Wolves

It hasn't taken us long to become arrogant and superior to clubs less fortunate or going through bad times. Let's hope it doesn't come back and bite us.

The main worry for Wolves is the fact that Bristol City, Barnsley and Posh are seasoned relegation battlers.

Last Saturday's results really closed the league up. Teams like Huddersfield, Bolton and even Blackpool must be nervously looking over their shoulders.

Let's face it, if we had lost against Hull, the usual suspects would have been concerned about our position!

Crawley Town fans may be thinking this after an excellent start to the season.

Agreed. I've noticed them slipping down the table in recent weeks. I think Pompey and Hartlepool are gone. They should have enough about them for this season but you never know.

Pleasing to see MK sliding down the L1 table though.

I think they will stay up and probably struggle next season. Barker seemed to be doing really well and its always good to see ex Albion players in management.

I find it amusing due to their shoddy treatment of Mick McCarthy.

I find it amusing because it is.

As a fellow Biscuiteer, I expected a lot better tbh.

Fair enough.

Didn't he get the Manager's job when Mick Mac got the boot?

A big 'this' (as somebody who works locally).

Wolves have got a lot of capital projects going on (as do we) - they are redeveloping their already fantastic training facility. In the past their academy was based on a different side of the City to their main training ground - from next season it will all be in house. They have gifted their 'old' academy facilities to Wolves in the Community, which is a nice touch.

They have put the stadium building project on hold - they were initially planning to knock down and replace three stands, but have stopped at the one (the stand the away fans currently sit in). This is because they don't want to spend money on the stadium and the training ground at the same time. Nevertheless, as they are not currently filling up the ground, I doubt the will recommence stadium building any time soon.

I admire how Wolves live within their means - if football's house of cards were to ever fall down, they would be one of the last few clubs to go bust. Nevertheless, most of their fans find it baffling how they can sell off their best players and replace them with youth team products (Danny Baath, Whathisface Sako, and others). With the addition of parachute payments Wolves should, on paper, be one of the richest teams in the league.

Fans at my workplace recon that Dean Saunders was the cheap option. O'Driscoll (spelling??) was out of work when the post was vacant and he is a Wolves fan. My colleagues have been looking jealously at the fine job he is doing at Bristol City.

Very strange goings on at Molineux. They are running as if money is very tight. Their recent financial dealings would suggest otherwise.

Even the Tap & Spile has closed down, sad times in Wolverhampton.

I've had a long standing dislike for Wolves' fans (along with Leicester's) simply because my encounters with them has led me to the conclusion that they are a horrible set of fans. Leicester more than Wolves but both horrible. Purely my opinion based on personal experience and nothing to do with becoming arrogant and superior.

That would be great fun. Especially if we need 3 points that day to get in play offs. It would be on TV for certain.

Why? You are aware championship games are played at exactly the same time?
