MGW is not back, also Atletico rumoured to be keen on Semedo to replace Trippier! Fabio to start on Sunday? FWAW.
1.) 05 Jan 2022 23:32:58
MGW confusion has been caused because he is back at Compton for treatment for his current injury not because of any recall. Seemingly people added 2+2 and came up with any result that suited whatever story they wished!
23 Oct 2021 09:33:54
Worrying news regarding Neto, seems unlikely he'll play this season! FWAW and Mind the gap.

BBC Scotlands Chief football correspondent, Tom English, described Fabio Silva style of play as 'like an octopus falling out of a tree ', Oh dear! FWAW

And perhaps he was being gentle.
2.) 23 Apr 2024 11:59:37
I think it's because he keeps getting caught in ten-tacles!
3.) 23 Apr 2024 12:18:33
That'll boost his confidence when he hears/reads things like that. We're going to take a massive hit on this one to get rid.
4.) 23 Apr 2024 12:21:34
It's reported that Calamari FC are looking to sign him.
5.) 23 Apr 2024 12:52:15
We'll get a few squid for him I reckon.

Newcastle 4 West Ham 3, Proper football is back! Come on me babbies. FWAW!
1.) 30 Mar 2024 15:06:18
Not a pen for Newcastle 2nd IMO. Var taking a lot of time to state the bleeding obvious on the 1st. But fair play to the magpies coming back from 3-1 whilst losing players all over. Gordon is a s**t of a cheat with no need to be with his talents, should of gone long before he did. Great game tho Preston. Let's hope we can surprise and upset things tonight. COYW
2.) 30 Mar 2024 19:26:22
Utter xxxx,
Can't see us winning another game rest of season
Played as if it was 0-0.
Instead of 2-0 down
How sarabia is still on the pitch
God knows, should av been subbed first
3.) 30 Mar 2024 19:47:34
The defence just looks so poor without Dawson there to organise.
We need Cunha back ASAP.
4.) 30 Mar 2024 19:51:08
Got to agree greyleg we weren't showing any desire to get back in the game, but, I thought sarabia was one of our better performers tonight but his energy level dropped. At the start he doyle and samedo were winning things and creating things down the right but we hadn't got anything joining in the middle. I don't mind losing but we could have put a little more into it. Bring on west ham, I fear we may be caught at Burnley if we don't get some speed into our play. It's not season over yet though.
5.) 30 Mar 2024 19:57:31
Unbelievable, the criticism started, what is o Neil supposed to do when the squad is so stretched, we had no front line to speak of tonight, was always going to be a tall order to get anything from the game .
6.) 30 Mar 2024 19:57:43
Sarabia was still on the pitch cause there was no one else, we've run out of players! The fact that our bench is mostly academy players (most of which don't look ready) shows our complete lack of depth I'm afraid. The game was pretty even until the subs started and after that we had no chance and when you look at both benches it's pretty obvious why! I feel a bit sorry for GON to be honest, like the managers before him he's not being given enough tools to see the job through!
We need another big shake up this summer, we can't keep having players like Podence, Guedes and Fabio draining our limited wage budget whilst they play elsewhere. Each one of those players could have helped today but they don't want to be here so time to get um gone for good and use the wages to get players that do want to be here! It's a shame cause it feels like the season is just going to fizzle out and GON performance doesn't deserve that but he doesn't have the players. For the whole first half we are the better team but we never look like scoring cause after three seasons we STILL haven't signed an actual striker! Been a good season, better than we could have hoped for. But if we want to take the next step we need to do what Villa have done and build a decent sqaud rather than just a paper thin first team. Over to you GON and Hobbs ?
7.) 30 Mar 2024 20:02:00
I think JL must be having a wry smile. Until we get back at least 3 of our injured senior players we can't compete at least with the top sides. Villa are a good side, but they looked so comfortable in the second half. My biggest concern is that the likes of RAN, Gomes etc start to get frustrated and get itchy feet.
8.) 30 Mar 2024 21:06:12
Bang on Bully's Boy. If you can't worry the opposition up front, then their defence bolsters their midfield. I thought we did well with limited resources, and I praise the youngsters for giving it a go, but with all three main strikers out it was a tough call.
9.) 30 Mar 2024 22:36:17
Come on folks, GON has so little to play with. Even if we only manage a win or two in the remaining fixtures he's done a great job. We did what we had to do to avoid financial disaster pre season, and if we stay up without jeopardy its more than we could have hoped for.
10.) 31 Mar 2024 06:39:30
You are the voice of reason Matty.
We have to remember, thanks to Shi, O'Neil has not signed a single player and had to work with a limited squad.
"Goals for" are going hard to find for the rest of the season.
11.) 31 Mar 2024 09:48:55
Matty is right, but it's so frustrating to have come this far (better than we all expected) for it too fizzle out due to lack of squad depth. We're paying or subsiding wages to 'senior' loan players out at other clubs who I believe are doing well. In addition we have a so called wonderkid winger 'Enzo' who we signed for £5Mill who's not even making the bench, even in these desperate times. GON has done remarkable really and I sincerely hope that whoever, gives him a good budget in the summer. Bin these players off who either don't want to be here &/or can't make the grade. What JL did was unforgivable and cowardly walking out on us but maybe in hindsight his ambitions exceeded that of Shi's. We have a great first 11/13 but after that as we see throwing in youngsters who aren't ready yet. Let's hope we get something out of the Burnley game.
12.) 31 Mar 2024 11:04:23
My question after the points made above and how well we've done in exceeding our expectations on such a small squad is that Burnley are fighting for their survival, have we got anything left for this year? Sure a win at Burnley would set up a 6 pointer against West ham but are we genuinely 'fighting ' for European football?
13.) 31 Mar 2024 11:22:48
Understand everyone's comments.
But can only say what you see in your opinions, we all want us to do well.
I'm just relieved we are where we are, and it is down to go, and his staff, I think every supporter is entitled to an opinion. Positive or negative, how they see it.
But in the end we all love wolves
So as long as we stick together
Keep posting. And being friends
That's all that matters. To me anyway
Take care all. Coyw
14.) 31 Mar 2024 12:32:16
The issues for me are:
Dawson is such a brilliant organiser. Kilman, Bueno and Toti are all good defenders but they will make at least positional mistake each per game which at the moment seems to being punished. Dawson has the experience to lessen this.
Up front, we do not have anyone who runs at and worries the opposition defence. What we have learnt over the last 3 or 4 games is that Fraser, Chiwera and Chiwome do not have the experience at this time. Cunha, Neto and Hwang all run at the defenders and panic them into making a mistake. Cunha is brilliant at moving the ball forward and dragging defenders out of position allowing the likes of Hwang, Neto, Lemina to take advantage.
Hopefully Cunha is back on Tuesday and Hwang not far behind him too.
Fraser, Chiwera and Chiwome may or may not prove to be the answer in the long term but it us clear that they need either to go out on loan to gain experience or need to play a bit part here by coming off the bench and playing alongside Cunha, Neto, Hwang to learn their trade.
15.) 31 Mar 2024 12:45:37
Sarabia is garbage.and must be replaced. he's had 10 good mins all ssn. gon seems reluctant to make subs when theyr needed just like nuno.and I wouldn't be suprised if we don't win another game too
16.) 31 Mar 2024 13:27:14
So Buxwolf, given the current injury list, who would you put in ahead of Sarabia?
17.) 31 Mar 2024 13:43:06
I really don't get the sarabia thing. IMO he's one who tries to instigate a move. Maybe he looks poor because others aren't on the same wavelength. Reference the youngsters, poor young chimera was wanting balls played to run on to, but we kept turning back, not very adventurous tactically? Or not having confidence in the lad to hold onto the ball, or not wanting to take players to support him from defensive positions? Whatever, we've got to get something worked out in a front line. Personally I think Europe isn't an aim now, its just get whatever points we're able. Burnley could well embarrass us tues, unless of course Dawson returns and cunha is deemed fit.
A win at Burnley could well light the touch paper again and drive the team to overtake West ham sat.
18.) 31 Mar 2024 18:10:44
I agree Abbey, I actually think Sarabia sometimes suffers because he's thinking/playing at a technically higher level than those around him. There was a classic example yesterday in the first half, where he played an filthy ball through three defenders that would have been perfectly well weighted for any player running down that flank. Sadly our players just watched it role towards the bye line! I accept he's pretty erratic and was otherwise pretty poor yesterday. But the lad has techinal ability and is capable of a class delivery (all be it once a game). He also has international caps and played for some pretty big clubs (PSG being the last one)! So agree we probs haven't seen his best but I don't think that's all on him ?
23 Mar 2024 12:29:11
Well done ladies, last night, yet another win v the Tescos' FWAW .
1.) 23 Mar 2024 13:56:37
Well done indeed Preston. I have a question, do the Women's teams operate with separate accounts to the men's game and is the women's game subject to ffp constraints like the men's?
For example, if City are found guilty of all that they are accused of and get relegated as a punishment how would that impact on their women's team who could have benefited in a similar fashion as the men's, being the same club.
2.) 23 Mar 2024 16:24:28
This is a very good question Long mate.
How does FFP function in the women's game?
There is a lot less financial regulation in the women's game in the United Kingdom and Europe right now and that has led to calls for changes to be made.
In the Women's Super League, there is a salary cap which allows top flight sides to spend 40% of their turnover on wages. The issue with that is that those totals can be merged with the men's team within the same club, so the likes of Manchester United Women can spend 40% of a much larger pot of cash as the overall club of Man Utd generates so much money.
Man Utd's head of group planning and finance that has been recently calling for more financial regulation in the UK women's game so that a small set of teams do not kill the competitiveness of the division.
Speaking at the European Club Association's first women's football summit, Francesca Whitfield said: "Currently in the WSL we have a salary cap system which is 40% of revenue, but that includes parent club income, meaning the larger clubs naturally benefit from shirt deals on the men's side.
"That's creating a gap that is affecting the product and this can't be something that we just address domestically, this has to be something we address on a European level to make sure the European tournaments are the best and we're at the forefront of that."
In the Premier League right now, the rules allow for total losses over a three-year period of £105m. There are penalties in place for clubs that exceed that figure. Whitfield is aware that it is not as simple as copying the rules in the men's game as it is a different financial landscape.
"We can't simply emulate or replicate what we did on the men's side, the game is in a different space and we need to ensure that we can invest but equally attract investment, " said Whitfield. "Smaller clubs are not able to invest at that level, so how do we encourage them to do so if it's not a fair playing field and they can't possibly ever be competitive with how things currently are?"
3.) 23 Mar 2024 18:26:34
Thanks for the explanation Rated. This came to mind as I was watching Man U women v Man City women earlier.
From what you've said it seems that women's football needs some form of financial regulation as currently I suspect the parent club controls the spending based on the ROI but that as you say still gives the bigger clubs an advantage.

Is Cunha not a replacement for Raul? FWAW
23 Jan 2021 18:44:11
Sure DT, he was tweeting Trumpist conspiracy theories and compared Joe Biden to Hitler! FWAW.
23 Jan 2021 10:41:56
Great to see the scumbag Aston forced to resign as chair of Wolves Parliament. Do not need 'pondlife' like that associated with our great club. FWAW!
12 Dec 2020 15:51:47
Lack of 'fans' has been the best news for Veeela, ever! The South Bank will return, and Raul will be back, when Tom Daley sneaks off to City, they will crawl back to the Chumpionship. FWAW!
04 Nov 2020 15:33:08
Totally agree, TT. Whether you are Cutrone, Fabio, Corbeanu or anyone, it's difficult to get more than 5 minutes game time, with that pesky Raul. He's never injured, runs all day and night, works el socks off all over the pitch and our most likely goalscorer! We are so lucky that we have several players with the same attitude. Trust in Nuno!
23 Apr 2024 22:29:10
Brilliant and Silly, cheers all FWAW
16 Mar 2024 14:56:04
VAR, 5 minutes to make the wrong decision ; Lemina stood on the left touchline most of game ; My recycling bin would have done better than Fraser! I'm going to bed! FWAW .
15 Mar 2024 09:38:05
Yes, no replay!
14 Mar 2024 11:49:30
Cameron 2 Rae and Camara, was listening at Manchester Airport on way to Corfu!
02 Mar 2024 17:42:20
Didn't get the run of the ball today, but can't fault the commitment of the team, everyone put in a proper shift . Without Dubravkas' two quality saves, midway thru 2nd half, from Fraser and Sarabia we might have nicked something! Proud of the effort, never gave up. FWAW!
