Match23 Oct 2032

Floriana run riot against Sliema Wanderers

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

A brace, and Mustapha Jah takes the afternoon — 9.27

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mustapha Jah provided it, and the 9.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match25 Oct 2032

Floriana are top

25 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Match23 Oct 2032

Nobody wants to play Floriana right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad25 Oct 2032

Words exchanged at Floriana

Robert Murić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

Nobody could get near Paul Mbong

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad25 Oct 2032

A move Christopher Hall would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Christopher Hall is living that version at Floriana, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad25 Oct 2032

A row about effort at Floriana

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gonzalo Gamarra was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

Melvin Koliqi was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.85. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The Wolverhampton Gazette

7 Jul 2031
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad7 Jul 2031

52 days out for Zach Jeacock after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Wolverhampton will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market7 Jul 2031

Alfie White agrees terms with Mattersburg

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Wolverhampton people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market7 Jul 2031

Mike Trésor asks to leave Wolverhampton

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom7 Jul 2031

Pressure builds in the Wolverhampton boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The dugout7 Jul 2031

Mathis Servais says Wolverhampton went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market7 Jul 2031

Anthony Elanga wants more than Wolverhampton are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Market7 Jul 2031

Wolverhampton say no — this time

The offer from West Bromwich Albion for Valgeir Valgeirsson was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad7 Jul 2031

A falling-out at Wolverhampton

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Jul 2031

A row about effort at Wolverhampton

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ollie Watkins was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
