Save the date, the FA Cup Final is 17 May 😀 our Emirates FA Cup Third Round match against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been selected for international broadcast. The match kicks off at mid day on Saturday, January 11th.

Manning presser, https://youtu.be/OlPaZiChjog

Rob Dickie is a doubt. However, KN and MS are both in contention to be included in the squad, https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-team-news-ahead-9846977

Their history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wolverhampton_Wanderers_F.C.

History of previous encounters, https://alwayswolves.co.uk/history-of-wolves-v-bristol-city/

We met them in the fourth round back in February 1973 at Molineux which we lost 1-0 and in February 2019 they beat us 1-0 at Ashton Gate in the fifth round of the FA Cup, highlights: https://youtu.be/sm7pMhXfD3s and here’s a reminder of LJ https://www.skysports.com/football/video/16492/11640404/johnson-praises-bold-bristol

Head to head in all competitions we have won:15, drawn:16 and lost:37

On Monday last they hosted Nottingham Forest and were beaten 3-0, which left them 17th in the table on 16 points.

On Thursday they made Stade de Reims central defender and captain Emmanuel Agbadou their first signing under Vitor Pereira.

The Ivory Coast international, who joins on a four-and-a-half-year deal which contains an additional 12-month option, moves having spent the past two-and-a-half seasons playing consistently in Ligue 1. A dominant defender standing at 6ft 4, but also comfortable in possession, Agbadou began his professional career in Tunisia with Monastir, before turning out 64 times in the Belgian Pro League with Eupen.

It was in France where the now 27-year-old’s career trajectory continued, and having been a regular for the past two seasons, Agbadou took the Reims captaincy responsibilities in the summer, https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/wolves-complete-15m-january-transfer-9845318

They sacked Gary O’Neil last month, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpvzvd7z3vno with Wolves on 9 points and in 19th spot.

On 19 December they appointed former Porto boss Vitor Pereira as their new head coach. The experienced Portuguese joined from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab on an 18-month contract, with Wolves paying about £825,000 in compensation. He won Primeira Liga titles with Porto in 2012 and 2013 and the Greek Super League with Olympiakos in 2015.

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi said: “Vitor is a highly respected and experienced coach who has achieved success across different leagues and will bring a new approach for the test ahead.

This is a challenging moment for the club, and we want to thank Vitor for taking on this responsibility.

We have full confidence in his ability to guide us back on track, alongside the players and staff, and the entire club will be united in supporting him to achieve success.”

They will be without Cunha, https://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2024-2025/wolves-matheus-cunha-ban-ipswich-town-portman-road_sto20067037/story.shtml

The FA Cup is the oldest national football competition in the world with its debut tournament held in 1871/72.

We have (so far) made the final just once. The match was played on 24 April 1909 at Crystal Palace, and was against Manchester United we were both in the First Division. Manchester United won by a single goal, scored by Sandy Turnbull midway through the first half. This was the first of Manchester United's FA Cup final wins, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909_FA_Cup_final

Wolves reached their first final in the competition in the 1888/89 season. The club then secured their first of four trophies in Wolves’ history by edging Everton in the final in 1892/93.

Wolves’ FA Cup Final wins

1892/93 (beat Everton 1-0 in the final) the final was played at Fallowfield, Manchester.

1907/08 (beat Newcastle United 3-1 in the final)

1948/49 (beat Leicester City 3-1 in the final) highlights: https://youtu.be/yiow6xidrbo

1959/60 (beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 in the final) highlights: https://youtu.be/ahYr8DwWpkU

Our first game at AG under floodlights was against Wolves on 20 January 1953, Wolves won 4-1, Ron Stockin scored a hat trick.

In 2021 Almost 70 years since becoming a First Division winner with Wolves, former inside forward Ron Stockin was finally rewarded with a medal. Historically in the EFL, league winners were required to play 14 games across the season to earn a medal, but in March 2021 that changed to five, seeing 26 former players become eligible. One individual effected was Wolves’ Stockin, who was rewarded for his efforts retrospectively with a medal, having played six times in the club’s First Division success of 1953/54. At the time, aged 90, Stockin was still based in the West Midlands and was presented with his medal at his home at Richmond Court Nursing Home. He died in July 2024.

The original set of floodlights erected in 1953 were later sold to Burton Albion and a new set were officially switched on in 1965 again versus Wolverhampton Wanderers, the same club which provided the opposition for the 1953 switch-on. It was a Division 2 league game that we lost 1-0. The crowd was 36,184.

The pylons to the ones switched on in 1965 were subsequently given to Wigan Athletic (Springfield Park) in 1992 when the four corner pylons were removed and the replacement lamps  were fitted along the front of the Dolman and Williams roof.

Referee: Robert Jones

Assistant referees: Ian Hussin and Neil Davies

Fourth official: Stephen Martin

Well known fans

TV presenter Suzi Perry and the singer Beverley Knight MBE are also fans of the club, as is Jacqui Oatley MBE, Wolves Foundation Ambassador and the first woman to commentate on a game for BBC’s Match of the Day.

Tennis player Andy Murray and boxer Mike Tyson have also been shown wearing the club’s black and gold shirt, while almost certainly, the first nationally-known fan of Wolves was composer Sir Edward Elgar.

Robert Plant the lead singer and lyricist of rock band Led Zeppelin. Plant had been taken by his dad to watch his local Club, Wolves. He recorded an interview with his local paper, the Express and Star, ‘honest Billy Wright waved at me and I was hooked from that moment, Wright was a local hero, but he was more than that too. He played for Wolves all his club career in the 1940s and 50s and was the first footballer in the world to win 100 international caps, in age when England didn’t play anything like as many games as now. He was also the David Beckham of his time, not for taking stunning free kicks or scoring from his own half, but for marrying a pop-star, he married Joy Beverley of the popular singing trio the Beverly Sisters and they were together for 36 years before Billy died of cancer in 1994.

Billy Wright was a CBE and so too is Robert Plant, in 2014 Wolves  invited him to be a vice- president. He combined two of his great loves when he got on stage at the clubs end of season award tonight a few years later and with trademark long locks flowing belted out whole lotta love.

In an interview with the music magazine ‘Record Collector’ Plant admitted that his love of football played havoc with his marriage. For instance, it took him three days to get home to the Midlands from Wembley after Wolves won the 1974 league cup final, he said in the piece, ‘it’s the love of something where I don’t have to be explaining myself or justifying it. I’m right in the middle of it all and I love it to death and it’s right and it’s wrong and it’s banal, it’s a panacea for me.’

Played for both

George Showell, Scott Golbourne, Daniel Bentley, who had this to say on his move https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dan-bentley-opens-up-over-9844148?utm_source=bristol_live_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=auto_bcfc_newsletter&utm_content=&utm_term=&ruid=eda3a0ce-34ec-4a85-96cd-ae68727a6b80&hx=9237312c51b80bc863a770c1c2c371fff401fed0e48c84dbfa79b052e6777a1f

Pat Mountain is also linked to both clubs, https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2025/01/10/pat-mountain-the-goalkeeping-coach-who-made-an-impact-at-wolves-and-bristol-city/

Finally, did you know that Wolverhampton is the least green city in the UK? This is because the Black Country city has the joint lowest score for the quality of its green space and parks (50.00), the second highest rating for air pollution (68.75) alongside the limited number of walking trails (26) and the total number of parks (18) for its population.

Hugh McIlmoyle Is another who played for Wolves and City (in the 60s). I thought he was successful at City but after checking on Wiki he only played 20 games for City scoring 4 goals. (My excuse is it was approx 60 years ago and I’m allowed to be a bit forgetful about things that happened that long ago). Unfortunately he’s another ex-footballer who is now suffering from Alzheimer’s

I don't think I'll ever fully recover from that game in December 2017 as LJ's storming run came to a twisted end. Agh!

So, even now, a win against them would be bloody lovely.

I think we'll win 2-1.

Scored on his debut though v Hull a typical towering header, he was mustard in the air .Unfortunately (according to rumour/ledgend) blotted his copybook and had to be sold !  John Lennon lookie-likee .

Hopefully the cliche of foreign managers having little respect for the tradition of the FA cup will kick in, and they’ll play a weakened side.  If they do, I fancy us to turn them over. 
 

1-0 City.  A Mehmeti curler.

Unfortunately I can’t make this game due to the early kick off time. Hopefully we’ll beat them. We’ve had some horrible results against them that seem to stick in my mind more than our wins, so one of those teams I hold a grudge against.

It`s the commentary game on 5live from 11 am so no need to listen via the BBC online page if you don`t want to.

5Live is Sky channel 0105

Blimey you're right. Surprised by that - some good exposure for us, let's hope we can put a performance in.

Before I tell you how to log in again, can you prove you’re not a bot? Just send me your bank details, your national insurance number and your mother’s maiden name and I’ll give you the info

Always think these type of matches are much more difficult to call than normal, simply down to how ‘strong’ each side goes with the team they put out. My guess is they will make a fair few more changes than us, but we will see!

Do you have a vpn on, or are you coming from shared ip, like a corporate network?

When I'm at home games  I get this sort of issue trying to log on to otib via the public WiFi.

Can't wait for this game, got a good feeling we will do well. Unfortunately I'll have to go the dodgy stream route as I'll just be finishing my Nightshift at 5am ( my local time) then have to watch the first half on the bus ride back to my work camp. Have a great time all of you who are going to the match, make enough noise for me to hear over here in Canada. COYR!

Thanks @Jerseybean for a superb intro for this match

I was fortunate to have been at both of the initial floodlight matches which both left me with good memories of them. I was also at Molyneux for the Boxing Day game the day before the second set of lights were used.

One other bit of history is that we last won a match away to Wolves in 1931. Will I be there when we do win? Doubtful!

We met them in the fourth round back in February 1973 at Molineux which we lost 1-0 and in February 2019 they beat us 1-0 at Ashton Gate in the fifth round of the FA Cup, highlights: https://youtu.be/sm7pMhXfD3s and here’s a reminder of LJ https://www.skysports.com/football/video/16492/11640404/johnson-praises-bold-bristol

Head to head in all competitions we have won:15, drawn:16 and lost:37

On Monday last they hosted Nottingham Forest and were beaten 3-0, which left them 17th in the table on 16 points.

On Thursday they made Stade de Reims central defender and captain Emmanuel Agbadou their first signing under Vitor Pereira.

The Ivory Coast international, who joins on a four-and-a-half-year deal which contains an additional 12-month option, moves having spent the past two-and-a-half seasons playing consistently in Ligue 1.

They sacked Gary O’Neil last month, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpvzvd7z3vno with Wolves on 9 points and in 19th spot.

On 19 December they appointed former Porto boss Vitor Pereira as their new head coach. The experienced Portuguese joined from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab on an 18-month contract, with Wolves paying about £825,000 in compensation. He won Primeira Liga titles with Porto in 2012 and 2013 and the Greek Super League with Olympiakos in 2015.

The FA Cup is the oldest national football competition in the world with its debut tournament held in 1871/72.

We have (so far) made the final just once. The match was played on 24 April 1909 at Crystal Palace, and was against Manchester United we were both in the First Division. Manchester United won by a single goal, scored by Sandy Turnbull midway through the first half. This was the first of Manchester United's FA Cup final wins, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1909_FA_Cup_final

Wolves reached their first final in the competition in the 1888/89 season. The club then secured their first of four trophies in Wolves’ history by edging Everton in the final in 1892/93.

Wolves’ FA Cup Final wins

1892/93 (beat Everton 1-0 in the final) the final was played at Fallowfield, Manchester.

1907/08 (beat Newcastle United 3-1 in the final)

1948/49 (beat Leicester City 3-1 in the final) highlights: https://youtu.be/yiow6xidrbo

1959/60 (beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0 in the final) highlights: https://youtu.be/ahYr8DwWpkU

Our first game at AG under floodlights was against Wolves on 20 January 1953, Wolves won 4-1, Ron Stockin scored a hat trick.

In 2021 Almost 70 years since becoming a First Division winner with Wolves, former inside forward Ron Stockin was finally rewarded with a medal. Historically in the EFL, league winners were required to play 14 games across the season to earn a medal, but in March 2021 that changed to five, seeing 26 former players become eligible. One individual effected was Wolves’ Stockin, who was rewarded for his efforts retrospectively with a medal, having played six times in the club’s First Division success of 1953/54. At the time, aged 90, Stockin was still based in the West Midlands and was presented with his medal at his home at Richmond Court Nursing Home. He died in July 2024.

The original set of floodlights erected in 1953 were later sold to Burton Albion and a new set were officially switched on in 1965 again versus Wolverhampton Wanderers, the same club which provided the opposition for the 1953 switch-on. It was a Division 2 league game that we lost 1-0. The crowd was 36,184.

The pylons to the ones switched on in 1965 were subsequently given to Wigan Athletic (Springfield Park) in 1992 when the four corner pylons were removed and the replacement lamps  were fitted along the front of the Dolman and Williams roof.

Finally, did you know that Wolverhampton is the least green city in the UK? This is because the Black Country city has the joint lowest score for the quality of its green space and parks (50.00), the second highest rating for air pollution (68.75) alongside the limited number of walking trails (26) and the total number of parks (18) for its population.

Lovely morning here in BS3.
Hoping Bell gets a run today and repeats his cup goal scoring exploits of a couple of seasons ago .
Bell ends Wolves cup dreams?! 

Like so many I have a profound dislike of Wolves magnified by that game in late 2017 that seemed so pivotal. 
Would enjoy a win today massively. If we start welll the big crowd could get us going - even with the stupid KO time.

I was at that game. As you say a towering header, from a corner iirc. Head and shoulders above everyone else. I thought we had signed a real ace goal scorer  at that stage. but as you say didn't work out.

Thanks @Jerseybean for a superb intro for this match

I was fortunate to have been at both of the initial floodlight matches which both left me with good memories of them. I was also at Molyneux for the Boxing Day game the day before the second set of lights were used.

One other bit of history is that we last won a match away to Wolves in 1931. Will I be there when we do win? Doubtful!

I was as well, was the Boxing day one where it was so cold they were carrying some people out on stretchers who were overcome with it. I went up with a few friends in my works Morris Minor van, one in the front, the rest in the back of the van. Those were the days!

I was at that game. As you say a towering header, from a corner iirc. Head and shoulders above everyone else. I thought we had signed a real ace goal scorer  at that stage. but as you say didn't work out.

As I remember it, he was head and shoulders above the crossbar, a most prodigeous leap !

Super

This is a big game for me due to knowing so many Wolves fans who are full of it! I think I dislike Wolves more than the Gas. Let’s beat them! 

You can't lose either way then.
