Anyway (R) is all but confirmed and I'm in a reflective mood. It hurts. And yeah, I could legitimately go off on one about the managed decline under Fosun and Jeff Shi, but that’s a rant for another post (back to the resentment and bitterness soon). This evening, I’m choosing the glass‑half‑full version of being a Wolves supporter. The wine is helping. Listening to our away end in the first half run through their full repertoire of modern day chants has left me feeling contemplative. My mind is drifting back to our latter-day journey - the magic of that 2017/18 season. A season full of hope, belief, and that feeling that something special was brewing at Molineux. And after our promotion… We played in Europe. We reached a European quarter‑final. We finished 7th. Twice. We caused numerous upsets. We walked out under the arch at Wembley for an FA Cup semi‑final. And we were privileged to watch genuine elite talent. Those European nights at Molineux will stay with me forever. Under the lights, the noise, the sense that our little patch of WV1 had stepped onto the world stage. And one of the best parts for me? I got to live every second of it with my two lads beside me. The wife and I have had season tickets since the early 90s - decades of dreaming and suddenly we were watching those dreams unfold in front of our kids eyes. So yeah, it hurts. It should. But it doesn’t wipe away a single memory. Quite possibly the best times in a lifetime of watching Wolves. If anything, it reminds me why clubs like Wolves are different. Why it gets under your skin. Why it becomes part of your family story. Will we be back? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe not quickly, maybe not easily. But we’ll remember that we’ve already lived moments most fans can only dream of. So if you’re feeling nostalgic, look back at that unforgettable 17/18 season. Ruben Neves and Conor Coady still talk about it as their favourite year, and despite everything that came after, it’s a season I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. So, as the saying goes… “Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” 🐺🧡🖤🐺

Jeff Shi - "that squad, that style of play and the luck we had was not a good benchmark for Wolves" 🙄
