Part of the beauty of football and why it's so popular the world over, is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Only last night I was discussing the fact that leaving Molineux yesterday you probably had 31,000 different interpretations of how it went. The same goes for footballers. No two players are … Continue reading The Injection – Southampton (H)

The Other Guys – Leicester (Carabao Cup)
The Other Guys is one of my favourite comedy films. It's a tale of haplessness pretty much everywhere you turn, unlikely heroes and shines a light on those who are in the shadows of operations. It has basically nothing to do with Wolves, but the Leicester Game felt like the turn of 'The Other Guys.' … Continue reading The Other Guys – Leicester (Carabao Cup)
The Special One – Man Utd (A)
In a world of lies and untruths it's very easy to become a sceptic with the things you read and hear. Our politicians are a prime example of such deception. This is also extremely pertinent in the world of football. So to have a head coach who endeavours to deliver on his promises and keep … Continue reading The Special One – Man Utd (A)
Man The Barricades: The Wolves Are Coming
They say you're never far from a rat in Central London. The same could be said of Manchester United fans, pretty much all over the country. They happen to share a characteristic with rats at the moment though: you certainly can't see or hear them. I've always been surrounded by so-called Mancs. They're here, they're … Continue reading Man The Barricades: The Wolves Are Coming
Starting To Feel Like Home – Burnley (H)
For all the world I thought this game would be a slog. I had visions of stodgy Burnley defence, our attack running through the proverbial treacle of a rearguard staunchly defending its goal in the manner Burnley have built a whole reputation on.- a reputation which feels a little bit mythical right now. I remember … Continue reading Starting To Feel Like Home – Burnley (H)
Wolves v Burnley – Made in 1888, Defined in 2018
You may have noticed the recent marking of the 130th anniversary of the Football League. How apt then that two founder members of the football league collide at Molineux in the early afternoon of Sunday 16 September. I imagine it was a pretty level playing field back then. As it happens, Wolves played out a … Continue reading Wolves v Burnley – Made in 1888, Defined in 2018
Our Joao
My original plan was to do a tactical analysis of each of our new signings. This would have been backed up by data, but there's a tendency to reduce football to numbers from too many these days. I will still produce some articles in such a vain as the influence of some of our new … Continue reading Our Joao
The 16:53 to Premier League-ville – West Ham (A)
Away days - there is truly nothing like them. A 292-mile round trip, a whole load of laughs and all in the name of three points, which we duly brought home with us. It could only be a Punjabi Wolves away day. You can definitely feel the pressure on each game is ratcheted up being … Continue reading The 16:53 to Premier League-ville – West Ham (A)
