A load of wimps, it's going to be a long,long and very disappointing season for them and after all these exaggerations and bare faced lies they deserve it
I don't think so. I think it is more patronising than anything and are still upset we didn't roll out the red carpet and let them with 3 or 4 nil. They'll refuse to admit we actually played some nice stuff and are physical. They must have forgotten the McCarthy years when they had Karl Henry and Co.Quote:

All that matters to us right now is that 1. We're being entertained 2. We can see fire and passion (sorry) on the pitch 3. We're winning.
What the rest of the football world thinks of us has zero interest to me.
If they don't like us, I really really don't care.
Exactly. Id understand if this were Arsenal or Barca, even some other club famed for its footballing traditions like say Soton. But this is Wolves ffs. Its like McCarthy never happened. They need to man up pretty quickly.Quote:

I should imagine that most of their yellows last season were for diving if this seasons anything to go byQuote:

We commit different types of fouls to them as well.Quote:

Aye but that's because all the refs are WelshQuote:

Never seen the phrase "sense of entitlement used so much" are people on commission?Quote:

Will give me great satisfaction to see them crash and burn now.
OK, we all have a moan and I'm one of the worst for thinking sometimes refs are against us, but they are taking it to a completely new level.
It's almost like they think football should be a non contact sport ( unless that is they are committing the foul - as they actually committed more than us on Saturday)
I've seen plenty of dirty sides, and we aren't even in the (old) 2nd division with the players we've got.
There isn't even one City player who I would term as dirty.
Talking of which, guess how many yellow cards Romain Saisse (the victim of Damour's attempted assassination on Saturday) has picked up since August 2015?Quote:

Well he's had one in each of his last two matches, so I'm guessing quite a few?Quote:

I've never particularly thought of Wolves as some sort of football mecca where they play beautiful football. It's a shame that we didn't have the privilege to have seen it in full flow.
A bit like when I went to Barcelona expecting to be entertained but it rained and they got beat.
Wolves should refund those who travelled.
We were using gamesmanship (which is perfectly legitimate), they were just honest, hardworking lads.Quote:

Those same Welsh refs?Quote:

He was quite happy to state that Cardiff were overall the better team and deserved to win. He was also close to the claimed Damour "elbow in the throat" claim and said it was nothing of the sort.
The return fixture is on 7th April. I think we should start selling tickets for that game now, just for the fun of it.

Made them feel it was just an aberration and b. That their silly pre match boasts that had been made to look very stupid indeed were actually logical and would have been correct but for cheating opponents and useless refs which were nothing to do with not actually being as good on the day as their opposition.
All of course backed up by the fact we have a physically big and hardworking side and a manager that demands a genuine 100% off every player
Just had one of those PPI cold calls where the town of the caller is revealed, only Wolverhampton wasn't it, I don't answer these as a rule, answered this one though, I was quite brutish with the poor bugger. He gave a nervous laugh & hung up.
I think that's a pretty fair report. They refer to us bullying Wolves but that can mean we were just stronger and outmuscled and outfought them, which we did. I'd rather have a strong disciplined side rather than one that cracks at the first opportunity. However everyone tends to ignore the pace and flair we have in the team, in addition to our strength from set plays and long throws. AT the moment we are strong and disciplined, fit, have flair and pace , haven';t conceded much and and can score. I'll settle for that.
Spot on Tim, at the moment we are the perfect blend for the Championship. Wouldn't survive in the Prem I'd imagine with this squad but we're a perfect fit for this division.Quote:

By the way, the post from the Cardiff fan in theee absolutely hits the nail on the head . 👍Quote:

I've moved on to thinking about QPR when we'll face a different challenge which will assumedly be hotly contested given the identity of Rangers' manager and of course Warnock will be up against another of his old clubs.
This could be the tightest game of our opening fixtures.
Do you think that maybe the term "bullying" I this instance is more about our physical stature/robust play rather than actually doing anything wrong.
I always feel Stoke, West Brom and Burnley would be deemed as playing to more thanthe sum of their parts I.e. bullying, as opposed to Arsenal, Citeh and those lot down west who would like to be thought of as playing the beautiful game? Passes and flicks but soft underbelly.
I like to think that Fergies approach with Utd was spot on. We play football but if you want a fight we will give you a fu***r.
Bring it on.
Best feeling as Cardiff fan for years, we may not be the trendy team but you certainly aren't going to take the piss out of us.
Mention of stoke in this thread has reminded me of my reaction to Arsenal fan's criticism of the the Pulis edition: it's not Pulis's job to entertain Arsenal fans.
Apart from the recent edition of Barca where majority of player seemed small (and then you have issue with diving; plus busquets, pique and puyol) I can't name a single great team that wasn't physical as well as whatever other strengths they had. The wolves fans reaction to our performance is hysterical.
