Kieran Trippier: to join Wolves on a free (various)


Recommended Posts

That's a smart move by Wolves. If you need a culture reset in the dressing room Trippier is the guy to do that.

 

The fact they've also kept Andre is another good sign. They've got a lot to figure out with loan players returning etc, but I think they should still be a favorite to come up.

I quite like Molyneux's oldschool feel meself :)  Their strip is their strip, and pyros and LEDs are just football 2026.  I don't know that any of these things are worthy of hate directed specifically at Wolverhampton Wanderers

Their (well, the city of Wolverhampton as a whole) treatment of visiting fans belongs in the 1980’s.

Think there’s only Man City and Wolves with jumbo LED’s

 

The strip is awful. Not the colour of their strip. Their actual strip. Fucking SUDU man, who even are they.

 

They were early doors with the pyro, opening the door for the horrors that have followed.

 

Fuck Wolves.

I don't get this view of Trippier, seems lkke a bit of a rewriting of history. Overall he seems to have had a destabilising effect on the squad with his off the pitch 'activities', which others allegedly joined in with, and on the pitch he often went missing and cost us goals.

:lol: wey fair enough.  I personally find them pretty inoffensive and largely unexceptional in the grand scheme of things, feels like hating Crewe Alexandra or Peterborough

You can probably get a pre-match pint in Crewe or Peterborough though.

Yeah, I couldn't in Luton either but I didn't hate Luton Town for picking Kenilworth Road as a venue because they didn't foresee that wasn't going to have any pubs nearby in 2024 :lol: I mean, if folk want to hate Wolves then that's fine of course, I just feel like it's a strong emotion to waste on such a benign and insipid club :lol:

Like everywhere, you go once and it’s a bit novel, not being able to get a pint is an inconvenience, but you gloss over it with the novelty factor.

 

Once they hang around in the same league for a bit, familiarity breeds contempt, and you grow to despise the fact you can’t get a pint…

They were once sponsored by Doritos and one of their pre-match fireworks once shot someone in the stadium before a match against us.

 

For those 2 things, they're firmly in the 'ach, they're harmless' category.

It was more of a, if I have any reason to hate them then I won't cos Tripps plays for them, type thing. When he stops playing for them, that's a different matter mind [emoji38]

I think that's a more recent development likely caused by separating from his wife. 

 

He's likely still dealing with some of that, but a change of scenery and a drop in quality should allow him to be closer to the Trippier that joined us.

The Vermont stuff happened in 2023 and coincided with his and the rest of the team's form going to shit that season, and he's been pretty inconsistent ever since

Nah this post is a re-writing of history. He was clearly for the most part a massive positive influence on the club off the park and a calming influence on it when he played. 

 

His life off the pitch undoubtedly impacted his form in 23/24 (Everton away onwards) but the biggest marker of his overall decline has simply been physical due the inevitable sands of time catching up with him. And despite that he still pulled through to deliver big in the cup win.

 

Whether he's a good signing for Wolves or not is a completely other question.

Peterborough is one of the worst places in the country.  At least wolves you’re not far from somewhere better. 

 

Indeed, plenty of high end restaurants and shops in Birmingham.

 

Peterborough you're surrounded by people with facial tattoos, visible scars, twelve fingers, eyes so close together the right eye is in the left socket, and the left eye in the right, and family trees that look like stumps.

 

On the bright side, if you find yourself in a passport renewal emergency, you're sorted.
