Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 33: Shield of dreams | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! I hope you all had an egg-cellent Easter, and enjoyed last week’s season nine finale, where despite Nick’s final day permutations maths letting him down, his Portuguese Wolves were finally crowned Premiership champions! Can they build on their title success? Here’s Nick

The World Cup squads are announced, and Fergie names four of the pack, but surprisingly there are no seats on the plane for Coelho or Amaral despite scoring 26 goals each this season…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 32: Double or nothing | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and Good Friday to you. Welcome to the season 9 finale of Nick’s Portuguese odyssey with Wolves, who are sitting pretty in the league and still in the FA Cup. Can they secure at least one trophy, or even the double? Or will it be more heartbreak? Over to Nick…

Here’s a look at the table with 15 games to go. Leicester and Arsenal sit top, but we’re only a point behind, and still have to play them both, so we’ll at least have a say in where the title goes (hopefully Molineux). Game on…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 31: Villa killer | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome back to Molineux, where a tactical tweak that has seen Nick’s Wolves make a great start to season 9. Can they keep it up? Or does disappointment lie ahead as per? Here’s Nick with the latest…

Here’s the current state of affairs. It seems that getting relegated 3 seasons ago has given Arsenal the chance to rebuild, and they lead the way after 12 games. We’re not far behind though, and are playing well, so hopefully we can keep pace with them. Let’s f*cking go…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 30: The Futre’s bright | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome back to Molineux for season 9 with Nick and his Portuguese pack of Wolves, who last week managed to salvage a 4th place finish at the end of what was a mostly miserable campaign, which almost cost Nick his job at one point. Will this season be any different? Here’s Nick…

Here’s how the pack is looking. Since adding ageing ballers Luis Figo and Rui Costa to the ranks halfway through last season, no more big names want to join us, so I’ve once again been forced to raid the summer regen bank.

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 29: On the Fidal | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome back to Molineux, which isn’t a nice place to be at the minute after Wolves endured their worst run to date last week, going 10 games without a win, resulting in the Board considering Nick’s future. Can they turn it around with 12 games of the season to go? Here’s Nick…

Here’s a quick glance at the table before we begin. We’re still 8th, so although the title is probably too much to ask, we can still finish in the European spots and salvage something from a season that started so well before it turned ugly. Time to stand up and be counted…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 28: National treasures | @NTR9798

Bom Dia and happy Red Nose Day to you! It’s Friday, and what better way to round the week off than by catching up with Nick and his Wolves from Portugal. They’ve made a fantastic start to season eight, but have they peaked too soon? Here’s the Molineux Akela himself with the latest…

I couldn’t really have asked for much more last week if I’m honest, but as we’ve seen time and time again during 28 years of playing this beloved game, your good form can instantly turn on its head, so I just pray we can keep it up. Let’s f*cking go…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 27: Ama-wow! | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome to season eight with Nick and his Portuguese pack of Wolves. Their four seasons in the Premiership have been a mixed bag so far, but will this be the season where they finally find some badly-needed consistency? Over to Nick…

Before we begin, here’s a reminder of how the squad is looking. José Dominguez was the marquee summer signing for a whopping £62k, Mario Raul came in from Barcelona, and Zezinho, Eduardo, Mozer, Secretario and Hugo are all regens who cost nothing…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 26: Coel-den boot | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome to the season seven finale with Nick and his Wolves of the Portuguese variety. Their form has been up and down more than Ruben Amorim’s heart rate lately, but can they get it together for the remaining nine games to mount a title challenge? Over to Nick…

To be in fourth place is quite remarkable considering some of the results we’ve had so far. It’s all about the draws really, there have been far too many of them. If we’d won just half of them, we’d now be top of the table…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 25: Bianconeri battle | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! and welcome. It’s time once again to visit Molineux, where after a frustrating start to season six, Nick and his Portuguese Wolves have finally started to pick up some form. Can they keep up the good work with a Champions League quarter final against a European heavyweight looming?

We’re 8th at the halfway point of the season. Goals were a problem at the start, but we’ve finally got our act together in that department and the results have come with it. We’re only 4 points off the top, so it’s still very much all to play for. Let’s see where this week takes us…

Portuguese Men o’ Wolves – Part 24: The resurrection | @NTR9798

Bom Dia! It’s that time of the week again, so let’s check in with Nick, who has just about calmed down after a frustrating time last week. Can he and his Portugueezers bounce back after a less than impressive recent run of results? Here’s Nick with the latest…

The league table isn’t looking great, but things aren’t as bad as they seem because we have a game in hand, and if we can win that, it’ll take us up to joint 3rd place, so let’s try and do just that to start this week as we mean to go on…
