Never in doubt.
3rd and the only side to win every league game after a European tie this season.
p.s.
Come on Arsenal!
-
Somehow 3rd
-
Easy work.
-
That's the difference with this era, we dig out good wins.
-
Good win.
-
Ugly win, but it’s a win.
Martinez great.
-
Reminded me of those dour derby games against them in the 70s. Little of note with a class goal this time.
-
3 points, job done. Might need to play better in the next two games.
-
Big win.
Poor performance.
Rogers terrible today.
McGinn excellent.
Sancho...dreadful cameo.
-
3 points, objective met.

Mental after the start we made to the season and generally that we’ve not been overly convincing.
-
Wolves - Villa Park See You In the Thirties
-
Wolverhampton will focus on the fact that Martinez had to pull off some good saves,no problem with that but you can see why they have only 2 points
-
Yep, last time we'll have to host them for a while. Mind the gap, dickheads.
-
Don't bother watching MOTD tonight
Running order
Chelsea v Arse
Yanited revival
Billy Bonds memorial game/Liverpool back on track
Dyche touch deserts him
Yesterday's goals
Credits roll - our result pops up.
-
SJM. Absolutely unplayable today. At his best. Martinez too. Kamara was quality. A few of them had stinkers (Buendia, Rogers, even YT was a bit off it).
Watkins again looked truly off the pace when he came on. We need a new CF in January of we’re going to stay in the top 4.
-
I don't blame them.
-
Oh and, hahahahaha Wolves. You played quite well in a very limited way and still didn’t win you absolute clowns.
-
Last season we were dropping points for these sort of matches. We found a way today.
-
Great win, great goal, world class save, McGinn brilliant, everything else pretty average to shit.
Let's cut straight to highlights from the Liverpool game and talk about them in the title race.
-
As somebody that lived in Wolverhampton for the best part of 40 years, I dont care how we win this one as long as we do.
It did nothing for my system after staying awake after the nightshift though.
-
Always a slog against them, but got it done.
-
The result was all important. But it was a poor performance, even taking into account the fact that Wolves defended deep and in numbers.
Martinez man of the match, for me (that’s a few in recent games, now).
Great strike from Bouba, but he was slightly under par today (again, not for the first time in recent games).
McGinn got us going, eventually.
Onana was strong when he came on, and Ollie’s energy was welcome.
Buendia was wasteful and did not keep the ball moving enough.
Felt sorry for Sancho, all of the decisions he made were the wrong ones, and in such a short space of time. It was embarrassingly bad.
Everyone else average.
-
Mind the chasm you dingle bastards
-
Goal and save deserved to win the game. SJM was… super. Not much else to say.
-
We had an off day but still won.
-
The co-commentator mentioned a rift between Ollie and Emery. That’s the first I’ve heard? If anything I’d say Emery has kept him in the side longer than he’s needed too. He’s been way off form, but he generally plays him.
In hindsight, this was a game more suited to Ollie than Malen. They packed their own box and it was extremely tough messy derby.
-
Can't wait for Harry's song.

Can't wait for Harry's song.
Not Harry Lauder I hope.
-
I do think today reemphasised that Don, as good as he’s been, is not a lone striker in the Premier League.
-
McGinn brilliant today. Martinez 1 extraordinary save and 2 very good (i.e regulation for him) saves too.
Kamara, Cash, Konsa and Pau all adequate. And Amadou and Bogarde when he came one.
Rest were well below par in my opinion. Defo should have worked Johnstone more.
The knuckle dragging obsese hunchbacks can go back to the Chumpionship.
-
Another one and another 3 points pocketed

Apparently we are "the luckiest team ever"...
-
The definition of winning ugly - apart from the goal which was a thing of beauty. We just had too much quality. And McGinn, who's like having an extra man when he's on it like he was today.
Nice to finish November on a high. December looks like being a right bastard.

Moral victories will keep them warm when they break Derbys record.

The ugliest win since Matthew Vaughn married Claudia Schiffer.

I can’t envision watching highlights on repeat like I usually do all day Monday after a Villa win.
-
It was hard work but I had a feeling it was going to be. Buendia was a bit off it and it was no surprise when he went off. Martinez was just immense. The one save was ridiculous.
-
Did anyone see the ref discussing the red card that should have happened with McGinn? McGinn is doing the two footed action and the repeats the foul to McGinn but does it with one foot. He watched it replayed several times, how can he be that fucking blind?

Pretty much nailed it though despite being the stand out player, I've seen SJM have even better games. 8/10 for me.
Emi Martinez a 7.5/10, 7 for Kamara, Konsa a 6.5, Pau and Malen a 6, the rest 4/10 with the exception of Rogers who I don't think completed a pass and Sancho who really shouldn't even be here 3/10.
Agree we need a new centre forward. Watkins really looks like he'd benefit from a move. It's just not working out for him now and sometimes a move is a good as a rest and he looks completely knackered both physically and mentally.
All that said, we're up to third. Let's stay there or heaven forbid, push on.
As for Wolves, they gave their best but sometimes or most of the time as they're finding out this season, your best just isn't good enough. As Leeds found out last weekend, playing like cloggers comes with consequences and those yellow cards must be adding up. What was it the General said about 'rolling around with pigs'? Fortunately we resisted the temptation to play to their rules.
Onwards and upwards.
-
I see it's moral victory o'clock in Wolverhampton. What a shame for them.
Great goal by Kamara. Martinez and McGinn, Sancho... less so.
The referee was a twat and they should have finished with nine men. Play like that against Man U next week and the referee will have abandoned the game by half-time.
-
Thought occurred to me that Strand Laursen could do a job for us. Having resisted the Jaudis this summer, can't see them being able to keep hold of him in January. What's the going rate?
