Popular Post havanatopia Posted December 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Good day everyone and a very happy Christmas. I do hope our Boxing Day will be full of Christmas cheer. Unless we play Inverness Caledonian Thistle anytime soon this fixture is likely to hold the mantle as the longest match day thread title of all time; Apart from Cale Thistle, Wolves have the longest name in British football. And in Dec 2000 Wolverhampton became a city along with Brighton and Preston although it is a strange phenomenon how places within greater metropolitan areas do not, themselves, feel like cities. At least to me. How accommodating with the Wulfrunian's of Wolverhampton be to the bruised and battered City team today after the festive sojourn? Back to business and not a moment too soon. I sincerely hope we arrest the fall. And now for a little history. Lady Wulfruna, grand daughter of King Ethelred I, founded a 'town on the hill' as the name Wolverhampton derives in AD985. A rather modern settlement then by British historical standards. Wolverhampton, like much of the Midlands and the Potteries powered our industrial revolution; no coincidence that the region became known as the Black Country due to the rather quantities of soot that discoloured the soil. You can see why with this typical scene engraved in 1869 by G Greatbach entitled The Black Country. "It’s hellish. The ground is on fire," It was shown at a 2013 exhibition about our industrial revolution at the Science exhibition of Manchester. The engraving sits next to an LP cover by Birmingham heavy metal band Judas Priest. "I see rock music as almost a requiem for those times," the artist, Jeremy Deller says. "It’s manly music, made very loud, almost like the industrial process itself. And yet it’s celebrating something that was dying, in Britain at least. There’s a great connection." How right he was and how resonating are those words. Salt of the earth Wulfonians en masse walking to Molineux this afternoon, like all football Saturday afternoons, is a ritual the length and breadth of the land and synonymous with mass movements of that industrial age. How welcoming those souls will be after their turkey and cranberry remains to be seen but back in the day they looked a sorrowful lot. Salt of the earth maybe but in them there days boy was life hard. We don't know we are born. And on that note I shall just revert to the Christmas spirit of wishing everyone, wherever they may be, a deserving respite from what might be a tough life, and hope a little light and festive cheer enters their souls. Christian or not it is a time for thinking of others less fortunate than ourselves. And to all those making the journey up the M5 and the M6 today well done you lot. Whether its a 100 fans making their way on a horrible wet Tuesday night to Halifax or 1500 to Wolves on a crisp* Boxing Day, our away fans, particularly, need to be saluted for their loyal support. Sing your hearts out and let us hope the team give us a performance deserving of your efforts. I shall be off the grid for 3 days now, out into the Boondocks of Bantayan Island where the locals only flirt with a mysterious thing called the 'Internet' of things. I shall not be holding my breath for a City win, not because I do not care but because anything remotely resembling that would render the next 3 days at the beach a miserable affair. And after working hard for a year I deserve a bit of piece and quiet. What utter nonsense that sounds now it is written. Now where is that short wave radio. UTC. * Crisp - according to the weather forecast temperatures will be half what they were on Christmas day but there will be a huge golden orb in the sky so the word; 'crisp' may indeed come to pass. Hope so fellow fans. Edited December 25, 2016 by havanatopia 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 They are in a very similar position to us. I fear It will come down to who wants it the most and managerial experience but I am forever hopeful. It will be up to us fans to generate and transmit that passion and will to win to the players to help give them that edge. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) I went to Molineux on Boxing Day 1966 and we got a 1-1 draw. The return game twenty four hours later under the new 4 pylon floodlight towers ended 0-1. Danny Bartley made his debut. Reading Havanatopia's excellent OP, and seeing the picture of the steel works reminds me of how much Britain and life gas changed in fifty years. We went by steam train via Birmingham and all the way from Brum to Wolverhampton there were dirty steel works alongside the whole distance. The railway track is now a dual carriageway without a steel mill anywhere. All I can hope today is that our team can break what must be one of the longest runs without a win for any team at an away ground.

Anyway , poor taste jokes and profound observations apart , back to the sport that keeps us distracted from our ' real ' problems ,can we settle for playing shite and winning today ? Let's hope we don't get a kick in the Boondocks again and we get the red machine back on track . COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s got to be up there but I did hear on Sky the other day that QPR have never won at Forest despite playing there 34 times. No idea how many times we`ve played at Molineux since we last won in 1931 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This van was replaced just after with a Ford Escort as the Minor's gear change jumped out when in second. Those were the days!

We better had, otherwise it's back to league one on current form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 God ******* help us with that lineup! Anything less than a 4-0 lose would have to be seen as a good result... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 The amount of stick i get when Wolves beat us is insane so i am praying for at least a point. You can imagine the stick i've had over the last decade vs Wolves C'mon you reds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin as much as I like him, a liability playing out wide away from home and on the same side as Bryan which won't help him much with his poor form. Bets me why we don't play Freeman Left midfield, Reid right midfield and Tomlin down the centre. Perhaps it's too obvious to have the left footer on the left and the righ footer on the right to fit into LJs scientific views.

Benni Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) We can win this game, the Wolves team is nothing special and on our day this line-up is strong. COYR! Edited December 26, 2016 by Benni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonGreat Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Would like to have seen Tammy dropped today, as he's been wasteful lately. Needs a break. We could've replaced him with...Oh wait, there isn't anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman and Matthews seem to work well together with Matthews overlapping well. At least the impression I got from Brentford, they were our main creative outlet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I am still at this stage on the glass half full side, but I really have to say so far I am very disappointed with some of the summer signings, a lot of money invested and little or no return, let's hope January will be better, I don't think it will personally the excuses have already been put into place ready for disappointment. And sorry for the negativity but I expect nothing today, that way I will not be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite Red Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Team looks crap, worried about the physicality, 1 up top, zero pace, players playing out of position. I fear the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're playing Tomlin on the left we'd be better with a good defensive left back (Golbourne) imo. Also, will be interesting to how Brownhill goes today - very much an unknown quantity. It might well work, who knows? Here's hoping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Joe at left back really is getting me down. The only upside is when we are chasing the almost inevitable goal we do have a winger on the pitch. Grrrrrr i don't see the midfield be anything other than Freeman and Brownhill wide Pack and Reid in the middle with Tomlin behind Abraham. (Maybe Reid behind Abraham depending on whether LJ has learned anything) God we need a ball winning enforcer in the midfield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
