I fcking love Mick McCarthy.
It gets lonely around the prairies of Saskatchewan.
The importance of 'fcking' and 'love's relative positioning in that sentence cannot be overstated.Quote:

it was indeed a well thought out post.
Geysir, it does. However, the thoughts of Mick McCarthy keeping Wolves up each season helps me get through the long, cold winter... that and the moonshine.
Kean the Blackburn manager had to fly over to India during the week (has to go over once a month to give a "progress" report). Bizarre carry on. Won't be an easy game for Wolves. Samba is an excellent player. I bet both managers will settle for a draw come midway second half if the other results look like going their way. We often see mental results on the last day of a season so I would prefer to see Wolves go for it and try win but I have a feeling the game will be very cagey with all eyes on the other games.
Good thing he wasn't flying the plane.Quote:

Then they have to hope the other games go their way, the problem comes (especially for Mick) if one of team below them takes the lead.
Then it gets really hairy.
The longer it stay stalemated for all teams the more the pressure grows, if the teams below them do well it is better they do well early, that gives
them time to respond. The nightmare is late winners for two teams below them, relegating Wolves.
The alternative approach is just for Wolves to go for a win from the off.
I am not sure if Mick has his strategy worked out yet, but it could be the most dramatic afternoon of the season.
I have a feeling a fair few of us will be roaring on MM and the Wolves tomorrow/today. Got to go into this game thinking only a win will do. Come on Wolves.
Doyle fails to make Wolves' squad today. Those saying he might make it appear to have been a bit too optimistic. Nevertheless, Ward starts up front again with Foley and Hunt also featuring from the off.
Well neither side seems to be playing for a draw at the moment, chances at both ends, I think Ward just
got a shot in but it was a comfortable save.
Blackpool losing, good news for Mick, at least it was until they went a goal down to a deflected goal.
Probably happened at about the time the news of Blackpool arrived.
This is the nightmare scenario I spoke of earlier.
If they concede another goal the drop down one place!!!
Wolves 2-0 down now. Does that place them in the relegation zone?
2-0 Blackburn. Charlie Adam free kick 1-1 Blackpool
Oh dear they have gone 2-0 down, dropping a place, if Wigan score now they are relegated.
Blackpool have equalised.
Looks like the rapture has started for Wolves.
They are in the relegation zone!!
Wheels coming off. got to get to half time without conceeding another goal. Getting over run in midfield with O'hara thinking he is a much better player than he actually is.
Wolves doing their best to **** it all away. Taking a lesson from a side no less average than themselves.
Oh Dear. 3-0
Hoilett 3-0 Blackburn
brutal.
Wolves' back four look terrible....
At the moment it looks like their only chance is results else where going their way.
However, when they concede another goal, which looks a certainty at the moment, they need
2 results to go their way (not even sure if that is enough actually!)
Get Henry and either one of the center backs off and bring on Stearman and Milijas. Ward has played OK but Samba has Fletcher in his pocket. Mick has to take a lot of the blame for one playing Henry and two having him as captain. A poor mans Joey Barton .
relying on United to win, keeping it at 3 and hoping that Wigan dont score.
Wolves were about 9-1 to go down, now they are marginally odd-on.
All Wolves really need is a Spurs goal against Birmingham and they'll be safe no matter what the score in their match
What a miss from Hunt.
Spurs have scored!!
This musical chairs craic at the bottom is mighty entertainment for the neutral. Birmingham in the dead zone now.
If Wolves concede another they are back in the shyte though.
edit - and they just nearly did.
awful defending from Foley there. Great save frm Hennessy. That might just be the break they need to stay up. Blackpool 2-1 up. Incredible.
There was talk on here of Wolves going down to a last minute goal with odds of 50-1
Wish i had £1,000 on it.
this is insane.
What a wonderfull free kick and great goal. We should try that against Macedonia.
Goal back for Wolves, I think that moves them up a place on goal difference.
Wolves to win 4-3 and Blackburn to go down!
Blackpool losing now, that moves Wolves up another place.
It didn't put them ahead, but Blackpool conceding a goal has lifted them up on points. Evatt has had a shocker for Blackpool.
What an afternoon, and there are 15 minutes to go!!
