Wolves opinions designed to create debate rather than splinters
Turgid, miserable, dull, depressing.... Pick your adjective to describe quite easily the worst season many of us have ever endured. The writing has been on the wall for the past 4 or 5 years and has finally culminated in an inescapable relegation. The steady decline in the quality of the squad has been overseen by …

Below are some clippings of Moneygods' gig listings, album review, interviews, chart positions and gig flyers from down the years. Including when they supported Radiohead at the Lichfield Arts Centre.
Succession planning. Now, before you yawn and switch over to either the excellent South Bank Resistance or listen to the hilarity of abuse of the week on the E&S Spiers & Judah Wolves podcast, read on, it will be worth it, I promise, probably. Anyway, during the long, long international break, the tabloid chat has …
I met Matt (Mr Consistent) Doherty in the soup aisle of one of the posher supermarkets in Wolves about 5ish years back. And what a lovely chap. We spoke in length about soups. We didn’t. We didn’t get round to discussing soups in our conversation. Which was a shame. I like soup. No, thankfully, we …
Level 42 sang about the Chinese Way. That may be a tad ‘Alan Partridge’ to kick off proceedings, but hear me out. The Chinese Way has not be working out for clubs like Villa, Albion and AC Milan, but so far, the Fosun group are injecting a level of cash and excitement into my club, …
What if they bugger off? The recent success does almost seem to good to be true. So.… What if Fosun get bored? What if Nuno gets a better offer? What if Mendes cooks himself to a burnt crisp on the sunbed? If like me you have endured the Bhatti brother’s era, then you probably fear …

I left Molineux on Saturday after witnessing a quite brilliant performance by the men in gold, knowing that for at least 30 minutes, we would be proudly sitting aloft the Premier League for the first time in our history. The game also marked the start of my 20th season watching Wolves, having come to the …

One of my match day rituals’ is to take a couple of lollipops with me to games. Depending on how long a lollipop lasts is usually an accurate reflection on the importance of the game or the entertainment level on offer. Take the beating of Albion at Molineux last week; my strawberry Chupa Chup, my …

It’s almost eight years to the day and I can still vividly remember my jaw hitting the floor and turning into my brother, struggling to believe that what I had just witnessed had actually transpired. That incredible moment was Kenny Miller burying Wolves third and final goal after just 45 mins as we absolutely battered …

I’m a big Twitter fan, I spend most of the time on my way to work on the train tapping away and putting the world to rights. I’ve got a small amount of followers, just over 700, so when I tweet something a tad controversial, it’s only read by a relative few. But what if …

I broke my Molineux virginity in 1991 when I first started a long relationship with what remains one of the biggest loves in my life. That day, a Paul Birch goal turned out to be merely a consolation as we suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Ipswich. It mattered not a jot though, …

Wolves Premiership survival task has started to look a more healthy venture lately, even more so after Saturday’s victory over an abject Villa side. I’m sure you’ve all watched games where you just sense that the opposition aren’t gelling or giving their all for the current manager. I’ve seen it when we’ve played Liverpool sides …
As I get older and balder (by the day it seems) I find myself reminiscing about days gone by and the achievements Wolves have made whilst I’ve been following them for the last two decades. My dad was never a fan of the beautiful game, so I was probably what you would call a late …
At around 3:15pm on Saturday 27th February, the Molineux crowd begin a chant in unison of ‘Deano’ followed by ‘there’s only one Dean Richards’ and finished with a spontaneous round of applause. And I’ll admit that I started to fill up. The reason for the tears was that I’d heard only a few hours earlier …
This week we had the contrasting retirements of two legends of the game, but legends for differing reasons. Firstly, double World Cup winning Brazilian striker Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima called it a day saying that his body just couldn’t do what his brain was telling it to do anymore and he said he knew …

The January transfer window is always an over inflated load of tripe – exciting for fans and equally frustrating for football chairman and managers. Andy Carroll at £35 million? Do me a favour. Who in there right mind thinks that Carroll is worth more than David Villa or Rooney? He obviously has huge raw talent, …

At a game where we dominated until he missed that penalty at Portman Road, I think Freddy has potentially blown his big chance for a place in the starting 11. Back in the reserves, and we all know how much he will enjoy that! I still think reinforcements will be needed in the striking department …
Hello everybody and thanks for having me back! You are everywhere and nowhere baby, that is where you are at! Last Saturday, whilst Wolves were battling their way to a commendable draw down at Home Park, I was at a wedding in Horsham singing along to the Wolves version of the Jeff Beck classic and …

At 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday, all the season's worries and woes of the Wolves fans seem to just melt away - well mine did anyway. We now have one foot in the land of milk and honey and, with the cork slowly edging its way out of the promotion champagne bottle, our fans are …

It would be amiss of me if I didn't start this week's blog by paying tribute to the great Bobby Thomson, who has gone to have a kick around with the rest of the fallen Wanderers in the golden palace in the sky. Back in a blog in 2007, I painstakingly researched and deliberated about …
