Wolves PodJockey Adam Thompson wonders if McCarthy's men are nothing without their wing wizards Kightly and
Jarvis.
‘Woeful', ‘Abysmal', ‘Horrendous' were just some of the
words that were used by a few unlucky Wolves fans who attended a miserable game
(for us) in a bleak rain soaked Swansea. And I couldn't have put it
better myself. After a disastrous 0-3 home defeat to Reading which saw wolves
lose not only the watch but arguably the two best performers for Wolves this
season in Michael Kightly and Matt Jarvis. The mumbles around Molineux were
starting, the ‘Here we go again' seemed oh too familiar but remaining
positive was a must for our trip to Swansea despite such setbacks.

columnist Adam Thompson applauds the appointment of Paul Ince and
feels that he is more than capable of taking Blackburn Rovers to the next
level.
At the backend of last season, (around the time when every insulting adjective was attached to Wolves
Manager Mick McCarthy's name.), there came a cry for a new man to steer my
club, the apparent ‘sleeping giant'
back into the Premiership. Sam Allardyce, Steve McClaren even Graham Taylor
were linked to the job. However the firm favourite was a man that had served
Wolves well in his 4 year stay, a man that in his first season guided us to
promotion and was the experienced head in our ill fated relegation season, that
man was Paul Ince or as he likes to be known ‘The Guvnor'.

columnist Adam Thompson feels that Rafa Benitez must pull out the
stops and bring in the one man who can make Liverpool serious title contenders.
Euro 2008 hasn't produced any unknown stars for me, in fact
if anything it's only enhanced the growing reputations of stars who are
dazzling their own domestic leagues, Lukas Podolski, Wesley Sneider and the
Tottenham bound Luka Modric have all caught my eye. However one player has been
simply fantastic (deadly even) all
most as sharp as the lines in his goatee and the spikes on his head and that is
Spain's
David Villa.

columnist Adam Thompson can understand why Ronaldo may want to
leave United and feels supporters sometimes forget that football is just a job,
at the end of the day.
I sat in a pub with some work mates of mine discussing one of
the hot topics at the moment - Cristiano Ronaldo's ‘will he won't he' transfer to Real Madrid. One slated his loyalty ‘a total disgrace to the club that stood by
him after the aftermath of the 2006 World Cup' said he, the other argued ‘If someone is stupid enough to pay you that
much money wouldn't you?'
