Quiz | Wolves' Black Country derby goals

Wolves head to the Hawthorns on Sunday afternoon in search of their first away win in a Black Country derby since the 1996/97 season.

Only going back to 1996, amateurs

So Fabio Silva scored more goals for us against The Albion, than Bully did?

Bully's first goal (and game) against Albion was 1989.

Iwan Roberts and Bull both have 4 against Albion.

Not sure what the record is, presumably Richards?

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Richards only got 3.

Dougan scored 5 in 8 games against them.

Probably someone in the 50s who betters that?

That’s why I was confused!

 

[Trips]

31/37 on the quiz, missed the 3rd scorer at home in 2001. And then a few before 94 (to be expected )

Ha, right, thanks mate.

Thought it was weird!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ha, right, thanks mate.

Thought it was weird!

Accept no imitations!

Bully only ever scored at home once vs Albion which Fabio has matched. Though watching back on one of the videos EP posted in the week, he plays a big part in Roberts' goal at Molineux in 1997 (actually a superb team goal).

Wolves' 28-year, 11-game wait for a win against West Brom at The Hawthorns

Wolves have been unable to beat West Brom away from home in 28 years — will that change on Sunday?

Lads if you want content, just come and ask, eh.

'The sh1t 1 Wolves 1'

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think it's only fair to conclude that with:

- My quizzes (and old writing, if you like such stuff)
- Quirk's videos
- Lee Naylor's commentary
- Glasgow knowing everything about every club as soon as one fan enters his bar

New Invention is basically the centre of the Wolves universe.

It still blows my mind that "New Invention" is a place in Wolvo and not some hipster startup company.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Annoyingly it falls under the banner of Walsall (by a matter of yards). Which is why I went to QMGS and not Wolves Grammar.

Also meant I got a far higher concentration of Villa fans at school than you would expect which was of course, great.

Never thought to look up where the name comes from...I have now

This place owes its strange name to a simple circumstance. The tenant of the first house erected there was annoyed by a smoky chimney, and he contrived an ingenious apparatus to remedy the evil. ... he invited every visitor to see his 'new invention' as he called it. ... it was applied to distinguish his house ... and others ... adopted it also.[1] Hackwood states that the invention was "a hawthorn bush which was pushed out the top of his chimney."[2]

I never knew that's how it got it's name

For a long time I thought 'circular' was a place, because it said it on the front of buses. Only vaguely relevant but a worthwhile contribution I'm sure

I'm not sure what would be worse at school in the 90s, loads of Villa fans, or loads of United fans, which is what I had (in Kidderminster )

I didn't mind Villa, but then there were only a handful of their fans that I knew, and they were OK.

United however, I absolutely hated them, that hatred hasn't left me.

It's Walsall MBC administratively, but Wolverhampton historically and functionally.

Genuine story - it (and Willenhall generally) were merged administratively with Walsall rather than Wolverhampton in 1966 simply to shrink the size of Wolverhampton County Borough rather than make it the size it should have been. It's there in black and white in the official paperwork of the time.

And the 25 "Circular" service actually doesn't go in a circle, but sort of spirals outwards until it ends up at i54.

Full of trivial kakh today, me.

New Invention is Walsall, always has been...
