Go on Nuno enjoy you deserve it

 

[crocos]

Seeing that makes me miss Nuno, I've gotta say; JL is fantastic etc, but Nuno just had that Je ne sais quoi with us.

For me, he is the father of our rise, and will always be part of the Wolves family. A golden time.

 

[Sketchead]

The greatest. Love you, miss you.

 

[Tojo the grass]

Good old Nuno

 

[SuperGran]

Still love him

 

[Rauls Headband]

Hairs on the arms stood up at that.......

 

[Clipboard]

Top man. Wish him the best.

 

[Matt]

Love it. Glad to see him doing well.

As Spurs have shown since his departure, they were the problem - not Nuno. Still a top manager. I have no doubt we’ll see him in the opposition dugout again in the next couple of years.

 

[Arcadius]

True legend in our history!

True legend in our history!

Lump in throat.........

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

He will be back one day.....

 

[hankin]

Looks like he has got his mojo back.

 

[Glow69]

Nuno nuno!

 

[WalsallWolf]

Id still have him back tomorrow. Won't go into it (again..) but never should he have left the club.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Well done Nuno always welcome back

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Brought a tear to my eye. Bloody COVID

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Looks like he had a Cardiff moment for his club last night.

1-1 going into last minute against a side that could have gone to within three points of Nuno's side with a win.

The away side miss an 89th minute penalty, Nuno's side have a player sent off on 95, and then Nuno's ten men score a penalty winner in the 106th(!) minute to win 2-1. Now six points clear in the title race and nine clear of the side they beat.

 

[HICKO]

Most of his time at Wolves was so enjoyable, top manager and top man.
Hope he comes back to manage in the Premier. Gave Wolves their pride back.

[WWFC4EVA]

A true Wolves Legend.
Once a wolf, always a wolf.

 

[TheConcourse]

We’ll be very lucky to see a connection with a manager again like the one with Nuno. Could take years. Could be JL if we’re incredibly fortunate.

What a legend.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Still love him

Me too, it makes me angry when I think about those Totteringham prima donnas.
May their trophy cupboard remain empty and their seasons end in disappointment.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Hairs on the arms stood up at that.......

Me too. Happy, happy memories. He just had that connection....

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

No offence to Lopetegui, but I'm not sure I'll ever love another manager how I loved (and still love) Nuno. I mean of course what he achieved is a big part of that, but I never felt like that about Turner for all the great things he did. Nuno just has something very special.

So good to see him happy and doing well again.

Will love that man forever!

The description doesn't even quite match the drama, I highly recommend viewing.

First, the missed penalty is a panenka. Then, the player sent off is dismissed for spitting (note, there are no puffed out cheeks and you can see the spit travel very clearly, as you would have if Podence had actually spat), then the penalty Nuno's side gets is awarded by VAR, and the penalty taker adopts an almost identical technique to the guy who missed.... that takes some balls.

Mad game!

Yeah, I couldn't believe it, have added the video below now.

Don't get me started on VAR in that league for those handballs...

Wow, great video, thanks for sharing.

Huge Kudos to the player scoring the winning penalty. The missed penalty in the 89th minute was chipped down the middle and caught by the goalkeeper.

Then to chip your penalty down the middle and score in the 106th minute after that has happened to the other team is just incredible!!

Ah, the sultry joys of a mis-spent youth.

[Stafford]

For me Nuno will always be the peak.
Things have to happen organically and it just seemed like the right person at the right time for the club, and during a period of my life where I could really enjoy my football too.
I see people the generation of people before me reminisce over the England team in the 90's through a different lens than me. And this is how how I feel about Nuno's team.
I stuck up for Coady in the Dawson thread the other day. I just can't feel anywhere as good about this team as i did about the one 3-4 years ago.

Only their armpits?

 

[crocos]

So good to see him happy and doing well again.

Will love that man forever!

This is the thing, no - I think he suffered as much as us or even more; COVID, Raul, us falling away a bit, crowd less warm than before etc etc.

He looked a shadow of himself by the end and then at Spurs etc.

So fantastic to see him with, seemingly, his mojo and his burning spirit right back.

Made my week that has.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

Id still have him back tomorrow. Won't go into it (again..) but never should he have left the club.

He made Wolves feel like family. Lope makes it feel like business.

 

[luiandlui]

Nuno was the greatest. I like JL but even if we win the league I wouldn’t love him like Nuno. Bit mental really.

 

[S G Wolves]

We all had a special bond with Nuno that will never be replaced. Hard to explain but we all know it was there.

Wish him all the best.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

Nuno epitomised the whole Wolf pack brand.

 

[NewOrder306]

Most important men in my life have been...My Dad, John Peel and Nuno......

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Best manager for me that I have seen at wolves . Turned us into a solid mid table Prem side and gave us belief.

I mean Christ we nearly got to a cup final and we were in Europe . Seems a distance at the moment .
