.....Or just roll out a begrudging 1 liner despite themselves; just for show, like.
Just being fair and balanced, fella.
Let’s hope this can be a bit of a kick starter for us for the season. Good to see Johnson on the score sheet twice in one week, should pick his confidence right up.
Haven’t seen any of it as I’ve been out all day, noticed on the stats that most things looked even but we seemed to have a lot more shots - were we well on top throughout in an attacking sense or did we just seem to be giving it a go from range a bit more today?

I think a lot of us thought Brentford would be the ideal team to exploit our weaknesses, which makes today’s performance all the more sweeter.
I think the swifter pace we moved the ball was the defining feature today, and meant they didn’t have the same opportunity to nullify our attacks.

We pretty much dominated except perhaps 10 or so minutes in the second half where they had a few chances, because it's Premier League football and that's what happens.
We really should have scored about 5 or 6.
Never said they'd admit to it, mind.
I should have added that part.
Drove up to my Daughter's during the second half (it's my Birthday), listening to some tunes when the Old man rang me to tell me we'd gone 3-1 up. The tune that was playing at the time?

I'm not here to argue with you.
That last post seemed a bit of a wriggle out but whatever, we are both here enjoying this football and that win. On to the next one.
I think there’s probably a handful of games across a season (across all teams) where one team utterly dominates for 90mins so that’s no shocker - good to see we were on top though.
I think the goals we SHOULD have scored has been the key theme this season, so even if we should have had more, it’s good to see us tucking away three rather than one and then struggling …it’s forward momentum and that’s what we want!
I’d say you are more like unfair and imbalanced.
Just my opinion.
We definitely seemed more inclined to play the occasional long ball which almost paid off a couple of times.
I am constantly amazed at how brittle these people are, whilst being utterly evangelical about telling anyone who will listen everything is fine everything's okay.
They are the definition of snow flakes. I couldn't give a shit about what anyone else says on a football forum designed for people to share opinions. It effects me not a jot, could careless. I'm upset by Spurs losing and playing poorly( and there's been too much of that the last six months). Now that can actually sour my mood.
Much swifter ball progression was my one big take away from today.
We pressed like demons as a team too.
Some good shot stopping from Vic interlaced with some ‘Carry on Football’ moments!
Got away with one handling the ball outside the area too!
i hope he got at least 33 more birthday this seasonTHFC obviously got the memo it was your birthday!
