SNOW may lie on the ground and Santa may have done his 'rounds for another year, but for Wolves it's a case of "same old". Another poor performance, another round of boo's and another Christmas Hangover.

It was 1997 when Wolves last won on a Boxing Day so the fact that Wolves again failed to win for new boss Glenn Hoddle should come as no surprise.

The Christmas Turkey's had been consumed and alcohol will have been drunk like it's going out of fashion. The effects of the alcohol consumed on Christmas day would have left many fans with sore heads, add to that the early kick off and the fact that Wolves collapsed in the second half, it may come as no surprise that the fans chanted "You don't know what your doing" to Glenn Hoddle following a substitution and booed the players as they left the pitch.

It was another poor performance and yet another performance which puts Wolves hopes of Premiership football next season into perspective.

Cameron Jerome had given Cardiff the lead on the 17 minute mark and Kenny Miller leveled late on for Wolves in a poor and scrappy encounter.

Wolves dominated the first half but fell apart in the second, whilst Cardiff - as poor as they are - had the heart the players in black and gold were missing.

Wolves Chief Executive wanted to win promotion "in style" this season. He claimed that anything other than the top two would be a failure.

That means then that Wolves have sadly failed. However they have at least done it "in style". On current form we won't even reach the top half of the table, not to mention the Play-Offs.
