317 Wolves appearance puts him just outside the all time top 30. A major part of the Europa season & Nuno's leader on the pitch. He helped take us to within touching distance of the top 6 & he leaves exactly 7 years to the day he made his debut. Cheers Conor mate,respect from me.
In a week when yet again Wolves have been let down by a player who didn't even want to be here in the first place, it was good to see a guy who's no longer wanted at the club give everything he had for the team. Injuries may have caught up with him but a true professional....👏👏
Nuno built a togetherness at Wolves that I doubted we would see again after it was destroyed by Lage. Relegation favourites for many at the start of the season, one bloke had the balls & self belief to take it on. He's made us believe & love our team again, the photo says it all
If Neves & Moutinho are leaving in the Summer, I hope it's announced before the Norwich game because this pair deserve a standing ovation from a packed Molineux last home game of the season. They have both given more than we could have ever hoped for & will leave as legends......
If we had just signed Fabio and this was his first game in a Wolves shirt £35million would look good value. He didn’t set his fee,he’s still a young lad, but his improvement over the last 12 months is there for all to see. Superb on and off the ball first half along with Podence
Sad to see Raul's time at Wolves ending like Conor's. In years to come the record books will show they were an ever present part of the Nuno team that took us to a European quarter final, FA Cup Semi final and 2 top 7 finishes in the most competitive League in the world. Respect
The only reason there is no camera angle is because it would have shown the linesman was wrong and the goal should have stood. It's corrupt and we all know it....
144 years ago today Wolverhampton Wanderers FC was formed. One of the 12 founding members of the Football League, pioneers of European floodlit competition,4 times FA Cup winners,3 top division triumphs & 2 League Cup wins.Home of Legends, second to none,Out of darkness....
#wwfc
No better club or fans to be the underdog than Wolverhampton Wanderers. It's in our blood,us against the world, we bounce back, always have & always will. We are a Premier league team this season & we will be the next. Fuck the doubters........Out of Darkness Cometh light
No Lemina, no Hwang, played most of the game with ten men. When we went 1-0 down just before half time a lot of Wolves teams in the past would have given up. These boys have got bollocks, never give up & fight for everything...we have got a team again
Wolves have never needed to rebuild a team in the Premier League before because we have never stayed in the World's top division long enough. Sunday will most likely be the last home game for several players who took us to Europe,Cup semi final & the top 7. Going to be emotional
Ruben Neves & Conor Coady loved Wolverhampton Wanderers football club. They embraced the supporters and the City, for Pedro Neto it was just a job & a stepping stone. The first two will be remembered with legendary status, class & respect cost nothing ……..
In the mid 50's Wolves were proclaimed Champions of the World & invented floodlit European competitive football. In 1982 Aston Villa won the European Cup. None of that matters a flying fuck because in 2021-22 Wolves beat them home & away. Only one top team in the Midlands 🧡🖤
Christmas Eve,showing worldwide on Sky TV. This is the first idea I have seen that would work but only if thousands did it….Blow the whistle on incompetent referees
105 appearances for England,90 as Captain.Never booked once & spent his entire career at Wolverhampton Wanderers,winning the FA Cup in 1949 & winning the League in 54,58 & 59. Ballon d'or runner up 1957. Harry Kane - won sweet FA but a few diving awards. Levels to being a legend
Pep did us a massive favour today playing Nunes. Got the crowd up for it from the start and the players responded. Got to give GON massive credit, tactics and substitutions spot on, every player gave 100% with Neto & Semedo 10/10. Kind of game & atmosphere I thought had long gone
Founders of the football league, pioneers of European cup football, first player in the World to reach 100 International caps and now the first to take on VAR. We may not win this battle but we had the bollocks to fight...Wolverhampton Wanderers, Billy & Stan would be proud today
For some people it will be years down the line that they realise just how good those couple of seasons were under Nuno. We feared no one & on our day we could beat anyone. Jimenez, Coady, Jota were all massive pieces of the jigsaw and for that they deserve massive respect.....
You can spend millions,buy the best players in the world,have 3 or 4 for every position,but you can’t buy team spirit.That is built by manager,Captain and players over time. Wolves may have a relatively small squad in Premier League terms but the spirit is second to none.
#wwfc
Since Nuno left Lage as had to work under his shadow & with a system he inherited but didn't want to play.He asked for reinforcements & is finally getting them. Conor personified Santos Wolves & the umbilical cord is now cut. This is now Lage's Wolves team in both name & style...
When he lit up the Championship never in a million years did I imagine he would still be with us now. The best Wolves player of this generation & still not at his peak. He gets the club,the history & the fans. He will leave a true club legend, Happy 26th birthday Ruben Neves....
I have always said, in my lifetime, Peter Knowles was the most gifted footballer to wear the Old Gold & Black. Joao Moutinho pushed him very close but in the last couple of years this guys all round games just got better & better. Happy Birthday
@rubendsneves_
the best of the lot
If ever a footballer was born to play for a fanbase it is Diego Costa & Wolverhampton Wanderers. He's already got hero status & will get backing from the stands not seen at Molineux for many years. Let the fun begin & hide the VAR monitor.....
Neves,Moutinho & Silva cost Wolves a combined £58 million. Football is a team game, not about one individual. One absolute legend nearing the end of his career, another approaching his prime years and a young lad still making his first steps. All 3 played their part last night...
Been going up Molineux since 1968 and I hold my hands up, that's probably the best visiting team I have ever seen. No disgrace in losing to Man City, they are a different gravy.....
On this day in 1877,Wolves,then known as St Lukes played their first ever competitive game v Stafford Road reserves losing 8-0. Although records are few & far between from the game it's rumoured they were denied 4 clear penalties, had 2 players sent off & the ref was Mike Dean..
They were throwing bottles at him because he took the piss and now because they have also bottled promotion Wolves get an extra £5million which pays for him…Funny old game
I swear some of our fans want us to lose. Negative tweets even when we score 4 away from home and comfortable in mid table. Hopefully strengthen in January & Neto back for Everton,team spirit is superb & all the signs are positive. Up the Gary O'Neil barmy army....
If a fan steps one foot on a pitch he's accountable. If a player makes a poorly timed challenge,he's accountable. Manager complains,he's accountable. Can someone please tell me how a complete useless fucking clown with a whistle & an over inflated ego can ruin a game and is not?
When JL took over we were rock bottom of the Premier League with no sign of that changing.We are currently in our most comfortable position all season,having beaten 3 of the big 6 at Molineux ( Spurs,Liverpool & Chelsea) Without conceding a goal. Some wanted him gone last week...
Simply the biggest signing Wolves have made under Fosun and we already have Joao Moutinho & Ruben Neves. This is a statement addition,not only saying the 'Project' is back on track but to other players to come and join us.......The Wolves are coming
Really hope this bloke hits the back of the net before the season ends. He may have come at the end of his career & is obviously a mere shadow of what he once was,but still gives it everything he's got. One of the very best strikers of the Premier League era & he wears our shirt
£100 million spent & gone backwards.Lost our style,identity,the will to compete & the connection with the fans.The medical/fitness team are an embarrassment,Jeff is clueless & Lage lost the players weeks ago.They don't like him for a reason,he's totally out of his depth.He's gone
This blokes just achieved his lifetime ambition & is now going to party until he drops. A special talent who's not changed one bit,Jack the lad who I used to hate but I was wrong. He's every single one of us who dreamed of playing professional football,untouched by the PR machine
Umbro Holy Grail shirt arrived today. Until this week I had only ever seen 2 before,both without number. This one is matchworn in great condition apart from its been washed in bleach.Common with these older shirts but for some reason didn't affect the number.Rare & stunning....
Saiss along with Coady probably thought his days were numbered at Wolves when they were benched by Lambert & Nuno came in.Conor's story is known the country over but massive respect to Romain for his part in some of the best seasons in my lifetime. I wish him well for the future
Mario Lemina's given everything for this club since the day he signed. Only right that we now give him our full support back. Family over football every time....
Reasons to be cheerful, part one
Still in the Fa Cup
Still in with a chance of Europe
Still got Ruben Neves
Still got an excellent starting eleven
We all want more players & yes we are a couple of injuries away from big problems but there’s fuck all we can do other than support
Quite simply the greatest footballer to ever wear the Old Gold and Black.Our most successful Captain & the first in the world to reach 100 caps for his country, most of them as Captain. Never sent off or booked in his entire career, happy heavenly 100th birthday Billy Wright...
For Wolves to stay up this season we are going to need someone to score in double figures.Assuming we are not going to sign someone my opinion is our best hope is Fabio.The football brain is there, he is getting stronger & faster just lacking in confidence. Get behind the lad 👍
I know I piss some people off with my shirt posts so don't do many now,but Bully's matchworn number 9 from 86-87 in which he scored the first goals of his record 306 is more than worthy of a mention....
He came into a club which had been relegated 2 seasons running and completely turned it around. The job he did at Wolves should never be underestimated,top top man.
Imagine coming from a Champions League team & the best in France. Seeing the manager that signed you leave then hardly get a look in for months. To then have the mental strength & professionalism to do what he did off the bench yesterday is special.Waited for his chance & took it
For years I have gone to games more in hope than anything else. Now I think we can win every time we play. This team and manager are special, take it from an old bastard, this happens once or twice in a lifetime, enjoy every single minute........
After defeat to Ipswich in the Carabo Cup late September Gary O'Neil was getting pelters from every direction. Just 4 days later he executed a tactical masterclass beating Man City, 24 games on & we are in touching distance of European football & Wembley. Respect & thank you 👏
Good as Nuno ball could be at times he never knew when or how to change things. Today was a tactical masterclass at half time. There will be many more bumps in the road before this season is out but we couldn't have anyone better driving the bus…..
So many things that are just right on the pitch now at Wolves but I’m once again going to pick out the one constant since Fosun took over. A captain and leader any club in the Premier League would be proud to have, take a bow Conor Coady….
Almost gave his life for Wolves & was a massive part of the team that finally got us European Football again. Will he ever play in the Old Gold again ? Personally doubt it but give him some respect & in fairness I wouldn’t trust our current medical staff either, would you ?
Brighton away is a ball ache at the best of times. Monday night in January is as bad as it gets. Throw in the fact it's live on Sky and you have to say that each and every fan who have travelled down are a cut above. Hope the boys give us the performance you deserve 👏👏
I have criticised Fosun in the past and no doubt will do again,especially over squad depth but....Wolves are now an established top ten Premier League club,run with minimal debt & again in with a good chance of Europe.The future is still shining bright,table & results show that..
My thoughts on yesterday
3 points was everything
Neto is trying too hard
Collins gets it and will be our next Captain
Kilman just gets better & better
Otto brilliant performance of old
Neves a Rolls Royce
Nunes will be the best of the lot
Good to see Hwang & Lage smiling...
Wolverhampton Wanderers number 9 shirt is special. Worn by some of the greatest footballers in our history. This is a massive show of faith by both the club & manager in a young lad who’s not had it easy since he arrived. Make yourself a legend Fabio, it’s been done before……
I have seen some calling for a boycott of the Liverpool replay or some kind of protest against VAR. What a load of bollocks, the only answer is to make Molineux the toxic cauldron we were known for and play the bastards off the park live on TV....
Enjoyed this game but VAR will ensure we never see the likes of another Wimbledon Fa Cup or a Leicester Premier League win. Blokes in a room now control football and can manipulate the result by picking the frame that suits them best. It’s not possibly corrupt, it’s definitely
Over the years I have seen many brilliant team performances but I'm struggling to remember the last one where I felt so proud of a team playing in a way that screamed Wolverhampton Wanderers. Grit, determination, 100% effort yet still with a stylish swagger.....Still smiling now
Every Premier League club should let season ticket holders vote on if they want VAR gone. If they did there would be overwhelming support for Wolves proposal, the exact reason that they won't.
Nuno was a yes man & Lage even more so. JL is a proven World Class manager who knows the squad is stale & needs major investment to get where he wants us to be. His stock is high & he won't take any shit from players or Fosun alike. They will back him because they have too.....
Most people won't remember this badge. We wore it on our shirt 64 years ago, the last time we won the FA Cup. People who say tonight's game doesn't mean much are wrong, for an old bastard like me it means everything. Give it everything, get into em & fuck em off, Wolves & proud..
I bloody love this bloke. Everything he's done in football at the highest level,yet he's still got the drive,hunger & pride to compete. Diego Costa wore our shirt, that will do for me....
Last time the full England side played at Molineux in 1956 my dad was there. Wolves were one of the best sides in Europe if not the World & were led out by our legendary Captain Billy Wright. Fact we are playing Hungary with the Honved link will make it one very special night….
Special mention for our number one. We have been lucky enough to have some brilliant keepers at Molineux but this guys got a passing range Wolves have never seen before. Rui was a world class shot stopper but Jose Sa is an all-round upgrade & will be even better in a back four...
One last moan. Dawson is a long established,quality Premier defender, in the best league in the World. To come into the team with very little experience at this level & cover for him is not easy, I thought Bueno did well & grew into it yet a few people were having a pop? Fuck off
If you cant be happy after that you are going to be well disappointed opening your presents. Lemina,Gomes & Semedo superb, atmosphere better than expected, enjoyable game & 3 points. Level on points with Chelsea at Christmas, we would all have taken that....
Had a fair few World Class footballers grace the Molineux turf down the years and this guy is now right up there with them. Skill,effort,attitude, he’s got the lot and can get better yet, hopefully still wearing the Old gold & black
Came to Wolves, his boyhood club, after a fantastic career at Manchester United and still gave everything he had left,game after game. Happy birthday Denis Irwin, Mr dependable….
Common knowledge he is my favourite player & this is why. He was as shocked as anyone when Nuno kept him then converted him to a defender,just loves playing football & genuinely loves our club. 300th appearance for Wolves tomorrow,many as Captain & the best since Mike Bailey….
On this day 59 years ago a man was born who was destined to be Wolves most important signing in our entire history. 1986-1999, from Tipton to Turin and the greatest football memories of my life, happy birthday Stephen George Bull MBE.....
The greatest Wolves Captain of all time was born on this day in 1924. Billy Wright CBE was the first man to win 100 International caps,105 in total with 90 as Captain of England. He led Wolves to 3 League Championships & 1 FA Cup & was never booked in his entire glorious career
Wolverhampton Wanderers was built on graft & tradition, players who remained humble throughout their careers & beyond. Even in the darkest of hours,all the fans asked for was 100% effort for the shirt. GON & the players we are signing seem to share that work ethic & those values
I like Costa, like him a lot. From being good as retired he's come back to play in the best League in the World even though his pace has gone. Saturday was the best he had played before the red card & without a doubt he's added something to the team. Don't write him off yet......
It's not just the manager or the players or the owners or Jeff Shi...it's all of them. Everything that was built under Nuno, systematically destroyed by bad decision after bad decision. It's 3 years of failing to build, failing to strengthen & failing to see what was coming.....
