They didn't hear you.
Well done Gareth Bale. Really dominated the game today like we often want him to. He was everywhere and a fucking beaut goal too.
Thought lennon was quite quiet today and why does parker always look so nervous with the ball at his feet?

yes yes but how many points are we behind chelsea?
Our last two transfer windows have been heavily criticized (some fair, some not) but it must be said we've made some great signings. Lloris, Vertonghen, Dembele, and Holtby (maybe being presumptuous but he certainly looks a player) are guys that can lead your team sheet for years to come. Plus, if Adebayor comes back to last year's form and Sigurdsson is still young. Overall, we've done good work IMO.
In regards to this year, we'll go as far as Bale takes us. When he plays like this we are a different team. However, he still has the tendency to disappear from time to time.
Good win I thought.

Seriously wtf are you expecting?
Hardly anyone ever gets a result away from home in PL - we are going to finish 4th, only behind the three teams in the league with virtually unlimited resources.
This is pretty much as good as it gets, so if you aren't mildly content with it then you may as well give up.
what about everton?
according to the Sky Sports commentator WBA have the best home record this season apart from the "Manchester Clubs"
At one point Holtby lofted a diagonal ball to the edge of the area, brought back fond memories of VDV.
I thought the amount of tempting crosses that just sailed across the front of the goal and out the other side was simply scandalous.
Parker looks like he's not entirely in control of what he's doing. Though his enthusiasm went some way to making up for that.

didn't realise that. Heard a stat yesterday that everton have only lost to chelsea at home this season, so maybe more draws than wba?
Yeah I was just thinking about it now and it's pretty remarkable how well we've retooled after potentially crippling losses this offseason. You summed it up perfectly, "a new spine".
that was a fucking peach of a ball. didn't just find the player but put it into space for lennon to run into
Cracking result. West Brom have been immense at home this season so to get 3 points there is a god send. Now we can really push on. I think the Defoe injury will be a blessing in disguise, he has been off form recently and it will force us to play someone else. Any one else.
Popov sending off was spot on, would have been disappointed with one of our players for doing that. They were always going to shut up shop after that and make it hard for us to break them down, we have struggled against sides that have done that all season, we did well today and actually had a few chances.
Ben Foster made some pretty good saves from Dempsey, Bale and Holtby.
To say we didn't create chances would be a gross misinterpretation of the facts, and to say our players were not committed to getting the result would be even worse.
Get some perspective people, we are undefeated in 9 games, playing some lovely stuff, looking very strong for fourth, and still have games at home to decide our fate against City and Woolwich.
We are Tottenham Hotspur and we can and will do this.

Just checked, WBA had 7-2-2 and Everton 6-6-1
So basically Sky Sports were chatting shit, again! :avbfacepalm:
But still, decent home form!!
