Wolves Vs Barnsley – Match Preview

By: Toby | April 23rd, 2009

Bare with me on this one guys, I’ve written five thousand words this evening for University work, ever wondered how a 1929 silent film discusses the themes of city in relation to T.S Eliot’s The Wasteland? Or how various adaptations of Dracula have diluted the original text? You haven’t? Welcome to my world for the next few weeks. Indeed, these few hundred words are a veritable holiday for the old brain and fingers, but please excuse me if my mental maths isn’t up to date.

Right then! We’re up! We’re promoted, three cheers all round! Has it sunk in yet? Has it heck, I’ve barely come down from my little cloud ever since the final whistle and I’m showing no sign of doing so just yet. In the past week I’ve heard some hilarious rumours about all the various players we’re going to sign because the red tops have suddenly realised that we exist and therefore as we’re going to be in the Premiership next season, we’re interesting again. Cue some outrageous claims of transfer budgets, 15 Million here, 25 million there, 50 million whispered somewhere else from a “club insider” (Sun journalist with 2 inches to fill). Because as we all know Mick and the club have been about as easy to second guess as a spiralling rugby ball on a bobbly pitch when it comes to transfers over the last few years, and we all know that’ll just come back to hit you in the balls.

It’s all the stuff of guff and nonsense and we all know it, however it’s still interesting to read these stories, hearing that we’re apparently linked with Mancienne is always nice, although I’ve seen he’s also been linked with Real Madrid so…

Right then, Barnsley! We’re away, I have no idea how strong our side will be because to be honest if I were big Mick I’d be wrapping the likes of Jarvis, Henners, Berra and Ebanks in cotton wool and packing him away in the bottom draw till August, so you can probably expect them to start, because if I’ve learnt anything while writing this blog, it’s that Mick does the opposite to whatever I say.

The way it’s looking, if Birmingham fail to win on Saturday we’ll be crowned league Champions. I doubt they will though, as they’re a win away from Promotion themselves, however a point will be good enough for the Championship regardless of what the Blues do, which is pretty fantastic.

Right then, that’s it for me for now, it’s been a nice break but the Feminist Criticism of Frankenstein awaits….hurray?

Score prediction for me…pffff 2-0 to the boys in Gold, Harewood to finally break that goal drought (I’m aware it’s nowhere near a drought)

Tarra-a-bit!
