Footballers in Unexpected Places

By Matt | May 7th, 2008

Last summer, whilst walking to work in Newcastle, I turned a sharp corner by the city library and came face to face with a living, breathing, Premier League footballer. Truth be know, at the time I wasn't sure if he was a Premier League or Football L ...

Video Highlights: Wolves v Plymouth

By Matt | May 6th, 2008

If you can bear to watch...here's the match highlights. Please note the handshake at the final whistle! ...



Olo Goal Not Enough as Big Sam Rumour Gathers Strength

By Matt | May 4th, 2008

Mick McCarthy's post match summary accurately summed up today's match and the season as a whole. A game in which Wolves played extremely well for the majority, creating chance after chance, but only managing to put one away. The story of the season. ...

Prediction: Playoff heartbreak for Wolves

By Matt | May 3rd, 2008

Will Wolves season be over on Sunday at 4pm, or will we be preparing ourselves for the playoff rollercoaster ride? Pride or pain? Hope renewed or stoic failure? Your guess is a good as mine. In fact the Championship has been so unpredictable this sea ...

If only....

By Matt | May 1st, 2008

I am sitting in my seat at Molineux. It’s 4.53pm on Saturday 19th April, 2008. I have my head in my hands, peeping through my fingers at what is happening on the pitch. A few seconds ago I was preparing myself to bask in the warm welcoming satisfa ...

Write for Wolves Offside (and do better than I did)

By Daryl | March 20th, 2008

Think it's pretty obvious that I'm struggling to keep up with this Wolves blog. Absolutely breaks my heart and I'm more than a little embarrassed, but with The Offside, World Cup Blog and Euro 2008 to tend to, there just isn't enough time in the day to do

Southampton, Scoring and Shouting

By Daryl | March 6th, 2008

Good news bad news from Wolves 2-2 draw against Southampton on Tuesday. Good news: Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scored both goals. Add that to his winning goal against Colchester last weekend and Wolves might finally have themselves a reliable goalgetter. We al

Wolves Take the Crossbar Challenge

By Daryl | February 28th, 2008

This is from back in 2006, when Wolves took the famous Soccer AM Crossbar Challenge. Basically each player announces his name and position and then attempts to hit the bar from distance. None of the boys managed it, and Leon Clarke's woeful effort

Michael Gray's Left Foot Still Works

By Daryl | February 26th, 2008

Michael Gray is old and Michael Gray is slow. He's also representative of the worrying trend in Mick McCarthy's transfer policy that sees the boss buying all his old Sunderland players. If Wolves want to progress beyond being perennially disappointing

Another Malfunction at Molineux

By Daryl | February 22nd, 2008

Tuesday's game against Scunthorpe was canceled after the under-soil heating malfunctioned. Not cool. Or actually too cool. Either way a lot of fans were unhappy because the decision wasn't made until 6pm, which is pretty annoying if, for example, you've f

Wolves FA Cup Run Meander Over

By Daryl | February 19th, 2008

Nothing wrong with making the last 16 of the FA Cup, but since we didn't really beat anyone on the way it was all a bit pointless. Cardiff City finally put us out of our cup misery with a 2-0 at Ninian Park, including a glorious goal from Jimmy-Floyd

Cardiff Here We Come

By Daryl | February 16th, 2008

Not so long ago, an FA Cup trip to Cardiff meant you'd made the final and you'd be playing at the Millenium Stadium. But now they've finally finished Wembley a trip to Cardiff means Cardiff City and Ninian Park in the Fifth Round. More importantly, it mea



Steve Bull for Stafford

By Daryl | February 13th, 2008

I remember when the chant used to be "Steve Bull for England," but suppose that was a long time ago now. Another century, if you want to put it dramatically. Now the legend himself is in the running for the managers job at Stafford Rangers. Not exactly

I May Have Ruined Wolves Season

By Daryl | February 12th, 2008

There was an apology for the short hiatus in the last post. But that was about three weeks ago. So now I have to apologize for the long hiatus. I've been busily blogging away covering the Africa Cup of Nations and have sadly neglected the Molineux men.

Wolves Win! No, Really

By Daryl | January 24th, 2008

Apologies for the short hiatus. Have been mesmerized by the Africa Cup of Nations (speaking of which, I watched Olifinjana play in illustrious company for Nigeria in their 1-0 loss to Cote d'Ivoire, and let's just say he looks well suited to the Coca-Cola

Wolves 0-3 Crystal Palace, Fans Forced to Entertain Themselves

By Daryl | January 16th, 2008

Despite fielding £1.5million worth of new striker in Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Wolves were demolished 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace. That's now eight games without a league win and just 24 goals in the last 27 games. Obviously the Molineux faithful are no

Wolves FA Cup Comeback Highlights

By Daryl | January 8th, 2008

[via 101 Great Goals] Here's how Wolves nearly got dumped out of the FA Cup by a non-league team. It's a good job Neil Collins redeemed himself because the way he lost possession before giving away the penalty was absolutely atrocious. Worse than giv

Wolves 2-1 Cambridge Utd (Or, How it Was Finally Confirmed Beyond Doubt That Wolves are a One Man Team)

By Daryl | January 6th, 2008

Wolves narrowly escaped the wrong end of an FA Cup giant-killing against Cambridge United yesterday. Cambridge used to be a league team (anyone else remember John Taylor, Dion Dublin, Steve Claridge and John Beck's insistence that a long ball was the only

Two draws against Wolves and Palace

By Edward | January 4th, 2008

Well, a few months ago in the darkest, gloomiest days of Norwich football, with depressing shadows lent kindly by a certain Mr Grant, we would have shrieked and sobbed our optimism away from fixtures such as these. Yes, to a degree, draws aren't much goo

Mick McCarthy DOES Know What He's Doing, Sort of

By Daryl | January 4th, 2008

Wolves recent run of form (seven games without a win) has seen Molineux turn on Mick McCarthy, with chants of "You don’t know what you’re doing" being heard during the 0-0 draw with Sheffield United. On one hand I share the frustration. If we can't be

Wolves in a Nutshell

By Daryl | January 2nd, 2008

Hi there, I'm Daryl. I've been merrily blogging away here on The Offside (and over at World Cup Blog) for what feels like forever now, and they've finally rewarded my loyalty with a Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. blog, so I can vent about my first, foremost

Wolves 2 - Charlton 0

By Dan | October 20th, 2007

A 2-0 defeat though the scoreline doesn't reflect the match. Shame old Jaybird couldn't hit the net like that when he played for us... We were arguably the better side through the opening period. Iwelumo hit the post, Zheng shoulh have scored, on anoth

Into the Black Country

By Matt | September 19th, 2007

A penalty from perma-fake tanned Dean Windass gave the Tigers a victory at Molineux, as Hull escaped with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Champions League night. While most of the country focused on the glitter of Europe's 'Premier Club Competition' (unless

Pride of the Shirt -- Wolverhampton Wanderers (Away) 07/08

By Nick | June 8th, 2007

After consultation with manager Mick McCarthy and a 'Fans Parliament', Wolves will be sporting this elegant navy blue shirt on their travels this upcoming season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Sold For 10 Pounds

By Nick | May 21st, 2007

Well, they weren't really (but then they were). It seems a crisp ten pound note has secured the ownership of Wolves for one time Liverpool buyer Steve Morgan -- on the condition that he invests the slightly larger sum of thirty million pounds into the cl

The Football League Weekend -- The Good, The Bad and the Dowie

By Nick | March 19th, 2007

-The Good- Sunderland's blistering form shows no signs of slowing down.. Wolves use a little Johnny Cash as their promotion inspiration.. Leeds United's fortunate equalizer gives them a little more hope.. -The Bad- Torquay boss gets personal t

No Chance Keeper!! -- It's the Championship Goals of the Week

By Nick | March 19th, 2007

I must say, #2 and #4 are rather good... (and if you pay close attention, there is a Gabor Kiraly sweat pant sighting)

So Just Who Might You be Then Wolverhampton Wanderers?

A Quite Juicy Football League Rivalry -- Wolves versus West Brom

By Nick | March 11th, 2007

England's West Midlands has no shortage of football clubs - and therefore no shortage of local derbies. One of the most intense for the clubs' fans is when Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion come together - hence the customary noon Sunday k
