An Exciting Repeat – But Still No Happy Ending
Saturday, February 7: No shortage of goals again in a Wolves v Chelsea game that wasn’t too dissimilar to the Carabao Cup meeting of these clubs at the same venue in the autumn. Wolves were once more 3-0 down at half-time before producing a much stronger second half, alas, on the day of Pedro Neto’s latest return, without anything to show in the points column.
Something To Savour
Derby Delight Spills Over – No Problem!
Over the top? Yes, of course it was….gloriously so!

That’s Major, Tom!
The Grandest Of Entrances
Tom Edozie’s dramatic stoppage-time contribution against Arsenal last night has had us racking our brains for similar debut-day heroics. To go on with six minutes remaining at home to the Premier League leaders in a match shown live on TV and to have such a decisive impact is truly the stuff dreams are made of.
Utterly Bizarre!
Cup Fortunes That Point To A Slice Of Club History
Imagine if Wolves had recorded 112 victories in knockout football in 1958-59, the last season they won the top-flight title. Or 120 across the campaign in which Nuno Espirito Santo led them in such style to the Championship crown in 2017-18.
