Walsall vs Wolves Rivalry

[Jungleee]

Martin Jol (Fulham Manager) made some comments yesterday:

I love the English people. Maybe that is wrong because at the end at Spurs there were a few people who were not nice to me. I always loved it here, and not only in London. I was even in Walsall and loved it, and that is maybe not the best of places.

Is it just me that finds this funny? Thought I'd stoke the rivalry a bit

 

[Timberwolf]

Like stoking the rivalry between a lion and a mouse!

"not the best of places"... Its not that bad for a bus stop

 

[Wolv3nsam]

I'm indifferent towards Walsall but apparently they really hate us...

 

[Bromsgrove_Wolf]

They are a team that I hope to do well in all honesty and also look out for their results. I used to watch them on and off a few years ago when Wolves were away over the festive period and they were at home (I was about 10-14 so too young to travel by myself with Wolves). I wore my Wolves shirt to the Bescott against Sheffield United once and got some proper funny looks from both sets of fans..

 

[Danwolf]

There is no rivalry - Walsall hate Wolves but Wolves couldnt give a $$$$ about Walsall. Amusing comment by Jol though!

They despise us - even more than Stoke and Norwich do.

It's a curious power trip, being hated by teams about whom we care little!

 

[LSFwolf]

Why was he in Walsall though?

 

[tyronewolf]

Why was he in Walsall though?

Car Boot Sale

 

[leedswolf]

Why was he in Walsall though?

When he was playing for the $$$$ and/or Coventry?

 

[HICKO]

:d:d

car boot sale

 

[LSFwolf]

When he was playing for the $$$$ and/or Coventry?

OOOOOOhhhhhh Didn't realise he'd played for them.

 

[mrwolf]

who are walsall???

 

[PabloWolfo]

Why was he in Walsall though?

Went for a coffee at the RAC building?

 

[Mr Wolf]

I see Walsall a bit like Telford in a way that we most of us probably look out for their results and want them to win.

 

[Apocalypse Now]

I care nothing for Walsall and am not the least interested in their plight. They dont hate us it is just very extreme envy. Think the towns a $$$$ hole also.

 

[PeteWolf]

Only team that booed during Billy Wright's national minute of silence. Even the Albion were respectful for that.

 

[TheRetroChief]

There was loads of fighting after the preseason friendly just gone, or the one before. What's that all about? Pitched battles round the Park Inn next door.

 

[Mugwump]

I really, really, really hate Walsall with a passion. More than any other football club on the planet. Idiot fans in a crap town. If i won big on the lottery i would buy them and close them down. Wish they would just go out of buisness.

 

[PabloWolfo]

Without looking it up, I couldn't tell say with 100% certainty which division they're in.

 

[andyc225]

Wals-who?

 

[Space Wolf]

I like to see them do well. If they don't then I don't lose any sleep over it. They should be our feeder club in all honesty.

 

[RedFlagWolf]

Only team that booed during Billy Wright's national minute of silence. Even the Albion were respectful for that.

....apart from the sick chanting and goading of Billy Wright's death for many many years after by a significant minorityof there fans...disgraceful!

 

[PeteWolf]

Song for pre-season...


You don't like us,
You don't like us,
You don't like us,
We don't care.

You are Walsall,
You are tiny,
We don't hate you,
We don't care.

 

[50pencehead]

Walsall FC, the club that pulls in more revenue from billboard advertising on the M6 and car boot sales than match revenue

 

[TheRetroChief]

I have to work right next to Bescot :hmpf:

 

[we8wba]

Small tinpot club with no ambition or relevance tbh

I've watched them 3-4 times last season when wolves wernt playing! They try play nice football but it's just a matter of when not if they relegated to bottom tier in the league

Easy to see why they hate us other midlands clubs, pure jealousy

 

[Burton Wolf]

I wouldn't watch them if it was free to get in and I lived across the road!

 

[wolvesinwales]

I was at a wedding last year and bumped into a Walsall bore who loudly bragged that when the Wolves result (defeat) was announced at Bescot 'stadium' it got the biggest cheer of the day. I replied i don't think they even read your scores out at Molineux and even if they did no one would be interested in the slightest.

 

[wolf97]

Walsall are $$$$ing tinpot.

Let's just ignore them. who cares if they hate us?? We shoul be past caring about a bottom half League 1 team.

Good luck next season Saddlers! (in getting relegated)

 

[SOUTHBANK_BULLY]

walsall fans hate us because they're jealous of what we have won and what we've got and our fan base , the only cups ever to be displayed at fellows park/bescot are tea cups FACT

 

[Dr Wolfenstein]

Well, I love Walsall & have many fond memories of Fellows Park in the early 60s & later. Some great exploits v Newcastle, Man City & Albion.(& later v Liverpool) Climbing from the 4th to the 2nd Division. Some very good players (eg Allan Clarke, George Kirby, Tony Richards, Colin Taylor, Mark Rees). David Kelly's hat-trick in the late 80s play-off final.

All part of my Black Country heritage.

Arrogance is not an attractive or endearing trait, neither when displayed by Wolves' fans nor by fat ex-Baggie dyke fingerers.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Without looking it up, I couldn't tell say with 100% certainty which division they're in.

Division 1!!!!!!!! It's off topic but an interesting discussion point - looking at the fixtures last week I had no idea that League 2 housed Aldershot, Burton, Cheltenham (just down the road?!),Dagenham and Macclesfield. Amazing also when a side like Luton are below these teams. League 1 will be interesting with such big sides as both Sheffields, Charlton and Preston. But there again do we care - we are Premier League!!!!

 

[London Wolves]

When the Wolves v Liverpool game was called off I went to the Walsall v West Ham game. I wasn't showing any colours but I got called a wolves Steve Hunt so many times I lost count and left before half time.

Smallsal is a horrible hole!

How did they know?

 

[rincewind]

How did they know?

Perhaps he didn't smell and could use all his fingers & both thumbs to count to exactly 10?

 

[WonderWolf]

How did they know?

My guess is he told them that the game was of and he'd come to support the local team ...it just got round!

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

He made the mistake of "reading" the programme. Dead giveaway, happened to me once.

There was loads of fighting after the preseason friendly just gone, or the one before. What's that all about? Pitched battles round the Park Inn next door.

I took my youngest son to that friendly and to be totally honest it was one of themost uncomfortable games I have been to and my son was actually quite frightened.

This wasn't because of the Walsall support, which has an average age of 55, but because of the 16-18yr old Wolves $$$$ers in our end ripping up seats and generally being utter scum.

For the record they really dislike us. I remember afew years back when the Walsall Advertiser began to report on Wolves games until they were inundated with complaints from Walsall fans and they reverted back to only reporting on Walsall.

 

[reanswolf]

North and west Walsall has a load of Wolves fans, yes they have always hated us and used to love it when we went through our Bhatti demise.

They are now situated in Benny-territory really, they starting to dislike them quite a lot too.

When I went shopping in the Saddlers centre last summer was amazed at the amount of kids in Wolves tops compared to anyone else, maybe they feel the same about us as i feel when i see kids in manure tops in our town.

I now feel ambivalent about them (is that the word?)
