Nervy start for Wolves in the early going.
Leicester 1-0 up on Southampton. Dickov from the penalty spot.

Wolves are the only promoted team not winning/won. I have to say, I'm not that disappointed Amoruso scored though, cause he's on my Fantasy Football team!;)

I have to confess that I have Tugay on mine, but Wolves have not been able to get anything going offensively thus far.

Update: Campbell sent off for Arsenal v. Everton; still 0-0
GOAL! Thompson makes it 2-0 :(

2-0 Rovers. Alan Thompson's goal I think. I have Tugay on mine as well.

That is David Thompson. Alan Thompson scored for Celtic, today.
Not many positives for Wolves except for Murray at this point.

Yellow card on David Thompson.
Can Wolves get one before halftime?

Ah, yes. I was pretty sure the scorer was a Thompson, and Alan came to mind.
Update: Arsenal and Man Utd. both lead 1-0.
Still 2-0 to Blackburn, 44th minute.

Halftime: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Wolves
Wolves were clearly more productive in the last 15 minutes, but that will not make up for the first 30 as Wolves trail by two. If Wolves can get off to a good start in the second half, then they may have a chance of getting back in this one.
