Snow stops play in Black Country dingle-dong


Wolves hard man Mick McCarthy was seething today after officials and public safety experts at The Hawthorns called off this afternoon's big Black Country derby with Sandwell rivals, the Baggies.

With an opportunity to go top of the Braggers League had Wolves beaten West Brom, McCarthy was observed storming into the Albion dressing room where players were drinking Bovril and holding Baggy Bird hot water bottles.

"I don't know what's up wi' footballers these days" big Mick was heard to fume. "You're nowt but wimps. In my day we were sent out trainin' over t' moor in just our underpants and bare feet as like. Nowt a rub down with a bottle of embrication couldn't sort out, son".

McCarthy then challenged Albion boss Roberto di Matteo to a snow ball fight. In spite of being born in Switzerland, the Italian manager only lasted 3 minutes in the freezing cold as McCarthy pelted him with snow balls.

As di Matteo was seen heading back towards his personal dressing room, wiping away the snow as he made his escape, McCarthy was heard to shout:

"Well we bloody well won that one sunshine!"
