“A BARNESTORMIN’ FINISH!”
Wolverhampton haz 50 pubs within walking distance of their Molineux Stadium—2nd only to The Toon which haz close on 200! But not one of Wolves pubs allows away fans in, in total contrast to NUFC where 99.9% let away fans in!
This meant that Toon fans were forced to gan elsewhere for wor pre match booze!
We chose Stafford like a canny few othaa Toon fans did, which iz a 15 minute train ride from Wolves!
A ridiculous situation that makes yoo wish that they would get relegated!
Anyway! we arrived in good time for the kick off where the usual 💩 flame throwers were positioned aroond the pitch and lit when the Wolves players name were read oot ower the tannoy! Hopefully NUFC will never stoop to this Americanisation of futbaall!? (but divvint haad yi breath!)
We played in wor maroon and dark blue kit and started off very sluggishly and just couldn’t get oot of first gear az Wolves pressed forward!
Eventually their persistence prevailed when an error from Longstaff in the 36th minute, let in Larson and his crosss across the box woz ‘dummied’ by Gomez for Lemina to poke home unmarked! 1-0 to them!
Things needed to change and 3 subs were brought on at the start of the 2nd half: Tonali replaced Longstaff, Willock replaced Joelinton and Barnes replaced Isak who woz injured in the first half!
This did the trick az WE pressed forward but we still couldn’t find the breakthrough!
The ‘key’ to change aall this came in the 64th minute when Kieran Trippier replaced Livramento and straight away his influence bore fruit!🍇 👈(No! not that kind of fruit!)
Within 11 minutes of him organisin things we were level when a Rakin shot from ‘Fab’ Schar from ootside the box took a deflection off Dawson and sailed into the roof of the net to send the 3,000 travellin faithful into wild celebrations—so wild that this fat kid in the row in front of me fell backwards ower his seat and nearly broke mee leg! 🦵
While those celebrations were gannin on and just 5 minutes later, up stepped one of the half time ‘super subs’ Harvey Barnes to send a right footed screamer into the top right hand corner of the goal!
I woz ready this time! and az the fat fcuker again fell backwards I had mee arms outstretched to push him into some poor unfortunate soul in the row in front of him!”😫”Aarrrr!”
Despite 9 minutes of stoppage time added, we held on to take the valuable 3 points to climb to the dizzy 😵💫 heights of 3rd place in the Premyaa Leegue table with 10 points from 12!
We’ve played 5 games including 1 in the Leegue Cup—We’ve been below par in aall of them—but still undefeated!
That’s the sign of greatness we have been told—But will wor luck 🍀 desert us eventually? OR! Will we come good and prove the doubters wrang?🤔
Attendance:30,255 (3,000 faithful who drank elsewhere pre match!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺)
Like here in Stafford!👇
And post match back to The Yard and beyond! 👇
PS: Stafford iz aboot 15 miles from Wolverhampton— mebeez we should ban Wolves fans from aall wor bars and send them to mackemland instead, when we play them up at wor place! (Tit for tat anybody?)🤔
