With no more games until the end of the year, a collection of Wolves fans have responded to a tweet summarising what has happened over the past year.
Popular Wolves journalist from the Athletic Tim Spiers has tweeted about 2019 for Wanderers – and what a year it has been.
As you see from the tweet below, Spiers has outlined some of the achievements that Nuno Espirito Santo and his side have been able to achieve.
Is a top four finish a realistic target?
Yes
No
Ask again in April
They have had their highest finish since 1980, European football for the first time in 39 years, the best FA Cup run for 21 years, a historic China visit, a double over the champions, and March 16, ‘when they came of age’, after beating Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup quarters.
Unsurprisingly, fans absolutely loved to read about their clubs achievements, and some fans even gave him a reminder that they have beaten the champions three times this year, if you count the Asia Trophy. With the tweet finishing with ‘what on earth have they got in store for us next?’, one fan responded saying that there could even be two cup finals coming in May.
Here are some of the replies below…

If we get a couple of sensible VAR decisions then we’ll be well up for top 4

Fans are probably still having to pinch themselves with what is going on at the moment. It’s testament to the club, staff and the board that just 18 months after bouncing back into the Premier League, they are devastated that they have only managed to pick up three points against debatably the two best sides on the planet in Manchester City and Liverpool.
There’s so much to look forward in 2020 for the club with the final 32 of the Europa League on the horizon, and there still being a slim chance of getting into the top four.
