It’s jarring to keep hearing “Wolves are preparing for their first European quarter final in 40 years†on the radio for the last few days.
Back in March 2019, when Wolves were in the FA Cup semi finals and in the battle for 7th, I told anyone who would listen that they would not only qualify for the Europa league, but would reach the later stages of the competition (ie Semi finals or better) and mount a serious challenge.
With them 90 minutes from a European semi final, I stand by that prediction. Their game and players are perfectly suited to this style of football, so I’m ready in myself for a whole lot of gloating from their lot over the next few weeks.
Tough challenge of course - Sevilla have been great in 2020, Man Utd look tired but are better they were while Inter look like they could push Juventus in Serie A next season, but if I could get to a bookies without using one of those stupid apps, I’d put a tenner in the Wolves.
