Up to sixth place, same points as United but they have a better goal difference.

Today was Dohertys 250 appearance for the club. Not bad for a lad who was working with his father fitting and cleaning carpets before Mad Mick signed him.

Interesting that it’s taken him ten seasons to get to that number of appearances, an often undervalued member of our squad, he’s been a key player last few seasons.

Some interesting stats starting to appear: Wolves are now unbeaten in the capital since they returned to the Premier League.
Wolves have won back to back games against Spurs for the first time since 1908, that is 43 matches.

Norton, I think Doherty was sent out on loan in the early months.

This morning (Oz Time) I listened to Mourinho's post-match comments following our victory over Spurs yesterday. He mumbled his way through an ungracious judgment that his Spurs were very unlucky and certainly didn't deserve to lose. Few would deny Mourinho's ability as a football coach/manager, but sometimes his lack of humility in defeat strains any sense of credibility. Certainly, for much of the afternoon, Spurs played some good, entertaining, football, but when it really mattered their defence had no answer for Wolves on the rampage. Perhaps, in his game-plan, Mourinho had not given sufficient thought to Wolves ace-in-the-hole, their ability to mount a counter-attack with such devastating speed (rarely equalled by any other team in the P.L.). Yesterday, the Spurs defence learned the hard way - never underestimate Wolves ability to come back and bite you on the a-se when you least expect it !!!

Also, thank you, Everton, for your part in making yesterday so memorable for us Wolfies. Maybe we can still overcome Man Utd and the other contenders for a place in the Champions League next year !!!.....I like to think so. Go you mighty Wolves !!!

I read that it is now 20+ points won this season from loosing positions. No other team are any where near that. It is a credit to the team spirit that Nuno and his staff have nurtured over the last three years. Wolves just do not know when they are beaten.

Grizz, I have to agree with you Re, comments about Mourinho. He did however forget to mention how lucky they were to take the three points at Molineux earlier this season, after being totally outplayed.

Abbo', Sometimes, Mourinho, comes across as a mumbling, disgruntled, old w----r, but then again, perhaps he's simply suffering from memory loss ? or even more likely (to quote that famous line by actor, Strother Martin, in 'Cool Hand Luke')........"What we have here is failure to communicate" !!! For his sake 'Hurry back Harry'.
