Those were the days my friend......
As Wolves prepare to face former manager Dave Jones in tomorrow's FA Cup tie, and with fans in need of a pick-me-up after some mixed results of late, have a look at the following footage also involving Jones and Cardiff.
For no other reason than we can!!!

Paul Berry - Mail man Paul Berry’s view of what’s going on at the Wolves
People will want Mick McCarthy sacked after the Cardiff debacle but what I want to know is who is out there that's any better? If it was someone else in charge at Wolves now and McCarthy was out of work he would be seen as the ideal candidate.
The fact is any manager needs time, and plenty of it especially when he has to fish around the lower divisions for players. You build one squad, it might not work, and another and that might not work either, but a quality manager, like McCarthy, will get it right eventually.
Chopping and changing every few years is a big reason why we keep taking one step forward and two steps back. Let's stick with Mick.
Well said Aggie. I for one see no reason why there should be any knee-jerk reactions at this stage.
Yes Wolves are going through a rough trot at the moment, but as you say, football is not an exact science.
If Mick McCarthy was to leave now it's basically suggesting that a bad couple of months can undo all the good work of the year-and-a-half before.
We don't really know what Steve Morgan is thinking because he's kept a low media profile since taking over which in a way is no bad thing.
But Jez Moxey is still very much behind Mick and would like to give him time to continue the job and hopefully bring about better results.
I was a bit surprised at the initial change in formation yesterday and then various other changes as the game went on which smacked a bit of desperation.
But the more I think about it the more I think the injuries to Michael Kightly, Matt Jarvis and Lewis Gobern have been a real problem for McCarthy to overcome.
He loves playing 4-4-2 with two flying wingers, and heading into the season with the three mentioned above would have been an exciting prospect.
However, he's only ever had one fit and at the moment has none, and while never wishing to use injuries as an excuse I think that has been a big factor in why Wolves have struggled to repeat their exciting football of last season.
