“Sack the bastard.

Hang him. That hanging bastard.

Scoop out his bastard heart with a bastard spoon, then put it in a bastard blender, add some bastard oregano and bastard paprika and blend the bastard thing. Then feed the bastard his own nicely bastardly seasoned heart.

He’s a bastard!

The bastard!”

The above seems to be the common(ish) thought of some Wolves fans. The ones calling for Mick’s head.

The ones I called morons and try to ignore.

Try to…

But in this digital age where you can easily express your own opinions and have complete strangers read them (yes, I realise the irony of this sentence) it’s hard not to be washed up into their sea of spewing shit. An ocean filled with opinions which are badly thought out and constructed as a result of basing all their football opinions on writings of The Sun, or at best, Henry Winter.

Now I’m the first person to tell people I’m not an expert in football. Far from it. However I can clearly see that the majority of what these ‘fans’ are saying is absolute balls.

Yes, losing 5 games in a row is poor form, but that’s what it is. Poor form. It’s understandable, confidence is low after QPR, you could see that in Jarvis’s performance against West Brom. You can see it in Johnson’s sudden lack of organisational skills.

These things can however be sorted.

What won’t help to get it fixed is when ‘fans’ decide to boo/sarcastically cheer the player who took a pay cut so he could join us. A player who has worn our captain’s armband and our shirt for a years and has been proud to do so. Granted, he wasn’t playing well, but do you think he’s that big of an idiot to not know that already?

And as for Mick…well…I’m worried that we are in a situation where we actually have to defend him.

Aside from the incredible job he has done over the past 5 years, this is his third season in the Premiership with a predominantly Championship side.

Three years ago would anybody have thought that Matt Jarvis would have played for England, and Karl Henry would have also been considered by Capello?

That Kevin Doyle would be looked at by Arsenal (even if these were rumours)?

That Stephen Ward would be the answer to our left back problems?

All of this points to the sterling job that Mick has done.

For people to organise a strike before the game calling for his head? It almost makes me ashamed to be a Wolves fan.

But in a way, it’s people like this that will spur Mick and the team on. They will want to prove that they do merit a place in the Premiership, that on our day we can play and we can be difficult to beat.

Yes, I am worried about the pace of our defence against Sinclair, Dyer and Graham.

Yes I am concerned that Mick may make the change from 4-5-1 to 4-4-2 when it was looking effective like he did on Sunday.

But won’t all this be forgotten if they put in the performance that we all want? Us football fans are fickle after all.

And if that happens then I guess we would have to thank the boo boys. For their motivational skills, for being real fans.

Well you lot can. I’m not.

I’m going to thank Mick.

Mick the bastard.
