| I just presume you are either colour blind, or just sad. The Wolves
strip is not "cool". In fact I would have to rate it in my top two
least favourite football strips (Fighting it out with the Celtic away
kit).
I can see why you like Wolves though. Good stadia. Team with
potential. Strip that is nearly as bad as your own teams away top.
Manager who has the loyalty of Tommy Burns (Yes I am a
Killie fan).
Seriously though, the only chance Wolves have of promotion is through
the Play-Offs as it is Palace and Bolton who will be going up in the
automatic promotion places. And as for how they will do when they get
up......well I just hope the chairman has a spare �20 million plus
kicking about.

| >>Mark McGhee is a top guy
Certain areas of the UK may dispute that, notably Leicester and
Reading.
Mr "I wouldn't leave now, even for Old Trafford!" - Yeah, we believe you
Mark!
Stretch.
PS - It is a bloody good ground though.

Well the kit is probably the least liked by the fans for years. Clever design
it may be, ideal for a leisure top but not for a playing kit.
As for the ground, it is superb but the only problem is that it is undoubtedly
too small. As we have nigh on 20,000 season ticket holders in this poxy
division, if we were, god forbid, to get promoted, it would be a problem as
the capacity is currently 28,500. Having said that though we do have the
option to fill in the corners and to take the roof off the main stand and add
another tier, a la Man Utd.
As for money, I think we have plenty knocking around as the club is owned
lock, stock and barrel, by Sir Jack Hayward. Also, we are currently
considering following many clubs by floating on the stock market (if West Brom
can do it anyone can) which will undoubtedly raise a wad or two.
Ahh promotion. Who knows? Bolton do look good but a couple of injuries,
especially to Mcginlay or Blake would test them. I'm impressed by Palace and
Barnsley especially, but Sheff Utd dont look much cop. Dont write off the
wolves yet though. Time will tell............

| Great - first mentions of Palace since Paneso left - and after such a
convincing win too. Wolves have the look of underachievers to me.
Although they won at our place it was more by our poor concentration
than their expertise. They lack quality in midfield and are all
powerplay to Bull & Goodman.
I think it will be tight in the race for second spot. Palace, Barnsley,
Sheff Utd, Norwich, QPR and Wolves are the ones I believe have a
realistic chance of an automatic promotion. Of these, we are coming
back into form while only Barnsley of the rest are showing consistency
at the moment. We have matches at Selhurst with Norwich, Barnsley and
Bolton, and a trip to Sheff Utd - should be fun.

I'll now transfer back to the REAL Wolves note at 455!
Sorry!
