Arsenal 2 Wolves 0

Jan 29, 2005 by

A bit of an observation from the Wolves match…

Henry – He’s a weird player who seems to only get fired up when he’s angry. Titi spent the first half doing virtually nothing but walk and stand. Nevertheless, after Mike “I-love-Man-U-and-everybody-knows-I-do” Riley robbed Henry’s first goal as usual, Titi turned himself into a lion and was our star man of the second half. By the way, the goal that never was, just like the one against Blackburn a season ago was LEGAL. Michael Oakes dropped the ball before he attempted a goal kick, Henry stole the ball away after the ball left Oakes’ hand, never had any contact with Oakes’ body part, and it’s ruled out???

Wolves vs. Arsenal Preview

Jan 28, 2005 by

Super scout, the Kentucky Gunner, has turned over the preview to a friend who has been a Wolves fan since the early 80′s. Though he lives and works in Louisville and has his entire life, he is tattooed with Wolves emblems and travels to Wolverhampton every year to catch a few matches. “I don’t know how it started but he is the purest fan I’ve ever met,” says Ken. That’s good enough for me…

Well here we go again another Cup match involving Arsenal who seems to be our bogey team in these situations. And considering Chelsea is almost certain to win the league we’re expecting Arsenal to field some more familiar faces than last time. Anything is better than getting thrashed by some 17 year old from the Democratic Republic of Congo like last season. Still, Wolves have sold their allocated 5,000 tickets days ago.

Wolves season has been just short of a complete disaster. Tipped as favorites to win the league by most bookies, problems on and off the pitch have made relegation look like a distinct possibility at times.

Should we field our strongest team against Wolves?

Jan 28, 2005 by

Preview is always KY’s job, but I hope he won’t mind if I have a say on this one as well – the F.A. Cup tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Wolves. Mainly because of their promotion run during the late 80s. Once English football giants, they had fallen from grace to as low as the old Division Four. Nevertheless, during the late 80s, they made two successive promotion runs from the old Division Four straight to Division Two in two seasons. And led by a front man named Steve Bull. In one of the seasons, he scored an amazing 49 goals in all competitions.
