Championship - Wolves down sorry Saints

Eurosport - Fri, 10 Apr 17:11:00 2009

Wolves extended their lead at the top of the Championship with a comfortable 3-0 win over struggling Southampton at a rain-sodden Molineux.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Championship Wolves players mob David Jones - 0

Sam Vokes, Jody Craddock and David Jones were on target within the opening 19 mintues as Wolves took a big step towards sealing automatic promotion.

Victory saw the leaders move five points clear of second-placed Birmingham, who play at Charlton on Saturday.

Wales international Vokes, in the side in the absence of the injured Sylvain Ebanks-Blake and Chris Iwelumo, headed the hosts into the lead from a corner after just 39 seconds.

Skipper Craddock then made it two in the sixth minute, again with a header, only this time the chance came from a short-corner.

It got even worse for the visitors in the 19th minute when David Edwards was upended in the box by a poor Marek Saganowski challenge.

Jones stepped up to blast the resulting penalty kick past Kelvin Davis and effectively seal all three points before even 20 minutes were on the clock.

Southampton remain second-bottom of the table, two points adrift of safety.

  2. Its interesting looking at the comments, Patriciajlf is­ a Spurs fan, Rock and Roll, just an idiot not a fan­ thats Spurs or anybody could be proud off. Ive been a­ Saints fan all my life, got loads of mates that are­ Pompey Fans and mates that are Spurs fans, there will­ always be "brain deads" in every walk of­ life, feel sorry for him, must be hard being that dim!­ Take a leaf from Rugby, can you see Rock n Roll being­ allowed in any Rugby Club?

  3. I would like to say that this dock strike myth is­ wrong.
    Southampton was the only major port to support­ the miners strike.
    Southampton Itchen was the only­ labour seat south of London during the Thatcher­ reign.
    Portsmouth is a naval dockyard, not merchant and­ never supported anything in the rights of the working­ class, only themselves

  4. Pathetic - but you can't expect boys to do a­ mans job(especially with all the other problems at the­ club.) Good luck against Crystal Palace.

  9. rock and roll maybe the places you mentioned is the­ places you looked to find who youe dad is ,, i think it­ was a pompey fan or fans on a away game that you come­ from maybe a bit from the 30 fans who liked your mum­ you sick person

  10. You lowlife portscummer tramps don't know a­ handball from a handj0b.

  11. You are a bunch of inbred tramps, with estates laden­ with the likes of Karen Matthews and worse.....You are­ the welfare capital of Britain and are everything that­ is wrong with England today.

    From ROCK AND ROLL, on Sat 11 Apr 1:23PM

  12. well said about this idiot rock and roll , we all can­ have jokes about other teams but this thing is an­ insult to life and i blame ym for letting him still­ spout such hate at portsmouth , yes we have banter with­ saints and other clubs but this is just a total­ braindead human ,, and you spurs or saints fans need­ not say sorry as we at pompey understand that this is­ not a human just a waste of life so all keep giving­ him stick cheers

    From Chris, on Sat 11 Apr 12:46PM

  13. United!!:
    Any sport you care to name. All life in the­ US is inundated (your word). I worked there for 2­ years.
    Secondly, no confusion or hypocrisy (How so -­ hypocrisy is criticising somebody for something you do­ yourself - What?) As to not docking the points; that is­ going to invite multiple law suits. Docking them­ invites only one, from Southampton. Therefore less­ legal actions. Clear?

    From ftumch2001, on Sat 11 Apr 9:54AM

  14. Uh, good job Wolves, but ftumch2001's comment­ confuses me. Number one, what aspect of US sports are­ you actually suggesting is hopelessly inundated with­ lawyers? Secondly, do you realize that you just called­ for lawyers to be KEPT AWAY from football, while­ simultaneously asking for a points penalty (a scenario­ which clearly calls for many lawyers, multiple­ hearings, appeals, etc. AD NAUSEUM)? This, clearly, is­ confusion or hypocrisy on your part.

    At any rate, as I­ said, great job Wolves! You're almost there, and­ I'll be honored to have United play you next year! ­ COME ON!!

    From United!!, on Sat 11 Apr 7:25AM

  15. All acedemic now. Dock them 10 points next season for­ trying to flout the rules and bringing the game into­ disrepute. Lawyers have no place in football. This­ isn't the US.

    From sam.andrews91, on Fri 10 Apr 9:47PM

  20. I am a Spurs fan and would like to say fans like ROCK­ AND ROLL we could certainly do without as he or she is­ the epitome of what is wrong in football. Football is­ supposed to be a sport played by sportsmen and­ supported by fans who enjoy the game and do not spew­ out idiotic insults which show him for what he­ obviously is and definately someone Spurs should be­ ashamed of. I apologize on his behalf.
