Wolves would be 10 points clear at the top of the league if Rob Edwards had been manager all season

[Wolves @Wolves]

Thinking of Diogo and remembering one of his finest days for the club 💛

Becoming our first player to score a @premierleague hat-trick, seven years ago today.

I actually think there’s grounds for - anyone who has held a season ticket since 2017 should get refunded for this season. #WWFC

[Tim Spiers @TimSpiers]

At least Derby 07/08 and Saints 24/25 were newly promoted teams. Wolves have been in the PL since 2018.

This is managed decline on an unforgivable scale. The protests will only get bigger and louder.

A club in decay, a fanbase without hope.

Whoever’s decision at the ECB it was to release this footage should genuinely be tried at The Hague

Not all doom and gloom yesterday…just noticed my card was declined for my pie. Fuck you Fosun.

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Suicide.

I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.

You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.

Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.

I know 2 men who hung themselves.

One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.

A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.

So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?

A segway for a moment.

I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.

After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..

"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".

Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.

"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.

After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".

Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".

And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.

Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.

If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.

They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".

They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.

If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.

Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.

So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.

You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.

For those who struggle, you're not alone.

WE'VE DONE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! 🎉

[Tom Mayall @Tom_Mayall]

This window just makes the whole Matt Hobbs situation even more bizarre.

I’d love to know the conversations that have took place between the club and VP in regard to bringing in his own director of football. Surely there has to have been some promises made. #WWFC

[Tom Mayall @Tom_Mayall]

@jay_wwfc07 Jackson and Bueno need to start. We miss RAN and Semedo so much going forward, they’re the most positive replacements. Hoever I don’t think is good enough and Wolfe should be playing in a back 3 as a centre half.

[〰️ @SenseiCarl_]

Spanish teams just don’t give a fuck. Real Betis would have a front 3 of Harold Shipman, Raoul Moat and Mick Philpott, with Josef Fritzl in the 10 if they could.

[Cricinfo @cricinfo]

Jofra had his dates mixed up 😅

[Dec @KingsyAVFC]

PSR working exactly how it should so far this summer

West Ham losing Kudus to Spurs
Forest losing Elanga to Newcastle
Forest losing MGW to Spurs
Wolves losing Ait Nuri to City
Wolves losing Cunha to United
Bournemouth losing Kerkez to Liverpool
Brighton losing Pedro to Chelsea

[Tom Mayall @Tom_Mayall]

Terrible news, gave me some of the most wonderful times as a Wolves fan. Devastated.

ITS DIOGO NOT DIEGO MAKES ME HAPPY MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY 🧡🖤🧡🖤

[WG RumblePants @WG_RumblePants]

I think it would probably be fair to say that, by and large, all things considered and all allowances made, the Kookaburra ball experiment hasn’t worked particularly well this year…

[Official Wolves Fans @WeAreWolvesFans]

Cunha gone to United.

Ait Nouri off to Man City.

Semedo off back to Portugal.

Lots of interest in Joao Gomes.

People spreading rumours that Andre’s family is unhappy in England.

[Test Match Special @bbctms]

No shortage of drama at Taunton!

Four days of cricket all came down to one final ball - and Worcestershire held on for a valiant draw.

Every player around the bat. Long live the County Championship! ❤️
