I grew up on going to work with my mom in the school holidays, because the flats she cleaned overlooked Molineux carpark so I could watch Bully and Mutchy train. We had a few promotions here and there, a couple even saw me witness in top flight, but never did I as a Wolves fan think I would enjoy the football in the Prem, Sir Jack has spent his millions way to early to compete, and Steve Morgan was happy with 17th or parachute payments each season. Our last season in League One, although embarrassing was exceptionally enjoyable, the fanbase seemed to come together and we just had a bloody good laugh at games. But I can't honestly ever remember enjoying football as much as when Nuno took over the reigns. And especially not as much as this season. We thrived, instead of survived, and for the first time in my lifetime I can say that I'll get to go and see Wolves in European competition. Brought up on the notion Wolves were one of the key reasons European competition exists, I finally get to see it for myself. This season has been the greatest of my lifetime and I'm truly looking forward to the Wolves journey progressing rather than as normal, stagnating. Just hope we don't do a Burnley! I think if you can strengthen the club with a few signings you might not do too badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 Kompany’s finishing up at Man City. What a player he’s been for them. Ultimate professional who also comes across extremely well off the pitch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 I remember when he signed for them, before Sheikh Mansour took over, I was incensed that Arsenal didn't make a move for him. We were crying out for a defender and a defensive midfielder (when aren't we?!) and he ticked both boxes at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 Kompany going to be player-manager at Anderlecht. I didn't think there were player-managers anymore, but if anyone can it him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thought he might sign for a club where he'd have a genuine shot at a Champions League. Like Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) They'll be some big shoes to fill at City now. I wonder who they'll give the captaincy to now. Edited May 19, 2019 by jazzygeofferz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 De Ligt would be a pretty good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could copy and paste this for about a hundred other players over the last 10 years and apply it to Arsenal. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Shame to see Ken Griffey Jr leaving Man City. He was the mainstay of what became the best, most entertaining team I’ve ever seen in English football. Man City really have been a complete joy to watch, they were the first game I’d look for a stream for. Utterly sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted May 19, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Best domestic side I've ever seen. A team full of superstars that manages to be better than the sum of its parts through a generationallly fantastic manager. The horrible bastards.

Mr_Danger Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I've always said football is about not losing and this Man City side lost 4 games this season. They've financially doped themselves to look like the Warlord. They'll always be second in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love it when a wonderkid comes good in the real world. By footballer standards, Kompany has always seemed sound, so I've never fully hated him despite being City captain.
