pauli Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield. Monday, 02 January 2017 TODAY’S OPPOSITES Wolverhampton Wanderers are probably the most successful professional Football Club on planet Earth, having won the European Cup on no fewer than 127 occasions and the World Super Cup quite often. The 'Wolves' as they are wittily referred to by their millions of supporters worldwide, can be seen at their magnificent ground which is the finest stadium in Wolverhampton, with the possible exception of the Aldersley Leisure centre on the outskirts of the town. The stadium has four stands, three named after players who have become legendary at the club - Derek Dougan, Derek Dougan and Derek Dougan and one after a former director called Jack Harris. But that’s not where the game is taking place. Perhaps the finest moment in the illustrious history of the 'Wolves' was their 7-2 drubbing of bitter Black Country rivals Plymouth Argyle in the 1972 European Cup Final, the goals scored by Derek Dougan and Derek Dougan. Note: the term 'Black Country rivalry' is something of a misnomer as Wolverhampton is not in the Black Country. The early nineteen seventies were the heyday of great players like Derek Dougan and Derek Dougan and the 'wolves' in their famous 'dirty yellow' shirts emblazoned with the iconic club crest, an allusion to Captain Kirk, were just too strong for the valiant Argyle side. Club Honours: • European Champions - Every third Tuesday • Armitage-Shanks Cup Winners 1973 • Best performance in a supporting role 1996 • Queens award for export 2001 • Export award for Queens 2003 MATCHDAY THINGS Official Matchday Pie: Chicken Lambért. Official Matchday Drink: Beer, to celebrate the first 16 Pint Challenge of 2017. Official Matchday Song: “Hung Over” by The Martinis... Sheffield Wednesday could give a debut to loan signing Callum McManaman following the winger's arrival until the end of the season from West Brom. Striker Fernando Forestieri is expected to be in contention after missing the draw at Preston with a muscle strain. Wolves have no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Hillsborough. Forwards Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Joe Mason could start as boss Paul Lambert has suggested he is likely to freshen up the team. Head To Head ▪ The Owls' victory in this fixture last season was their first at Hillsborough against Wolves since 1964 - the same year they last recorded back-to-back home wins over them. ▪ Wolves have lost once to Wednesday in the Championship this season (0-2 in November) - they haven't lost twice to them in the league in a single season since 1932-33. ▪ Sheffield Wednesday have only failed to score in one of their 11 home Championship games this season, losing 2-0 to Leeds in August. ▪ Wolves - winners in their last away league game at Nottingham Forest - haven't won back to back away Championship games since New Year's Day 2016. ▪ A win for the Owls would mean their best run of form at Hillsborough since January 2016 (a run of four successive wins). KING CARLOS’ PEARLS OF WISDOM “Our supporters have been amazing all season as they always have. We will have a crowd of over 30,000, which is fantastic. But now we need them more than ever. Two games in three days is very, very tough and this will be very demanding on the players. They will be playing in the red, under the red, and this is the time when injuries can happen, absolutely sure. So I ask our fans to be as loud as they can, show the level of support that they are known for around the country. We have Callum available for the first time and he will give us a further option. He is a very good player and we are pleased to have him here as we have watched him for some time. He is an option so let’s see what we will do on Monday. We also have good wishes for Fernando. He came away from Newcastle with some pains so could not play against Preston as there was a risk. Wolves will bring a different challenge, with a different dynamic under the new coach Paul Lambert.” MINTYNESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We will be the 12th-32000th man, giving us a distinct numerical advantage on the pitch and enabling us to batter them 1-0. Until the game is called off in the 96th minute because the linesman can't see the far touchline due to 32000 horrifying post-Christmas trouser coughs having finally melted his eyes. Westwood to score, overhead punch, 2nd minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJH1867OWLS Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pauli back on form with a brilliant OMDT! Im sure it didn't escape you Pauli that the lack lustre OMDT attempt on Saturday effected the players drastically as they all rely on Nuhiu to read it too them to get them pumped up 3-0 to The Wednesday today boys I can feel it in my scotch eggs! RELEASE THE LLAMA AND DESIGN A THIRD KIT PLAY BETTER THAN SATURDAY COS THAT WERE PROPER SHÍT WAWAW UTO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
