we can't even mess around, we have to win it now, it's time to take it.
Not even if it means Spurs stay up.

I remember thinking this after the Bournemouth game. You think a draw is no good but actually it could have been crucial.
They mentioned pressure, but bottle is reserved for us. That is the way it goes. They've won titles, we haven't.Quote:

And the most frustrating thing was not the equaliser, it was City's second goal. How can one pass cut straight through the middle of your team to give Haaland a 1 on 1. It was beyond terrible defending by Everton. (I also thought they defended poorly for the other two goals, stood off and gave City too much space on the edge of the box).Quote:

Good God, it would be hilarious if him and B combine for 3 goals a game from now on.
That no look pass to B for our second. I have never seen so much space opened up with a short sideways pass.
I know Vik would have been buzzing, he's already scored a decent goal and he's made the crowd happy. But even so. Had Bergy/Cesc/Ozil etc played that pass we'd have been creaming our pants.
Not bad for a cock-eyed, three-legged donkey, imo.
