Here again, for one day only, GeminMallorca brings you the chance to discuss tomorrow’s game before we get down to the real business on Halfy’s stupendous match day thread tomorrow.
Saturday 3rd November sees Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves head south to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham.
2013/2014 was the season that Wolves won the Division 1 league title with a record points haul. On 26th November of that season Wolves beat Tranmere Rovers 2-0 at Molineux thanks to two first half goals from Leigh Griffiths and Dave Edwards. Why is this significant? It is significant because Wolves have not won a league game in November since that day.
In the last 4 years Wolves have played 13 games in November of which they have drawn 5 and lost 8 and I have no doubt that Slaviša Jokanović will be sending out his side tomorrow determined to continue that run.
Wolves last televised game was against Aston Villa which gave Nuno Espirito Santo the chance to showcase his talented young side. On that day with their emphatic 2-0 win over a very good Villa side, Wolves sent out a clear message to the other teams in the division, they also went top of the Championship table for the first time since 2009.
Since then Wolves have had a home game against Preston, and away games against QPR and Norwich not to mention a Carabao Cup clash with Man City at the Etihad. From those games they gained 6 points from 9, acquitted themselves very well against the Premiership league leaders and regained the top spot in the league.
Fulham, fancied for promotion by many at the start of the season have had some disappointing results whilst playing good football. Currently lying 15th in the table after 15 games, the cottagers have amassed 19 points with 4 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. Their last 5 results have been WDLDL so their fans really don’t know what to expect when they turn up to watch their team.
In their last game against Bristol City which they lost 2-0, Fulham’s striker Aboubakar Kamara was sent off. Fulham are appealing the red card and the outcome of that appeal could be pivotal in their bid to come away from Molineux with something tomorrow.
Gem’s prediction: Wolves 3 Fulham 1

I forget some of you chaps must have this abomination of an accent.
Reckon Wrekin has a pretty strong accent and probably goldi.

Bog off yow ya cheeky bugga.
I dont really have an accent, Mum is from shropshire, dad from the scotlands, so I must have been really confused as a kid learning to talk. Have worked and lived in Stafford for ages now and working in sales kind of requires you to communicate clearly.
I can type in broad black country though

We were near neighbours at one time then pal. I was brought up in Tame Bridge on the opposite side of the Walsall-West Brom Road to Yew Tree Estate.

When I was a lad we had a pub almost opposite our house called the Bulls Head. It got demolished when they built the M6 (late 60s)
Wasn't the Fulbrook opposite Joseph Leckie school? My sister used to teach 'Domestic Science' there.
Are you old enough to remember the Navigation pub on the old Walsall Road, half a mile down from Stone Cross? When I was at Firtree Junior school a chemical tanker parked outside the pub exploded and blew the roof right off the pub. I remember bits of metal raining down into the school playground which was about 1 mile away!

Private education
I’m as common as anything. Don’t really have an accent though, been told by many a southern friend it’s difficult to place where I’m from; they just know I’m not a southerner.

To be fair most of my most enjoyable ‘education’ has happened in private

Sorry Gem I meant the Navvy not the station in the middle of The park and the farm.
