Wolves (A) Pre Match Thread

Does Jodie Craaddock still do the program covers? He’s a talented artist

Not this season. He did some crackers last year. Very talented man.

On a serious note, I hope you all have a safe trip tomorrow- there seems to be a lot of mutual respect between the two clubs which for a Manc Wolves fan is quite cool to see.

Fingers crossed that you retain the title this year, and the red scum miss out on Europe. Hopefully in a 5-10 years time we can be competing too.

He did them last season but this season it is Louise Cobbold who does a very nice watercolour style for the programmes.

This is the one she did for the Everton game:

And she did this one for the Villarreal friendly in tribute to Carl Ikeme who recently announced his retirement due to Leukemia:

Cheers mate I’m sure you will be.

Martin -f*****g Atkinson reffing and possibly presently all loved up, wrapped up in his Yoonited duvet set, with his Pogbad blow up doll, at the novarel in wolvo.
Maybe novatel has cctv and there is a dog involved somewhere....
That complete idiot will ruin what could be a great match.

Seriously though, we should have enough to beat Wolves. Their best chance is to catch us cold in the first few minutes, then a second whilst the players are a bit shellshocked.
Last weekend, however City went for the jugular from the first whistle.
Can't guess a starting lineup, but Ottamendi has not figured yet, having been a pretty much guaranteed starter last season.
As I now live in Wolvo it's probably no surprise most of my mates are wolves fans. Almost all of them are expecting to lose but are expecting nothing but a great game between 2 attacking teams.
This is as it should be and if they do win I have no problem with that, if we are beaten by a better team on the day. NOT if dodgy reffing decisions are involved.

An open and attractive game between 2 decent sides. 4-2 City.

Watched both Wolves games this season and been impressed with them. Unlcky not to have more points. Expecting a tough high scoring game

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo: "We don't know how to play another way. There are two ways to react to Leicester, we react by changing or not. We will not change because we want to build something.

"It's important we keep doing the same thing we train to do as we want to achieve.

"Adapt, of course, because you are facing a good team, but don't change. When you build something you have to truly believe in what you're doing."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "Wolves destroyed the Championship. They had an incredible season. They play attractive football and attack with good players.

Wolves wing-back Matt Doherty is expected to be fit despite being forced off through injury against Leicester.

Sounds like Pep is buttering them up. While it might be disaster to play attacking football (or Maybe not) I like what their manager is doing. Learn how to play like you want, coz that's the winning ticket in the long run.
