Is back , fantastic yesterday !
We haven’t had any at home yet. Burnley will be the first this season which is crazy.Give us a team to back and we are the best ground in the league, it’s getting there. Just wish we could put the lower teams away like we do the big boys
It was deafening, what a feeling
Absolutely agree - an old adage always trotted out by opposition managers to their players was keep Molineux quiet - when Molineux is "bouncing" and it's on song they can't think of a worse place to beGive us a team to back and we are the best ground in the league, it’s getting there.

Gene Kelly Stand??When watching from TV, the mayhem in the South Bank was unreal, when GON run towards the Gene Kelly stand after the second goal went in.
Some people where literally floating around in vertical position...

That was probably me I'm in the South Bank and weigh 14 stones and my son was throwing me around like a rag doll - being in my 60s you'd have thought I would be worried but this is what wolves can do to you I was as bonkers as my son - Seriously though thank goodness for the safe standing in the South Bank there were no people tumbling down rows - please make this legal in all grounds - it actually works without spoiling enjoyment of standing upWhen watching from TV, the mayhem in the South Bank was unreal, when GON run towards the Gene Kelly stand after the second goal went in.

Reminds me of the "Cuckoo Lane" End at Oxford United.Singing in the rain stand
Don't think that had anything to do with us kicking towards the South Bank second half. It was all to do with our defenders looking in to the sun in the first half.Interesting how Spurs turned us around yesterday at the start (not the first team to do that this season). Obviously didn't want to be defending the Southbank in the second half.
Makes you wonder what visiting teams perception is of the SB.
You've done well to wipe the score from your memory, I think we lost 4-0 and it took about a week to dry out. Thank God for a packed terrace though, imagine sitting!Reminds me of the "Cuckoo Lane" End at Oxford United.
It ****ed down all game and a rendition of "Singing in the Rain" played out on the visitors open terrace.
Can't remember if we won or not.....
Maybe so, but I seem to recall that their defenders equally struggled with that in the second half and made that comment to someone next to me at the time.Don't think that had anything to do with us kicking towards the South Bank second half.

I think Spurs were hoping for rain second half - I remember my old PE teacher saying if you win the toss if it's sunny make their defenders look in to the sun - weather may change if the pitch is sloping kick down hill hopefully it will wear them out - but I agree some teams wouldn't want us kicking to the South Bank second halfMaybe so, but I seem to recall that their defenders equally struggled with that in the second half and made that comment to someone next to me at the time.

Thanks31615
Some were saying we would be cut adrift at the bottom, when they seen our first 6/7 home games ...We haven’t had any at home yet. Burnley will be the first this season which is crazy.
Looking at the fixtures and given the state we were in post JLo, I thought we’d be on 5 or 6 points after a dozen games!!Some were saying we would be cut adrift at the bottom, when the seen our first 6/7 home games ...
i agree.......i was saying the same, thought we would struggle at the start even if lopetegui had stayed....although i didnt think we would be cut adrift as i thought most people were over egging the promoted teams.....For instance some were saying Burnley would stop up with ease, without realizing that because of loan players they didnt have the same team that got promoted..Looking at the fixtures and given the state we were in post JLo, I thought we’d be on 5 or 6 points after a dozen games!!
I was hoping thereafter that as the fixtures improve we’d be going up the table. I was pleading with fans to take that into account and to stick with GON until the fixtures eased !!!
Well it’s a credit to him, and the team, that we’re way ahead of my prediction. Listening to his post match interview yesterday however, it seems like he was sharing my concerns at the outset
Wonder if anyone in the North Bank left on 90 minutes and came running back with the roars

The "easier" fixtures often turn out to be not quite as easy as they appear. If Man City, Villa, Newcastle and Spurs had placed us in that category they would have been sent away disappointed. And our games against struggling Luton and Sheffield Utd turned out to be anything but easy! Teams below us in the table will all have done their research on our strengths and weaknesses and will set up accordingly to frustrate us and maximise their own prospects. There's no reason to believe we won't achieve a decent points return from the forthcoming fixtures but complancy is our enemy, there are no easy games in the PL and every game comes with its own challenges.Looking at the fixtures and given the state we were in post JLo, I thought we’d be on 5 or 6 points after a dozen games!!

I like the way we play against the top teams.

Correct on all pointsWe were loud after the goals but I thought the atmosphere was generally flat for the most part, as it often is for early kick offs.
I’d say Spurs swapped us round due to the sun. Sa had it in his eyes all first half but their keeper was in the shade for the 2nd half.
Thanks Monk, I looked all over for it.31615
We all know it can be deafening but that's the first time a lot of that squad will have heard what the place can be like, not to mention O'NeilOld school when that 2nd went in.
I love that you can hear 25,000 people say “Go on!” in unison just before Lemina scores haha. Beautiful stuff.In my opinion, this gives an extremely good view of the molineux roar
