FINALLY!!!
I do believe you're now getting the message, Eve.
You live in our shadow - who'd have thought it to hear big-gob D1ngle5 spouting fictitious superiority. Fans of a certain age have listened to their Dads/Grandads reminiscing over the 1950s, but that's the only bright spell in Wo1ve5' history, I'm afraid.
Apart from the 50s you have that golden era of "The Steve Bull Years", and named a stand after his achievements in the 4th, 3rd, 2nd Divisions (but not the Top League!) No wonder your fans are some of the worst yobs in the country (along with Leeds and Millwall).
Hi talkSAFT
When it comes to having a good memory of glory years Albions fans need long memories of their most successful era it was the 10 or 11 years from 1920 when they won the league once( for the only time) and won the cup and came 2nd twice. Since then they have never won the league - they won League Cup in '66 won the Fa cup twice.- the last time 50 years ago(not exactly yesterday!). Since then Wolves have won the League cup twice last time 1980.
Wolves had previously also been Finalists in UEFA Cup Final 1972,semi finalist in European Cup Winners' cup'60s,Quarter finalists in European Cup,60s . Notice I haven't even mentioned the 50s but perhaps I should have 'cause Albion had a half decent team in those days.
So please inform me about Albion's golden era and any major title they have won in the last 50 years............I wait with baited breath!
Hi talkSAFT
You seem to think the taking part is greater than the winning,this very admirable.
Unfortunately most people aren't so interested in how many times their team lost the fifth round of the cup or even getting knocked out in the semis.
What the majority of supporters are interested in and want to know is how many times their club actually won a major trophy.
So here goes:-

Skim reading this thread confirms my suspicions. I made the right move spending the last couple of days sat in the sun drinking chilled beer with mates and the occasional glass of wine with the wife. The great outdoors has a lot going for it, as do cold beer and chilled wine. The wife has her moments too. I'm looking forward to a quality summer. All of the very best to all, just try getting out a little more .
Sorry CS is that the Charity Shield ? If so that list aint worth the effort of posting it.
