I honestly think we were the better side against Arsenal last night. Not “just about” the better side, but the better side by some distance.
Do You Prefer a Full Series Drop or an Episode a Week
This used to be a stupid question because when we all only watched “linear television” the only choice was to watch an episode a week because that’s how a series was broadcast.
When is a Re-shuffle not a Re-shuffle?
It’s fair to say that Alexander Johnson is having a tough time of it as Prime Minister right now. It’s the job he’s wanted all his life—well, the story goes that what he actually wanted to be was World King, but that isn’t a thing so Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would have to do—and I suspect that the job isn’t quite all he’d hoped it would be.
Wanderers Blockbuster February
February is going to be a massive month for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Six games in twenty-two days, one very winnable-looking game in the FA Cup followed by five very tough-looking Premier League fixtures.
