I had the strangest feeling while watching the earlier thriller between Newcastle and Arsenal, that this would be a really bad night for us. After seeing Arsenal collapse after taking a 4-goal cushion, I was pretty darn sure we were going to do one up on them. I even dropped Kentona an sms before the game to register my fears.

It's been a strange night of sorts. There were an insane number of goals scored and a couple of hattricks to go around. And when Tissue Boy (Saha) grabs 4 goals in a game, you just have to check if the moon was really blue. Sadly the only thing blue right now is my mood.

We started the game brilliantly. Nani pulled off a stunner in the opening minutes and it looked like we could very well be heading for a good night. But it was not to be. It didn't take Wolves long to find an equalizer. Elokobi rose and headed Jarvis' cross powerfully into the net.

We tried to regain the lead but were quite frankly terrible. The awful state of the pitch didn't help matters. Wolves grabbed the lead when we went to sleep from another set-piece.

Did I mention that we were really terrible? I can't remember having a shot on target in the second half when we were chasing the game and going for a record 30th game unbeaten in the league. Tempers were heated and stupid fouls were made, but we came nowhere close to finding the net.

Our terrible away form has finally come back to bite us in the arse. The only silver lining I can take from this defeat is that we can finally put to bed the whole notion of going thru the season unbeaten and emulating that fantastic Arsenal team. To put it simply, we didn't deserve it.

Now, let's just go on and fucking win the league.
