Welbz got that last minute winner against Leicester down that end as did Thierry with a bullet header against United all those years ago and tonight’s goal gave me the same fucking buzz as those did.
Superb win and fair play to Martinez-Lite he got it right tonight. Doesn't matter if it was an OG we deserved the win and fuck those ferret molesting time wasting uncle fucking inbreds - they got what they deserved too!
That was an exhilarating victory. I've been around some games when we were going for the biggest trophies and felt like Grimandi's winner against a stubborn Palace or Lauren's penalty against spuds. We have a proper team, a manager who can win a game tactically. At fucking last!!!
Say it quietly but I think we could even catch the chavs.
He's never going to be a favourite but I thought Xhaka really stepped up today and led the team. His manhandling of Jimenez to get him off the pitch reminds me of a players from our past. And he didn't get a red card for it. Much better in a more forward midfield role.
Great and vital victory!
Fantastic 3pts i thought it was fucked when they scored but we somehow managed to dig it out Its amazing how many pages this thread ended up with considering how close to kick off it was put up On to the next game.
Heading to Tenerife for a week this morning for our first family holiday with our little 7 month old lad and what a buzz this result has given me to kick start the holiday
Thought regardless of going a goal down to a silly mistake that we played pretty well. Thought Thomas Partey was worth a mention. On his day he is a very effective player for getting the ball moving forward quicker, he just really needs to stop shooting or get some serious practice in. Fuck me he is wild with his efforts on goal
My favourite thing about last night was the desire until the death to get the winner. Days gone by too often we would have got level and accepted the draw but we were pushing for the win until the end. Love that.
We go on now to next Sunday giving us a good rest and maybe a chance for ESR and Tommy to be back in the squad.
Was also very refreshing for our subs to make such a big impact, Pepe and Nkeitah were excellent when they came on
I know I said it in the match thread already but having watched the highlights again just now it’s worth saying again that the atmosphere was absolutely superb yet again last night.
All season it’s been excellent, there’s been a massive change this year and for the better, not sure what’s behind it but the fans in the ground are 100% behind this side. I think the fact that a lot of the divisive, disruptive and dislikeable players have been binned and what we’re left with is a squad of players who regardless of what you think of their quality all seem to give it all for the cause.
It was an own goal. Lacazette is still a problem. Sure he is a good leader and works hard from the front, but his shot was shit and it was a genuine keeper own goal. Contrast to Pepe's brilliant turn and finish. We would score more goals if we try Martinelli or even -Pepe upfront.
Still though great result. Wolves are no pushovers even at home.
