The headline pretty much sums it up... as headlines are wont to do. Another 4 goals for the Arsenal, another late consolation goal for our poor victims. Wanderers came out into the amped up atmosphere of Molineux and really took it to us for the first 25 minutes. Until a Arsenal went ahead, completely against the run of play on a Zubar own-goal, that is.

Shortly after Wolves scored their consolation goal, their fans chanted rather ironically "4 nil and you cocked it all up". Or something along those lines. It is good to know they have a sense of humour. Not that the supporters needed to illustrate that for me again.

When Doritos sponsored Wolves (the last time they were in the Premiership back in 2003) my History teacher at the time, a die hard Wolves fan, suggested an acronym for the tortilla chips brand.

Jozy, less tweeting, more football.

It was a weekend with mixed results for the Americans who apply their trade in the Premier League. All U.S. players who saw action or are on current rosters were only able to manage a point with their respected sides.

Fulham striker Clint Dempsey came out on top of the U.

Wolves fans are gutted. Prior to this weekend's fixtures, Portsmouth had lost their first seven matches. While losing runs can't go on forever, every club in the country was licking it's lips at the prospect of playing the South Coast side. But on a glorious Saturday afternoon, in front of a packed Molineux, Wolves fans witnessed utter horror as their team became the first club to give up points to Europe's worst team.

Still sitting with a donut in the points column, Pompey are in desperate need of some points. It seems as though everybody myself included has written them off already. I just published an article earlier this week about how they are definitely being relegated this season. Do I think they are going to get zero points over the course of the whole season, though?

The explosive Aston Villa centre forward has joined championship front runners Newcastle United on a three month loan deal. There was a Hot pursuit for the experienced striker with clubs like West Brom and Middlesbrough thought to be chasing the striker. It was even rumoured that league two side Notts county were set to sign Harewood as their new owners try continue their reputation to sign big name players. Click to continue reading...

There will be no escape from the Pompey chimes on Saturday when Portsmouth visit Molineux.
But it's inherent on Wolves to keep the alarm bells out of earshot.
I'm increasingly proud of our team, remaining positive about our season, but I will confess to being a tiny bit perplexed. Click to continue reading...

Is there anyone of a certain age or over that didn't experience a little frisson of excitement during the summer when they noted for the first time that both Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers would be back in the top division of English football? The press have largely been dismissive of both clubs' chances of staying up this season, though, and they had something to sink their teeth into at the weekend.

1. Welcome Back

I considered writing a season preview - Hell, I might even still do it - but I didn't want to overwhelm you with more than one post during a summer.
As such, we pick up where we left off, under a sweltering sun playing against a team who don't appear to be good enough for this division. Click to continue reading...

Mick McCarthy has been hyperactive on the transfer market, bringing in no less than seven players into the West Midlands outfit; the latest arrival being that of defender Michael Mancienne on loan from Chelsea.

On the other hand, West Ham United have a lot to prove as Gianfranco Zola continues the good job he has done with the Hammers.

What is the proper way to honor a legend?
Is it to retire his jersey, have a special day for them, or build a statue in their honor. That is what we do in the United State, but in England they do it a different way. Take a look around at the classic stadiums in England and many of them have stands that are named after long time club heroes. Click to continue reading...

With promotion to the Premier League, Wolverhampton have also gained a fancy new online gambling house sponsor to adorn their kits this season. But what's different about this sponsorship is that for the first time ever, a club with a gambling sponsor will offer a choice of logos on the junior replica kits they sell either that of the gaming site or that of the Wolves Community Trust, the club's charity arm, so parents actually have the option of whether they want their kids to be a human billboard for something that will probably have them taking out ill-advised loans at some point in their life.

As is the usual preseason prediction, the three promoted sides are always the favourites to go straight back down. Last season gave us something of a novelty in recent years, with two of the three sides that came up in 2007-2008 staying with us for another year, as close as Hull tried to throw it all away.

One game down, one victory secured, one bad injury - and we're still no clearer knowing which team Mick McCarthy will send out on Saturday August 15.

The season is over, the market is being tested now in the transfer window and the three heroes of Coca Cola Championship (Wolves, Birmingham, Burnley) are thinking about how to make the team that will survive season 2009/10 in Premier League lion's cage. Each of the teams will definitely need big signings, unless they are going to a field trip, but we should also mention that they already have some excellent individuals, whose career can be launched sky-high in the competition with the strongest teams on the island.

Whilst still unconfirmed by the club, reports last week claimed that Frazier Campbell, Danny Simpson and Darron Gibson had been placed on the transfer list. Since then, Hull have come in with a £6m offer for Campbell, whilst Simpson will probably struggle to land a Premiership team. He couldn't get in the Blackburn team so will likely join a Championship side this summer, with Newcastle and Birmingham apparently interested.

So much has changed at Molineux since Wolves won their last Premier League game, exactly five years ago today.
But one thing remains exactly the same from the team that beat Wayne Rooney's Everton 2-1 to the team that will line-up to receive the Championship trophy on Sunday.
The 2003/4 team had a fantastic right back, and the 2008/9 team has a fantastic right back. Click to continue reading...

So, 5 years after relegation, the famous Black and Gold strip of Wolverhampton Wanderers has made a belated return to the Premiership after Saturdays tense 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at Molineux. It's an impressive return from a complete turn around from the side relegated from the Premiership under Dave Jones back in 2003-2004 season, Jones was unable to push them back up and was replaced by Glenn Hoddle but he also failed in his attempt to return Wolves back to the Premiership.
