I fcking love Mick McCarthy.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

The importance of 'fcking' and 'love's relative positioning in that sentence cannot be overstated.Originally Posted by SkStu

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.
Could be an absolute nightmare for the managers as it could get really complicated, the sort of situation which is not easy to grasp mentally in your head.
If I were Mick I would start off keeping it pretty tight at the back, I expect Blackburn will take the same approach so that should be easy for both teams.
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
