Looking forward to being back at Molineux stadium tonight for the first time in 6 years. Back in the UK for a few days and bringing my dad up to experience an @Wolves game again will be great! 3 points and some goals from Hwang Hee-chan in @OfficialFPL would be fantastic!🐺⚽️💛🖤.

Get in ! @Wolves fans enjoy the ride. It’s is going to be fun one and remember don’t get frustrated when there are lows . I have been pretty disappointed in a few of the comments on players and Nuno in the last few weeks. You are special supporters . Keep the faith . 💪🏻🐺⚽️.

Good luck @Wolves today . The game has changed but a nice firm honest tackle to get the crowd going on this winning day was a highlight of mine in this fixture! .10 seconds into the game to set the tone! .Let’s go boys !! 🐺💛🖤.

After a recent interview on @WolfWhistlePod it stimulated me to search the archives from my time at @Wolves. Obviously we all have a bit more time at moment so I’ve put these 5 headers together. What order would you rate these in? Stay safe all 🐺⚽️👊🏻

Thanks guys. Appreciate the love and kind words . Loved every minute of my time at the 🐺 ⚽️.
Many happy returns to @neilemblen, whose 235 appearances (18 goals) in two spells at Wolves have him just outside the overall top 50 appearance makers for the club. Great guy who still maintains a keen interest in all things Wolves. Have a good one, Gribbers! 🎉

Great goal! Excellent press and trap set then clinical execution from the 3 Wolves players involved . The only time when Burnley looked a threat was when Wolves overplayed at times early in the game too. Lots of ways to win a game and this was a solid professional non risk win!🐺.

Thanks for doing the piece Paul . 20 years Wow ! .Still have the 💛🖤burning inside for all the memories of my 7 years at @Wolves . Great club, great people and now back where we belong in the @premierleague ! 👊🏻⚽️🐺.
'Never go back' so they say. Well @neilemblen did, & he never regretted it for a minute. It is 20 years this week since 'Gribbers' left Molineux for a second time. Great to catch up for the @ExpressandStar as he works as assistant coach at Colorado Rapids-

I truly had the best day today . I would have got nowhere near getting in the present Wolves team . They are top drawer and I love the fact that everyone knows it and trust the current players , staff and board to deliver . 👌👏
@neilemblen Welcome back Home Neil, it has been nice reading the replies you have sent out to fans. You were always one of my favourite players, you could of virtually played anywhere on the pitch.

It was a fantastic day . The comments and support I continue to receive is amazing. Thank you all ! 💛🖤🐺⚽️.
Wolves legend back at Molineux tonight. Before I worked for the club I was a season ticket holder from a very young age. I remember cheering Neil and the lads on in many a game from the South Bank. Hope you and your Dad enjoy the game @neilemblen 🐺⚽.

A REMINDER:. Neil Emblen started his career at Tonbridge Angels and Sittingbourne before making 200+ apps for Wolves among other FL clubs.

He talks so well. 👏Total confidence that the form will continue.Seems to me that he feels if we work as hard as the opposition we will win.

He is the nearest thing to Bully I've seen . Even moves the same at times . Jota and Cav have the silk but Bonatini will score consistently. A real fox in the box ! 👌⚽.Worry about the Prem in a few months . 😉
@neilemblen Does bonatini do it for you Neil I’m not sure,even more so if we get to the prem.

Here it is . Good Job I didn’t score many . Wouldn’t have been able to find it if I had scored as many as Bully ! 🤣🖤💛🐺👊🏻⚽️

Quite impressive to see both @neilemblen & @leehendrie77 appear in consecutive weeks for #ChampManFPL #TOTW . Can't wait to see what the second half of the season brings.

I deserve a mention for the worst debut ever that’s for sure ! 🤦🏼♂️🐺💛🖤⚽️🤣.
@powellyuk @SDJGreen He is quite open about how bad that was and how great we were as fans and didn't get on his back. Top bloke @neilemblen.

Ledge ! 👊🏻⚽️.
Happy 40th birthday to the chap who made a blistering impact at Wolves after arriving as a teenager from Tallaght. Robbie Keane scored twice on his debut at Norwich at just 17, and would notch 29 goals in 88 appearances in two seasons at Molineux. Have a good one Robbie!

I didn't want to leave . They accepted a stupid money bid and I felt in an awkward position so I went . It all worked out and the Wolves made a stash of cash . 👍

Robbie Keane or Bully for different reasons were best . Most underated was Robbie Dennison . Such a clever player .👏
@neilemblen Best player you played with and most under-rated during your time at Wolves (either spell)?.

@WolvesFPA Yep it’s great working with @jacko_8 and Joe . Both very good players and great characters. Darren Bazeley is also here on the technical staff so the Wolves are definitely well represented.👌⚽️.

It's an enjoyable ride at the moment and long may it can change quickly but Nuno is the best speaking most humble manager we have had in a long while so I have the faith without being overconfident which I think most of the fans share . 👍⚽
@neilemblen I think us fans have to be realistic and not get carried away and become arrogant it’s easily done with such exciting times at molineux, I trust nuno and we have come a long way since zenga, ppl need to sit back and enjoy the ride pal.
