A bulging net.

I don't take much interest in football anymore - not since it gave up any pretence of being a sport, and became just a money game - but to the extent that I do follow a team, then it's my local team, Wolverhampton Wanderers. It's hard to believe that back in the 50's Wolves and their near neighbours and deadly rivals West Bromwich Albion were the top teams in the land. Since then, I've followed Wolves through thick and (mainly) thin. This season, they are once again underperforming, with no realistic chance of doing any better than maybe scraping into the play-offs. But on Wednesday night they booked their place in footballing history by becoming the first team in English football to score 7,000 league goals, so let's hear it - Up The Wolves!!!
