    15-there will be no whingers if MM continues to accept what everyone else could see already, that Collins was a liability.

    100 goals and 100 points are realistic targets provided you play your best X1. We all know that there are 2 pieces of that jigsaw left to attend to and then we will romp home.

    That was as solid a performance as you could wish for, 8/10 all round. Special mention for Wardy at the back…class act mate!. What can i say about our new central defender except name your price Chelsea.
    This is the real deal all of you who are still unsure…WE ARE WOLVES!!!!

    Staffs Wolf-any comments on the game-Did you think the Burnley Squad was really deserving of their position in the C-Ship ?-Did you think that MK played better than the Cardiff game ?-What were Burnley’s tactics ?-Come on lets have some constructive comment on our display–Come on guy and gals make the Blogg interesting–Please please keep out the Baggies infiltrators

    Not the best game but two points nice to see our Mad Mick in his chair-At least he got hurt showing the lads how to do it—Looking great going into Xmas–keep it up please==Crazey dave

    Glad to see all the ‘Mick Out’ moaners have crawled back under their rocks! We are moving up in style and I think only Reading will be a serious challenge to us as champions. Great to see our old boy Keano take apart the Tescos! What a great weekend!
