I cannot stand the dog heads for no other reason than my geographical situation. I live in the Black Country surrounded by them since birth (ironically Wolverhampton isn't actually in the the Black Country)

In all those 47 years they've never been our rivals. I've never felt the need to rub whatever we were up to in their faces and i've never sung about their club other than if we've been playing them. Which made last seasons attempts by them to make us their rivals all the more baffling.

I do however think they'll not only stay up but do so with ease and possibly even trouble the UEFA spots. People have got to accept they're now loaded and have owners with one aim and that's to be the best, or right up there.

Let's hope ours have the same aims.

I know I shouldn’t listen to it, but some Wolves fan has just claimed that this Wolves team is playing the best football ever seen from a West Midland team in the PL. the worst part is that ‘Call me Franksy’ and Garry Thompson (who should know better) agreed with him.
Perhaps they’ve forgotten us finishing 2nd place under Big Ron playing the best football I’ve seen at Villa Park, or maybe Brian Little’s exciting style of football?
Fuck it I’m off to the match.

They have probably also forgotten that along with the good football they played the BFR and Brain Little teams also both won trophies.

Those were the days (sigh) of Actually Winning Trophies!

Wolves will be sussed out as time goes on and end up mid table at the very best.

Lots of clubs feed off the buzz of being new to the Premier League. Steve Bruce said how up for it the fans and everyone connected with Small Heath were in the first season back in the top flight after donkeys years and how it was hard to replicate that in the following seasons. That is part of the second season syndrome along with higher expectations than just survival. I tipped Huddersfield to be the same this season. I am pretty sure Hull were challenging for the top four halfway through their first season in the Premier league (under Phil Brown) and ended up avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth after barely winning a game after Christmas.

I think Wolves have enough to stay up this season, maybe top half if the wind is right, not the world beaters that some yampy yams yams keep blithering on about but decent enough in a terribly dull league.

It depends on your approach, I found Huddersfield's celebrations, after a 0-0 at Chelsea secured their status last year, cringeworthy. A fine effort to survive but you would've thought they had won the FA Cup, now reality is kicking in this season and they look very poor. It seems that the PL, for some at least, is a novelty to be enjoyed, not a position to cement and become the norm. I don't imagine Wolves are approaching it like this and would demand that we didn't if we get back up anytime soon.

Like it or not 'SKY Survival Sunday' is now a bigger event than the FA Cup final.

Who says? Just 'cos Sky scream it from the rooftops doesn't mean it's true.

Apparently if Wolves turn up today they will win.

Another ten minute borathon with Mel Eves tonight.

Polly sounds completely batty. The most one eyed blue nose I think I've ever heard. But I was amused how she rattled the cage of Real Wanderers tonight. Apparently Monk is the best manager in the midlands right now because he's got no money to spend and Nuno wouldn't be able to do what Monk's doing on a shoestring. Cue the Nuno fan club frothing at the mouth.

[Pvb1968]

I don't know how polly finds the time to phone in looking after all those cats. She must spend a fortune on litter.

Had to look up their result from the weekend again just to check they had drawn after listening to that. 

[Pvb1968]

When the small time clubs start to do well they get carried away, see blues 2004 and the stripeeys 2013.

Alan's wanting us to lose on Friday...

Alan's wanting us to lose on Friday...

He's a one he is. He's wanted us to lose every match we've ever played if his constant griping is anything to go by.

Eddies been calling them out on their Wolves bias apparently.  They were taking the piss out of it with a montage of his comments.  Other people were texting in agreeing with him.  They didn’t appear to like the criticism.

That's the only sensible thing that prat Eddie has ever said.

It's a strange truism that the more outspoken the presenter locally, the less they like anyone disagreeing with them. George Gavin we know about, Tony Butler wouldn't allow anyone on who didn't hang onto his every word, Paul Franks tried to use ridicule and fails. To be fair to Tom Ross, he's just about the only one who ever takes as much as he gives.

You've only got to see how quickly Stan Collymore blocks anybody who disagrees with him to see how true that is.

Pretty impressive to have 5 people mentioned and out of them Tom Ross is by far the most likeable.
