High Praise from Mourinho ; Testament of the Wolves Brilliance and Team Effort

What a Cracker of a Game ! Sad Wolves Lost but so Proud of their Efforts and Talent.

Wolves 4 Bestikas 0

A masterclass in controlling play, with fine wing form from Pedro Neto, Winback Reuben Vinagre and clinical finishing from Diogo Jota (hat- trick) and  Leander Dendoncker.

Of their new boys, Taylor Perry, Kilman, Burr, and Otosowi impressed tremendously. 

Wolves, the future looks very brght. !

In the High Pressure World of KPop, a princess says good bye. Goo Hara RIP

Gone at 28  years old ; still a child 

The world of KPop is unrelenting ; there is tremendous stress and pressure for the starlets to dance, sing and appear to be everyone's favourite poster girl or boy. Ever since Psy made worldwide headlines with "Gangnam Style", the world has been fascinated by the multitude of groups from Korea (SNSD,Girls Generation, Shinee, BTS, Kara, Skarf and 2NE1 just to name a few) who make dancing and the Korean language and culture so alluring

Alone and in a fishbowl, Hara took her own life.

Goo Hara took her own life on 24th Nov 2019, just 1 month after her best Unni Sulli did the same thing at only 25 years of age. After Kara disbanded in 2016, Hara was trying to make a solo comeback in Japan and was recently there from 14 - 19 November.

The stress of being constantly watched, having no personal life, and everything controlled in an almost regimental  manner must have driven her to despair. She filed a police report against her abusive hairdresser boyfriend last year but I think, she was just so lonely after her best friend Sulli died. The relentless KPop system and company management styles needs to further looked into and better treatment of the boys and girls is a must. 

Their dance hits Mister, Step and Mamma Mia are really world class, and they even came to Singapore in 2015 to perform as I recall.

Rest in Peace, Hara. You will be missed. 

Latest European Match Wolves 1 Slovan Bratislava 0

The last game at Molineux saw Wolves beat Slovan Bratislava 1 - 0 thanks to a great assist from Traore and beautiful header from Raul Jiminez. 

They are in Europe, 5th in the Premier League. Well I am dreaming aren't I ?? 

Another win on the road, this time against Bournemouth. Go Wolves !

This is AFC Bournemouth TV channel, so the commentary is strictly non biased. I must say the Wolves team are riding high. Keep humble, keep hard working, pushing all areas and don't slip up.

We have 2 - 3 injuries to key players such as Wily Boly (ankle), Pedro Neto and Ryan Bennett. However, the squad now seem to have enough depth that even England Under 21 Morgan Gibbs White has trouble being chosen for the starting inne up.

Amongst all the new players (new signings, U23), only Max Kilmann and Reuben Vinagre truly impress. So the starting 11 are chosen from these top 16. I really hope they have enough in depth quality.

Keepers 
Patricio (Portugal No. 1, but prone to soft goals from time to time)
Ruddy (Very strong cover to Rui)

Defenders and WingBacks
Reuben Vinagre (hard man, superb off the ball running)
Ryan Benett (hard man with long throws)
Wily Boly (injured)
Romain Saiss (Moroccan international superb as a cover)
Leander Dendoncker (Belgian international and also superb as a right back)
Conor Coady (Mr. Captain Fantastic, England player but no call up )
Jesus Vallejeo (not good enough) 
Max Kilman (impressive youngster)

Midfielders
Reuben Neves (playing hot and cold, needs more consistency)
Joao Moutinho (My word, 34 years of age, fantastic buy from AM)
Matt Doherty (superb wingback)
Jonny Otto (superb right wingback)
Morgan Gibbs White (rarely started of late)
Taylor Perry (getting there)
  
Strikers
Raul Jiminez (on form)
Diogo Jota (hungry as anything)
Adama Traore (unplayable and unstoppable on his day ; takes 3 defenders on and wins)
Patrick Cutrone (so so, needs to up his game)
Pedro Neto (getting strong, needs to be less selfish)




Comments from the Bournemouth fans   "Wolves are so well drilled". Absolutely. Everything works like clockwork, everyone covers for everyone else. 

They are on a purple patch.

Next week Braga away  1 - 1 my prediction

Saturday 30th Nov.  Wolves 3 : Sheffield Utd 0.

  

Happy Birthday to my Dad Geoffrey ; You would have been 100 Years Old Today

My father Geoffrey Abisheganaden was born on 23rd Nov 1919. He was a talented,handsome, yet humble man. He was God fearing and a loving father to his 2 naughty boys John and I. He passed away peacefully at the age of (almost) 91 on 20 September 2010, 9 years. ago. 

I would like to wish him Happy Birthday (23rd Nov 2019) in heaven, or wherever he is and I love him very much. We are both blessed with his temperament, kindness and diligence. I will leave this post with as many photographs below to show the side of the man whom I called Papa.  

Mum and Papa on their Wedding Day. He looked so handsome and she was pretty. 

My Papa  as I remember him well 

A young lawyer he looked dashing
