As alluded to earlier what has happened to traditions. As a kid Wolves always wore 'old gold' shirts and as recently as I can recall that has always been the case. Wonder how the older Wolves fans view the current colour. Seem to have sold well though so I suppose that's all that matters.

Very surprised Wolves didn’t give it more of a go in the second half.

At least Wolves managed to score, unlike the other two promoted teams.

One thing in our favour is that our defensive organisation and quality of defending is a class above anything Wolves will offer this season.

Even without winning the league they still got into Europe. Yes the regular top 6 were “in disarray”, but nobody else seized the opportunity.

Particularly Spurs. You’d have thought it would’ve been them taking advantage of the rest of the Top Six saying, “After you, Claude.”

Spurs in fairness were still emerging under Pochettino that year. Arsenal were the real bottlers that year, only ones with stability

In his defence, which is most unlike me, as overall I don't think he knows much about football. However, he said it back in April.

"I wonder if they can keep hold of a World class player like Neves even after promotion.."

I think they were the ultimate After You Clauders that year. I think Wenger had forgotten how to win a League by then.

Seeing as everyday is a school day, has he ever been involved in an unfasionable team qualifying for a Europa League Spot?
Players like Moutinho don't play for unfashionable hoofball teams so probably not. 113 caps for Portugal, European Championship medal, do you think he gives a crap about unfashionable clubs with fans claiming reaching the 2nd round qualifying phase of the Mickey Mouse cup is an achievement? We haven't even qualified for the tournament yet :lol:

Poor result for both sides in different ways.
Many more of them and the pressure will start to build.
We already know Silva doesn’t react well to pressure.

The title of "World Class" is just handed out these days for not a lot.

Well you were positively gushing over Moutinho as well and I’m sure you’ve bummed up Rui Patricio during the World Cup.

I’ll confidently predict that Wolves finish below us this season.

Just please keep up with the conversation and stop putting words in my mouth, arguing against things I never said, basically arguing with yourself. Embarrassing.

Don’t scoff at him. He knows all about these players because he watches a lot of foreign football. Not because he plays a lot of Football Manager.

Wolves defence looked a bit shaky against a not great Everton side, strange they didn't push for a win. I shudder at the thought of their wage bill. Nice that they brought a home grown player on at the end.

That's true, although I have played a total of 6 hours on Football Manager in my life. I don't know why you're still sticking your beak in, stick to watching Bordeaux.

They won't win the Premier League within 7 years regardless of how much they throw at it. They might just make the top 10 this season.
