00:00Hello, I'm Nathan Judah and I'm here with a special celebrity guest with Keenobin away.
00:14See us on camera. Ah, here he is! Here he is, Mr Joe Edwards! He's back, how's it going?
00:21I'm alright mate, my hair's a bit shorter, I've probably got a few more pounds on but
00:25I'm here, I'm still alive. But the most important thing mate is we've missed
00:29detailed analysis, so now we've brought the big guns on. Keenobin's been doing a brilliant job,
00:35lesser ramblings and you know's but I'm happy to step in for one day out. Well it's great to see
00:42you mate, it's great to see that you came today, you've brought light onto the stadium, Wolverhampton
00:461-2, Spurs 2, I know Spurs were back in the game a couple of times but there was only one side who
00:52were going to win this today and it was Wolves 1-2. Yeah, I think every time that Spurs pulled one
00:56back it was, it almost felt a bit unjust. I mean we've just been discussing off camera Spurs are
01:01poor in that. Ah, terrible! They're grumpy to say the least. Good time to play them in between the
01:07Frankfurt games. But that's not to take anything away from what Wolves have done today, I thought
01:11across the pitch they've done really well and obviously you know a couple of the goals
01:17you know that Larsen can't really miss but I thought relatively they were quite clinical when they
01:22got the chances and certainly look more of a threat. I mean good performances across the park, Agbedou,
01:27that's great! He loves it! He's a new Dendonke! It works! It's brilliant, Andre and
01:38his first time for me being here this season in the flesh and seeing Agbedou up close and Andre up close,
01:43I mean Andre, the amount of ground he covered is something to behold. Same with Manetti,
01:49he's a bit more of the foil isn't he? Manetti doesn't do so much on the ball but kind of allows
01:55others to express themselves by the sheer running he does and though I think a thoroughly deserved
02:00three points anything less would have been you know unjust and a good well-deserved victory.
02:05Someone like Ryan Aknori who's bubbled under a little bit I would say this season hasn't quite hit
02:09the heights to get his goal. I mean Vicari had a bit of a shocker today I think in golf for Spurs but at
02:14the same time to get his goal his ticket was up I thought some really good crosses in there got the assist of
02:18course for Strang Larsson as well standing ovation when he went off that's the kind of
02:23game we want to see more of Ryan Aknori because he is world class on his day.
02:26When you get him forward and get him running at people that's the last thing you want isn't he
02:31as a defender and he started off in a fantastic way by scoring so early on and then kind of carried
02:38on from there really and I mean just that kind of sheer relentlessness kind of puts the pressure on
02:43Romero of course Romero dropped a rick to let him through but then he gets past him puts the ball
02:49on the plate for Larsson to make it free and he was really good today I think you know to a man
02:55they perform well across the pitch a fully deserved victory but yeah Aknori to see him chipping in
03:01with goals and assists again that's certainly more like it. Five goals in four games for Jorgen Strang
03:05Larson only one more goal and he will equal Raul Jimenez in his first season at Wolves which is
03:11quite incredible really for the impact that he has made. He's done really well and I think he's one
03:16of them where you look at him like for what you expect from somebody who's probably six foot three
03:21six foot four probably isn't that big target man that you expect him to be like a Chris Ward or
03:27someone like that but he brings others into play he's always an option and he gets his rewards again by
03:33just being in the right place at the right time I really like him I think he brings a lot to the
03:38team he's selfless he works hard and I think one thing that being here that I've noticed today I
03:45think obviously you know the fans are really behind me too but this is the most united it's felt since
03:50now and hopefully that can continue into next season we have a good summer we can get some
03:56the right players in but everybody seems to be singing from the same him sheet there's a real kind of
04:01team spirit team ethic and yeah long may that continue. If Mateus Kunja was to design a play
04:08today you would say right I want a one-on-one in front of the south bank to make my celebration
04:13make my point and score a goal and that's exactly what he did I mean look you know Mateus Kunja on
04:18the pitch and off the pitch different characters but at the same time as we've always said he is a
04:22world-class striker and you wouldn't want the ball to fall to anyone else would you? No I mean you never
04:28doubted it did you once he was bearing in on goal you just thought that this is this is a formality
04:32that he's going to score this nice little kiss of the badge and stuff like that just to kind of
04:37as you say re-emphasise the point I mean social media as we know is a dangerous game and you know
04:42maybe something's got misconstrued somewhere who knows but you like to see him do he's talking on the
04:48pitch and he's done that today look I whether he'll be gone in the summer I reckon he probably
04:55is you know you'd imagine probably a Man United or something like that he'll be kind of whether he's
05:01not the the man for them but he'll be one of the two in behind the main striker for them
05:06but enjoy him while he's still here and you know when he can come on and do stuff like that
05:11let's kind of make the match to him while he's still in the wool shirt I'd say. Four wins four
05:16premier league wins in a row the first time ever in the premier league era including under Nuno the
05:21first time in the top flight since 1972 Joe I mean what what an impression and what an impact
05:27Vitor Pereira has made to this side. He's been fantastic I mean I was just discussing I've been
05:33here with my dad today and I remember having the conversation with him about Christmas time
05:38under O'Neill and I was certain we were there I was absolutely certain of you I would have put my
05:43house on him and I'm glad I didn't but Vitor's coming and he's been a breath of fresh air I mean
05:51just even the little things like going down the pool down the Gifford down the down the Wethys
05:56spoons yeah exactly first the points then the points yeah and as I say this is the most
06:03of course everybody who comes here every week will be able to tell me better but
06:07from the outside looking in this is the most united it's felt since Nuno and you know he certainly
06:12seems to say the right things I like his honesty yeah he was just kind of forthright in the press
06:17conference before the match saying this is my team and Cuny's not going straight back in you do
06:22wonder if it's a bit of double bluffing and stuff but no he's stuck to his guns and yeah he's a
06:28he's a breath of fresh air and a real kind of man who's made a connection with the fans.
06:31Well there's a few people who missed out today there's a few injuries so we'll see whether
06:34Mateus Cuny returns you know Bellegarde went off so but Manchester United away I tell you what
06:38Mateus Cuny will be desperate to play and you know Wolves go to Manchester United on Easter Sunday
06:42now then Leicester at home here I mean we're talking about four in a row but it wouldn't
06:46surprise me if they go to Old Trafford and win and then you'll keep five six in a row this is this
06:49is quite insane well just looking at the table and obviously you know you've got to play as we were
06:55about to speak we're only three points behind them they're still in Europe as well yeah only two points
07:00behind Spurs and which on today's evidence you can see why because they're they're not what they
07:05should be obviously I haven't took West Ham now on goal difference 16th baby so yeah it's you know
07:12the heady heights of 13th we could be talking about in a few weeks but you know to think where we were
07:17just a just a matter of months ago is is crazy and you know as you say going to Old Trafford nothing to
07:22be safe here um obviously got the you know the freedom now just to kind of go out and enjoy those
07:27games and you know there's some players I guess who want to make points going into next season
07:32you know you Rodrigo Gomez he's coming back from injury and you know whether Huang wants to make
07:37sure he's here for the long term stuff like that so yeah there's still a lot of stuff to pay for
07:43and you know the further up you can finish up in the table extra few quid in the bank in all else
07:49it's like Joe Edwards you've never been away there will be a clamor for Edwards to be in
07:56give him the job till the end of the season uh Wolverhampton Wanderers for Spurs 2 for all the
