rumour as it steve morgan wants to change your name to wolverhampton city then you will have the initials WC, suits you sir boing boing
Report abuse
does anybody know when the premier league fixtures come out,cant wait to see who we put to the sword first,boing boing going up the MOWBURY WAY

Just listened to Jez Moxey interview on Talksport. Appears that if Steve Morgan stays then so does Merlin Mick. Seems that your best chance of getting rid of Mick is if Morgan decides to get involved in taking over his beloved Liverpool. The downside of this is that he’s a house builder and may decide to utilise Molineaux in this way. Despite being such a deprived area there are probably still some asylum seekers that would be glad to live there.

Must be the same rumour we’ve all heard that you may change your name next season to We Boomerang Always – They always return to where they’ve originated i.e. The Championship !!

I doubt Kris Boyd would go to WBA or Reading he’s already playing for a far bigger club.

I really am begining to hope that you do stay up if you go! Then perhaps the web site’s will have some sane comments instead of your inane childlike ramblings. By the way are you like me retired or just unemployable?
No, good luck in the top division, the more midland clubs up there the better. Next year God and Merlin willing we should be joining you. So don’t get relegated first season will you. I want to see Wolves help do that.
Up The Wolves.

i think west brom should look at youngster sean geddes because he’s a hot prospect in my opinion with masses of talent, he would definetly fit into tony mowbrays squad, he could be something to look out for in the near future! “sign him up”
Report abuse
liam-wolf – masses of talent? i doubt it. Ive seen him and he has a bad boy attitude on a football field and is very cocky im surprised all these club are even interested in him.
Report abuse
7.. I agree to be fair we should from this position, of course we should get promotion but with our football club you just never know.
8. I honestly dont think mad mick will be there next season. The rumour I heard was that Eastwood was going and Morgan stopped the move that to me says one of them is going and the owner wanted Eastwood to stay make of that what You will.
I actually know a few people at wolves and they have told me that Billy Davies is virtually a permanant fixture at your place and that he is good mates with morgan.
In my humble opinion “Big Sam” may not be a bad shout but that all depends on who gets sacked in the premiership over the next month or 2

Are wolves fans STILL posting the old “he won’t go to you lot” posts about players ??
Did you not learn when you posted the same old thing about Brunt (only go to the prem), Morrison (won’t drop out the prem), Miller (will stay at Man City), Moore (won’t leave villa), ect ect….
Face it – good players WANT to play for our gaffer – we have attracted quality players to a championship team – just imagine what he will do when we are a prem team.
I know its more salt on an open wound – but you now have to watch us sign a procession of top quality stars throughout the summer.
Still – I’m sure Graham Stack and Kevin Kyle will be forcing their way into your first team very soon.

Good luck Tess next season enjoy going to the big clubs must be wembley ever week for you, mind you you are used to losing at wembley every time and see you when you come DOWN AGAIN as you always do.

Players only come for the money in the Prem Happy so get real …
Report abuse
we need a keeper anyone know a good local one who wants prem football who mowbray watched last week?? i think we are 5 players from a side who can hold thier own…cech,fedinand,terry,gerrad,and tores now lets see how our chairman reacts!!! i hate to say this but this year will be alot better than next!! is this the best season ever to be a baggie i have watched them for along time and cant think of better!!cant wait for monday yabadabadoo!!!
Report abuse
17 – if Messi was to come “for the money” and kept us up I wouldn’t care a hoot.
But TM will not be signing any mercenaries – his philosophy of team spirit and togetherness will ensure that any new signing wants to play for the shirt – and will have to prise it from the fingers of another top quality player.
Please don’t get us confused with your end of career, last paycheque journeymen – Colin Cameron anyone ??
Report abuse
kris boyd would go to reading or wba why
1. he not in the rangers team, he usually a sub behind darcheiville and cousain!
2. premier league is better league to test yourself in rather than 4games v celtic and the odd wobble vs minor team
3. he want to break into scotland first xi
only way he wouldnt want to join team like baggies is for some reason they somehow failed to get up which extremly unlikely
Report abuse
OK then. I am here to be shot down but here goes! Eastwoods DAD said that he was going to Coventry and his agent basically said that he would pay to take The Wizard (Yes I an STILL behind him) and Moxey ( I think, it may have been Morgan…I am trying to be as accurate as I can here) to see Eastwood play for Wales in Luxembourg. Basically if they then still thought he was a waste of time then fair enough, leave! He did quite well in that match and that is why they kept him. Believe me or not but that IS the Truth, well according to Freddies REAL Dad it is!

HB, never bitter but I hope that the quality!! blends with what you already have.
Good luck in the Prem.
Up the Wolves

HAppy Baggie rest assured you will see an awful lot of messy next season

Happy
The clear thing for us all to say is oh your only going to come back down, but i’m not going to get into that rubbish, as I actually think you got a chance. You need quite a few new players, but I think TM is a good manager and could be the one to sign them.
As far as your concerned the word arogance comes to mind (which dissappoints me as I genuinely enjoy your posts, but feel you become embroiled in pointless digs with our idiot posters).
Well done Albion.

I’m now convinced ‘terrystilltopbaggie’ doesn’t have a job….a life….or indeed ever had an English teacher.

16. If we do come back down, then maybe you will be in Division 1 by then, as that is your only route out of The Championship.
Report abuse
Realist – having recently had a 6/8 post dialogue with you on another thread i am aware that you view my every word as a direct assault on wolves – which is not the case. I have posted many “well done” posts on your pages when due, and at least i do see both sides.
Just because I answer a point about albion with a point about wolves does not mean I’m taking the p**s – just making a point, and maybe using banter to do it.
I know this is a difficult time for wolves fans as the baggies are happy and you aint – so maybe its best to either keep away or grow thicker skin.
Report abuse
Would like us to secure promotion first given we havent done that yet! Bit carried away with transfer talk me thinks!

I think all your posts are, just your recent ones. Whilst your no doubt more happy with Albion than we would be with Wolves i’m still happy enough with them and look foraward to next season, regardless if we make the play offs or not this season.
I see your point maybe about the banter, but also seen you take it personal when aimed at Albion.
Might keep away from the boards for a bit like you remarka.

Should say don’t think.

Happy – please don’t quote Luke Moore – an awful player with attitude. I know Mowbray is waiting to secure your promotion but in terms of transfers the first thing is a goalie and back 4, as frankly your defenders like ours, they are nowhere near good enough for the premiership. This what makes me laugh with McCarthy, Mowbray, Venus – all ex-defenders and play dross at the back!
Report abuse
I agree with comments about the back four. Alot of it stems from a lack of confidence in the ‘keeper and I think TM needs to sort that out asap. The defenders are ok pretty much and need a little more confidence in whats flapping around behind them!
Report abuse
31 – Luke Moore “an awful player with attitude” – based on what ? Because he got sent off ??
Or is it because he joined the albion ?
I’m sure if had joined wolves we would have heard “Moore is gonna get ya” or “Young hungry England international” – week after week (till we beat you of course).
Personally I rate Moore very highly and if he does join us he will be a great player for many seasons.
You stick with SEB and Kyle and leave worrying about real goal scorers to us.
As for the defence – you may think breen, craddock Collins etc are dross (no argument from me), but i think its more dingle wishes if you think our defence is like yours.
We play an open game which some teams have benefited from – but our goals tally looks ok to me so I think I’l trust ToMo on that one.
Report abuse
The way you talk Happy_Baggie, you won’t need any new players. The Premiership Title shall be yours. As you’re so good in all areas.
Report abuse
34 – don’t be silly. All i said was that I rate Luke moore,and that our defence is better than some people make out.
We have a squad of good players who play football the right way, and there no player I would take from another championship club and put into our first team….even Hennesey and kites would not walk into our team, but TM has better scouts than that so I’m sure we will see some great new additions.
Report abuse
fair comment, seems to be the only wolves fan with a decent brain. if boyd was to join us thn thats because of the attractivness of the football under Tony Mowbray

33) Most Villa fans will tell you that selling him to you for over £3 million is great business. They say he was good but has a chip on his shoulder.
As for your defence, they have conceded more than us and the goalie too old. Forget the open football. Man Utd play probably the best football of that type, yet concede the least.

All quiet at the custard bowl today. Coz no-one wants to play for Mad Mick with a bunch of jeering bitter fans watching them lose to Championship sides week in week out. Wakey Wakey Wolves fans you’re doomed to another season of obscurity.
