A cracking Easter 'Egg-travaganza' -an 'egg-citing' goal feast to satisfy anyone; but this was a game for the neutrals not one to watch for anyone in sky blue or particularly old gold.

Our entrance to the magnificent city of Manc stadium was of stark contrasts - the view of the ground was one to behold, however the rundown council houses dotted around it weren't - I was expecting the "shameless family" to come out at any time and at one time I could have sworn I saw "that little rock’n’roller Liam" toddling about. From the flock of birds that almost flew into our heads to the still visible xmas door decorations and the "door deliveries" of special brew, it was an unbelievable site.

With no safe pubs close by we decided to go into the ground earlier than normal. Inside was just as impressive as out - Jezzica should have a look at how efficient the pints were pulled. We soon had it confirmed that it was a wise decision to come in early as Stuperstitious Wolf was pulled out of the 47,000 crowd to take part in the pre-game penalty shoot out. We were all taken to the side of the pitch and were able to show off the old gold proudly. Stuperstitious scored a terrific pile driver past the cheating mascot "Moonbeam" who acted like he was on moonshine all day. Wolves won that particular tussle and the Deckshoe, walking back to our seats, could not resist taunting the Mancs by waving our flag at them. The abuse we got was something to saviour. The abuse we got outside the ground afterwards was just as laughable.

Omens or what? - the last time we played the Mancs Stupisticious also took part in the half time penalty shoot out. The signs were good for a first away victory and last chance of a Premiership double.

DJ opted for 5 changes (only 1 enforced) to the team that was so easily swept away by an inept cheating Southampton the previous Saturday. Clyde for Irwin, Okoronkwo for Craddock, Cameron for Rae, Cort for Miller and Newton for Ganea (the Manc announcer woefully messed up his name). Camara was pushed up front to allow Newton to ply his trade on the wing. A 4-4-2 formation to play against the expensively assembled but tactically challenged Keeganites.

The game kicked off with the Wolves fans as ever making all the noise - bemusingly the Mancs were very quiet and they were soon quieter still. Craddock who had been ever present this season was not missed as Okoronkwo was soon showing he should keep his place as he shoved the ball and Fowler out of play in his first piece of premiership action. Fowler was in two minds whether to get up as his face was pressed hard along the line, whilst the Wolves fans cheered a new star. Okoronkwo looked much leaner than his appearance in the league cup all those months ago and was in the thick of the action all afternoon, showing pace, physical strength and aerial ability.

As you would expect from two teams with one not able to defend and the other not wanting to it was 'eggciting' but nervy stuff. Cort soon found some space but tamely shot at ‘England's number 1’ before the lively Camara headed just over the bar from a fierce Newton drive which had been fisted out. Minutes later Fowler was put through on goal and his shot was somehow clawed back from behind the diving Jones who scooped the ball to safety. On 13 mins things changed as Kennedy smashed in a twenty yard thunderbolt (a contender for goal of the month) from a poor Camara corner which had been poorly cleared. A tremendous goal from the ex-city player. Man City 0 Wolves 1.

The game opened up even more and Jones had to have Jeff ‘I'm too fat to referee’ Winter's help when unfairly challenged by the gloved Anelka. The unbelievable happened on 23 mins as Wolves doubled their lead. A fine Naylor cross was met by Cort and the loose ball flicked on by Camara, which bounced off James to fall free for Cort, who seemed to take an age before slotting the ball home. Man City 0 Wolves 2 and Wolves were in "Eggstasy"

However it was short lived and minute later moody gloved mercenary Anelka headed home off the post. Man City 1 Wolves 2 and some nerves started to show. However Wolves continued to press forward and on 32 mins Camara showed some deft skill by clipping the ball over his head and a city defender from behind to fire in a shot past the lost and exposed James. Unfortunately the ball just clipped the outside of the post. If it had gone in it surely would have been goal of the season.

Disaster for Wolves on 39 mins as a harshly given foul on ‘Maca’ saw the Mancs head home from the resulting free kick Man City 2 Wolves 2. A real shame as Wolves really deserved better.

Half time Man City 2 Wolves 2

Irwin replaced Clyde for the start of the second and Wolves attacked from the off, gaining two corners in the space of a few minutes. It was still end to end stuff as both teams looked for that killer goal. Cort's header was heading for the top corner and some how James flung himself up and just managed too parry the ball over the bar, an 'eggcellent' save from an 'eggcellent' cross and header.

Camara was continuing to be a thorn in the side of the city defence; and it was no surprise when racing through he was bundled over by several defenders for a blatant penalty, only our second of the season (and Jeff Winter's first). However looking at the reruns on TV later the initial trip was probably outside of the area. Surprisingly Irwin walked away and up stepped Cameron to take it. Although accurate the drive had no pace and James parried the ball before gobbling up the rebound. It was obvious that the Manc fans were nervous as one of them had to bare his hairy dangle-berried behind to the travelling wolves contingent.

The game still hung in a balance and both teams were consistently going for goal. On 78 mins Ince was upended on the edge of the D for a free kick in perfect Dennis Irwin territory, however he again walked away. Kennedy curled the free kick around the wall for James to push away and the quickest to react was the effervescent Camara who scooped the ball home from an almost impossible angle. Man City 2 Wolves 3 and game on. Camara was booked for celebrating with the 'eggstatic' wolves fans behind the goal.

The nerves were showing and we all kept looking for the board to announce the amount of "over"-time, the board appeared then went back - by this time the 45 mins were well and truly over. The board reappeared to show 3 mins - where that came from I'll never know. there again we were in Manchester so I suppose what's good for the red side is good for the blues. And Wolves were certainly in the blues as in the third minute of overtime and 53 mins on the clock (at precisely 4.58pm) Naylor shoved a Manc over in a stupid place. The free kick was cleared but only to the edge of the area for Wright Phillips to slot home Man City 3 Wolves 3.A cruel end to a highly entertaining game.

I suppose I would have taken a draw before the game but, the manner in which we failed to play for the full 100 minutes of a premiership game was disappointing. With various other games going against us, it doesn't look too good.

However we have 18 points to play for and 6 wins should be enough!!! If we can play like this then there should be no reason why we can't stay up - my heart says yes no brain says no.

This was an impressive performance by all the team so it is a bit unfair that I want to single out two players, both Camara and Okoronkwo had blinders and these two (if it means it) in the coca cola league next season will shine.
