Molin-Me, Molineux. Ah-ha!


What do you mean it doesn’t make any sense? Whatev’s.

This should be where we begin to amble into focus, allowing us a modicum of perspective in light of the 2 heavy defeats we’ve already suffered to the sides that will probably be duking it out at the top for the lion-topped silver goblet at seasons end. Wolves, far from being an easy proposition, nevertheless represent our most realistic chance yet to post some prime premier pointage. I say ‘should’… *Spurs related lamentation*…you know the rest.

With new faces comes new hope among our lot. For those who didn’t think he was good stuff already, Scott Parker got himself a MOTM in that groovy black England jersey to celebrate his escape from the East End, and show us what we’ve been missing so far this season. His skill set and personality traits should be just the ticket for tomorrows dust up. Adebayor as well, yearning for the comfort of a loving home after losing his way a little should be Keane like Robbie to make a good impression on his new foster club. He’s famed for starting quickly, and he’ll need to if we’re going to get more goals than them.

New faces to old faces, as our midfield will be facing none other than former Ramos favourite Jamie O’Hara. They say you are what you eat, and followers of his twitter account will know he’s partial to a bit of Nobu. Despite being a bit of a twit, I always quite liked Jamie and his Essex boy snarl, and have seen poorer players retained during his loan stints and subsequent perma-tran to the olden golden of Wolverhampton. His comments about hoping Spurs get knocked out of the F.A.Cup in the hope he’d get to play for Pompey in the final didn’t do him any favours, and the granting of that wish was probably the final nail in his Tottenham career coffin. Still, he’s a decent technician with an attitude befitting his new surroundings and will be one to watch. Especially from range.

Not usually one for line-ups, but it’s fun writing the new lads names down, so lets have a go: BBB, Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, BAE, Livermore, Modric, Parker, Bale, Kranjcar, Adebayor in a sort of 4-2-3-1 type dealey. If that’s too radical, take out Livermore and Krankie for Lennon and Defoe. Either way, I’m sure I’ll be wrong.

3 points, if you'd be so kind.

  1. not an easy prospect. wolves are set up really well this year, not many teams will give them a hiding at any point, and they'll likely finish top half.

    but we must get points (a point?) from this game, or else it's 2 points from 8 games territory.

    adebayor could really make the difference for us now; much more movement and speed than crouch. and hopefully modric to turn up.

  2. Not easy at all. Was surprised to see them struggling so badly last year as i'd always been impressed when the chance arose to see them. Looks like they've got their act together this season though.

    3 points would be on a par with the surprise we all had when we beat sunderland away last year. Hate to say it but i'd probably take a point, but hoping Ade can be the difference.
