There’s no other word.
That result has affected me badly.
Usually I know about every goal in the Premier League within seconds of it being scored.
But it’s Monday lunchtime and I still don’t know who won the Chelsea-Arsenal match.
I haven’t been able to think about football since Phillips’ second goal.

Whatever Mick McCarthy says about being content with his squad and his two signings from Belgium, he can’t be happy with Wolves’ transfer activity in January.
Two unknowns from a minnow league can’t be what he was expecting when the window opened.
And it certainly wasn’t what us fans were hoping for.
Why oh why did I stay glued to my computer waiting for a big name signing to be announced?
Disappointment is my overwhelming emotion though, not anger.

A 0-0 draw against Liverpool was the high point of a January that has been disappointing on all fronts otherwise. We’re still in the FA Cup, just, and we’ve made a couple of signings but they haven’t been the big names we were hoping for.
So I can’t help feeling underwhelmed by 2010 so far.

Howard Webb clearly stopped Dave Jones getting to Wolves' summer targer James McCarthy in the 2-0 defeat against Wigan.
The youngster fired the visitors ahead and effectively won the game after Wolves had been earlier reduced to 10 men by the man in black.
Trouble is, there's nothing in the rule book to say Howard should be reprimanded, striken from the employment record or shot.
The truth is he did everything right and we lost because we were poor.
It puts an even greater need on some fresh impetus from the transfer window.

The West Ham game was called off and so I missed my Wolves fix at the weekend.
Only some speculation about who might arrive in the transfer window will stop me getting the shakes and coming out in cold sweats.
So here are some of the players we're definitely in for, some we're rumoured to be in for and a few that I wish we were in for.

Super, super Mick! . . .
Pundits, managers, commentators, columnists, so-called experts . . . . shut your mouths.
Wolves were sharp, Burnley were flat, 2-0, 12th at Christmas.

Nobody saw that coming.
Mick McCarthy got the decision . . . . absolutely right!
What he did last night was pick the team for Burnley at the weekend.

Wow! Back to back Premier League wins, the first top flight victory in the capital since 1066 and out of the bottom three.
After losing to Blues we needed something special to get the survival campaign back on track.
That was it, and as if to illustrate the point, it’s 16 points from 16 games and that is bang on target as we reach the half-way point of the season.

Yes, Craddock’s goal was obviously offside and had that decision gone against us, I would be furious.
In fact, Jody was offside when he scored against Stoke too.
But by my reckoning, it’s still 4-2 to the referees.
The men in black denied us certain penalties against Wigan, Portsmouth, Sunderland and Villa so we’re still behind in the decision lottery.

It was the most important game of the season so far and we produced our worst performance of the season so far.
With that result we took a big step towards relegation.
