Time for hope or don't get your hopes up?

Three Cheers today for Bournemouth who took another step towards alieviating some of the problems that have plagued the club recently.

But...

Sad news for the North of Wales, as it looks like the Mighty Wrexham Football Club are going out of the league this year. Really sad as the history they have is amazing and they are really a proud club and it is a sad day in the Football League. Hope they come back ASAP.

So close, but who knows. That's the story for AFC Wimbledon this year as they are in 2nd place in the Isthmian League Premier Division (proudly celebrating their 101st year in existence) or level seven of the pyramid, one step away from the Conference South.

Now onto normal news.


Wolves

Well when I last checked in we were hovering around tenth and trying to figure out where the hell we were gonna finish in the table this year. No proven strikers, no Kightly, no tactical knowhow, but we had spirit and hope and we've made it up to seventh.

One point back of the playoffs, two games in hand and six games left in the season.

As of April 7th

Games
Played Points

Bristol City 42 70
Stoke City 42 69
Hull 41 68
Watford 41 68
Albishite 40 67
Crystal Palace 42 62
Wolves 40 61
Ipswich 41 60
Charlton 42 60
Plymouth 42 59

Remaining games:

Sat. Apr 12 Bristol City vs. Wolves (A)
Tues. Apr 15 Wolves vs. Albishite (H) (BLACK COUNTRY DERBY)
Sat. Apr 19 Wolves vs. Ipswich (H)
Tues. Apr 22 Wolves vs. Cardiff (H)
Sat. Apr 26 Coventry vs. Wolves (A)
Sun. May 4 Wolves vs. Plymouth (H)

So in the last six games we play (as of now at least) 1st, 4th, 8th and 10th as well as Cardif who is on one hell of a run and Coventry who are trying to avoid relegation. Coleman looks like he has Coventry going in the right direction whether or not they get relegated.

For Wolves supporters all around the globe this is the time when a choice needs to be made: Keep the hope that not only can we nick a playoff spot, but, maybe and that's a big maybe, we can go for the throat and try for one of the auto spots.

Or....

We can cock this up like every other time and lose the games against the contenders and draw the other two to finish in mid-table obscurity and start thinking about summer break and the thoughts of opening day next year in this god damned division again.

The game this weekend is going to be huge. If we can pull one off at Ashton Gate and Blackpool can help us out tomorrow night against the Shite than the table will look a hell of a lot different after this weekend especially with Palace beating Stoke earlier tonight.

I don't know what to think anymore. Pull a Derby and not only be happy playing the big four and the like but also coming back down with 30 million quid or Hope we pull a Reading and take the division by storm.

Sadly I don't really see the latter coming true, but I have hope..

And as they say, "Hope is the last thing to die"
