Wolves On The Tweet

‘Charlie’s Chippy’, ‘Confused with Wawrick’ – Many Wolves fans joke about ‘sightseeing’ comment

|

Wolves might be teetering with Champions League qualification and in the knockout stages of the Europa League, but plenty of fans aren’t taking themselves too seriously just yet. At least not in the geographical sense.

With the club gearing up for what is arguably their biggest game this Millenium against Espanyol in the final 32 of the Europa League, fans haven’t let their nerves taken over their humour, as they poked fun at some comments made by the opposition’s manager.

Express and Star journalist Joe Edwards tweeted about Abelardo’s comments for the upcoming match, with him stating that, despite them being bottom of La Liga, they are not making the trip to Wolverhampton for “sightseeing or as tourists”.

It seems like the idea of a club from Barcelona coming to Wolverhampton to see the sights is an amusing one to a lot of the fanbase – as you can tell from the responses below.

Hilariously, plenty of fans began to suggest areas of the city that they could be sightseeing, in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

One fan suggested that Moon Under Water and Charlie’s Chippy are certainties, while another joked that he may have gotten confused with Warwick Castle.

Here are some of the replies…

By the time 8pm comes around, that laughter may turn to anxiety, as the club looks to make the most of their home advantage before travelling to Barcelona in a week’s time.

Considering Wolves are eighth in the Premier League and Espanyol are rooted to the bottom of La Liga, they are understandably favourites, but only time will tell as to whether they can live up to that expectation.
