Top 4 finish looking ever more possible.
Chelsea’s defeat tonight means Wolves are the only team in the Premier League to win all their games since the restart
On the ball as usual Gem.

Exceptional circumstances but what a position to be in, 3 points off third with 6 games to go. Leicester looking very catchable and a showdown with Chelsea on the last day. A lot of football between now and then though.
Champions League qualification still a possibility after 32 games is a fantastic achievement. I understand the result of the Man City appeal is expected on 13 July and then it will at least be clear what is needed for European qualification.
A good many fans didn’t believe we would match or better our 7th place from last season particularly with the fixture congestion that the Europa League gave us. Personally even if we miss out on the Champions League I would still think top 6 would make it a great season and would have to be seen as further progress
Whatever happens we have had a fabulous season and one we could have only dreamed of three years ago.
What the future brings who knows, but this Wolves fan of some 60 years plus is ecstatic considering what we have all suffered through the Eighties, Nineties and Noughties. Long may it continue.

It has been a great season so far, despite some rumblings from some fans. To be 3 points off 3rd spot and still in the Europa League is a credit to Nuno and the squad.
There's no doubt we are a difficult team to beat, having only lost 6 matches in the league thus far. Only Liverpool can better that. 13 drawn matches have prevented us from being in the top 3, so let's enjoy the rest of the season and who knows, we may grab a Champions League spot one way or another.
On to Saturday and Arsenal, so I wonder what set up Nuno will choose. I hope he goes with 3-4-3, but how do you leave Dendonker out after his MoM performance against Villa. Maybe 3-5-2 with Jimenez and Traore up front, as I think Jota is off form of late.
The rumblings are only from those that think we should be in an even better position, as you mention, far too many draws have prevented us being top three already. It has been a good season so far, it could yet be a great season, time will tell.
It is all fine margins. It isn't a stretch that we slip up Saturday or a poor ref decision leaves us three points ahead of what have been a hopeless Arsenal and one point ahead of a really hopeless Spurs. If the unthinkable happens and we just have a dip of form now and those two pass us is it still a great season? No, we will all be asking where it went wrong and we will all be bitterly disappointed at not turning a few of those draws into wins.
Hopefully we smash Arsenal and that ends any fears of being reeled in. I think we need 63-64 points for a CL place, still four wins.
Do hope everyone remains safe in Wolverhampton. Ridiculous decision to reopen pubs for the first time since the lockdown on a Saturday. And to cap that it coincides with an important televised match against Arsenal at home. Don’t know what will be put in place to control numbers but the demand to watch the game in the boozer will certainly be high
I'm not quite sure what you expected this season to be honest. Yes we've drawn many games, but in a lot of those draws we've lost out on possession, only to grind out a draw or two. We could so easily have dropped points in many matches. We have a remarkable record of coming from behind and winning games. Man City and Spurs immediately spring to mind.
I don't think many would have predicted the success we're having with both the league position and the Europa League.
Considering the size of the senior squad, I think Nuno has done a great job thus far.
Plus, don't expect your usual request for a lot of new players coming in. Nuno works with a small senior squad and supplements that squad with younger players. Both Vinagre and Neto have given us quite a strong subs bench, even more so when Traore is also sitting it out from time to time.
Nuno has got it right thus far and I see no reason why we can't challenge for a higher finishing spot and go a bit further in the Europa League.
I think at times you are expecting too much. We are gradually getting better and hopefully the younger players that we brought in will improve under the guidance of Nuno and his staff.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but if we finish and qualify for any European spot next season I feel our better players will stay.
Wolves forever.
As an arsenal fan I may not know about your squad as you do but to me you have a really good squad. It would be shame not to add real quality players to challenge what you have as I feel you need to build the depth of your squad to progress further

Nuno and i are on the same page with this one, he also said the squad needs adding to as it is obviously too small. A couple of players won't suddenly turn it into a large squad.
Yeah Kami just about all of us think the same, ironically Covid spared us this season with the enforced lay off, we probably benefited more than most.

It's going to be carnage up and down the country I fear and madness to open up on a Saturday.
Ive had another home delivery and I'll be staying put. Weather's look cr@p as well.
With Wolves form and our away form, 1 away win under Arteta against Southampton in an empty stadium, I am expecting a Wolves win or maybe we can scrap a draw. We will be 8th by then, with any result tonight with this round of matches being completed putting us one place lower. We are only 2 points above 11th place so its tight in the mid-table area. AS with every game against us at the moment, I think a lot of it will come down to the opposition manager. Set up to stop us playing our game and attack us quickly and we struggle. Let us play our game and we have a chance.

How do you think we feel out here? We live in the holiday paradise of Mallorca. We we locked down (properly locked down for 5 weeks) as a result our Island is Covid-19 free. Now the cheap flights have started a nd the muppets who were on Bournemouth beach last week are coming by the plane load. This island lives for tourism but as far as me and Mrs Gem are concerned you can all feck off!
Keep thinking Sheff Utd will fade away but they keep going
Great result and should pretty much end any chance of Spurs sneaking ahead of us.
