Terryplayoffsifweareluckybaggie.
you are at wembley in the Semi finals not the final. still you can have a nice big bonfire on sunday and burn the flag.
Going nowhere the moany mowlbury way.
you are already all making excuses. if we dont go up and dont win the cup it doesnt matter cos we have had a great season.
what ambition. what a load of crap.
why cant you just be honest.

I totally agree with you Michael despite you being a wanderer!!. If we don`t win either the cup or promotion (but preferably promotion) the season will be a total failure. I can`t understand fans that will be happy if we don`t win anything but say this has been a great season. Playing attractive football is nice to watch but it counts for nothing if you fail to win anything!!!. I hope I`m proved wrong but sadly I`ve got a nagging feeling that the season will drift away into nothing. BOING BOING.

depends where youre going from.
Chiltern train runs from Kiddi thru S/bridge, Hawthorns, Snow Hill etc../ all the way to Wembley station.
Prices are ok if you can get a family deal ticket, see website (google it) for details.
Catch one of the early ones (7am ish) and get there before 10am

NikG 4. We finished 4th under Ossie in 1993 and won the final, but if we hadn’t I would have still been delighted for Ossie to stay and try again because THE FOOTBALL was magical. You can have your boring 1-0 and promotion football for all I care, I much prefer the ToMO approach. Remember, Sir Alex Ferguson was 3 years getting Man.U. into a winning team and was clinging on with his finger nails to his job at one stage. WINNING ISN’T EVERYTHING. I want to be entertained too. The winning will follow.

For all you wolfs out there going on about form. Over the st 6 games the points total for the top 6 is as follows:
Hull 15/18, Wolves 11/18, Albion 9/18,Stoke 7/18
Bristol City 6/18, Watford 5/18. So unless you are a Hull it seems the pressure is getting to all. As for the season being a failure if we win nothing, I don’t think so Rome was not built in a day. Keep the faith we still it all too play for. Oh its a new ground in London that the Wolves will never see Wembley, Wembley.

you was winning and playing attractive football and now you are not.
i think you might be doing it the wrong way.

if you play great football all the time but never go anywhere eventually all the quality players will leave your club to play at the top level and pretty soon you will not have the finances to replace them, then where would your club be.
in a right mess that is where ask your chairman what he would rather have brilliant football or promotion.
in an ideal world every fan wants both but if you have to choose and you want the best for your club it has to be promotion.

Ignore all the stupid dingles comments on here its jealousy they’d love to be in our position. win or lose we will have a great day and a great season. All that jealousy coming from dingles that wanted to sack their manager and board a month ago.

Totally agree lisa, the dingles are the most fickle fans in football. Mick Mcarthy is much too good for them. We went on a dippy run, lost a few, but we weren’t saying sack the board and the manager. I think they would still find something to moan at if they had the chance to do the double, and did it.
We are playing to an international audience of millions tomorrow, so lets enjoy the game. Bednar, mooted to be the new astle, will score in the 81st min, and we will win 2-1. But i can see a helter skelter of emotions before that point.
