I hope your right Mick and it’s a game we can certainly get something from.
As a wolves fan I have always hated playing teams that are on a poor run as they normally turn the corner when they play us….a part from Wigan that is! ;o)

Hear we go again the E & S ,talking as Everton will be there for the taking,as they’ve lost 6 of the last 7, but has they say Everton have lost to Chelsea twice, both Man Utd/Man City, and Liverpool/Newcastle. Lets not get to carried away although the win against Wigan was most welcome, lets not forget they had enough chances to win the match themselves, it just worked out on the day our finishing was better than theirs. Having watched us play Everton over many years, ive always found them a very hard team to beat at Home, never mind Away. So whilst we go their with a fair amount of confidence, and capable of getting a result, we still need to be a lot tighter at the back as a unit.GOOD LUCK LADS ON SATURDAY: UTW:

My mum used to say ‘if you can’t think of anything nice to say…don’t say anything at all’ – 2. Getsomein, my mum would be very disappointed in you. Do you trawl through every Wolves story to ensure that you can add a ‘Get Mick out’ comment put in. My team doesn’t need your sort of ‘support’ so please disappear to the Baggies boards, I’m sure they’ll be more interested in what you have to say.

Surely this is what he says every game… One result doesn’t turn a corner especially against a very poor wigan side…

Getting to the serious time now. A few good results including a couple of supprise wins and we could be in for a easy ride in the 2nd half of the season cause I truely feel the likes of Wigan (already down), Albion, Blackburn (down if Kean stays in charge) and also Norwich and Swansea will struggle, I just hope we don’t struggle as much…

Another season of finger biting….

Was delighted to see us beat (a very poor) wigan side last time out and think that this game against (a very poor) Everton side will give a better indication of where we are as a club.

To all those who said it is wrong to boo the team I point out this quote from Mick on the thread about contracts…

“I was always told that a little bit of insecurity makes you work harder, and it does,” said the boss.

I think he meant the players but it seems to have helped him to realise that he needs to do better too – so get the boo’s ready for next time!!!!!

To paraphrase Gary Player
“The better we play, the luckier we get”.
So stop talking Mick and get the team to start playing !!

Let’s all get behind the lads like we did against Wigan and hope that we can get something out of the Everton game.

Mick has truly run out of ideas if he thinks rubbing his lucky rabbits foot will get him a result.

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

Keep at it No 2. The more you want something, the more likely it is to happen for you, so they say. The rest of you lay off, every one has a right to speak up if they choose to, or would you all prefer it if we weren’t allowed to voice an opinion at all. Careful what you wish for …….

Looking forward to the game.

Always a great ground to go and watch Premier League football.

These are great days to be a Wolves fan – be careful what you wish for……

Nice to see the International break has brought a calmness back. A chance to reflect on the good things happening at the club, a time gain some perspective and to heal the wounds of the recent unpleasant exchanges. For example, read comment No.2 everyone. Marvellous…….

I hope MM is right. I’ve often thought that luck does seem to follow the brave or positive people, and Wolves could do with a point sure enough – three would be a godsend.

From reports on here, it looks likely that we were cash strapped during the transfer window, and that isn’t a problem for the fans to solve – full houses would help of course, but much finance comes by way of Sky etc and it came as a surprise to me that our prudent board in fact had the club’s finances stretched so tightly.

If as reported we are looking at the January sales with only loans in mind, and even those in respect of seemingly ordinary players, we will need quite a few good slices of luck between now and next May, and Saturday would be a good time for them to start arriving,

Best wishes to whoever plays and also those lucky enough to get to Goodison.

26 – I think you’ll find I am on here win or lose backing the team – not seen much of you though.
34 – any explanation for how being positive and pointing out success equates to being a supporter of the destruction and demoralisation of Thatcher? Just the mindset of the likes of Manchester, Exile and Eire and yourself I would have thought.

PS Pete – nice to see you back, hope this is not a sign of the waning of your love life!

Hi 42, think you have not concluded that in our days, successful teams need top-top playes and that these players cost MONEY. So, forget about being champs!! we only want to stay in the league a few years to try to build on good players who may cost around 100K but who develop into euro2012 qualifiers despite so-called fans who said he is not up to PL level.
Maybe, Trapattoni is also a thicko to select him in his team!
Even Man City have taken a few years to become a candidate for PL top despite the millions invested. Here, we do not have the dosh, (one top player is worth our whole team + MM ) and we are not bottom and still, some people are unhappy.

26 CAPITAL WOLF – Interesting how the moaners never have anything to say when we win.

42 wall street wolf – Your wrong. Since Mick has been here we have become a much more successful club than before he came, so to say he is taking us south like Thatcher is nonesense. He has managed to consolodate our position in the premiership and has built a team who in many peoples eyes are capable of finnishing mid table this season. Even if we just scrape survival again this season we would have still equalled last seasons position, which wont be the progress we all want, but also wont be going south as you say.

If we go down this season, I think it would be fair to say that we would still be in a much better position than when he came to this club, as we would keep hold of a few decent players, we would be financially better off than when he got here as well as having 2 years worth of parachute payments.

I think your comparision would have work if Thatcher managed to turn every single one of us into millionaires, but then struggled to progress further by turning us all into billionaires. Thatcher ran us into the ground, Mcarthey has given us our most successful period in many years, but other than that they are exactly the same.

Sue,
Noisy and Billy have been noticeably absent during our magnificent run of 1 point in 8 games but more so towards the end of the run.
As I said they will be disappearing again very shortly when, under Muppet’s stewardship, we embark on our next run.
Will you be up for defending your off-springs then?

Wall Street Wolf – I seem to recall being significantly better off as Thatcher stopped subsidising massively unprofitable industries that were run by unions holding the general population to ransom with ridiculous pay demands. My lower taxes gave me more disposable income and I was in a position to spend more on leisure activities such as going to see the Wolves play home and away when I felt like it.

By contrast, I’ll be cancelling my season ticket next season because the ludricous spending of the last government without encouraging more job creation to employ the extra half million social science graduates means I’m paying considerably higher taxes and have less disposable income.

Andy, I agreed with you the other day that by and large soccer is better today than in the 80s.But I cannot agree with the above.The root of current problems ,which started with Thatcher ,is personal greed.It is interesting that all you can refer to his your personal dIsposable income.So it was worth having a few more bob in pocket ,to destroy large swathes of British industry as a result of hideous high rates of interest.Many good companies failed because they could not afford to pay the banks.The monetary economist that Thatcher adhered to ,said on his death bed:’perhaps we were wrong with those high interest rates’.It was a bit late by then.

Sounds like one win makes a season.ie.the Wigan game.Just remember that the Wigan forwards were absolutely atrocious in front of goal.Wolves defensive frailties still remain.MM is in danger of setting himself up for a big fall.

I would like to take issue with you Exile – I have never been away – look back through those 7 weeks without a win and see how often I didn’t post after a match. Still not cheering me up by telling us how much you bet on Wigan though?

However, much more wound up by Andy – how anyone looking back could think what Thatcher did was a good idea is beyond me. We don’t hardly actually make anything any more. She left us in the hands of her famous ‘service’ industries. The bankers shafted this country with greedy speculation and reckless lending. Now they are still destroying one country after another by charging punitive interest rates.

58 – the right to say what you think in a sensibly argued way is fine. You are right we were shockingly bad against Swansea and we didn’t deserve a point.

However to be abused by the likes of Exile, who came on here before the game saying he would be betting on Wigan as they would definitely beat us, only to return after to say winning proved nothing, is another matter altogether. Don’t even get me started on the ones who said they wanted us to lose so McCarthy would get sacked.

Any victory is success, I know it was two weeks ago, and only Wigan but I for one feel better going into todays game on the back of it (better than the alternative)I suppose its easier to be negative coz we aint manure or citeh so our win % is not going to be that good so playing the averages your going to be more right than wrong. Me I’ll be clapping like a seal when we do anything good today and keeping a dignified silence if we dont
COME ON YOU WOLVES I know its possible but I expect nothing
