The Win on Saturday was Superb. It was dubbed as one of the greatest upsets of Premiership History. We enjoyed it. But now it is time to move on and look forward to the Liverpool game.

 The Atmosphere at Molineux on Saturday was electric. The Fans went wild, the players reacted and, sadly, so did the Media.

 Wolves made the headline's in all the papers over the weekend and rightly so, however are we forgetting who we actually are?

 On the 26th May 2003, Wolves beat Sheffield United at the Millennium Stadium to earn the right to play in one of the greatest leagues in the World, the Barclaycard Premiership.

 Wolves earned the right to face teams like Manchester United each week, but the Media seem to portray a "Giant Cup Killing" in the way in which they report the events of Saturday.

 Wolves performance was special, but Wolves have played better this season and lost, so, despite the win coming against the Champions, why did the media, in particular the regional media, print "8 Page Specials" about the win. It made out that Wolves were out of their depth and the win was something of a miracle when, at the end of the day, Wolves have the right to play and beat these teams each week.

 The name Wolverhampton Wanderers and the Old Gold Shirts are famous world-wide and the pioneers of European Football were taking scalps like Manchester United and Arsenal each week without a fuss being made. We are not a little club, we never have been, but what we are, is back!
