No matter who you support in the Barclays Premier League, it’s inevitable that sooner rather than later your team's train must roll through Old Trafford. It’s one of the games that epitomizes the smaller club's reason for being. United away is a reward for recently promoted clubs. It would be one of the fixtures that […]

As pantomime season moves swiftly in, Wolves served up their live performance of Jekyll and Hyde as the team, and especially their goalkeeper, went from villain to hero over 90 minutes on this soggy Sunday afternoon. The welcome three points gained by Wolves Sunday afternoon was the only difference from their outings in weeks gone […]

Saturday November 26, Chelsea away. Any Wolves fan will tell you that these are the fixtures you scratch off. Chalk it off on the calendar by accepting the inevitable and move on. In fact I presume this fixture brings similar philosophies from the majority of Premier League team supporters. However…. There is always a ‘however’ […]

If ever there was a performance to reinforce exactly why Wolves fans should not have got carried away by the masquerade victory against Wigan Athletic two weeks ago, it came at Goodison Park on Saturday. Over the years, Everton was always a notorious place to visit. Lead by a top manager whose team plays a […]

Editor's note: Since the memory of last weekend's Premier League football is still fresh in our minds. here's a match report of Wolverhampton's win against Wigan — a match of big importance due to the implications on the relegation zone. The report is courtesy of Chris Machin, a regular contributor to EPL Talk (and a […]

Forty five minutes played, two-nil down. Where’ve we seen that one before? It is in fact the worrying statistic that now looms ominously over the Wolves’ heads. In the last three games, we have found ourselves trailing by two goals at the break, without offering much in the way of resistance. The first time you […]

Well, I've perked up a bit. After the stinging wounds from the weekend defeat against QPR, Wolves put in a refreshing performance Tuesday evening against Millwall in the Carling Cup. 'The Three M's' is common terminology in and around Molineux, used as a collective phrase mainly by supporters in reference to the clubs hierarchy: McCarthy, […]

Prior to kick off, there was a sizeable powercut in the city centre that threw the match itself into question. The essential source of energy went missing from the Molineux surrounding areas, and evidently from the team itself. One team were still brim full of confidence after a much more encouraging start to their third […]

Much like the weather at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, Wolverhampton Wanderers were very much hot and cold over the 90 minutes against Tottenham Hotspur. The game itselt saw two sides that couldn't have been more different. Contrasting styles, contrasting early season fortunes and contrasting morale were the orders of the day. In the Gold corner […]

With the pantomime and debacle that was transfer deadline day firmly behind us, we are left to reflect on what that one cataclysmic day has left in its wake. Much like Wolves' last outing against Aston Villa, August 31st was satisfyingly uneventful – a juxtaposition that Wolves fans will no doubt be more than happy […]

With two games, two wins, six points and just about as many monkeys already off our backs, you'd forgive the Wolverhampton Wanderers faithful for getting a little carried away.?? Whilst the media have opted to play the illusionist and conjure up all sorts of headlines about Wolves being joint top of the Premier League, I […]

The date was Sunday, May 22nd 2011. The day and indeed the whole week prior to it was the closest, most intriguing Barclays Premier League survival battle in years – possibly ever. The publicity and anticipation spread worldwide. For one day, the eyes of the footballing enthusiast were drawn away from the Manchester United's and […]

"A few South Americans in this Porto team. Three Romanians and three Portuguese. We should be in for some Samba action tonight" "To be fair, he probably struck the ball too well" (on Frank Lampard shooting wide of the goal) "A two-footed beaver of a player" (on Wesley Sneijder) "He looks a bull of a […]

Well, I'm sure you're all aware that this season has produced some top-notch football, and some horrible dross. So, let's get down to business, shall we? 10.) West Brom– What they lack in quality, they at least make up for with their desire to play the game as it should be played. I applaud Tony […]
