No Games? No Worries….You’ll Still See Us!

Community Engagement The 1970s Way

Struggling to cope without weekend matches in this freakishly long gap between Wolves games? Longing for the visit to West Ham to come round a week on Friday? At least there are international matches for us to home in on and, in particular, to analyse the contributions of Wolves players to them.

Treading The Boards – It’s Show Time!

Fifty-Year Anniversary Of Epic Game That Was Hardly Golden For Wolves

It was described on the cover of the match programme as The Great First Division Drama, so why wouldn’t it be more deeply etched in the nation’s cultural fabric? One team needed both points on that historic Molineux night to have any chance of staying up. The other required a draw or win to become First Division champions for the ninth time.

Robbie In Shake-Up To Win His Spurs Again

Is Robbie Keane auditioning for the forthcoming vacancy at his old club, Tottenham? Might we be within a few months of seeing him stride back to a corner of North London in which he is so popular?

Mind The Gap!

Wolves Enter A Break Of The Most Freakish Kind

Considering the deep gloom that has hung over Molineux at times in the last few months, this has also been the season that keeps on giving. Not so much in the on-field results sense, although that aspect has improved considerably since Christmas, with the outcomes against Arsenal, Villa and Liverpool (League) standing out as truly memorable. 

Friendliest Of Foes In Race For Play-Offs

Spectacular Upturns Open Up Path To Top Six

Club colleagues at Wolves, long-time fellow coaches at Leicester, big friends…..and now unlikely rivals in the race for the League One play-offs. The careers of Rob Kelly and Mike Stowell continue to overlap at irregular intervals. For the second time in less than three months, they were opponents on the touchline at Reading’s home game against Plymouth on Saturday – good reason for Wolves Heroes to drop in and check on their progress.

Andrews: A Considered Overview

Tell-Tale Signs That Midfielder Had What It Takes….

Colin Lee isn’t the first coach to look back on a youngster in his charge and speak of the special virtues that marked him out as one to watch. But the well-trained, talent-spotting eye that was essential in the Devonian’s own long career in the dug-out makes him well qualified to speak now of the qualities he observed more than a quarter of a century ago.

Fondly Remembered: John Short

Unheralded Figure In The Rise To Greatness

Billy Wright and Bert Williams were the glamour names among those whose job it was to keep goals out at one end. At the other, there were international wingers, inside-forwards and no 9s aplenty who succeeded handsomely in their task to create and score them.

Thrilled To Be Back

Cup Clash An Unmissable Double Attraction

“If there’s anything you want me to do while I’m there, just say”…..the words Wolves staff were delighted to hear on Friday afternoon. “If there’s anyone more in love with football than him, we haven’t found them yet”….the words of Paul Berry in introducing the said individual to diners in the Billy Wright Stand corporate rooms several hours later.

Whatever Might Happen Next?

Home Heroics Achieving Some Extraordinary Highs

As we know to our discomfort and disappointment, clashes between Wolves and Liverpool in these parts haven’t always been about Mick Matthews, Emlyn Hughes, Eamonn Andrews, John Richards winners and unlikely goal-scoring heroics from Craig Dawson. Among and since those memorable afternoons and nights, there has been much pain in this fixture, too…..and a familiar feeling of deflation that made Andre’s deflected strike at around 10.15 three nights ago something to truly behold.

Dear Diary Entry 173

An Exciting Repeat – But Still No Happy Ending

Saturday, February 7: No shortage of goals again in a Wolves v Chelsea game that wasn’t too dissimilar to the Carabao Cup meeting of these clubs at the same venue in the autumn. Wolves were once more 3-0 down at half-time before producing a much stronger second half, alas, on the day of Pedro Neto’s latest return, without anything to show in the points column.
