Wolves Vs Perth Glory – Match Preview

By: Toby | July 7th, 2009

Semi Breaking News – Chelsea Boss Carlo Ancelotti is willing to let Michael Mancienne come to Wolves on loan for the season. I am very, VERY excited by this. More news as it comes!!

Right then, let’s set the mood for this with a bout of the Australian National anthem.

And what a rousing piece it is. Now, mild xenophobia aside I thought that, while this game is a bit of a meaningless lark around down under it’s non the less a good bit of practice, time to iron the creases out, stretch those muscles which have been getting slack in the off period and pretty much blow away the cobwebs…and that’s just me. For Wolves, it represents the chance for the new signings to have a bit of a bonding session. I can see it now, Kevin Doyle sharing Elokobi’s I-pod…(which would probably just consist of the sounds of very very heavy things being thrown against other heavy things.) Milijas playing top trumps with Hennessey and Surman and Halford playing British Bull dog with Kightly and Jarvis. It’ll be a veritable love in, which is why it’s a good thing that we’ve got two games to play while the team are larking around.

First up are Perth Glory, now, I’m at a bit of a loss as to how good a side they are, but here’s a very good blog about them. Perth as a quick google tells me are a side which have finished 7th in their league for the past three seasons, in a league which seemingly only has eight teams. They’ve recently acquired 34 year old Andy Todd from Derby? I’m clutching at straws here. Either way, it should be nice to see some football again, I’m going to try my very very internet hardest to see if I can track down some footage of the game, if anyone’s rolling a camera I’ll try and find it!

A quick shout to anyone who’s going to the games and if they fancy writing a bit about it (don’t feel pressurised at all….but I will require 1000 words and for it to be submitted 5 minutes after full time) I am of course joking, a paragraph will do me, just let us know how the new lads are getting on and I’ll pad it out with pictures. Deal? Email me at toblerone705[at]hotmail.com but obviously with an @ sign.

Well, have fun those of you who are going, I’ve had an email off one of your number by the name of Shaun, and he says that if any of you are going and would like to meet, there shall be a group of Wolves fans at the Brisbane Hotel, corner of Beaufort and Brisbane street in Northbridge. It’s about a 10 minute walk from the ground, so there you go!

Till then, tarra-a-bit!
