“This is my â€˜eternal football optimistâ€™ personality speaking you understand”

Nobody wants to dream of a mid-table finish. Beware though, last season Halifax only missed out on promotion to League Two thanks to a Hereford goal in extra time in the playoff final. This year, they only avoided relegation on the final day of the season.

Baggies won 1 – 0, go through 4 -2 on aggregate.

Mick will definitely be there next year. I think we can get close to the automatic promotion spots with him.

This is my ‘eternal football optimist’ personality speaking you understand.

I was looking forward to watching Henry, Gerrard and Rooney at the Molineux, oh well, next year for sure!

Well Wolves were once voted the best team in the world, 1950′s. Also apperently the first football song was written by a Wolves supporter who was Elgar.
I have been told there is a plack put up to him on the Wolves ground.

All night, I prayed. Someone would notice my genius spot of wordplay regarding tower bridge. I longed for a simple ‘very good kismet’ but no. No. You have unleashed an evil spirit within me. You’ll all be sorry. All of you

i saw the scientology docu last night. fascinating stuff. what scary, scary, scary people. and so clever. they’ve really thought this out well, they’ve covered every angle – it has such a perfectly *designed* look and feel to it. i’d almost admire them if they weren’t so scary. the bbc guy was clearly out of his depth, although the chap he interviewed on the roof during which the chief chappie arrived with the guy’s police record to rubbish him looked quite amused by the technique, which i suppose he must be used to by now. i was quite surprised when the chap gave him the “freedom of religion guaranteed by the constitution, you are insulting my faith” rant he didn’t answer with the “freedom of speech and therefore to insult religion if i see fit is also guaranteed by the constitution, this is a private meeting”. a particularly interesting bit was when all the celebrities (trained actors, remember) denied the stuff about xenu, the evil intergalactic warlord, hur hur hur. a perfect example of another lifted techique – inner “hidden” doctrines protected by professionally trained experts in taqqiyah, if that’s the word. and a particularly scary bit was when the bbc team were all hiding in the bathroom in order to get some privacy, with the scary chap yelling at them “you all right in there?” every five seconds. textbook brainwashing techniques and unbelievably aggressive. i personally recommend people watch the episode of “south park” which made isaac hayes leave the show. how terribly, terribly funny. that’s really the only thing you can do with these people other than avoid them like the plague. and listen to the song “a token of my extreme” on the frank zappa album “joe’s garage”.

don, i’d like to hear more about your experiences.

That happens everywhere though Jagdeep. Many people end up supporting the team that they have seen on TV, unless they have just watched Chelsea.

There are a lot of Indians who go the Wolves match, a fair few who go to West Brom, Coventry and Leicester too ie: local teams, however, there is an epidemic of glory hunter Indians who support Liverpool or Manchester Utd even though they come from places like Southall, Neasden, Coventry and Dudley!

I will cheer on Wolves in the second leg; that makes two of us.

Cheers mate. I’m a glory hunter, I only started supporting them six years ago, my brother-in-law follows them! Punjabi Wolves!

Wolves won 3 titles in the 1950s, and we played in the early years of the European Cup, we beat Real Madrid, Spartak Moscow and Honved at the Molineux. Glory days.

Halifax Town.

Proud holders of two records: Largest away loss in League history, and the only side to have been relegated from the League twice since automatic relegation was introduced.
