Wolves manager Mick McCarthy refused to be downhearted after the 4-1 home defeat to free-scoring Arsenal.
McCarthy is not expecting his side to take maximum points off the `big four` clubs this season, and instead switched his focus to Birmingham`s visit to Molineux at the end of the month.
He said: "Our season won't be judged by games against Arsenal. We have Birmingham coming up and this is the type of game we have to win.
"Hull, West Ham and Portsmouth are the teams in and around us and matches with them will be important.
"We have been ticking along okay but were well beaten in the end. We were outstanding for 30 minutes and took Arsenal on but mistakes have cost us.
"But I know the crowd appreciate the hard work the team put in and the way they tried to play."

Christ Timity, you know how to copy and paste..... ;)
Man U and Liverpool are in the same position - they rely on goals from 1 or 2 players. Chelsea and Arsenal are free scoring from various positions. Admittedly Arsenal have only played 1 of the big clubs. In their defence, they are destroying lesser teams where in previous seasons they stumbled - West Ham excepted. The future ? Who knows except Arsenal are young, gained a lot of experience, injuries are more than covered by replacements unlike in previous campaines. The future looks bright, the futures The Gunners
