@Wolves Now?! This ‘focus’ should have started when Edwards was appointed.

Nathan Shi has been appointed executive chairman of Wolves on a permanent basis. 🗣️ “Our focus now is on strengthening the club, building momentum and creating a team and environment that our supporters can be proud of.” wolves.co.uk/news/club/2026…

@CharmOfCulture You clearly haven’t visited Wolverhampton yet.

This is the most underrated city in all of Europe.

@MrRyanLeister @TheWolvesReport @TalkingWolves @daveazzopardi @Nocky1982 For me, the worrying thing about his outburst is that it reveals that there is no plan in place. Starting from the day he was appointed, he should have been organising for next season. If there is a strategy, he’d have the confidence to say so.

#wwfc | @TheWolvesReport | E165 🎙️ @TalkingWolves @daveazzopardi joins @Nocky1982 & myself at 8pm tomorrow (Sunday) for the latest live episode, which will include: • BHA player & match analysis • Edwards outburst • Your questions • Looking ahead to Fulham Any questions?!

@batcountry1980 “A bit early in the morning for festivities, isn't it?”

The genius of Withnail and I is that it’s the greatest comedy ever made, yet there’s not only no real jokes, a lot of it isn’t even funny by nature. I’ve been thinking about this piece of dialogue for about an hour and laughing my head off: “Indeed I often wonder where Norman is now. Probably wintering with his mother in Guildford. A cat, rain, Vim under the sink, and both bars on. But old now, old, there is no true beauty without decay.” To read that on the page, it’s not even funny. But within the film, it becomes hysterical. That’s down to the brilliance of Bruce Robinson’s script. It’s razor sharp, not a word wasted. His direction is fantastic too. Between Marwood’s voiceover and the way we enter the scene just as these words roll out of Monty’s never-ending diatribe, it feels like we too have been roaming the fields with him for hours. Then there’s the acting, the way these actors bring flesh and blood to the characters until they feel completely lived in. We never get the backstory, but you instantly know there were all kinds of salacious antics behind Monty and Norman’s estrangement. That’s the magic of the film. It creates an entire world that feels like it existed long before we arrived and carries on after we leave. Much like Monty ponders where Norman is, fans can’t help wonder the same about the characters of this movie, so real they seem.

@MR_MAJOR_82 @huds8118 Glad you enjoyed it !

@bctype @huds8118 That ring road is the worst thing in wolves straight facts 😂 when we played them we got there late for the 19:30 kick off then running across a motorway ffs 🤦‍♂️ also the worst accent in the uk 🗣️🤣

Rotten away section, rotten pint, rotten referee, and a fucking awful city. Wolves fans were spot on though

@huds8118 I definitely won’t try to defend the ringroad! The train is the best option - not that you’ll be visiting us anytime soon..

@bctype Badly worded - I’ve said to someone else it was more to do with the roads in / out. They’re a fucking nightmare

@MrRyanLeister Just waiting for the standard message from Fosun “we are in a competitive and challenging transfer market. The club will only consider purchasing players that will enhance the squad” Wolves have had a head start on the competition - half a season - but will still mess it up.

#wwfc If anything, I’d say Wolves are regressing. Despite having ten men, the way Sunderland moved the ball and the speed they did it at in comparison to the hosts was a showing up. Even by our own poor standards, every single player & the coach is underperforming right now.

@implausibleblog Like a child who has a history GCSE exam today and hasn’t revised at all. Just listing a series of unconnected words.

President Trump, "Last fall, Melania and I had the pleasure of visiting their Majesties at Windsor Castle, a structure that's so beautiful and so long that it never seemed to end" "I, uh, looked down as a former real estate person, and it just went on forever" "And it was built by a gentleman named William the Conqueror in the year 1070" "And I asked the king, I said, was he a nice man, William the Conqueror?" "He said, I tend to doubt it. I don't think so" "When they call you William the Conqueror, generally speaking, you're not going to be too nice. But he must have been something, because it was nothing like I've ever seen Windsor Castle" "But, uh, tonight, in return, we are really doing something that's very special. Preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. A big time in our country. Very big time"

@StanCollymore @HotShotHamish1 Correct.

We've been saying Mom in Cannock before the United States existed. In the West Midlands, Birmingham and Black Country and South Staffordshire we say Mom and always have.
