Like Christmas Eve...

[Fenrir_]

... for some! We kick off again tomorrow, begin a new journey, and football itself should almost feel normal for the first time in nearly 18 months. But we know certain areas of the squad still need addressing and we're taking a step into the unknown somewhat.

So how excited (or not) are you that the season is about to kick off?

 

[Monketron]

Excited because win or lose we should be playing some entertaining stuff. I'd take 13th again in a heartbeat though (if we don't make any more first team signings).

 

[JH1902]

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit nervous but I think we'll do OK. I certainly don't think we'll be relegated, my feelings may well change after the first few games of the season (change for the better, I hope!)

 

[Leemack]

It's definitely like christmas eve for me.

Back as a season ticket holder with the lads, 9 of us going to Leicester tomorrow so pub opens early for us for breakfast and beers. Then on holiday from work for a week, then off on holiday after the Spurs game.
All we need to now is win our first 2 games and that'll be a Carlsberg week

Ever the optimist me

 

[citrus_wolf]

I just hope that VAR doesn't swiftly poison the happiness of this season, to be honest.

Euro 2020 actually rescued my faith in football somewhat, because major England moments weren't marred by hesitating to celebrate.

But following a Wolves team where goals seem as though they'll be few and far between, if there's yet more stalled minutes and dumb decisions, I might just stop watching.

I love Wolves but win or lose, I can't stand how technology is killing my enjoyment. More-sensible, less intrusive application... Please?

 

[WS10Wolf]

You have to be hopeful and excited at the start of a new season, otherwise what’s the point?

 

[QB Wolf]

14th August is a bit soon to me, I struggle to get excited about football in the summer before September.

That may well change at 3pm tomorrow.

 

[arooooo]

Thoroughly excited, but ain't makin' no predictions!!

 

[Shergar]

This thread title reminds me of the summer we signed Geoff Thomas, Kelly and Keen and SJH’s Molineux rebuild was near completion. The Friday before the Bristol City game I couldn’t stop throwing up at work with the excitement for Saturday - just like being a kid at Xmas. Wolves, eh?

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

With the same presents you've had for the last few years, and a couple of jumpers for you to grow in to, maybe next year you will finally get the bike you've been promised.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

I actually cannot wait for us to lose 4,5-0 tomorrow .

Realistically I want us to win, but there is no way that can happen with this defence imo .

Big defeat is exactly what fosun need to give themselves a kick up the ****

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I'm always the same ahead of a new season - giddy with excitement until we get the first bad result, at which point I settle into a pattern of despondency

445pm tomorrow then

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Is that a new CB wrapped up in Santa paper, and hidden behind the curtains?

 

[Contrarian]

"All of the above". Not joking, either, other than "total disaster", I vary between all the other options, hour by hour!

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Absolutely cacking it!

like Bruno, love the idea of wild attacking football, think we have some talented attackers but my god we need a top class CH and CM! Get some legs alongside Ruben & Joao!

 

[JohnB]

Excited for season to start.

Meh re tomorrow (will we score at Leicester, can we fill bench?).

For me season starts next Sunday vs Spuds. Hopefully with a transfer in plus Mosquera and Podence returning.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Finally, the season starts. Been too long.
Imo, even without any new players, we have a great squad and will be fine, somewhere between 4th. from the top and 4th. from the bottom.

However, hopefully, over the next couple seasons, Lage can make us a dominant, feared and respected club.

 

[Oliwolf44]

Its like christmas eve but there are no new toys to play with on christmas day, and you have to sell all your old gifts in order to go basement bargain shopping in the january sales.

 

[1972 i began]

Keep popping me head out of the blankets to see if hes bin...Santa that is.

Think Bruno is living my childhood.

come on Santa Mendes,gerra move on.


Oh and definitely looking forward to tomorrow and the rest of the season...I voted for..really excited it will be a fun ride.

No new toys, you say?
Trincao might turn out to be Scalectrix, Meccanno and Subbuteo all rolled into one.

 

[SmokeyGB]

It's also Football eve for team that i manage in West Yorks League 2 (step7)..

I'm getting so excited and nervous between Clough and Wolves..

Good luck! What's your management style?

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Smashing. A great big Turkey tomorrow.

(joking of course, good luck to the team against Leicester).

 

[MasWolf]

I'm excited because we're such an unknown prospect this time round. We could end up getting Europe or being relegated, I really have no idea what to expect.

Just as long as it's not serious stuffing ..

 

[WickedWolfie]

Certainly not like Christmas Eve for Barca fans.

Apparently they were permitted just under 28.5k fans in their 99k capacity ground this weekend. Only 15.5k of their 83k ST holders even applied for tickets....

Oh, and they still owe players an absolute fortune in deferred wages. Apparently £38M to Messi alone.....

Apparently Messi single-handedly generated 30% of Barca's income too while costing 8%.

In the first few days after he signed PSG sold nearly 900k Messi shirts... they are now available to pre-order, expected delivery October....

Meanwhile Nike and all of Barca's sponsors are demanding renegotiations...

 

[SuziQ]

I am excited for the game and I'm not even going.

It is a bit like being a kid at Christmas except I'll actually sleep ok tonight!

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

It is a bit like Christmas eve. I want to open my presents NOW.

 

[SmokeyGB]

Good luck! What's your management style?

3-5-2.
Like to compress play (deep line) - let them have the ball in their 3rd, don't press until in our half, and then hunt in 3's within a 30 yard radius. All about triangles in defence and attack.

Many thanks

 

[Yamalroite]

Train cans in the fridge with a gills pork pie.
I've missed this. Cant wait

 

[Padraig]

Rolling in at 12am ****ed with a by-now unpreventable hangover that will without doubt ruin almost all of the following day?

No, it’s definitely not Christmas Eve.

OMG. Call yourself a supporter!!

 

[chignalwolf]

I Voted "Really excited, it'll be a fun ride" every season i have supported the mighty Wolves i would have voted that,
Nobody can say supporting Wolves hasn't been exciting & interesting every season, well only since 1955 LOL

Have a word with yourself no fan wants to lose

 

[SA Wolf]

Have a word with yourself no fan wants to lose

This! Even though I can't see us getting anything but a defeat today (I seriously hope to be pleasantly surprised, though), I would never 'want' Wolves to lose, regardless of the circumstances.
