On West Ham he said “West Ham are a classy side who finished ninth in the Premier League last season and it is a really difficult start for us. We are playing against a good side but getting off to a good start would be a boost. To get a win early would be really vital. It would be a monkey off your back straight away.”
New signing Michael Mancienne said on the official web site, www.wolves.co.uk "The first priority for Wolves is to stay in the Premier League, to do that we have to be solid as a team and if we can get a couple of wins under our belt early on that will get us going. We need to get the fans behind us tomorrow and I'm sure they will
Stephen Ward said "Since I've been a kid it's been an ambition to play in the Premier League, like every lad I suppose, If you ask anyone at the club who hasn't played at this level before then I think they'd agree that it's a dream come true.
Wolves no.9 Sylvan Ebanks Blake was reported to have said in the times “Last season was the best season of my life, with the promotion to top it all off, and finishing top scorer. But it’s a different ball game in the Premier League. You're playing against better players and teams keep the ball for longer periods. The hardest thing in football is to make good decisions when you are in possession.”
I have done a separate story for any West Ham comments as their gaffer is in cloud cuckoo land with some of his comments
