    Nothing for Eve here.

    Quote from Eve ref the tonkings Wo1ves have suffered v The Baggies " most of those games mean't nothing in terms of league position"

    Well I beg to differ especially when you consider in most them Wo1ve5 started as favourites.

    93/94 In Div 1. We take do the double and stay up on goal difference. 3 more points and your'e in the play-offs, Win that and it's the Prem for you and WBA 2 divs below you for the only time ever.

    94/95 We win 2-0 at the Hawthorns. If W0lve3 take those 3 points you finish 2nd

    98/99 We take 4 points. You miss out on the play offs by 3 points

    99/00 W0lve3 only manage 2 draws against lowly WBA. Miss play offs by 2 points.

    01/02 Jordao. It's Premiership Albion, Championship Wo1ve5. Nuff said.

    06/07 4 times we beat you. Play offs mean nothing? Had W0lve3 won they would have met a poor Derby side and perhaps beat them.

    07/08 We take 4 points and are Champions by 2.

    11/12 How long have you got? Home humiliation, 2 relegations, how many failed managers?

    Sill think they mean't nothing?

    The 1-5 caused their fans to turn on McCarthy and the board bowed to their wishes and sacked him. They then made horrendous appointments and it was another Albion who consigned them to league 1.
    I reckon Mick would have kept them up.

    I doubt it Des,it’s like outsiders telling us that Pulis would’ve kept us up.

    Bottom line......they are better off having suffered what they have suffered to end up where they are now with the owners,players and manager they have now.

    I can't argue with that Mick, but scarily we are appearing to make the same mistakes.

    It’s called History. No matter what aspect of life, nobody learns from it.
