Get Harvey in. We all need a lift.

They were unlucky to lose to us at Villa Park this will be a tough game for us 1 - 1

Good chance to see what this Mane kid is like that plays for the dog heads, then we can poach him if he's decent

I hope he’s not decent Friday.

Wolves are absolutely shit. We just need to be less shit to beat them. I realize that sounds obvious and I know it’s a derby and all that but if we have any pretensions of making it to the CL we have to beat one of the worst sides to ever play in the PL.

They always drag us down to their level, and even below, when we play them though. Even our home game against them wasn't great. I'll be happy with a point, and amazed with a win.

I moved closer to Wolverhampton than Birmingham last summer but at the same time further away from the modern world. For the first time in my life I see more than one Wolfs fan in the pubs or walking the streets, looking morose these days, lamenting the change to decimal currency as well as the abject form of their football team I would imagine.

Just like Sangwell, they use the metric of league position as to who are their local rivals so they have calmed down where we are concerned but will stoke it up again on Friday for old times sake.

I feel another drab, uninspired performance from us, mainly because that's how we tend to play there. Emery will be guarded and cautious but I can see our poor run coming to an end soon, perhaps not on Friday though.

0-0

This is the one chance Wolves will have a chance to put a smile on their supporters faces in an otherwise abysmal season. Their FA Cup final.

They will win the midfield battle.

Wolves 1 Villa 0.

I worry they'll bring not much skill (on account of them being shit) but lots of energy and drive to the game and our recent slow style is going to wobble.

Yeah yeah, they're super-shit but then again, so are Leeds.

It is also their cup final, the mind-the-gap cvnts.

Honestly, lost much of my optimism after Saturdays performance. Staring down the barrel of 1 point from the next 3 fixtures here and I think that's going to be a real problem if United win tonight.

2-1 Villa win

I’ve got be honest and say I’m shocked at the number on here who think we’ll lose this. They are, after all, the bottom team for a reason. If we turn up with the attitude that Arsenal displayed against them then maybe they’ll get something. I’m positive we won’t and I’m expecting a 2-0 or better for us

[Rigadon]

That it's probably the last game of any importance to their fans, they will be up for it.  Saying that, they might be a bit more expansive than the sides we've played at home lately, which should suit us.  We really need to win this one.

They've gotten a lot of unearned praise for that game. They where objectively pathetic for almost the entire match and only managed to get back into it thanks Arsenals unimaginable lack of conviction.

It's their cup final!
