I don't get excited about many Premier League fixtures but the Black Country derby certainly gets my heart racing. It's even more special when it takes place in the Premier League – todays match only the fourth in Premier League history.

So as Wolves slumped to what turned out to be an embarrassing defeat my major interest in Premier League football for this season ends in disappointment as West Brom triumphed for their eighth time to Wolves three wins since I first went to Molineux in 1999.

Queens Park Rangers 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers Premier League 4th February 2012

Djibril Cisse could never be described as a shrinking violet, so it will come as little surprise that the former Liverpool man was once again the centre of attention at Loftus Road, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Signing of the season?

So one of the most exciting days of the season is over, and Jim White's excitable gossip-hungry clone can go back into suspended animation until next year. Yet spending is down nearly 70% versus last year's January deadline, where Torres and Carroll dominated the headlines.

Back down to Earth for Liverpool, as they travel to the West Midlands to face 19th-place Wolverhampton. It's a stark contrast from the action of the past week, facing opposition at the bottom of the table, away from Anfield, and with nothing immediately at stake. And if you've paid attention to Liverpool at all this season, it's cause for concern, with form against the mid- and lower-table sides worlds apart from the displays we've seen the last two times out.

After Wednesday's victory against Everton which propelled Spurs to just three points behind leaders Manchester City the team went into the game with expectations of going joint top with a victory over Wolves.

Get Real Everyone knows that the transfer window is silly season in football, with clubs overvaluing their players, agents hawking out their stars to all and sundry, and the tabloid newspapers sticking a pin in a map and guessing which players are going left, right and centre. The People newspaper has excelled itself this morning, [.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers Premier League 14th January 2012

Much has been written and spoken in recent weeks about Tottenham's title burgeoning title credentials. However, against Wolves at White Hart Lane, the Lilywhites somewhat struggled to live up to the hype, producing a disappointing display in front of their home fans.

THFC1882 presents another guest writer. This time it's a guy I've known on Twitter for a while and he's always got something to say on our beloved Tottenham Hotspur. It gives me great pleasure to present Kenny Palmer with a preview of this weekend's game:

Wednesday's victory over Everton in the postponed game in hand from the start of the season has left Spurs level on points with Manchester United and 3 off leaders Manchester City.

Three Premier League goalscorer tips: Steven Fletcher, Danny Welbeck and Peter Crouch to be on target

Betting expert Ed Malyon has picked out three goalscorer tips for Saturday's English top-flight games, all offering very tasty returns

A news article on 2011-12-30 12:03:00 from: Goal

This news item has been reproduced from today's media.

Arsenal's summer signing Mikel Arteta has backed manager Arsene Wenger's belief that there was no lack of effort from the Gunners in their 1-1 draw at home to the Wolverhampton Wanderers yesterday.

The hosts, who led through an early goal from Gervinho, were punished when Steven Fletcher struck an equalizer right before the interval.

Well, what an incredibly frustrating ninety minutes that was. Upbeat start, good goal, cavalier flicks, lucky equaliser, chances, chances, CHANCES, saves, saves, more ruddy saves and Wolves rode their luck to a first point against Arsenal in the Premier League era. You couldn't fault the team's effort, apart from a slight easing off in the first half, and I agree with Arsene when he says that we would have won this game 19 times out of 20.

Arsenal missed the chance to go fourth in the Premier League as they were denied by a series of saves from Wayne Hennessey when being held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners, without a defeat to Wolves since 1979, were looking to capitalise on a draw between Chelsea and Fulham on Boxing Day and took the lead after only eight minutes whenGervinho beat the offside trap to score his fourth goal of the season.

Arsenal's ambition to improve position in the league was halted again as the Gunners only picked up one point from their home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.

A quick goal by Gervinho didn't resulted in a goal flowing result for the home team as their visitor managed to pick up an equalizer through Steven Fletcher, and hold it until the final whistle.

Arsenal 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers Premier League 27th December 2011.

Arsenal's old failings came back to haunt them at the Emirates in their rearranged clash with Wolves. Despite having a hugely superior amount of possession and firing in countess efforts on goal, the home side still came unstuck, conceding a sloppy goal and failing to make the most of their dominance.

Honestly, despite my reputation as the Negative Nancy blogger, I thought we'd snatch a winner all the way up to the final whistle. Not only did we control possession, chances, corner kicks, free kicks, etc, but we also played the final 20-ish minutes (including added time) with a man advantage.

Surely he's embarrass of his own performance too

It was a good night for Arsenal last night, even though none of the games involved us. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all dropped points in their Boxing Day fixtures. A win for us tonight will see us leapfrog over Chelsea and go level on points with Tottenham (depending on the outcomes of their own match against Norwich).

Luckily we're no Abe Simpson.

Mick McCarthy's Wolverhampton Wolves (or Wanderers, properly) visit the Emirates for the first of our trio of games over a six-day span. Wolves sit just above the relegation zone, one point ahead of Wigan. They have a pretty dreadful record on the road, having managed just one away win and six away goals in eight games.

Liverpool are being touted to make a shock January move for in-form Wolves striker Steven Fletcher.
The Scottish striker, who has bagged six goals in ten appearances this season has reportedly caught the eye of Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish, who is growing concerned at his side's lack of goals this term.

In this new series, I'll be highlighting websites that post false, completely fabricated transfer 'rumours'. The first site to feature is SPORTSVIBE for its totally made-up story about Liverpool's alleged interest in Wolves' Steven Fletcher.Why am I doing this? I'm just so sick of cynical websites conning Liverpool fans with completely fake transfer stories about the club.

It may not make up for their Champions League horror-show in midweek, but by comfortably beating Wolves at Old Trafford, Manchester United at least rediscovered some of their attacking verve.

A blessing, perhaps, that our agony wasn't prolonged. As Spain attempted to pass Scotland to death in Alicante, Czech Republic had already gone ahead in Lithuania.
When David Silva scored Spain's opener inside six minutes the game was up.
Not the agony of past failures when Scotland have teased us into believing before tripping over their own inadequacies at the final hurdle.

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has claimed the club's season is 'back on track' following Saturday's 2-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield.
The Reds took an early lead through Roger Johnson's own goal, and Luis Suarez made it 2-0 for Kenny Dalglish's side relatively early. Steven Fletcher made it a tense second period though, scoring early after half-time.

Liverpool put two past a gallant Wolves side yesterday in an entertaining fixture for the Reds. The first half was pretty much one way traffic but second half substitutions from Mick McCarthy allowed Wolves to get back into the game with a goal from Steven Fletcher. Liverpool opened the scoring with a little dash of magic from lady luck.

LFC back to winning ways

Liverpool 2 Wolves 1 Premier League. 24 September, 2011. Anfield FOOTBALL loves its clichés and there were plenty that could be brought out for this one so little point holding back. The "one man team" tag will probably be used – Luis Suarez again standing out.

Match Review: Liverpool 2 Wolves 1

Liverpool bounced back from their defeat against Spurs with three points against Wolves at Anfield yesterday. The win ended a spell of two league defeats for the Reds and saw them climb back up to 6th in the table claim their first September Premier League win since the 6-1 victory over Hull City in 2009.

Liverpool returned to winning ways but made hard work of it at home to Wolves as defensive frailties and equally-fragile confidence levels were almost exposed for a third successive week.
Everything appeared to be going to plan as a Roger Johnson own goal, diverting in Charlie Adam's shot, and another magical Luis Suarez strike appeared to have put the Reds in the comfort zone at half-time.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is looking forward to a long and happy future with Luis Suarez at Anfield.
The Uruguayan scored his side's decisive second goal in superb, solo style in Saturday's engrossing 2-1 win over Wolves at Anfield, where Roger Johnson's own goal had set the home team on their way.

Manchester City joined Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table, beating Everton in the day's early game, with Sir Alex Ferguson's men held to a 1-1 draw at Stoke City later on.

Roberto Mancini's side put the pressure on as second half substitutes Mario Balotelli and James Milner gave the blue half of Manchester a 2-0 win over a poor Everton side.

His achievements have given Kenny Dalglish a line of credit not available to the likes of UBS or Northern Rock. He could have survived an early exit from the Carling Cup and a home defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers, which so bankrupted Roy Hodgson's regime.
