Wolves opinions designed to create debate rather than splinters
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 …

Just as my fellow blogger, John Bray, was reacquainting himself with his yellow chair, mine was unused at Molineux on Sunday, hopefully for the first and last time this season, writes Wolves blogger Nathan Lloyd. As mentioned in my last blog, I was gutted when I had to travel up to Harrogate, North Yorkshire for …
Whilst sitting and watching the FA Cup Final a couple of years ago in a bar on a lad's weekend away, one of our gang, Pete, decided it would be hilarious to stick his wet finger in my ear. My reaction was to recoil like someone had stuck a hot knitting needle in my lug …
I was having a drink with my good pal James on Tuesday night and the topic turned to Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray, who I stated was currently having a blinder on loan at Hereford. James said that Matt was too brittle and would never be injury free. I retorted that I thought Matt had now …
I was full of pride watching Great Britain achieve their great haul of medals in Beijing, but why was it that for the entire Olympic fortnight that Great Britain had to be referred to with the truncated title: 'Team GB?' The Spanish Olympic squad didn't call themselves "Equipo España"? So why did we have to …
Yes, perhaps I do need to drink some of the optimistic nectar that Bully has obviously had! But, as I am not a footballing god, if I predicted that Wolves will finish this season mid-table and that in six years time we would playing Barcelona in front of 98,000 at the Nou Camp in the …
Mixed fortunes for all the lads returning from international duty this week. Far too much focus and far too many column inches have been dedicated to that Scottish miss and that Welsh own goal. Iwelumo missed a goal, big deal. Anyway, he was wearing the colours of Scotland and not the only strip that really …
