Match Day Thread Wolves v QPR

It's approaching wine o'clock and we play Wolves tomorrow afternoon in a game that in all honesty I'm not holding out much hope of getting a result other than another loss......

But roll back 40+ years to a previous visit to Molineaux and one of my all time favourite videos. It's 1974 and we're still 2 seasons away from our greatest ever side but the makings of that team were there for all to see in this performance....some of the football was wonderful, pass and move, blistering pace, skill from backline to forward line.....for the younger generation on here, this is why us older posters fell in love with the R's and why we despair so much nowadays, not just at the R's but football in general......

Pour yourself a glass of something and enjoy......

 

Horrible place, horrible people. Perfect team for a depressed ****er like Lambert.

 

Not a fan of Wolverhampton then Watford?

 

Saddens me really, we're now light years away from that era and moving further away from it.

Dear old Mancini was a dead ringer for Max Wall by then...

 

I dunno, quite enjoyed the Channel 4 series Raised by Wolves, true it was a bit grim but probably no more than Shepherds Bush......

 

Lovely images of Stan skipping around the keeper and what a strike from Micky Leach.

 

What I liked about it was that Stan was on a hat trick when the penalty was awarded but he didn't even think about looking to take it, just gives Gerry a pat on the back as he walks forward to put the ball on the spot......

 

Indeed, but you couldn't say that he was apathetic by the way he celebrated Leach's excellent strike. God, I love that fella.

 

Glorious!! Stan's first touch was to die for!

 

It has the charm of Aleppo and that's before you hear the accent.

 

Agree totally about the place. I ran a 'Tough Guy' race not far from Wolverhampton in January last year and we decided to visit the Town Centre on the Saturday night before for a pre race, carb loaded meal.
To say it was like a morgue was an understatement and as the half dozen restaurants we did find on a retail park had queues of 2 hours wait, we ended up eating in a crappy McDs......
As you might tell, I'm not a fan either

 

One of my ex bosses was a Wolverhampton copper, one weekend he was out the front of his house washing his car while someone burgled his house.

 

I had to go to Romford for the first time yesterday. Like being on a different planet.

 

Great stuff, thanks for posting Tramore ......................... really nice to have something to smile about of late.
Great to see Terry Mancini running around.
Was always a big Derek Dougan fan, so it was good to see him as well. He looked like he was getting near the end of his playing days.

 

Circa 1966, my two Subbuteo teams - not really sure why I picked Wolves for the opposition?

Well I'll be there to watch the horror as it unfolds and trust me that's way more than you want to know about the train ride into Wolverhampton.

Positives:

1) Breakfast at Wetherspoons then a couple of hours of fizzy pain-killers;

2) They've commissioned some graphic artist or other to do their programme covers this season and they're great. Remembrance Day aside it's usually a snarling, bristling wolf menacing opposition motifs and traditions. I can't wait to see what they come up with for us. They'll probably dispense with the wolf and just render a juicy lamb chop dripping with mint sauce;

3) I was at Telford v Alfreton on Boxing Day and it'll be warmer than that won't it?

4) I should be out of Wolverhampton and home by 6.

 

Not quite sure why this Subbuteo QPR line-up is named "Zombie Team", but actually quite an appropriate title given our current circumstances:-

Our Ranger is likely no bounty hunter and as per usual firing only blanks.

Back-to-back home games over Christmas and New Year means two Alexander Wells programme covers. So here is the 12th of our 2016/17 series: Wolves v @officialqpr #WOLvQPR #12of23 #WWFC #Wolves #EFL

Crikey Kilburn well found. No mint sauce then.

You realise you've just nullified one of my positives.

Still...
