And the first was?

I think he would be a perfect fit for us and,no, not necessarily too ambitious.

Ah ha ha ha!!! Have you seen someone has voted for Wanyama as their man of the match! That's ridiculous, any fool could see he was poor today, he got subbed FFS.

I thought Adam Lallanna looked quite pacey today.

I'm not. I don't get it.

Off topic slightly - do you really live in Ohio? I have always wondered. I also find your avatar slightly scary and some of your posts slightly odd, and could well imagine they are the product of a life spent in isolation in a shack somewhere in America. No offence intended, just interested.

Fair enough Canadasaint. I respect your opinion and agree that increased confidence levels are a major factor, but I still think he looked faster today (raw pace wise) than I've ever seen him.

It was a guy called Minty. He got there 2 posts before yours! TBF he included a cheeky winky at the end.

He was bad in that he gave the ball away 3 or 4 times and obviously then fecked up for the goal. However he is a beast as we all know and does the breaking up stuff so well (along with Schneiderlin) and if we can eradicate the bad and keep the good we have a superb player. I think we will eradicate the bad because it's just sloppiness, not inability (Fulham match he didn't put a foot (or pass) wrong IIRC so he obviously can do it, just needs to be coached into doing it ALL the time).

Brilliant display first half. Credit to Hull in the 2nd but the win was never in doubt. Big Vic just needs to concentrate on accuracy. He was getting there last couple of games but slipped back today capping it off with that silly bit of over confidence/casualness that lead to their goal.

That goal is the highlight of our season so far. Adam beginning to look as influential and effective in the Prem as he was at league 1 and Championship.

Aye, that is that and you shouldn't comment on it,

Thanks Clark-one saw that and you are right he did front up and take it on the chin, and I think that means me him and you all agree (?). Anyway nice to have a talking point like this but still would have preferred a straightforward 0 1 win!!!

Please expand on the "I will get those two points back" comment. I like that attitude but have not heard him say it - post match interview? Seriously Clarky I'm not trying to be argumentative, just interested and would love him to get them points back.

Do you think Big Arthur thinks he should have done better or do you think he thinks he played things perfectly and was just unfortunate to be caught out by the conditions?

We were comfortably the better team (again). But for the freaky goal (it's happened before, will happen again) a deserved one nil away from home would have been ours. Oh well, onward and upward.

Agree with all of that. Seriously, keep going like that and add a couple in Jan and top 4 isn't impossible.

Ok fella. Agreed great win and let's just enjoy that. Say no more.

Well done Roger, you clearly know how to put forward a reasoned argument when one is required.

Rog, did Osvaldo **** your mum or something? On and on. He didn't even play today ffs. He ain't been that great, agreed, but please give it a rest and stick to praising the players that DID play in a superb win (J rod, JWP, Clyne, Lovren, Lallana, Morgan, Vivtor) whoever really.

Just ridiculously good. 6 nil would not have flattered us.

No one 'just wants to slate Osvaldo'. Everyone is happy with a great performance and point. Some , including myself, have stated misgivings about Osvaldo's performances which don't look that brilliant so far particularly given how much we have shelled out for him. WTF is wrong with that? We all want him to start doing well and I for one expect he will - but he isn't yet, is he? Anyway, agree we are fourth and well worth it so happy days.

Agreed, superb for 3 plus yrs now. If I was being picky one more shimmy in that run today and he would have been through but he shanked an early shot instead. Maybe next time. But, again, think he is absolutely superb.
