After Saturday’s defeat to Arsenal, Wolves find themselves in the bottom three for the first time in a while. A good time, if not the most optimistic, to consider the very different experience of supporting your team in the Premier League to the Championship. It’s never easy supporting Wolves (although I’m sure many a Luton Town supporter [...]

Monday, November 9th, 2009One of them days: Wolves 1-4 Arsenal
Saturday, November 7th, 2009Disappointingly, I have been proven right in my audacious prediction of an Arsenal victory. Wolves started so promisingly and really took the game to Arsenal in the first 20 minutes, but in truth didn’t threaten the Arsenal goal seriously despite looking the better team. However after an unlucky own goal from Zubar, there was only [...]
Fair Point: Stoke 2-2 Wolves
Sunday, November 1st, 2009It’s beginning to look like the Hoddle days – all these draws. Of course nothing could be further from the truth, because Hoddle was bumbling around with an over-priced, over-paid team in the Championship, and McCarthy has assembled a lean Premiership outfit, albeit one still nervously close to the drop zone, with far less resources that [...]
On the price of success
Friday, October 30th, 2009Many fans are likely to be getting justifiably aerated about tickets for the upcoming match at Stamford Bridge, costing £47 or £44 (assuming you can visit the ticket office in person and pay cash, else add an extra £1.25 to that). This is too high, although not massively above the £40 Wolves choose the charge [...]
Gasp: Sunderland 5-2 Wolves
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009I’m going to stop, after today, harking back to the bad only days of 2003-04, but this five goals conceeded statistic appears, at first glance, to be frighteningly familiar. Pleasingly and frustratingly, however, scratch the surface and this seems to be another of those hard luck stories for Wolves. Much endeavour and desire , a [...]
Wigan Athletic 0-1 Wolves
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009A dominant if edgy performance (do they do it any other way) brings Wolverhampton Wanderers their first ever Premier League away win. Having gone a whole season five years ago without managing particular that feat, it’s extremely gratifying to get the result in their first trip away this season. Despite a squad of shreds and [...]
Wolves 0 – 2 West Ham
Saturday, August 15th, 2009Wolves came out the starting gate with a bang but ended on a whimper. When the starting line up was announced I will admit to letting a small tear fall from my eye. Stephen Ward starting? Neither should Jody Craddock, much as I love him, should not be a premier league starter. Against a better [...]
Derby vs. Wolves (2:3)
Monday, April 13th, 2009Congratulations to Mr. Keogh, the hero of the hour, popping up with two crucial goals in one game after only three in the rest of the season. Just reward for an impressive workrate, and we can only hope a sign of greater confidence (and, let’s face it, skill) in front of goal. An overall poor [...]
Nottingham Forest vs. Wolves (0:1)
Saturday, March 21st, 2009A good win, especially considering the further slips from Reading and Brum, infront of over 5000 away supporters (there seems to be something in the air – is it all the winning?). The match was uninspiring, but I’ll take a win in a dire encounter above a polished but unluckly draw at this stage in [...]
