trippier some fool tho

fuckin hell we should be out of this match

such terrible defending off the ball

trippier and foyth again

soft one there tbh

Well we had our money's worth

2nd pen looked v dubious

But I'm as happy as I can be with that result

overall reffing helped us more tbh

It's all big picture to me, we're learning and developing week on week

rub it in

Lol soz. But srsly, you're in good shape considering new ground and distraction from squad development, that was a good win.

whenever my team wins i also yearn 4 the sympathy of the defeated

P impressed with Arsenal yesterday. Some shocking reffing everywhere in the league judging from the highlights. Allison on Mkhitaryan p clear penalty, maybe Leno on Van Dyk also. Leicester have one cleared off the line with a hand ball but the guy who took the shot was offside by a mile anyway, neither offence spotted. West Ham clear penalty vs Burnley, Wolves wrongly disallowed goal etc etc.

i mean, iirc. Not that regular an occurrence lol

think i was just making myself feel better tbh

Keepers have always been allowed to take players out in the air with impunity

Both should have been penalties though yeah

gonna have to wait for Super Monday for my meagre ration of entertainment, if we actually manage a win against Fulham then it will also be a moral victory for our spendthrift club philosophy cos they have spuzzed away a fortune to be just as shit as us. In dismal relegation seasons you have to dig deep for positives, and they aren't even positive!

the last manager who managed a Great Escape is currently managing an old folks home in Brighouse and he was a complete dolt. Great Escapes just don't happen in the prem these days. Was listening to stats on 5 live that said this season all the top 6 have taken more points off the shit sides than Man City did at this point last year.

if you were going to penalise keepers from coming out and wiping people out you'd need to announce it first

spurs have won 34 of 37 against newly promoted sides and drawn other three, acc to guardian fw podcast so yeah its three leagues at the moment

taking out a player after he gets his shot away is the new hen fap

Keepers have always been allowed to take players out in the air with impunity

Those were both fair contests for the ball where the attacker got their header away and then collided with the goalie/the goalie collided with them. Neither was impeded. Play on – both spot on calls by the ref if you ask me.

The linesman having a fucking guess for Liverpool's disallowed goal though is quite annoying.

oh ffs

Huddersfield are playing quite well. Fulham aren’t showing anything.

Deserved!

after Billing rattled the bar for the nth time this seasohn I thought we were never going to score tonight again!

for a side who were 2nd biggest spenders to Liverpool this summer they are pretty weak all over the pitch on tonight's evidence.

that fouling little sessegnon fuck! should be a pen.

it's just so nice to see us pressing a side for the first time in ages, the old Wagner style is back. Obv helped by the fact that Fulham are mediocre all over the pitch and are defensively mid-table Championship standard. So are we I suppose - but we've got our Rolls Royce Kongolo back again, he ups the class of our defence to almost prem standard!

that fucking ref has let sessegnon away with murder tonight. I know he's only 12, but he'll never learn like this.

how satisfying can an og 1-0 win on a mon night be? very tbh!

watch out prem Southampton + Newcastle, we're back!

big Phil Billing, not just the tallest outfield player in the prem but statistically one of the best midfielders. And we just deploy him League One style as a long throw merchant, where 3 of our goals have come from. I once nodded at him near Dixons Ice Cream parlour on Leeds Rd and he nodded back so I exaggerate what an amiable young lad he is.

isnt vestergaard about 8 foot high haha?

yeah but phil's impressive barnet pushes him up to 6 foot 8.

Never mind his ankle, he looks 8 months pregnant in that pic.

"that you in there Mitrovic?"

It's a particularly unflattering kit.

The notable shift this season has taken place lower down, where a group of clubs are in danger of being cut adrift even before the leaves have finished falling from the trees, with their plight so desperate that league victories in November are celebrated like winning cup finals in May. They are playing survival football with 27 matches remaining.

lol! that us. If its going to be 22 points to stay up this season then perhaps they were right to celebrate that win like a cup final. Whatever happens this season, after the meagre scraps of entertainment in recent times (first home win since April and lots of games where we look like the Belgium putting out a red carpet for the Wehrmacht) then relegation might not be the worst outcome tbh.
