninspiring and tedious match.
Oh yes nearly forgot :
You Can Stick the Early Bird
Up yer ‘arse
You can stick the Early Bird
Up yer ‘arse,

OODCL!
“Oh ho ho it’s bullshit – you know. Thelwell, Afobe, Moxey.”
I can well understand the dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, but we’ve known ups and downs before and the good thing about downs is, there’s gonna be an up just around the corner.
Keep the faith my friends. Make light of our misfortunes and soon, I’m sure, a glorious sunrise will herald a bright new dawn. Be happy for those that defeat us and know, without doubt, that from adversity comes strength and each day that passes brings the day of Nouha’s return ever closer.
‘Kin ‘ell . . . . . and people say Wolves supporters are pessimistic!! M8, you’ve got me smiling about something to do with Wolves. At the moment that takes a hell of a lot of doing. Perhaps there’s a Russian or Arabian preparing a bid eh?
Hope springs eternal my man. And if you can’t smile about it, then what’s the F’in point. 🙂
Good protest by the Liverpool supporters don’t you think. I agree with several earlier bloggers basically around the theme that greed and money tend to spoil everything, Football’s finances long since passed the point where they still had any contact with reality.
Happy memories of a trip to Deepdale to see a win by one goal – Micky Lill I think and also of a comeback at Molineux on 24th November 1956 which one of my Christmas presents [Wolves on this day by John Hendley] describes – “Wolves recovered from being 3-0 down to Preston to win 4-3 with three goals in the last 10 minutes. Harry Hooper scored a hat-trick and Bobby Mason got the other goal” I actually think Hendley is wrong, I thought Dennis Wilshaw scored the other – a header. Was anyone else there and how do you remember it?
So, let’s be upbeat for this game and go for a win.
I remember Chorley, the Bhatti Brothers, Glen Hoddle and many low moments.
But then I remember Steve Bull, Waggy, Doog, John Richards and Cardiff and I know that things will get better.
Siggy to find his fitness and get his first hatrick at the Mol.
Now this is what I call a packed defence…….apathy is the last word for the match in town this week! Maybe there’s something in this system for us?
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/picture/2016/feb/10/sport-picture-of-the-day-ashbourne-royal-shrovetide-no-rules-football
And if Jack Price doesn’t get more continuity of selection that his performances deserve, he’s the next one the money men will be cashing in on.
Another draw for me.
Looking at both team’s records, I don’t think it will be a goal fest, so a draw for me and only 9 points to go hopefully.
I’m going tomorrow and it’s time we had a good win so I’m going for a 3-0 win and hope it puts us on a roll cos games are running out COYW
I was at the Bolton debacle, my lad at Reading – we both agreed that this match was the worst we’d seen, yet had both seen different games!
2-0 for the hell of it – with no conviction and with no pretence that things will get better this season……………BUT C’MON YOU NE’ER DO WELL’S………
Next season Nouha and Jordan Graham will be back, Williamson will shore up the defence, Siggy and Zyro will score goals for fun and we shall all sail smoothly into the Premiership gravy train – although the men with white coats have just arrived at the door………………..
Back to winning ways I hope,but let’s hope Hackett makes the right team selections.
I’ve just received the prompt from poxey regarding ‘ early bird ‘season ticket renewal, I’m undecided and dissillusioned at the mo,especially after what’s gone on this season.watching the wolves has become a habit when it used to be a passion.. But I will always follow the team let’s hope for new owners Asap..UTW
Like the look of that team Thomas. I’ll follow your prediction too. Siggy to get a brace.
Another exciting couple of hours at the Molineux.
We have been rubbish recently, apathy rules, it will be cold but I still prefer watching the Wolves than rugby.
Well I am yet to be convinced of any REAL attacking threat for some time.
You really can’t blame the forwards to any perseived “lack of effort” when the “pass” to them is a blind hoof from the back and they have to just run along the half way line chasing a defender.
KM sitting deep just criples his creative talent, that we just haven’t really seen all season, playing him in a more forward roll might work, but he has to have multiple people in front of him running the channels and pulling defenders out of position, to create spaces for runs and passed. None of that seems to be happening, and with him behind a single striker, the threat just isn’t there.
Maybe KJ might get things rolling before the end of the season, but I think the play-offs are out of reach and there are enough weaker teams below us that should be more concerned about the drop then we – although Bolton seemed to come to life at Molineux and out play us, so maybe we should be worried…
#UTW
Exceptionally good preface by Thomas.
One – nil
Nighty night
Don’t let the Moxey bugs bite.
Sleep tight all you tremendous Wolves faithful.
BOG.
You been on the Blue Nun?? ?
Is that a new porn site?
Spot on about McDonald and his new “Defensive” role – isn’t that what Coady or Price shojd be doing and Macca pinging those through balls about? For me, Coady out, Price and Macca in the middle with Mason behind Ziggy; RVLP nad the White Pele on the wings. I think a dull game unless RVLP comes out flying, assuming he does:
Out of darkness etc etc. A timely win, please, to cheer us all up. Siggy to score and Price to start.
Not much constructive to say right now , roll on the summer and hopefully a new owner.
Don’t know what to say really.
Perhaps I can blame my lowly position in the Predction Table on the lack of investment by others. Or maybe my body language wasn’t right as I predicted the results. Maybe I gave evidence that I wanted to be in a Prediction Table for another league altogether. Maybe I can be paid four times as much by predicting elsewhere.
Maybe, just maybe, I could stop trying to blame everyone else for my own failings. Maybe my position might improve. And if there is a glint of improvement in the prediction table, maybe, just maybe, I can deliver enough PR spin that people will stop moaning about my lowly position in the table.
Wolves to win, the play offs are still possible.
hard to see where the goals will come from
Late on parade again..
Poor Mason ..becoming a victim of the Wolves apathy spread ..First KJ doesn’t play him and we are already sniping..
I too am not sure incidently..Zyro is different if not super mobile and quick..Mason seems slower…
Anyway..we need him to score and we need to create chances ..RVLP is becoming a potential saviour and if he doesn’t fall down,our right side could be where the chances will come from.
Iorfa needs a kick up the Arse too to say the least he used to tear down the wing and create havoc ..
Perhaps when Williamson plays he can do that again because recently he’s been mostly in our half..
Who else will feature ..? K Mac no doubt..but give or take Coady running a million miles …I’m out of players to harp on about ..
Ok EEL my mate,scores from a set piece then ..he’s got ‘could be one of the best status’ which I think is pure la la land stuff..I wish he could just pass the ball and not crash it into touch..
Bored bored bored ..but I still love our Wolves ..we only need 11 more wins after this one..
The glint of light is fading…
COYW
Oops I forgot Ziggy ..there’s the other goal…yeahhhhh
With mid-table mediocrity secured and the ever-present (despite apparently not trying) Afobe moved on for a handsome profit, KJ’s remit is now clearly just to maximise the value of the ‘assets’. We’ll be looking to move on Saville and Rowe in the summer and Moxey and Thelwell will be wondering how we’re supposed to attract decent offers for them if they are nowhere near our first team. So it will be Rowe on the left, VLP on the right, Siggy up top (probably trying to persuade him to sign a new contract rather than let him leave for nothing), Saville, Coady, Macdonald and the four fit defenders. If Martinez was fit he’d be in as well because we clearly get more out of Arsenal if he plays. Still smarting from the Johnson/O’Hara contracts we will never make another big money signing under this regime. We’re looking to spend small, gamble on players the prem teams aren’t willing to take a chance on yet and sell them on for a profit. We’re not interested in getting back to them Prem because we know we’re not prepared to spend enough money to stay there (in spite of the multi-millions up for grabs) so we’re going to tap into those riches by turning ourselves into a feeder club. Moaning that an ever-present player wasn’t trying is the clearest evidence yet. I’m going to today’s game as it’s £10 each in the family deal. That seems a fair budget price for a budget team. 0-0 but we might end up getting a few more quid for some of our players in the summer so Kenny will get a pat on the back. Good boy Kenny.
Hear hear..who said Wolves fans were only slightly cynical..
Ive found it impossible to predict a correct score this season, so I think I’ll try and be positive for a change.
Feeling Wolves season slipping away. If we can get a win and start on a roll I might start believing again.
Disappointed with how this season has gone but that’s to be expected when we’ve lost Sako, Dicko and Afobe and no reasonable replacements.
Never will stop supporting and hoping.
COYW
Thomas, are you stirring up apathy? Can’t blame you mate after the latest edition of the weekly soap opera that is Wolves. But, don’t panic, I’m sticking with my upbeat prediction that we will finish the season in anything from 6th to 10th place. This is even with the present depleted-by-injuries squad. But when they’re all back and raring to go next season, who knows from there? (Just received an answer on a postcard saying Moxey will sell anyone who looks a bit tasty).
Right. Here’s my prediction for Preston. I think we’ll build on that decent draw at Reading. Siggy will repay my constant belief in him and get on the score sheet.
This one’s got a draw all over it.
On a totally unrelated topic, the boss and I went to see the Cirque Du Soleile performance of Toruk last night.
I dont care what your taste in music or entertainment is, if you ever get the chance to see this, you gotta go.
The special effects were mind blowing, and I was totally engrossed for two and a half hours.
Absolutely brilliant.
Highly, highly recommend it for anyone, any age.
Oh, and…………..
FOwb
More in hope than expectation.
I have no idea why Kenny can’t play the same time two games in succession to start building some combinations.
I continue to live in hope that things will soon get better.
I don’t know why I love you but I do
Interesting team selection, I think. ‘Combative’ in midfield.
When you don’t include KMac and Mason in the starting 11, what does KJ expect, what a shambles we are.
Cfh , cirque du Soleil. Sorry about spelling. Show is fantastic , saw a couple and always worth the money Looking forward to the rugby tomorrow and the llcfc v arse game too also , speaking of footy I see another stuffing at the moll today !! Well at least moxey copped a bit of shit so not a total waste of time. Utw
Clive.
We took your advice and you were right, we went to Molineux and watched Kenny Jackett’s Cirque du Soleile,
It was great.
A bunch of absolute clowns who performed some amazing stunts on a stage, they walked a tightrope for most of the performance (or lack of performance), gambolled about thr pitch like acrobats, amazed us at the level of shite that they’ve dropped to and then the main attraction the pantomime horse was RVLP a Dutch clown who kept us amused with his astounding anilitity in losing the ball.
I feel certain we shall be seeing it a few more times this season.
Talking of stunts……
What’s the difference between a fairies wand and a Policemans truncheon,?
Ones for Cunning Stunts
And the other is for……………..
You’ve gorra loff or you’d cry.
Good to see you today Stu. Only just got home. Horrendous conditions along the A66, snow, hail and fog. I remembered why I chose to stay away from Molineux when the final whistle blew. But Bob was happy. See you in ‘Uddersfield next Saturday buddy.

The hoof ball was getting a bit boring so as well as chanting … Get out of our club ….get out of our cluub …. You fat bastard .. Get out of our club. I decided to see if I could see the star performer, the class act, the master of ceremonies …..
And there they were. Mr Greasel and his tart …sitting by no-one except each other and watching shite unfold in front of their very eyes.
Well fatty … and from what I hear from a good source …are your aspirations for this club.. You ought to be ashamed … not only do you choose not publicise your thoughts as to our current postioning you now expect us to renew our season tickets. You are a f@@@@g disgrace. Please Please go.
Welcome home mate. Sorry not to have met up before the game. Hope you had a great time in NZ.
Cheers Brompto …
Just got in from the game. Depressing, miserable, fed up, disgusted. Morgan has to go and Moxey and Jackett. Having gone to Reading last week and witnessed a toothless display – I said last week that with a bit of firepower we’d have beaten Reading – I was stunned to see Jackett pick an even more defensive team at HOME today. Dropping McDonald, our only creative midfielder, and bringing in Price beggared belief (though BOG has heard from an insider that there was a big bust up this week between Macca and KJ which would explain it). And Mason on the bench again. The £3m new signing who Jackett doesn’t know what to do with which suggests that it wasn’t Kenny who signed him? If it was then how crap is Kenny? Still no start for Byrne either so KJ must rate VLP and Henry more. Again, how crap is Kenny? At least Henry went off after fumbling and bumbling about as usual and Byrne came on early. Half time and 0-1 down with our only decent effort coming from…….. Byrne who hit the post. So KJ takes off a winger – OK VLP was crap – and finally brings on Mason but that meant Saville playing on the left wing! Saville! A central midfielder not a winger. Saville who until very recently was deemed so unwanted that we loaned him out to a 3rd division team! Dreadful just dreadful. How low have we sunk? A right back at left back and a 3rd division standard central midfielder on the left wing! At the START of the second half our entire eleven had contributed a grand total of 4 goals this season! 4! Appalling.
Only bright spots for me were Conor Coady who I thought was our best player by a mile although in truth that’s not saying much. And amazingly Kenny actually used three substitutes! Yes honestly he did. Incredible.
Until and unless Moron and Toxic go and Kenny is replaced we are going nowhere except backwards. We loyal fans deserve far more than this. Those money grabbing, short sighted, pocket-lining lying barstewards are bleeding us dry and running the club, OUR club, into the ground. I ate, despise and loathe them all. New buyers PLEASE!
hate not ate! Sorry, not a good idea to type when you are as tired, angry and depressed as I am right now. Going to Arsenal v Leicester tomorrow with my Gooner son – from the ridiculous to the sublime.
One of the substitutions only due to K Mac’s injury.
I too had the thought that it’s weird that Mason ( who I can’t believe we spent £3 million for) is on the bench, with Jackett saying he doesn’t know where to fit him in. And buying Williamson as defensive cover when he’s long term injured.
Zyro too, now soon injured, was said to have been out for a long time in Poland with an ankle problem………………
So much for our much touted scouting system.
Now someone say Jacket is not clueless..
Post match interviews becoming historic
..professor of football in after analysis,repetitive
at being inept before and during..
Out foxed at home yet again only 4 wins this season says it all.. and so does his face…
Adios..(close season)
McDonald didn’t turn in for treatment on Wednesday. I didn’t realise he was carrying a knock.
Hence leaving him on the bench.
Good that Kenny, the only bloke that resembles a player, leave him on the bench.
I did think Coady put in a lovely ball and Mason dispatched brilliantly.
I’ve been in the “what’s the point in sacking kenny camp” but after today’s performance, following on the back of Bolton and reading, I’m definitely coming to the view that he has run out of steam and reached his level. The players looked confused and bewildered and our young talent seem to be going backwards rather than progressing. We are 10 points from safety. At times this season I’ve thought we have looked like relegation material and then we manage to pick up a few points to ease my nerves. We need Williamson and Hause fit and in the team Asap. For me our best back four is williamson, Hause, ebl and Iorfa, so sorry Danny but you ain’t up to it.
it wasnt long ago ebl wasnt up to it … i think it’s not so much the squad, but somethings up with kenny … whilst he still gives the same monotnous verdicts after every game, he does not appear the same man behind the scenes, picking the squad, motivating the players.
somethings up, he is a much better manager than this – even with morgan selling off his star players. i reckon he’s realised his lot here at Wolves, realised things wont change and that he wont be given the backing he needs and so my money is on him trying to get himself sacked.
you had a really good run kenny, and whilst I still think you are a good championship manager, this cant go on.
You are right Bedford. New owners desperately needed and a massive shake up in the boardroom. Sweep away the long standing components and the emphasis on book balancing. Let’s have some ambition.Some investment. Some exciting football. This club is world famous. I mentioned before that on my travels with the cricket to South Africa,Australia etc the Wolves shirt is recognised and people usually have a chat about it. Let’s get to back where we belong and stay there. 4 years in the top flight out of the last 36 tells its own story about the terrible way we have been managed along the way.
Happy Valentine’s Day wolves fc . Xxx
You are the true love of my life
Wicked, how sweet are you.
🙂
They certainly need f*****g too at the moment …
