You're a brave man, Charlie Brown!
fed up of all the negativity and criticism aimed at the team. It's working tho. Playing rubbish in every game but somehow getting the result, just like last season in the CL. They shouldn't have been there but they were. More please lads, keep playing badly and we'll keep complaining. Sod the rest of them
True but the team shouldn't fall apart from the lack of one player.
I don't know about scored......it was a very lucky fluke.
Tea, coffee.....horlicks?
With our best set piece taker gone, as I've said before, he's someone we might look at.
Talking of our former elite set-piece taker....
Anyone else notice Sonny is capable of beating the first man....? Several times in the same game too.
Well the direction of the kick is taking it towards the line while the spin is the opposite direction and changing the direction back towards play. As the ball rolls, it’s velocity and the spin on the ball are decreasing. In this case, just as the spin on the ball causes the path to become parallel to the sideline, the spin slows down enough that it is also not changing the direction of the ball and the ball takes a linear path right along the line.
Hey you asked.
It’s when they start displaying various degrees of psychosis that you would start to worry!
How's the Mrs?
I love the grit. The highs and the lows are coming fast and furious right now. That makes victory at the end that much sweeter. Would be great to be bossing it for the full 90, and not holding my head going prostrate before the TV as another opponents chance just misses the mark or is deflected by some strange luck. I have my health to think about don't I?
Every time we bear down and come back, we are just building that much more confidence for the future. If we get the tactics sorted then we will be on our way to something glorious. Pie in the sky? Maybe, but I'm not going to be miserable if we are winning no matter how ruff and tumble it is.

Jan was going to some dark place on the bench. For a guy who never seemed hard wired for being emotional, it struck me hard to watch him grip his head and close his eyes, maybe wondering what is going on with himself. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, and he wasn't wounded, but it sure looked like it.
Supposedly, when Abraham Lincoln was warned that General U.S. Grant was an alcoholic, asked that his other generals be sent a case of whatever Grant was drinking.
Having (finally) watched the game; it is clear that both goals were easily avoidable; and I'd like to think that Mourinho will really tighten up our defence.
Goal 1 - Shane Long ran past Ndombele and Aurier into the box. Both were ball watching and not alert. Neither tracked the runner. Once the shot was taken, Aurier saw the threat but was not able to recover and block the shot.
Goal 2 - A calamity of errors. Saints were able to run with the ball from their own half. Son, Alli () or Winks should have conceded the free kick and given away a cheap foul to slow the play and allow us to get back behind the ball. Tanganga should have done better to stop the shot and not have allowed Ings to turn onto his stronger right foot.

That's why age is such a factor in defence. But that's also a way he will surely learn a lot from games like that where he played in his natural position and analyse situations afterwards. Excited for the future of this kid.

You've said lots of stuff before - sadly for you 90% turned out to be total bollocks - we don't forget
How you doing, as expected the treatment is pretty harrowing to watch, think the trip to the stadium was a bit much physically but mentally did the world of good, we’re back in hospital today
