2001 was it, what the fuck was I doing at OT in 1999 lol
Hojbjerg isn't fit to shine Gray's shoes right this second, mate. Could you see PEH performing this well being shunted here there and everywhere based on the needs of the team? Gray has been about the only bright spot so far of the whole fucking season for fuck sake. If he's this good now he will be in a different stratosphere to PEH by the time he's 22.
I can't believe some of our own fans are blaming the club for Sky Sports being totally unprofessional childish wankers
Away to the highest scorers at home with a knackered and injured squad with most on here expecting a loss and at least one poster accepting a draw before the start, that was an excellent result. It showed that Ange can adjust towards different circumstances and the doom mongers talking us down we’re disappointed.
I shan't attempt to deprive you of your opinion.....
....But this suggests you think they were "rubbish" to at least some degree.
...Ergo????
(What do you do with such players then? ....Not make them feckin' captain! LOL)
They weren't "unceremoniously" anything... Now you're just adding drama to a scenario where there was none.
Dier got a cheeky little move to one of the biggest clubs in the world with just 6 months left on his contract (where he's riding the bench even though the way they play suits him a little more than here).... A move that suprised most of the footballing world.
PEH was being used as a sub here all last season, but his deal was also coming to an end and he wanted to be a starter so was found a new club/league where he could start.
How come there’s no Dr Manu? I’d love to see them giggle like that if Roy Keane was sitting next to them. They’re like children. And unprofessional ones at that.
The performance was actually quite good if you take on board that we tried to limit their chances and stifle any threat from Mbueno.
Fullbacks rarely charged forward and the front three stayed closer to the middle three who sat just in front of the back four making for a much tighter display.
Yes it wasn't vintage, but it got the job done and if Richie had taken his chances, we'd have been laughing.
You could say the same about Brentford and their chances but in the end, they never had many clear cut chances really.
Brentford havent beaten us at their place for 77 years. Did find that funny when I heard that.
I wasn’t driving so I went with a round number of 5.
Which is a lot for me these days!!
Plus a cheeky couple of amaretto’s as a nice relaxer now I’m home.
I probably need to delay my start time tomorrow morning.
Bentacur had a good game today. We still need an upgrade in midfield in summer though. Bentacur was classiest player on pitch I though. Spence easily motm.
Scrappy win, clean sheet and three points!
We’ve needed that kind of win for months.
Watching us lose 4-0 in the league probably... awful Wednesday night... we had a player sent off in first half
The funny thing from today is that people are belly-aching about lack of possession, inferior XG etc......... Yet, wasn't what we saw actually some semblance of a much fabled "Plan B" (*) ?
(*A "Plan B" btw, that despite being told we've never seen it, was absolutely visible in other games this season too.)
I don't expect today to change any broader opinions about the manager (he's type-cast himself with his repeated "It's who we are" comments afterall); but it's a sure sign that some of you fuckers are just forever searching for an angle from which to complain and pick holes and aren't actually doing so in hope of a resolution.

People in football will always have biases and opinions. As Sky have moved to a more banter era, social media clickbait tone, that’s just the facts of life. It’s all on Levy, who let us become the puncbag of the PL. The London wannabes who sit in a gleaming stadium, with an average team and win nothing.
