Sensible and considered opinion. As an impartial observer he more often than not gives an objective view of where we are than the average fan who blindly backs or criticises the team, depending on which camp they’re in.

The first game of the season Graham Stack had the game of his life. We owe them one and to be fair I think we are going to give somebody a hiding soon. That said, I would be happy with 1-0 and the fans getting behind the boys like last sunday, which by all accounts especially in the south bank were superb. I think blues will drop points this weekend away to sheff utd, possibly a draw.

1 – What did Mr Swain really say – apart from the usual stating the obvious? An “objective” point of view? Which bit do you mean? – Wolves were like the Wolves of old – as in back in September or was it the bit about the first half an hour – when we looked the part (I’m sure everyone else that had eyes saw the same thing) Or was it the bit about if we win in March we could almost be promoted?

One of the definitions of the word “objective” refers to a “goal or aim” – Apart from stating the obvious that nearly all of us already know – What was Mr Swain’s goal or aim my friend?

And as for “considered” – again the definition of this word is “thought out with care” – Please tell us all How does Mr Swain state the obvious and do this?

Another thing – Is Mr Swain really impartial – If so, How do you know? Are you Mr Swain – a friend, colleague?

NB* this final bit tends to suggest that the average fan (whatever that means) is eh – thick/ maybe a better word “nugget” who either bilndly backs (eh – has faith in) or criticises (eh- has an opinion – how dare they!)

Are you really MM in disguise?

NB* Before you type out such garbage my friend – put brain in gear – unless of course you work for the E & S or the club so it doesnt matter anyway!

NB* Most Wolves fans are in my view “salt of the earth” and deserve far far better than your comments suggest, MM’s comments etc etc and are in no way thick or deserving such “cack handed” comments

UP THE WOLVES!

5 The Ususal Suspects

My god you are on a roll today, how about stating your own thoughts as others are instead of analysing what everyone else says??

This is a “message board” lets not forget that which encourages opinion, or did I somehow get that 1 mistaken like num.1??

Interesting take Mr Suspect. I am unsure what you expect him to say. A sports journalist is just like you and me, A bloke with an opinion. What are you looking for?

Report abuse

9 You’re probably right PS – I dont know what I expect from him really – maybe a tad more than the flaming obvious???

What would you expect of Mr Swain?

Usual – I’m neither ‘Mr Swain’ nor an employee of E&S or Wolves. I am a supporter of more than 30 years.

It’s nice to see that you needed a dictionary to get a definition of ‘objective’ and ‘considered’.

In the context of my post, I used the word ‘objective’ to describe that ‘Mr Swain’ is able to write his article from a neutral point of view – therefore giving an ‘objective’ opinion. We, as Wolves fans will give a ‘subjective’ opinion as we have a love for the club and an often biased view on things.

I think he gave a ‘considered’ view as it is his job (and by the look of him has been his job for a long time) to report on local football. Therefore, he has a wealth of experience to draw his opinion from.

In no way was I trying to belittle the average fan, and my statement about some fans blindly backing the team was giving it their full support regardless of form.

Turning now to the MM comments, he may not be the most eloquent of people, but he knows the game and footbal management. We might disagree on whether he will ultimately be a successful manager for Wolves or someone else (and I will reserve my judgement until the end of the season), but for now he picks the team and has my support.

NB* I think you are the one who makes cack-handed comments and clearly think that ‘Mr Swain’ is a below average reporter. I don’t, and therefore we have a difference of opinon, that’s all.

You didn’t hurt my feelings at all, I just felt that you needed an insight into my opinion as you missed it the first time.

Grow up and stop looking to create an argument from nothing.

And by the way, I’m not your friend – ner ner ner ner nerrrrr…

16 neither am I PS – just reading the comments above says it all – I’m not your friend – oh dear and I’m being told to grow up – Speaks volumes

Well have to say a big thank you to VF – It made me chuckle – Swain gets an oscar for an average article and VF denies that he’s upset!

PS* VF As I said already – I replied to what you actually stated – It doesnt require a degree to work it out – my friend (meant in a genuine caring manner) Dont take it so personal – Anyway (genuinely from the heart)Have a Nice Day! – No reply required! ;-)
