We need to be on that plane too :-\

Young Ethan perhaps lacks beef, yet he plays as if he believes he doesn't? One shudders to think if we'd be where we are if all those absentees...

Yes. The boss sounded relieved, delighted and very happy and proud to have negotiated the past few weeks in such good order, results-wise. It's on.

Even champions don't win every game they should. We take that tough, fighting away score draw and we move. We've had a terrific few weeks.

Don't worry; Bayern is Finnish :thumbup:

That will change, Jesus has returned :-)

Yes, there is that.

They sort of do. You don't want to "lose the dressing room."

They won't like that; there's cheap Champions League goals on offer here. Football players are so selfish, only ever thinking about themselves and...

One is forced to wonder if they're even serious here. Do we need more goals? #10 is coming on.

True. But everyone will tell you officiating in the Premier League is incompetent at best.

Not a good sign if your cutman is on so early in the fight either.

Yes, great point.

Yes, we do. But there's always one game, one performance, in the season in which the wheels just fall clean off. We cannot take anybody lightly.

Yes, fair assessment. We did well.

Strong side out tonight, at least. Let's go!

Right. Hiring a rookie manager means offering lots of time, not to mention money, is more or less baked into the agreement from the start.

I'd argue we haven't even BEGUN to be patient yet, bearing in mind the catching up he has had to do just to get us to a place where we could even...

Yes, this is an important point. The club seem to be putting that on the players failing to report even suspected trouble soon enough and preferring...

The "new" money in the game changed all that though. Now, there's no time for strategies and the only thing that can save a Premier League manager is...

Lovely! I suppose that's why they keep sacking managers despite winning a trophy; home league form is EVERYTHING, especially if you haven't actually...

Completely agree. Though it is interesting how so many great players of yore have such ordinary numbers. How do you "account" for that; I mean, it's...

I would've taken 4-nil, but the whole thing was simply too ridiculous to get upset about. Your dislike for them is noted though.

Statistics for statistics' sake. I blame gamblers and fantasy football league players. And statisticians, of course. All so they don't have to...

That was a decent side. People have long tried to convince everyone that good defending is synonymous with boring football.

I'm watching them too; no idea how they're doing so well. We'll find out, I suppose :-\

Surely we just wanted to give him the week off without saying anything; back for Sunderland. Weren't the centre backs supposed to miss matches...
