Not for me. Call me a scrooge but don't get this glorifying of running on the pitch (regardless of age). Yes emotions were very high, but it will only encourage others sadly. I get it's not the same as some drugged up idiot running on during a game, but rules are rules. Stay off the pitch.

I agree. They won't be letting Palmer on the Wembley pitch.

 

[Nick]

It leads to this sort of shite and encourages shitty behaviour in kids and means those not up for bei by an obnoxious prick never get a chance. Would genuine ban the signs from the ground. Would certainly tell the players never to rewards it.

That's embarrassing

 

[procdoc]

Right, I’ve finally recovered from yesterday!

On the way to the game I was thinking I’ll be happy as long as we turn up and give it everything.

I wasn’t expecting us to have so much possession and we used the ball incredibly well. If not for Sa and some suspect finishing we would’ve been out of sight.

Defensively we looked solid. We made a mistake for their equaliser and their second goal was down to individual brilliance from Ait-Nouri. The speed he glides across the pitch at whilst in possession of the ball is breathtaking. And his pass to Bueno was exquisite.

Ben Sheaf was unreal. His composure on the ball was a joy to watch. Palmer can frustrate but he shown real moments of quality and was so unlucky not to score.

Simms was a wrecking machine. He bullied experienced centre halves for 100 minutes. Yes he missed a sitter but he didn’t let it affect him.

Bidwell turned into prime Roberto Carlos yesterday, he put in some exquisite crosses. When he emptied his pockets I’m sure he found Nelson Semedo in there.

I’ve said it since day one, Wright is a fantastic player at our level. His movement is premier league quality and he was the coolest person in Molineux when Simms laid it off the him.

Finally, Mark Robins. Everyone, including Wolves, assumed we were playing a back 5. Switching to a back four and pushing MVE further forward was an absolute tactical masterclass. For me, he’s unquestionably our greatest manager ever.

It’s the best game I’ve ever been to

 

[mmttww]

It's the best game I’ve ever been to

I watched it at the Empire and after reflecting on it, realised it might be the best game of football I've watched, nevermind favourite city game.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Full match available at 6pm tonight, you might be able to twist my arm into watching it again!

Which channel or is it ITV-X

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Wright’s winner yesterday is giving me similar vibes to the lay-off and strike goal by Noel Whelan against Man U in 1997

 

[Otis]

No song yet @gruffskyblue , very poor

I don't think I have seen a fitter CCFC team, we never stopped for 100 minutes

If he's going to do one, it should be the Beatles Come Together, as I am sure there were loads of us doing that yesterday at the final whistle.

 

[Otis]

Well it certainly put to bed the myth that o hare is no longer interested and a disruptive influence

And also the one that Palmer can only do well against lesser opposition.

 

[shmmeee]

Love the thing people do to just add something random in to make themselves sound better. No one has ever said O’Hare is a disruptive influence. But let’s add that in to make myself seem better

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Just about recovered, don't remember getting in last night. Absolutely incredible day.

Favourite moment after the game was getting on the train back to Manchester and the person checking tickets seeing my shirt and loudly saying "Oh these 2 have tickets for Wembley"

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Can we make this lad mascot for Wembley

Most definitely, brilliant from the lad, a Sky Blues supporter for life

 

[Warwickhunt]

Not been a good weekend for Fester by the look of things

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

….erm every Wolves player other than Ait-Nouri and maybe Sa perhaps

That just sent shivers down my spine. How good is that?

 

[joemercersaces]

Walking back up that hill from the away section with nearly 5000 Cov fans singing Que Sera Sera, it doesn’t get much better than that!

I felt sorry for the Wolves fans caught in the traffic alongside the path of Cov fans - the odd tap on the car roof and drowning out their radios - bless

Not sure a chant for Haji to the tune of a gary glitter song will take off

 

[Blind-Faith]

Doesn’t get boring watching the winner does it?

 

[Otis]

Yeah, I was the same with the 2nd world war.

not half bad is he, that Haji Wright?

 

[Otis]

Not shite then?

And Simms not a lad stealing a living as a footballer?

Who would have thunk it.

almost like robins knows what he’s doing

 

[MusicDating]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but did anyone see the middle-aged guy in a Wolves shirt trying to start on Cov fans as we made our way up the slope outside the away end? Old bill came and nicked him pretty sharpish, which was probably best for his own safety. Random, and funny as!

 

[mmttww]

Did the chant of 'Wanky Wanderers' get wheeled out this time? Made me laugh all game last time I went.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Start of this well worth a listen, all about us

Listen to their glowing views of what MR has done them consider how much moaning there has been on this forum this season. We don’t know how good we’ve got it. Enjoy it while it’s here.
